Israel - Iran War

[Decked]

Yes the Russian talk show host. Very believable!

Not that we needed any more confirmation of how we ended up with an equally ignorant "leader."

That great American public school system!

If Iran fights back this will end up being a regime change. Especially if they attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz

Outside of Russia, who else has nukes friendly enough with Iran to do this.

Russia is not dumb enough to do this.

A bit of good news, it is being reported that we let Iran know of the bombing ahead of time, so hopefully it was just political theatre to appease Bibi and the retaliation will be a nothing burger.

So they have chosen death. Believe this still needs to be okayed from the top FYI.

^^^ A more radical (and pretty likely pyrrhic) move would be for Iran to attack surrounding oil fields. That would hurt them long term and piss off the Saudis but it would throw the oil/gas markets into a full-blown meltdown.

Anyways some people are enjoying a neocon moment and taking a victory lap, but I for one find it ridiculous we’ve already got the VP out on the Sunday shows claiming “we’re not at war with Iran, we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.

Big onion headline energy. So nostalgic!

Yes, we will take them out just like the Taliban. Oh wait…

I suppose when you've gutted the intelligence agencies, stored top secret information in the s#!tter at Mar-a-Lago, bleated out war plans over a chat app, and compromised human assets world-wide, you roll on instincts.  That, or whatever Bibi can filter to you.

You’re speaking of a government versus an insurgent group. They are two different entities entirely. I would rather us fight Iran than the Taliban. A faceless enemy is rather difficult if not proven to be almost impossible to wipe out entirely.

The Taliban runs Afghanistan. Isnt that what a government is? You dont just overthrow a govt and then everything is sunshine and roses. And didnt this current Iranian regime eventually come into power due to the Iranian coup the US orchestrated in the 1950s? How have we not learned from all the regime change disasters we did after WW2. Nicaragua, Congo, Cuba, Guatemala, Korea, Vietnam. None of those turned out great, so what makes this any different?

And dont you consider yourself Libertarian? Arent Libertarians against this type of BS?

 

[BigRedBuster]

That’s gotta piss him off.
