IF Iran's Nuclear Program Has Been "Completely Obliterated"....

....is there any need to try to force negotiations by continuing to attack? It seems to me there is not. If they try to reconstitute the program just hit them again. It seems to me we should be using PSYOPs and covert operations to help the Iranian people overthrow the Islamic Government. Now that they have Starlink perhaps they can more effectively coordinate their efforts. And of course the US and Israel can provide military assistance as needed to pave the way.

For Gos's sake no boots on the ground and use military strikes sparingly. We don't want to set the region ablaze.

The US is not continuing to attack. Iran refused to dismantle their nuclear weapons facilities. Trump gave them 60 days, and they ignored him. The world does not need a nuclear Iran, so Trump acted. The issues between Iran and Israel extend beyond atomic capabilities. Israel is already over there, on the ground gathering intel for their strike forces. Once the ability of the regime to shoot missiles at Israel is destroyed, and all the Iranian Guard thugs eliminated...Israel will leave.

@TexChik Yes, unpredictable.

@MoveAlong Maybe for you, he did exactly what I would expect him to do.

@SunshineGirl Clearly, the author of the post has not considered that. The reason we have military bases in the Middle East is that the neighboring countries are afraid Iran will attack and invade them.

The last time the US intervened in Iran, they ousted a democratically leader called Mossadegh, reinstated the Shah who used a brutal secret police thus leading to the Islamic Revolution.

@basilfawlty89 To summarize for the people who don't have the patience to read even that:

@LordShadowfire Not sure I follow....but will say, the Monster was abandoned by his creator Henry Frankenstein, was beaten, tortured, and shot...rejected at every turn by society.

The Monster is the victim.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@JSul3 Exactly. And in the movie, Frankenstein confronted his own creation, the creature he made in his own hubris. Although I think I grabbed the wrong screenshot, lol.

We don't want to set the region ablaze.

A bit late for that, I fear. This is the most vaguely designed military strategy since GWB declared his "war on terror".

@TexChik I am the daughter of parents who spent most of the first decade of the 21st century fighting with the allies in that bats**t campaign. I seriously thought there could be no repetition.

@SunshineGirl So instead, we allow a psychotic regime to get nuclear weapons and see the world destroyed? History repeated itself , WWII could have been avoided with decisive action like that.

You have to remember that the USA is not a peace-keeping nation. That is not who Americans are and that is not what the USA is all about. If there's not a war already in progress for Americans to stick their nose into, then they'll start one. That's who they are and that's what they're all about. And then after Iran, there will be more.

It's never the end of fighting for the USA, which is why they will fall by the wayside no different than the Roman Empire did when they thought the world couldn't get along without them. The world is sick of that war mongering American mentality that keeps getting put in our faces, along with the kind of fuckked up Leaders that Americans vote into their Presidency to lead their sick nation. The world is disgusted with the USA and it's self-serving interests which is why Iran has absolutely no tolerance for Israel or the USA.

@samueltyler2 Sure I do. Just like I believe the US has been the force behind chaos, death, etc.

In the past.

And now here we are doing it again. But Iran wasn't. Iran was abiding by the agreement they made with President Obama before all of this.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@LordShadowfire the agreement was actually with POTUS Obama.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@samueltyler2 Yes, thank you. I edited my response.

@jshm2 Wow. That's a huge relief. Watching the headlines, from either side, it makes it sound like he bombed the hell out of them.

The last thing Iranians need are a bunch of you-all's and Israels telling them how to form a government or how to run their own country. Why does the USA have such a hard time minding it's own business, I wonder?

MoveAlong · 70-79, M

@swirlie The idea wouldn't be to tell them how to run their own country but to give them the chance.

swirlie

@MoveAlong
The Iranians already have the chance! They've been forming their own governments long before the USA was even considered a country. Why do you think the US knows more about forming stable leadership in the Middle East than Iranians do when you have the likes of Trump leading a wolf pack of followers?
