Ok. So we have just taken out all of Israel's foes with force. They are safe now right? We can stop supporting them militarily in every way now right? They no longer need any weapons, intelligence support, defense support, etc, right? If this is the right path to their long term safety then this must be true.

To take a break from breaking havoc in Gaza, there was an israeli incursion into Lebanon (which included a fantastic supply chain attack) Then they tried to pick a fight in Siria for some BS reason (intervening Siria for protecting some jew friendly faction inside Siria, a la Russia protecting russiansnin Ukraine), then went to Iran, then continued milling Gaza, and now we are back at Iran, again.

No, support will never falther.

Even if you don't support US & IL standing in the frontlines against the terror regime, at least pray for the freedom of the people of Iran, 90m people held hostages by the regime. If you are pro-peace, do not be hypocrite, some wars are needed to defeat evil.

This is bad-faith rationalization. Looking at your comment history confirms that you only use HN to steer political narratives.

Iranian regime was the entire middle east’s foe, including Irans. Speak to your local Persian.

If by local you mean an émigré, they might be the worst person to ask.

While I have no love for the Iranian regime I fear this will end up like the 'liberation' of Iraq: A massive power vacuum in an unstable Islamic regime. What even is the plan here if the air assault fails? Boots on the ground? In Iran?

What even is the plan here if the air assault fails? Boots on the ground? In Iran? Other than nukes that would be the only option if they can blast the doors to the underground military cities. They will have to do it fast as the ships will not sustain combat for more than 5 days with their current ammo per the pentagon.

Why would warships only have ammo for 5 days??

Nothing like a war to boost your popularity just before the elections

> Nothing like a war to boost your popularity just before the elections If he pulls off a regime change, even a Delcy-style swaparoo, he'll get it, and arguably not undeservedly. It will ultimately come down to Iran's capacity to inflict casualties on American forces.

Is our memory so short? Regime change in Iraq destabilized that region for 2 decades.

Peace president ah? American terrorists never learn to mind their own business in their own country. Where are all the MAGA clowns? How exactly attacking Iran make their country great? Murdered million children in Iraq and now they started their terrorism in Iran.

Some Iranian kids in Iran celebrating, I think https://x.com/shadygrooove/status/2027667467456442730

I know of at least 80 Iranian kids today who aren't in position to celebrate.

I don't think this is terrorism, that's not what the word means. It's a clear and open act of war, so in many ways much worse, but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

> but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.

It is, because it might impact normal citizens. Nobody has ever invaded US so coensequences of real war are unknown to most.

Does this contribute to global warming? Are the governments waging war paying their CO2 tax? I'd think they emit slightly more than a cow's fart.

War is the ultimate distraction.

Clinton bombed Serbia for 1/100th the severity of the Epstein files.
