Yeah, Libya and Iraq didn’t spark WWIII!
Good point. The new Iran government will be pro US and the West. My bet this will happen soon. Putin loses another comrade.
Will the people be smart enough to get rid of the mullahs on their own? They tried under Biden & Obama. Timing was off.
Russia, China, and Iran are all members of BRICS.
BRICS "Rio de Janerio Great Reset" is set for 7/6-7/2025.
News reports indicate that China buys 90% of Iran's oil production.
Iran has been supplying Russia with drones in its war with Ukraine.
I have not seen anything in the news indicating the Iranian people are rising up against the mullahs. Of course reliable information on what's happening inside Russia, China and Iran is very hard to come by.
Why is Iranian oil off limits? Hit their ports…..no tankers…..infrastructure.
Did Israel sacrifice their soldiers in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)?
Did Israel sacrifice their soldiers in the Persian Gulf War?
Did Israel sacrifice their soldiers in the Second Gulf War?
When has a power vacuum in the Muslim world every been filled by pro-US and Western government in the past 25 years?
It's a fantasy that has failed over and over again.
Fundamentalist regimes almost always fill power vacuums in Muslim nations.
Because it will increase oil prices and screw over Americans.
And, how does any sane person expect the Iranian not to hate us if we do that and don't spend money rebuilding the country?
It's an incredibly bad idea.
Rand Paul labeling this as a “forever war” indicates something is not right with him.
“Why dismantling Iranian threat won’t create another Libya or Iraq”
because Persians are not Arabs ...
Rand Paul might be right—we may have to occupy Iran for decades.
“Trust me bro, THIS time it will work…”
Ideally regime change will be organically driven by Iranians themselves and the creative efforts of various intelligence agencies. Expect the theocrats and military to steadily come down harder and harder on the people to the point where they organize and rise up. It will be brutal and ugly, but necessary.
/heavy sarcasm off/
Didn't the Bushes ask Israel not to participate so as to not offend the Muslim sensibilities of the Muslim nations that helped us?
Yeah, let’s follow the Clinton/Albright doctrine who allowed North Korea to build their bombs. Ho0w did that work out?
This guy is way too confident. No one has any idea what will happen if the current regime is deposed. It could be a pro-Western government. Or it could be years of civil war and chaos leading to another ISIS on steroids. That’s not a reason to keep the regime in place. But no one should be glib about what will happen.
“ Yeah, let’s follow the Clinton/Albright doctrine who allowed North Korea to build their bombs. Ho0w did that work out?”
No harm to the US so far. Avoided another war.
Pretty good, IMO.
