Free Republic

Spot on.

Schumer and Jeffries bitterly hate America. That is why Americans must come to understand that any vote for any Democrat, anywhere anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation.

Unless the current Iranian regime is removed and the enriched uranium is secured, this war will be a futile exercise. The regime will not be overturned by eliminating the “supreme leader” and top officials. The regime is a web of perhaps fifty thousand insiders who control the oil industry and its revenues, the banks, the bazaars, the food supply, the military and the goons that suppress the people. This web will not go away easily without a fight. They have nowhere to go and know what will happen to them when they are deposed. While there perhaps is a majority of Iranians who want this regime gone, there are many who bitterly resent that Iran is being humiliated by Israel and America. Regime change can’t be done from the air and will require American boots on the ground, hard fighting and casualties. It will take time. The longer it takes the less the American people will support the sacrifice. The irony is that America will suffer the most if this unwanted, bloody foreign entanglement results in the crazy Democrats winning the 2026 and 2028 elections.

The Israrlis realize thatif this war is to be successful , there must be no “Supreme Leader”. Mossad will identify the idenities and location of those who are the backbone of the regime and the jets will attack accordingly. However American boots on the ground, heavy fighting and casualties will be necessary if this regime is to be truly destroyed. The real problem is that a prolonged war will not have the political support of a majority of the American people. If the regime however weakened continues to exist after a ceasefire and the enriched uranium is not secured, this war will have been a futile waste.

Actually no. Do not think this war scenario was properly “gamed out”. If it was it was played with faulty assumptions. Removing the “senior leader”, top generals and officials would not result in regime change. The regime consists of thousands of well connected individuals who control Iran and the goons that suppress the people. They cannot be uprooted from the air. They will not leave or quit voluntarily because they have nowhere to go. American boots on the ground, bloody fighting and casualties will need to happen. This was not “gamed out” The delusion was that the regime would quickly collapse if “decapitated”.

Just anothe example that Democratic run urban areas are unlivable.

Face reality. Trump promised in 2024 that he would not start any more wars in the Mideast or send brave young Americans far from their homes to die and get maimed in culturally alien lands. This war will badly hurt the American nation. It is already unpopular with Americans, The result will be that the America hating crazy Democrats will win the 2026 midterms and probably the Presidency in 2028. Iran is not worth American lives or what will happen to America.

Queer sap now runs through the Church.

Welcome to reality. Air attacks will not dislodge the tens of thousands that are the regime. They and their goons contol Iran and will not surrender without a very bloody fight because they know what will happen to them. It will take American boots on the ground, hard fighting and casualties to effectuate regime change and seize the enriched uranium. Its easy to start a war, not so easy to conclude it. BTW whatever happened to the massive popular uprising of the Iranian people?

Hope they had a good time but the reality is that the mullah regime remains intact, will not disolve with air attacks but will require American boots on the ground, hard fighting and many casualties to overthrow the tens of thousands that control Iran and their goons. BTW what ever happened to the predicted massive popular uprising in Iran?

Those Iranians celebrating in LA, NYC and on the media may be a bit premature. While killing Iran’s supreme leader, some generals ,commanders and officials is impressive, the regime itself remains essentially intact. That regime is a web of thousands of people who control the oil industry and its revenues, the banks, the bazaars, the food, the army, the security forces and of course the goons that ruthlessly suppress the people. These people are not about to voluntarily give up power because they know what will happen to them. They and their syncophants will fight to the end. Notice that thus far the anticipated huge popular uprising has not occurred. This regime will only fall if there are American boots on the ground, bitter fighting and casualties. It won’t be easy or accomplished from the air. Unless the regime falls and the enriched uranium is seized, it will be a failure and great harm will come to America because the Democrats will win the Congressional 2026 election and the Presidency in 2028. Then the crazies will do all they can to destroy the American nation. Iran is not worth it.

The killing of the “Supreme Leader ,some senior officials and generals does not break the back of the evil regime in Iran. That regime is controlled by the network of insiders who control the oil industry and its revenues, the banks, the bazaars, the police, the army and the security forces. They also pay ( in hard currency), the goons that keep the populace suppressed. Until these people are uprooted and eliminated, the regime will continue to function and survive.Their elimination will not happen as a result of bombing. It will take American boots on the ground, fighting and casualties.

Unless the current regime is destroyed and the stockpile of enriched uranium is seized, this war will be a failure. It will not be easy or quick work to destroy this regime.

Regime change in Iran will not be easy or bloodless. The mullahs are just the face of the regime. The power of the regime lies with the thousands who control the oil industry and its revenues, the banks, the bazaars, the military, the security forces and of course the goons. Iran has a population of 93 million and its a good assumption that over 80% want a “regime change”. However those now in control, motivated by self intrest, anger at being attacked and coerced by Israel and America and in some religous fervor, will not surrender easily, will fight on because they know that they will suffer a harsh fate if they lose control.

Therefore this war, which was easy to start, will not be easily concluded satisfactorily. Unless there is regime change and the enriched uraniud found and secured, it will be a failure. Therefore there will be American boots on the ground in Iran for a long time. Brave young American men will be killed and maimed once again. Let’s hope it is worth the cost.

Airlift a batallion of Marines and Special Forces to reoccupy the US Embassy in Tehran. If the Regime tries to fight, the Marines won’t be taken hostage this time. It would be a rallying point for Iranians who want freedom and the mullah regime totally destroyed.

Mossad knew where this guy was every day.Taking him out and some generals is impressive. However this regime is controlled by a large web of people who collectively control the banks, the oil industry, the bazaars, the military and security forces. They employ the goons to suppress the people. They will also fight desperately to maintain power. They know that unless they remain in control, they will likely be killed. Air strikes alone won’t overthrow them. Boots on the ground will be necessary and there will be much blood and casualties.

This young woman’s family can thank Biden for allowing these people to freely enter the country and the Democrat politicians the people of Virginia elected. They do all they can to prevent the Trump Administration from removing them.

The mullahs are the face of the repressive, evil Islamic regime. However there is an extensive web of well connected people who control the the military, the security forces , the oil revenues, the banks and the bazaars. They also control the goon squads. This infrastructure will not just melt away or go gently into the night.They know their fate will not be pleasant under the next regime or if they are caught by insurgent protesters. They will fight and shoot until they are eliminated. That will take boots on the ground. It always does.

Israel and the US can bomb Iran at will.Apparently Iran has no effective air defense. Also the counterattack missiles Iran are firing have not been effective. The Israel/US attacks have also killed high ranking leaders in the security forces and military. Yet despite all this it still may be necessary to put US boots on the ground to kill the goon squads and overthrow the regime. This war will not be bloodless for the US.

It should be remembered that the Democrats forced the closure of the Indian Point nuclear power plant which had supplied 25% of the electricity for NYC. Electricity is now forty percent more expensive in the city. There is little or no capacity to increase production. The high taxes and endless regulation of the capitalist hostile socialists is discouraging investment. Now investors realize that the New York area cannot provivide the electricity needed for AI , EVs and any real development.

It should be so easy. The reality of a war is often quite different. True Israeli and American aircraft were essentially inevitable when attacking Iran’s air defense systems nuclear facilities. Thankfully there were no Allied casualties and the mission was successful. However people adapt. Have the Iranians, Russians and Chinese studied that attack and tactics. Have they deployed new and more effective air defense? Will the security forces remain huddled in indefensible vulnerable targets? How will you kill the goons and mullah infrastructure without boots on the ground? If Trump decides to attack can only hope you are right. However this time you are seeking to kill or overthrough about two hundred thousand well armed Iranians who know that defeat will mean they lose everything. Doubt it will be bloodless for America.

If it is prolonged, expensive and bloody the Democrats win in 2026 and America suffers.
