That requires a level of warfare this country doesn't have the stomach for anymore.

We could easily make the IRGC disappear militarily. That's never been the issue.

Calm down snowflake. This “operation” was brought on for no reasons other than (1) bibi thinks his 10mm people are above the other 8B in the world and (2) GI Drunk and Donny thought they could run roughshod over a nation thats been in existence since 10,000 BC , appeasing Bibi who runs the US congress and President via AIPAC, blackmail and bribery

TIL that 1979 was 12,000 years ago. Damn I’m old.

Why argue over who's more capable of rescuing downed aircrew as if only one element gets the nod and everyone else is a bystander?

Everyone...and I mean EVERYone is involved on this one. If the WSO isn't recovered, it won't be because the wrong asset was assigned to the job.

This is a combined effort, to include units that don't normally do this kind of thing.

Using Japan, Germany, Iraq, or Libya as evidence that regime removal creates stability is misleading.

Here's why:

Japan and Germany didn’t become democracies because of bombing—they were fully occupied, their governments dismantled, and their societies rebuilt under total Allied control. Nothing on that scale has been attempted by a multi-national coalition like that since 1945. Certainly not right now in Iran. It's been limited to Israel and the US, and no ground forces have been deployed in Iran. Yet.

Iraq and Libya show the opposite pattern. Removing the regime created power vacuums, insurgencies, militias, and long-term fragmentation. In Iraq’s case, Iran’s influence actually grew. Certainly not going to vacation in either of those countries anytime soon!

Don't think Iran’s Revolutionary Guard can be subdued like a typical military force—they are decentralized, deeply ideological, and intertwined with the economy. Rather than weakening them, airstrikes often reinforce their control. I don't they're going anywhere and therein lies the problem.

wanna take a gander at who put that regime in power?

We did.

The US CIA.

So we created a problem that has lasted 70+ years. Now we are starting a war over there to fix it and you have faith this time It won't create more problems?

And before you start shouting fake news this video is 3 years old, not some revisionist shite from this month motivated by the current war

Carter let that happen - he ignored the uprising. The Iranian people were also Va Btw Iraq is no longer a threat either


The seeds of the 79 were planted in 1953 when the US and UK overthrew the Iranian government and installed the Shah. We ended a democratic state in favor of a King that ended up being ineffective and corrupt.

I know all that, we should have handled our business and our puppet better. The Christians In Action went to sleep and Carter finished the party.

You do realize the revolutionaries in '79 cited 1953 as their justification for taking the US embassy right?

No official announcement that I've seen Video coming out of Iran indicates something may have happened. But so far only rumors.
