I don’t give a shite how hypocritical other people are.
I do, specifically in this area.
And they do, clearly, b/c of the Gordian Knot they've created to support this "war" (they won't even admit it's a war)

What do you think Iran should look like when we’re done
You're doing the false choice/framing thing, here.
Your presumption is that I think this war was wise, and then asking me how I think this unwise war should be resolved.

The Quds force is the 2nd most active special forces unit in the world, maybe the most active. Without Iranian funding and training the groups will not have easy access to high tech missiles and drones.
Islamic terrorism always finds a way.
Have you not witnessed the whack a mole in the region since 1979? Specifically 2003 through ISIS?

God damn dude, are you capable of having your own position or opinion?

I already did that

Outside of that paradigm, your question is kind of a false premise that requires the presumption that we have to do something re: Iran.

Troops on the ground = invasion period

So your opinion is that we shouldn’t have done anything about Iran. Got it.

Yeah, I know everyone is rah rah that we are trying to checkmate China and BRICS. But, at some point, if we cut off China's access to energy -- they are going to kick over the game board. It's existential at some point.

IMO there’s no other way to accomplish regime change.

I’m all for blowing up Iran if we have to -hell turn it into a parking lot. But I hope we don’t send our boys over there. That would be inviting a disaster. Let those people kill each other and we can blow it up again if we have to.

I CERTAINLY don't believe the risk of engaging in regime change is worth the likely cost
Posted on 3/7/26 at 9:11 am to SlowFlowPro
I do

quote:No. The irony is they've stated a goal. You just don't believe it is attainable without a Bush-style invasion. That's your prerogative. But the "OMG!-OMG!-OMG! OMB is gonna deploy thousands of US ground troops to fight hand-to-hand with the IRGC in urban combat" hand wringing is ridiculous.
And the irony here is there is no objective/goal stated by the admin. Why don't you save those words for them?

It’s not a decision. It’s a bunch of people looking for content to get clicks and likes. It’s silly.

They've stated multiple. Which one are you referring to?

They've stated multiple.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I've simply not heard any proposal for thousands of US soldiers engaging in ground combat in Iran. My presumption is any goal would be withdrawn if it is shown to require deployment of major US ground forces.

Naw.
If they argue there are multiple goals, there is no singular goal. My point stands.

It's an important question.

I asked you to describe your perception of the "goal" you referenced. I'm the one refusing to read your mind (and allow you to pivot later)

That's irrelevant. I'm asking you which goal you were referring to here

Those are your words. Not mine.

Then we're likely going to end up right back in the same place.
