Who is the "Supreme Leader"?

Someone part of the regime.
Well that's a convenient response, counselor.

Which illustrates my point. We don’t know is in power. Hence, this is all conjecture.

The truth is often convenient.

If they're all part of the same regime, the meat suits are irrelevant. It's still the same regime.

Am I supposed to believe this is a lot of money?

I reject the idea that it is a meaningful amount of money based on how y’all and the left treats fraud in the country.


It is. And "y'all" is who? Americans concerned about the cost of this war in lives and money? Didn't know that was a political delineation.

But..

I get the point. It’s hard to take that seriously when some people shrug off billions lost every year to fraud, waste, and improper payments as if that’s just the cost of doing business.

For example: A Treasury Inspector General audit found that $1.4 billion was paid out for 230 miles of concrete border wall that doesn’t exist — inspectors went to every GPS coordinate listed as “completed” and found empty desert. Where's the outrage on that for example? That's a lot of money to me.

Believe the point would be the inconsistency being the real issue here, not the dollar amount. If massive losses don’t register as a crisis, it’s fair to question why a much smaller number is suddenly being treated like some huge burden.

It's "cherry picking" to support a narrative. Most of us are guilty of it. I know I do sometimes.

But back to the point: I don't think American lives should be sacrificed for this war. And I'll ask again: "would you be willing to send your son or grandson to fight for this right now"? Be honest.

That’s not the only thing “we” aren’t in control of.

Whether it’s successful or a failure, it will have had zero input from anyone here.


Nice trolling though, you must’ve woke up wanting to argue with random people. Insecurity does that to a person.

If this is so evident, what is the point of the thread? To get someone to argue with you?

How can anyone interpret this as a trolling thread, especially after Trump's speech last night?

Trump's speech last night claimed regime change.

That seems to be dishonest/a bit of propaganda.

People seem to be promoting this dishonesty/propaganda

Very easily. You still haven’t realized you have no control over anything but you. So many lessons to learn.

Not in my estimation, no.

Based on the little information I have.

The left and its voters will push back against any peek into widespread fraud, and already have.

I’m convinced it could fund 100+ of these wars, on a yearly basis.

Is my son being drafted? I would be extremely against that.

Did he or she sign up as a career path? In that case I would have literally zero issue. Someone might need to walk me through this talking point people use to beat others over the head with. Don’t sign up for military and it’s benefits if you don’t want military action.

You cite thousands and ignore the millions in Iran who support the regime
I guess 9% of 94 million could be categorized as ""millions.""

89% of Iranians support democracy
75% of university grads reject the Islamic Republic
9% of Iranians support Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
9% of Iranians support former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
