Sorry for the Rupar link, but I think he didn't go with bridge and power plant day as the potential economic fallout is too much of a risk

Think power vacuum sucking in the ME neighbors who hate Iran and want a piece of it. By leaving some authority that must behave, we can expect peace.

I don't think leveling the country was the way to go. I'm glad Trump wised up and let JD work to resolve things.

Because, whether it's good or bad, we dont have the appetite and mentality for imparting total destruction.

In a mountainous country like Iran I would isolate a large metropolitan area by bombing roads and bridges. Arm those, in the area, who want to be rid of the regime and use airpower to prevent forces from infiltrating from the outside. Rinse and repeat. We will quickly find out if the people truly want freedom from the IRGC.

If that's our only path to strategic victory then we were stupid to start this.

Sole method available. . .

Nuking Iran to prevent them from getting a nuke is the most retarded strategy imaginable

Not to worry, Israel was attacking the USS Liberty. They wounded
over a hundred and killed about thirty.
Giving servicemen relief from the attack wasn't important. President Johnson and Sec Defense, McNamara recalled the fighter planes, that were en-route to give the dying sailers some protection.

Apparently, nothing has changed. Israel still has a protected status.

They had even considered an operation to sink the Liberty themselves to protect Israel from American outrage and abandoned that option and went into full media spin.

We should have completely neutered their military after the USS Liberty attack and never had any sort of alliance with them.

Glad you're cool with letting the Israelis off the hook for deliberately attacking US Navy vessels and maiming hundreds of Americans.

The world needs more Israeli first cucks like you
