You seem upset that the regime we vowed to take out of power is being splintered by at least two separate outside forces. I'm not surprised that you appear to support the world's leading exporter of terrorism.

You think civil war in Iran is going to likely result in a better regime taking over?

I do. Not right away, but they would most likely evolve into a better regime without the religious fanaticism. You can buy off regimes like that.

I feel like people aren't paying attention to the fact that we destabilized things elsewhere in the ME.
- Saudis may be in trouble.
- Apparently, Syria is a mess and Jolani is in trouble.
- Didn't resistance forces in Iraq hit the Saudi pipeline? Either way, chaos there, too.
- Oh, and Gaza and Lebanon, I almost forgot about that.
Entire region may go up in flames.

That sounds horrible

We should go back to giving Iran billions to build nukes and fund terrorists groups throughout the region

Yeah, thats the ticket

Actually, oil never stopped transiting the strait; we know that now that the numbers were even suppressed.

Massive Daily Volumes: Despite the ongoing tensions, oil has kept flowing. U.S. Central Command reported that they have assisted the passage of more than 800 million barrels of crude oil through the strait since May 2026.

SFP wants the Iranian regime to stay in power simply because it supports his TDS America-last narrative.

You do realize I called this, right?

Why would I be upset to be proven right, again?

That's why oil prices are so high right now. Fake news.

All that, just so we can a little more than half through per day compared to before the war.

Everyone sees you for the dumbass, anti-American moron you clearly are. Trying to claim some sort of victory here is absolutely absurd.

Some of us clearly laid out the problem of the sectarian violence probability at the outset of this campaign. How did the admin, when their strategy was to kill multiple levels of leadership and create a leadership balck hole, not understand and/or anticipate this?

Everyone agrees there is a population who doesn't want the regime

Everyone should agree there is another sizeable population who does want the regime. One that is large enough to create a major sectarian conflict with or without the regime being in power.

Everyone of rationality and intelligence should also understand that there will be multiple other groups who want to seize power themselves, and foreign interests will also create/support groups so they can seize their own power.

And this is all discussing this without even referencing the Kurds.

Gas is literally $1.50 more per gallon than it was at the start of the conflict exclusively because we initiated this idiotic quagmire.

I find these discussions sort of miss the point.

You either believe Iran was pushing towards a nuclear weapon or not.

If you believed they were, you either believe it was worth trying to stop them or not.

It seems like that is hardly discussed, even though everything that follows flows from that.

For the Internet required Godwin's Law:

We wouldn't have said "Hey, we should stop Hitler but it's gonna be super hard and gas prices will go up"

But maybe some people would think that way I don't know.

Anyways, my passing musings!
