You do realize that the people in charge of Iran are religious radicals that think they get 72 virgins if they die as martyrs don’t you? How is it that we have fought against radical Islamic terrorist this long and you have not learned anything about the ideology these people believe in? These people are crazy. They are willing to drive a car into a crowd of innocent people or walk into a building and shoot as many people in sight before someone can kill them. They are willing to pack a car full of explosives or wear a vest full of explosives and then find the nearest crowd of people and detonate. You can’t trust these people with a box cutter and you think they should be trusted with nukes? Really?

Idgaf about their ideology, they are halfway around the world and not a threat to me in Louisiana. Let them get a shitty nook and try and use it, they will be instantly wiped off the face of the earth

The 9-11 hijackers were halfway around the world also at one time.

Oh and by the way. I bet the Army vet that grew up in Texas would love to hear about how folks in Louisiana do not have to worry about terrorism since it just affects people halfway around the world. I bet he would love to hear all about it if he were still here above ground with us. He died on New Years Eve of 2024 after he drove to New Orleans and placed 2 IED’s on the street and then proceeded to ram his rented truck into a crowd of people killing 14 and injuring over 50 I think it was. He then got out of the truck and proceeded to start shooting until the cops finally killed him. The interesting thing about all of it was minutes before he done all of that he uploaded videos online swearing allegiance to ISIS. Too bad he is not here above ground with us right now. I’m sure he would love to hear all about how the good folks of Louisiana does not have to worry about terrorist attacks since they occur halfway around the world.

I’d bet money there are Green Berets over there now.

i think the usa fights wars now with proxies. we are at war now with russia only we pay ukraine to spill their blood battling russia. in syria, we paid ISIS to bring down assad. we had to add on sanctions but trump finally got his isis guy in there running syria. same in libya, only they brought in muslim brotherhood terrorist to stick a knife up gaddafi's butt. who are the proxies for iran? the kurds? you would think we learned a lesson in afghanistan. we went in and kicked the talliban out. stayed 20 years and spent trillions. then the talliban took it back over the day after we left. this is nothing but an oil play.

Things have changed…..

The economic siege would win but Muh mid terms

Target all capability of the irgc to continue and you win

Chine sending weapons to Iran has to stop. China is about to feel 200% tariffs and economic collapse

According to Trump, we have already won the war something like 40 or 45 times already.

It’s not possible to win against a radical regime that doesn’t give a shite about its people or the country’s economic well being.

Lets start sneaking our poorest people into Iran. We will call the natives Americanophobes if they notice. Gradually increase the numbers until their infrastructure breaks down, and then send ALL of our poor/prisoners/mentally ill at once. Insist that they accept the new norms and laws of the Americans and that American's built Iran. Take down their flags and monuments. Steal from them. Infiltrate the government. Boom. The country will be ours.

i'm 50 and have never seen a war won in terms of signing a peace treaty and such.
