God my post really chapped your arse didn’t it? I asked the board’s opinion and gave my own.

I really can't understand how you say this.

I'm sure it makes sense to you, but it doesn't make sense to reality.

Does iran get along now with their neighbors?

How much better would the world be if the current regime was gone and one favorable to the united states would be in power?

How many lives have been lost and how much money has been spent on the war in terror? Much of the opponent in the war in terror has been funded and trained by Iran.

How much worse would a nuclear iran be?

Do you think a nuclear iran would be extremely cautious about the use of nuclear weapons?

How about their ballistic missle program. Soon they would have missiles that could easily reach Europe and even the united states.

How difficult would it have been to fight a war against Iran who had 20,000 missiles instead of the 3000 they had now?

The cost of fighting an iran with 20k missiles would've been prohibitive. The destruction iran could've caused on civilian targets would've made carrying out a war against them impossible.

Once they can cause enough damage to the world, they can build their nuclear weapon program fully. They were digging up the nuclear material that they had stopped in their land that we destroyed.

Yes, their bunkers were collapsed and they were destroyed. When trump said he destroyed it, it was true. But it can be rebuilt.

And they were rebuilding it and they were going to find and dig up their uranium that they had already enriched.

The knowledge was still there. If the desire is still there, well they could do it. And quicker than what you might think.

Iran with 20k icbms and nuclear weapons would be a terror too the world. Even Russia and China don't want that. They want the Iranian regime in place but not a nuclear Iran.

Do you think they would be nice and easy to get along with if that happened?

Or do you think they would be worse?

So if you looked beyond the top of your nose, you would understand it is not a pointless battle we are waging. If anything it is a more just war than the Iraq invasion.

Amen! It is that simple an equation.

People eventually are going to have to search their conscience to continue supporting this...immoral, unethical, unnecessary war.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was seen greeting supporters and taking photos with them during the Quds Day demonstration in Tehran on Friday, March 13, according to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) News. Other prominent politicians, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami, were also in attendance, Iranian news reports said. Iranian state officials reported that Tehran was bombed today during the demonstration.

There are videos on YouTube, they don’t look very distraught to me. The president walking the streets shaking hands with residents with a smile on his face. A bomb hit in the distance while he was doing this. Whether this is legit or not remains to be seen.

Iran, Russia and china are still shipping their oil out without problems and it looks like Russia is a big winner with sanctions being lifted on their oil exports.

My biggest concern is, among many, is netenyahoo will convince trump to send in ground troops and we’ll be in another Iraq situation only this time without our European allies.

there is question as to whether it is still even a true theocracy given the fact they just installed the old mans inept kid in the Supreme position. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of "divine guidance" being the driving force.

"A theocracy is a government where religious leaders rule in the name of God or a deity, with laws based on religious texts and beliefs, meaning divine guidance is seen as the ultimate source of authority. In essence, religious figures hold political power, and the state's laws and policies align directly with the doctrines of the dominant religion. "

The “kid” is also a cleric.

Perhaps.

By definition the regime has changed. Whether the next regime continues to be a suicidal religious theocracy is the main question. But again, there has been regime change whether you want to admit it or not.

This is dumb.

Some blunders as well 2 F-15 shot down by friendly fire, an Air Force re-fueler plane incident, 12 soldiers died, a fire in laundry room of USS Ford,…

Be hard pressed to call those blunders.

It’s just the cost of doing business.

Somehow if it doesn't work out, the default will to be blame Sleepy Joe or Obama. The go-to excuse for everything when this admin messes up or catches heat. Zero accountability.
