re: The war with Iran started in 1979.

No it didn’t. It began when Iranians elected a nationalist named Mohamed Mossadegh as Prime Minister in 1950. Mossadegh wanted to nationalize BP (which used to be Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company), which the west did not like. They overthrew him and replaced him with the Shah, who tried to secularize a population of 90% Shia Muslims. The hostages would never have been taken if we had given the Shah back to the Iranians for him to face his day in court. Remember that the Shah stole billions from the Iranian people on his way out and then deposited it into American and Israeli banks.

War is mass murder and should be avoided at EVERY cost if you call your nation a "Christian" one. I fail to see where this was a war America needed. And if we have to really commit to holding ground and this thing escalates past the point of these tiresome semantical games, I hope more think really hard about that.

We’ll see how this unfolds (I predict a success bc Trump ain’t fricking around),

This thread is retarded. The war started 8 days ago.

47 years of the Iranian people suffering is why it will be different this time. Three generations of hell.
Imagine how you'd feel as an Iranian in Tehran, spending your entire life being held hostage by these lunatics? Watching your kids and grandkids being trapped in the same prison. After a lifetime living a nightmare, you're not gonna be picky with who's in charge next, and you're gonna give them plenty of time, even if things are just slightly better.
They're not comfortable Westerners, watching this from afar, eager to compare this to Iraq. They have been struggling to survive for 47 years. In their position, you or I would absolutely welcome any sort of change.

That is the most mind-numbingly ignorant stance.
It's no different than bitching about someone for their buying and using an umbrella because they had left their umbrella at home because the forecast said there would be no rain today.
You can't refute what I said, so you said one big word salad that has exactly zero meaning.

I love Reb, but I hate seeing him put out these terrible talking points like Dems do.
Judge Nap put together a nice highlight reel of Trump statements on this (starts at 2:27).

It will require a different form of authoritarianism...like the one the "Deep State" installed in 1953. See above

How about the pricks that rolled out the auto-pen while Biden was vegging. Now that was deep state. Oh and the bunch using billions of tax-payer money to finance far left causes using USAID as a front.
Maybe you're just slow or deliberately ill informed ?

The lunatics took power because Iranians had spent their entire lives held hostage by a different authoritarian regime that will resemble the one we have to install there now.

And the question, I must remind you, is why they will accept change that resembles the very regime that this current regime rallied the population to oust in 1979? We have literally done this before and it directly led to the 1979 revolution.

One strong note, is that Rich City Iranians are not the same as the rest of Iran.
Very different people and views.
Much like Cubans.

I can and did, but I'll dumb it down for you since you don't seem to grasp metaphors.
You can run on not getting into military engagements, not getting into regime change, etc. all you want, but when the reality becomes that an adversary is attacking you through intermediaries you either change your stance or you continue to be attacked.
It's even more than that though.
Iran is a violent adversary, funding groups like Hamas, Hezbollah the Houthis, etc. These groups have in turn attacked US interests, US allies, funded groups which will do so or some combination of any/all of the three.
Maduro was beaten in his election but decided to refuse to step down. Under his violent and oppressive regime there have been thousands upon thousands upon thousands of Venezualans who have fled the country, many coming here illegally. Along with that he's cozied up to the Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel del Noreste, FARC and ELN, providing them cover while they make, transport and sell drugs around the world, especially to the US.
China is our primary adversary in the economic realm, having taken away ~3.7M-3.8M jobs from the US since 2000 (which is helped greatly by China manipulating their currency and engaging in slave labor). Along with that they are prolific in stealing intellectual rights (music, movies, software, patents, etc). Do I mention this because we are going to attack China next?
No, I mention it because Iran and Venezuela are two of the top providers of petroleum to China. Taking them off the table weakens China while also removes two adversaries from our concerns.
You're welcome.

Correct
Every single person saying we've been at war for 47 years, not a one of them were posting this was war months ago when we dropped the bunker bomb.
That side was adamant it was not a war and mocked anyone who suggested it was.
Why do people forget that happened?

Because circumstances changed, I can't put it more simply than that. I explained those circumstances, you're just too dug into your political stance to see the reality of it.
That's not a "me" problem, nor is it a "Trump" problem, it's a "you" problem.

It all started with Sykes-Picot of we’re playing this game.
Posted on 3/7/26 at 1:22 pm to Rebel
How old are you? Apparently you were not born yet. It all started in WW2. Which changed so many countries and people. Look at China.
