You are aware that you can celebrate good outcomes and objectively morally good things, like the death of that bitch the Ayatollah, while still being aware that the major over arching goal is yet to be achieved, yes?

There are plenty of threads celebrating his death.

Why focus on that short-term situation in a thread clearly discussing more longer-term goals/impacts?

The difference being Iraq, Libya, such forth have an entire populace that have zero interest in a western style of life. Iran still has people alive that remember what life was like in a capitalist western style government.

So yeah there is a much better chance this works. Also most of the protests against the regime have come from colleges and younger Iranians. The ones that saw picutres and heard stories about life before the mullahs. That is a good sign. The ones on the internet and see the rest of the world and realize living under the rule of goat humpers isnt the best way to live life.

Specifying what you meant by "capabilities" is "not a relevant question"?


Just keep reading. I explained it. You have developed this weird thing where you selectively quote a portion of a post, then ask a question trying to criticize that portion, while ignoring the answer was already provided to you in the remainder of the post you chose not to quote.

quote:

My claim is that without regime change, they will end up back making them again, which is literally what we have seem the pats year.

Kill their leadership will just allow new leaders of similar ideologies to take over

Destroying their capabilities today doesn't prevent them from building them again (we have done this same song and dance multiple times)

This is where the people celebrating this operation (and its short-term success) typically fall onto conflation to respond to criticism.

This isn't true. Lots of Iraqis, Libyans, etc. died trying to promote just that during their sectarian conflicts. You could argue that population may be greater in Iran, but the population in question is the one opposing this sort of life. Even a small % of hardcore ideologues can devolve a society without government or institutions into widespread sectarian chaos/violence.

The question is how you prevent THAT without peacekeeping soldiers at the least. And the problem with Iran is that they don't have any ethnic-cultural allies to trust doing this. Iran's 3 largest enemies are the US, Israel, and SA, and those are the 3 countries pushing this action the most.

You should apply. You seem to have all the qualifications.

Let us know when you’ve been installed. It’ll take about the same time to target you as it will the next Mohammed that sits in the chair

The chair that had a bunker buster delivered to within about 4 feet of it in broad daylight yesterday.

I bet they are lining up to sit in that chair.

That is an assumption falling in the possibility vs probability realm. Without it, your "capabilities" presumption falls flat. That's why it was discounted.

We have seen these scenarios occur over and over again with the same results almost every time...even in Iran.

Why do you think this time it will be different?

You are mentally ill and completely self-absorbed though.

The big ugly picture you have posted dozens of times all over the board says it all.

You’re an a-hole so you seem to have the most important qualification down

From there you appear to be able to (at least try) to bullshite your way through life so I’d apply. You never know you could be “the man” in the chair

That’s a chair anyone would want to occupy right now don’t you think?

That also means they have no ethinic allies to help the fanatics. You allow the gulf states, SA, Quatar, Bahrain, Jordan such forth to handle that end of it. Will it be a gov like ours? Doubtful will it be one that allows Iran to go back to one of the highest standard of living and richest countries in the world that doesnt fund proxy terrorists throughout the region.

Those countries have a bigger reason to want a stable western friendly Iran than even the US does.

Some of that good old American spirit that this country was built on

Well we tried and it didn’t work. Let’s just let Iran go on killing its citizens who want freedom and let them get a nuke and use it.

England would still be taxing the shite outta us if you were “in charge”

It won’t work for long, because Ezekiel 38 says Iran, Russia, Turkey, and a few other small countries will attack Israel.

Iran wasn't built on this, which is the more significant factor wouldn't you think?

Here's the "I don't have a legitimate response, so I'll just appeal to emotion to try to make logical and rational discussion seem absurd" angle.

PsychTiger said it best and most succinctly the other day in my thread about cartels.

You simply have a fundamentally defeatist attitude when it comes to these topics.
