To bring the Iran problem to an end is relatively simple....

Americans today could never handle being responsible for Dresden or Tokyo.

Inability to see the forest for the trees

Sounds like winning hearts and minds. I’m on record that we should never enter a war if we don’t intend to wreck shite. This playing nice, persevering infrastructure for the people is just BS, and NEVER works in our favor, NEVER. Our Government is a bunch of leeches on both sides, and I never trust them to do the right thing; just too many cooks in the kitchen

Destroy (bomb) any means of transportation (railroads, bridges, and highways)), their ability to generate power (power plants of all types), and all the major means of supplying food for the population......then step back and let it all collapse.

Iran is pretty big.




Bombs are pretty expensive.

Are you saying if Russia comes over here and wrecks shite up, you're going to accept them and whatever they say you need to do with open arms?

I guess we are different.

If we were to destroy all of that infrastructure Iran would need a lot of workers to rebuild. We happen to have an excess supply of illegals who work in construction jobs. Let supply meet demand by deporting the illegals here to Iran. If they don’t want to go to Iran, they can instead return to their home countries. Either way, US profits.

Tha, F’ck. I have a Billy Madison response to this

Sorry, I just got the impression that is what you meant since that is what you think Iranian people would do.

I think they would likely have the same response I would if some other nation attacked me. Which would be frick Russia and I'd resist them until the day I died.

It seems crazy to me that we would expect the Iranian people to be different. I think the more we attack them...the more they are going to hate us, the more they are going to resist, and the more extreme people they will support. It's human nature. Maybe we should take that into account and treat them as humans.

I was thinking yesterday along the same lines and came up with the idea of blowing up electrical transmission stuff like transformers. Then when you see large power usages on IR heat scans then you will likely know what is military.

Without elec you cant pump gas,oil, etc and I would suspect this would greatly dissipate their ability to shoot at stuff in the SOH.

American politicians couldn’t handle blowing up ports, infrastructure, dikes, roads and bridges in North Vietnam in the late 1960’s which would have ended the war in a hurry and would have saved thousands of American lives.

If the politicians in DC are dictating strategy and tactics to our military planning, logistics, and execution, then we’re just repeating stupid mistakes of the past.

Seize Kharg Island, shut down Iran’s oil industry and let them suffer the consequences if you wish to bring them to heel.

Makes me think of the song "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden
