I hope you're correct.

Unfortunately I don't think regime change will be this easy. If there was ever a time in my life I would want to be proven wrong it's now.

I disagree.
Bombing the bridges tells the Iranian people that the IRGC is not in charge. That they are not protectors. That they are weak.
The goal is to weaken the regime economically and to their morale so that a resistance spots an opening and grabs it (resistance will have to be military. It will have to be a coup).

He knows we would end up having to pay to rebuild the infrastructure and could in the short term cause unrest amount those we are trying to liberate


Iran will pay for the infrastructure repairs. Full dollar for oil is a huge windfall for the economy.
Most people want a job and to raise their families. When the IRGC is the only option, they enlist there too. Show the weakness politically, militarily, and socially, and you will get a coup. The coup gets a say in restarting the new government.

He should just be honest and say we are about changing the blood thirsty and immoral regime. The world economy is in the balance.

I dont think we are. That is a side bonus.
Freedom isn't free. The Persians are going to have to take it from their captors. We can supply air support. Recon. But they are going to have to take it.

You people are being naive again.

Its not about freedom for the iranian people. Its about a government that we can control.

Think Venezuela.

Trump is worried about one thing. $100 oil....or more.

He's going to focus everything on the strait.

This is about China.

A government that we can control?
Absolutely.
We are crippling all of China's greatest allies.

If we avoid a war with China in 2027/2028, then Trump's second term is a success.

frick trump. He campaigned on new new wars, no dead soldiers. Thanks for your powerful. Insightful. And well thought out post. We have never heard that line of thinking here at this site Your country owes you a debt for your service


He’s giving a big FU to all his voters, many of whom continue to blindly support him. Debt is growing at its fastest pace ever and America is not being but first. Meanwhile, everything keeps getting more expensive.

I think Trump should bomb the bridges and the plants if they don’t make a deal. A few at a time, everyday, until they capitulate.

It took 2 nukes to get the Japanese to surrender in WW2. We bombed one city and that didn't convince them. We had to bomb another to make them throw in the towel.

I fully expect Trump to take some out on Tuesday to show he is serious.
