Sounds like we struck a deal with one person in Iran. Then the IRGC will break the deal they never agree to and a second war will start and the 60 day clock is rest to zero and a technically different war will begin.

Its almost like they are dims in disguise.... almost. Nah, that would be crazier than republican voting against what they want.

The practical indicator won’t be economic collapse, it will be something humanitarian like plague or starvation. The real question is whether the US has the stomach to accept the optics of laying siege and starving a nation into surrender, like the Israelis are doing in Gaza? It seems apparent the IRGC doesn’t think it will.

I don't think it will be economic collapse or humanitarian disaster.

It will be to bring down morale of the foot soldiers when they aren't being paid or paid very little. Then the rebels will be release to us guerilla warfare attacks against the IRGC directly. Sniping them at check points, strafing them with drive bys anytime they are spotted out in public. Even direct attacks by large groups on their buildings when they are weak and the insurgency is swelling in power.

Desertions will become the norm and the regime will soon topple.

So it will be by force. Not by economics alone and certainly not by starving the county to death which would basically be eating at them from the innocent up towards the worst actors last.

Are you confusing Thune with a republican?

How does this happen?

It happens when you elect people to destroy the country you live in.

People think these leaders have regret, when this is exactly the outcome they were looking for.

Stop being perplexed when leaders do something that is so unbelievably stupid for someone to do IF they want what is best.

So we don't have freedom of speech!!!!

I’m sure there’s a lot of feel good Facebook profiles too.

It crazy to think anyone is going to risk everything to rise up, and then as soon as they succeed they will invite some bougey remnant of the past who’s lived a peaceful and anonymous life in the US to return and step in to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Facebook profiles? No I am talking about the people in Iran waving actual flags at the risk of death.

47 years is not even close to "as soon as". Your dismissive attitude about buyers remorse being possible is comical. Are you familiar with Cuba? Are you familiar with NYC?

So, the tens of thousands of people killed by the IRGC were not real??? Your think they were pro Islam?

The only thing accurate in your post is that Pahlavi has been living in exile in the US.

I think that is why US and Israel were trying to get a former president to lead the coup much like Delcy in Venezuela. They wanted a coup among the elites and middle class that could be negotiated on more "bourgeois" understandings than "proletarian" ones.

The people are crying for the crown prince. And the crown prince would be an friend to the US without any desire for nukes. The people that will do the revolting are going to determine the next ruler and that have already spoken on who that will be. Anything else will be a misstep by the USA.

And if that does happen, you just know he'll say that was his plan all along

It was the plan all along. I was calling it in here from early in the war. And then after the fact we find out that the Kurds screwed it all up. Therefore the delay is longer than was planned. Probably lost two weeks.

This negotiations and delay bullshite is the dumbest thing I have seen Trump do since supporting the jab. Irans response to negotiations is the same exact thing everytime. It’s past time to take out more IRGC members.

---

That is what he has been doing in my opinion. Working hard on taking out the IRGC. Hope I am right.

From the beginning I have said the goal was to NEVER send in military personnel like is going on in Ukraine. The goal is to have the Iranians do it.

A month ago I said I was surprised the Iranian military hadn't already started fighting the IRGC. Now it might finally have started. Militia in the Southeast and the soon the kurds in the Northwest will start picking off the IRGC. The regular military will at some point do the same. It will start slow, gain momentum which will cause the IRGC to abandon their post.

All of this negotiation talk is and always has been pointless. Pointless if you thing the were going to surrender or pointless if you think they are going to remain in power.

Trump knows this but is simply buying time for air defense of our allies and preparation's inside of Iran (arms/demoralize the enemy).

What has happened over the last month. Iran has greatly reduced their attacks on surrounding countries. Had we keep bombing that wouldn't have happened. More allied lives would be lost. More damage to oil production in the ME which would keep oil prices high for at least a couple of years.

Like I keep saying. Stop listening to what they say. We are at war and telling the truth for leaders is often counter productive.
