My mother in law in Tehran was able to call us from her landline this week. Landlines are assumed to be monitored by the Islamist occupiers of Iran, so we stuck to pleasantries and talking about her future grandson (doodle tala). The Iranian diaspora is getting frustrated with the President. I am hopeful that Trump will take decisive action soon, and that it will be a highly effective action. I am generally considered a CM or something left of that on this board, but I fully support the President on this topic and understand no other president would be able to pull off bringing hope and freedom to the people of occupied Iran.


Without an actual Civil War, it won't matter the Islamist overlords are not going to disappear. The fundamentalist country folk will not allow it.

What percent of the population do the Islamic occupiers and their supporters make up? I would think once the IRGC is gone it would be more of a police action than a civil war to deal with these people

I hate what the Iranian regime is and what they do. But are we going to come to the rescue of every oppressed citizenry? When do we go into Eritrea?

When Eritrea becomes the # 1 state sponsor of terrorism in the world (by far) and directly tries to assassinate political figures in the US, we should consider it. But until then, we should take opportunities to create positive regime change in terrorist sponsoring countries that are actively trying to obtain nuclear weapons capabilities.

Is the Eritrean regime responsible for destabilizing an entire region of the world?

Imo it has to do with the mindset of a specific person that has personal reasons for wanting the Iranian regime to end. I'm done with it now . Will honor your request . You're probably right. It may have caused a derail.

That's not whataboutism. That's a fact. You can deflect by raising whataboutism, but it's a nonsense argument.

Yes but that Iraqis are a very different people with a very different history than Iran. Iran has plenty of people still alive who remember a different system and can possibly live in a secular constitutional monarchy or republic.

Islam destabilized the region long ago.

You can't destabilize a destabilized area.

Pretty weird to sign your own death warrant.

Can we get some new cameras in Tehran? I want to watch this in 4k while placing prop bets on bovada.

The ships are great, but I really hope there are insertion teams ready to go. Whether that be ours, or Mossad.

The mullahs need to be taken out once and for all.

Turbans need to hit the floor.

I do admit my personal bias in support of the President's assertive policy in Iran. But I believe an assertive policy stance is in the interest of any man who believes in applying one's doodle in the most productive and passionate manner possible. I mean we have our sons to think about here. Think of the future study abroad "opportunities" in Iran, where their chess players, their CHESS PLAYERS, look like this…

Flight school buddy of mine commands one of the fighter squadrons on Lincoln. Would like to hear his take after if anything goes down.

several podcasts last night:

showing the tracks on FlightRadar of a CMV-22B Osprey from Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 50/30

for some reason it had it's transponder on when it flew into Qatar and then back out again into the gulf.

so now we know where the Lincoln was yesterday.

Would be nice if he was considering leaving for Russia, but he's probably considering killing all of the jailed protestors now or later.

Would think Turkey or France would be the likely exile for the the very high ups. The rest will be scattered in the Middle East.

Better option is to kill them all. Else, they will hang out in areas of Iraq, Syria, stans, etc until there is an opportunity to grab power back.

Extermination is best.

The obvious answer is Moscow, as Beijing doesn't like housing defeated foreign leaders in exile, and Putin just charges a market rate.

While Paris would have been possible during a Democrat presidency, I don't think Macron wants to deal with this with Trump, nor the Swiss. The optics for Air France would just be…too bad.

Edit: making 'unreasonable' demands at this point is also a way to stimulate communications (including evacuation plans) on their side, which of course we (and the Israeli's) are monitoring closely.

I could see Trump letting the very top ayatollahs have a more comfortable exile.

Is Russia known to house exiles? I honestly dont know, haven't looked into it.

Of course the more they explode the heads of protestors via snipers then not sure hardly anyone will take them.

They have the headwear for it.

Send them up there with a herd of swine and wish them well.

Virgin swine of course. They have needs and such.

Housing one white dude to piss off the Americans is a bit different than taking in Muslim clerics and their entourage.
