This whole situation is insane. They try to convince us to attack Iran. Why? When anyone says it's due to Israeli influence on our government, they're labeled antisemitic. Netanyahu has been in our White House 7 times in a calendar year. He's addressed our Congress. It's ludicrous.
Iran has been on the verge of nuclear weapon for 30 years. I thought we destroyed their nuclear capabilities in the great strike last year.
They try to sell us that the Iranian people are being oppressed. So? People are oppressed everywhere but we don't involve ourselves. We are told we will bring democracy to the region (we don't even follow western democratic values here anymore). These people can't handle democracy.
There's no plan. Just like in Iraq. What's going to happen when the regime falls? The refugees will go to Europe and here.
And like any criticism of policy on this board one must express their allegiance to Trump lest be called TDS or a leftist.
I'm sick of the wars. I'm sick of the corruption. I voted Trump every time to clean this stuff. But I'm more confident than ever that they're all compromised.
I'm sick of our leaders being elected on a position and then completely deviating. The whole thing makes me sick as ****.
This probably won't make you feel any better but I think this is largely a culmination of events that landed in Trump's lap, and the opportunity that presented itself was one he simply couldn't pass up. All of this became Trump's version of not letting a crisis go to waste to borrow the Democrat modus operandi.
October 7 is the biggest miscalculation by the Iranians they ever made. That one event was the Butterfly Effect of everything that has happened since. That led to the destruction of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. It led to the destruction of Iran's Air Force and air defenses. It's now led the end of the Ayatollah and ostensibly Iranian terrorist meddling on the global stage.
Throw in the fact that Hezbollah was operating out of VZ in our hemishphere....now also gone in a 1 hour operation that removed Maduro which also eliminated his Cuban security force, while neutralizing Hez in VZ.
Once you put all of it together, it's easy to see and understand why he did it even if you don't agree with it. In addition, the ROI on these events so far is as good as you can get it. No US deaths in either the VZ action nor both Iranian attacks.
And now Cuba's commie leader will fall simply because they are out of resources and we might not even have to do anything with that. But even if we do, it will likely be a slight nudge and then he's gone and someone new that is friendly to us will run it. Maybe Rubio?
What an absolute seismic geopolitical shift in just 3 months without huge costs to us.
