SO what's actually happened? The US and israel spent hundreds of millions, if not billions... to make an oppressed population rally around a hated regime and make some glass in the desert.
Iran. Nuff said.
- Thread starter Nevermore
- Start date
What happened is Israel finally found someone dumb enough to co-sign their long-desired regime change in Iran. And they're not letting Trump off the hook now.
How Netanyahu Pushed Trump to Back Strikes on Iran
With dramatic appeals amid failed nuclear negotiations, Bibi laid the groundwork for Trump to back a war with Iran

If he's remotely as smart as he thinks he is (or just has the guts), he'll tell Bibi to eat a dick next time he comes asking for more.

Trump's Bombing Probably Set Iran's Nuclear Program Back By Mere Months, Report Says
The White House issued a snarky comment saying the early assessment was leaked by an "anonymous, low-level loser."www.huffpost.com
Yep...set it back to April....of this year.
Ironbite-GOD HE'S SUCH A GREAT MILITARY TACTICIAN!
What do you think that would do besides make his base love him more because in their eyes he made it acceptable to say in public again?
Let’s be honest: there's no chance of a lasting ceasefire now. Iran just got bombed without having a bomb, yet managed to save over 800 pounds of enriched uranium in the process. Now they’ve got both the material and the motive. The message they've been given is clear: not having nukes didn’t protect them. So why not finish the job?

And that’s exactly the kind of outcome Israel wants. As long as Iran might go nuclear, they can keep pressuring the US to play along with their regime change fantasy. We just handed them a justification that can be recycled indefinitely.
You don't de-escalate after that. You bunker down, and you plan for what comes next.
Iran's enriched uranium is missing—Nuclear watchdog IAEA
The nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Mariano Grossi told Fox News there was "no information" about the material's whereabouts.

It's quite amazing how the trump regime always manages to set up the worst possible outcomes. It's almost like they're actively undermining the country to cause it to fail.
It's the perfect loop. No accountability, no peace, just endless justification for regime change dressed up as self-defense.

Anyone else notice that Trump didn't just let Iran strike our base? He actually coordinated the timing with them.
His exact words: "They said, 'We're going to shoot them. Is one o’clock okay?' I said it’s fine."
This wasn't de-escalation. This was a POTUS giving a green light for a foreign adversary to launch missiles at American troops, as long as it was convenient.
Imagine Biden saying that. The right would call it treason and demand impeachment before the press conference ended. But since it's Trump, they clap like trained circus seals.
Let's be clear: he enabled the strike, bragged about it on live TV and left Americans in harm's way. Gunners were still on base. Equipment destroyed. The "America First" guy let Iran blow up American assets so he could look like a dealmaker.
That's not strength. That's cowardice in a cheap suit.

Can't wait until this is America!Iran plunged into internet blackout as protests over economy spread nationwide

Wish that would happen here too. I also hope the Iranians can finally shake free of their authoritarian theocracy. The economy in the US isn't quite bad enough yet for people to rise up enough to put an end to the Trump regime, though.
I read it as a sarcastic "I can't wait until our government shuts down our entire internet too."
Granted, if they did do that, there would be a full-blown revolution, because it would leave probably the majority of the country unable to do their jobs or buy essential goods. I wonder if countries like Iran are better able to cope with that sort of thing because they're less dependent on modern technology.

More likely size and scale: in iran, you can drive to the country next door and get stuff if you needed to. Can't really do that in the US unless you're near either the canadian or mexican border. Doesn't really do you any good to pop over to the state next door if they're in the same or worse condition.
