For those who don't want to US to get involved

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You think the mullahs would relinquish power without outside military force?

Of course not. Regime change should not be our goal.

 

[pknopp]

Did you say the same when Biden went in to help Ukraine? To leave Russia alone?

Yep. Look it up.

 

[Hellokitty]

Trying to force regime change does not work well.

Agree, unfortunately the reality is that's what's gonna happen. Either the US has a bigger influence or China will.

 

[Oddball]

Where is a shred of evidence that they would not?

You don't prove negatives, Corky.

 

[martybegan]

Iran wouldn't be threatening the US if we would just leave them alone. Iran doesn't seem to be threatening Japan or Australia.

if those pesky Israelis would just jump into the Sea Iran would play nice.

LOL

 

[martybegan]

Didn't they say the same thing over 10 years ago?

We have 30-40,000 Americans, military and civilian living in the region that are at high risk of being attacked and killed...if we get involved.

Why can't Israel handle this Iranean threat to them alone?

Looks like they can???

They are, but it we have a shot of letting the Iranians themselves get rid of their current government, we should stand ready to help them when they help themselves.

Regardless of how close you think Iran is to obtaining nukes, weeks/months/years, the reality is they are working towards becoming a nuclear threat.
Iran is threatening to attack the US should we get involved in the bombing.

How much more would such a threat hold if Iran had nukes?

Oh please.

Go panic elsewhere honey.

Take a pill or two and maybe a really stiff drink

But, but, but Israel...

Israel can do whatever it wants.

 

[martybegan]

Israel can do whatever it wants.

And if they can bring Iran's theocracy down to needing just one good shove to go under, I say we shove.

 

[Rawley]

How have we not "left them alone" for the past 5 decades?

 

[Oddball]

Not likely.

But it would also help if the Likuds didn't help create their enemies, like they did with Ham-ass.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You don't prove negatives, Corky.

You can't prove anything, dumbass!

 

[buckeye]

Yep. Look it up.

Are you saying I shouldn't trust your word?

 

[pknopp]

Are you saying I shouldn't trust your word?

Up to you.

 

[Godboy]

Didn't they say the same thing over 10 years ago?

They assassinated a bunch of their scientists and uploaded the Stuxnet hack that crippled their reactor and set them back years.

Yes, Iran keeps getting close, then Israel ***** them up and it takes years for them to recover. This game has gotten old. Time to end it once and for all.

 

[irosie91]

What troops are in Ukraine? Who is going to attack any US troops re. Ukraine?

Iran already attacked the US----via its puppet HOUTHIS----just grin and bear it

 

[irosie91]

Of course not. Regime change should not be our goal.

getting rid of the bad guys is a laudable goal

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

getting rid of the bad guys is a laudable goal

But not our responsibility. Take a bully's stick away from him.

Bad guys with big assets can always get another stick
