Iran, what do you think?

[toobfreak]

Why is Iran now the target of regime change?

Seriously? That's your question? I mean, regime change in Iran has been the central issue of discussion about the Middle East throughout most of my life and a matter of global concern for all in stabilizing the flow of oil in the Gulf.

We know regime change never results in anything positive for the US.

Now you are rationalizing. What difference does it make whether it results in any gain for the USA? Iran had simply become so dangerous, hostile and belligerent a government basing all of its actions on fanatical religious views, then murdering some 32,000 or more innocent street civilians just for protesting this religious autocracy's oppression, all the while making increasingly threatening tones that they finally wore out their welcome in this world.

It doesn't pay to talk snap when you're not even one oi the bigger dog in the pen.

I, quite naively, thought Trump was serious about putting America first, draining the swamp and eliminating the Satanic pedophiles.

He said he would. He’s old, not looking for a career after his term ends, had nothing to lose. So, yeah. That would have been the time!

Sadly, he’s just another blackmailed Puppet

The best thing is now people are starting to wake up and see how upside down and crooked most of this world is

There is big change coming and it’s NOT the Iranian Regime

You naively think the world can just sing "Cum-bi-a" and we all live peacefully riding unicorns over the rainbows.

Consider repeating K-12, with some extra world history classes, and get passing grades in such, and maybe you'll get a glimpse of reality.

As the saying goes, "All evil needs to succeed is for good men(humans) to do nothing to stop it."
Evil appreciates your support.

Why is Iran now the target of regime change? We know regime change never results in anything positive for the US. In fact, things sometimes get worse. So, Trump’s promise of no more wars was a breath of fresh air for many. It may have been key to getting him back into the White House. So, why is Iran on the block for regime change now?

Well, let’s see, “Death to America” and we want a big bomb along with long-range missiles to attack Israel may have something to do with Trump’s decision. Iran would like nothing better than to destabilize the region and maybe bring about a nuclear standoff with between the US and Russia.

I am against regime change under most circumstances because it seldom works well. I know why Trump is doing what he is doing but I am leery of what could happen. I have not forgotten the 1979 hostage crisis, so this is not new.

What do you think?

Regime change happens all the time.
It's a standard M.O.
Just ask all the communist insurrections that changed governments into the Marxist ideal, how well it works.

Start by realizing that "Iran would like nothing better ..." is the wrong approach, incorrect way to think about the situation. It is the Islamic Fundamentalist Mullahs whose regime is ruling Iran that want "nothing better than to destabilize the region" in order to 'regime change' neighboring nations into Fundamentalist Islamic Jihad with Sharia regimes that Tehran will control.

It is not the majority of the people of Iran who support the desires and agenda of the Mullahs of Tehran.

Sounds like you and some others on this board would approve of that agenda of the Mullahs.
Many others of us don't!

Especially since the Islamic regime of Iran has been making attacks upon the USA, and West (Infidels = non-believers in Islam) ever since coming into control and power in 1979.

Many of us have now said "Enough!"

Trump has heard those pleas and is in the position to lead the efforts to stop now and prevent in the future, the Islamic Jihad agenda of the Mullahs of Tehran.

An agenda that has funded, trained, armed, led, and supported violence and terrorism in the region and around the world. Removing the power and influence of the Mullahs of Tehran will assure more peace in the region by removing the major source of violence by a significant faction of Islamic Jihad.

What is unfolding now is something 1400 years overdue.

It is said, "For Evil to succeed, Good men/humans need do nothing."
No more.
This is the start of significant Something to counter a major source of global Evil.

The OP almost criticized the blob....

This is a day I never thought I’d see.

Regime change instituted by the West never works in the middle east.

It isn't us deciding their future, it will be them deciding with pressure to at least be neutral or not hostile. Why would you whine about that?

They attacked us 47 years ago, and have been killing Americans ever since.

We finally have a president with the balls to destroy them, and I say good riddance.

I have to agree with you.

 

[GLASNOST]

Iran was also a major threat going forward!

No it isn't. Iran is increasing its protection from the real major threat: You

I think he was late you could have struck with what assets you already had in the area and Rushed support for the rioters...

big win for the Iranian people and Trump..

Big sads for the authoritarian Democratic socialists

The Chinese are not pleased either....cherry

No, Iran is burning up in flames. It's not increasing its protection from anyone at the moment.

I wonder what the Iranian folks think.......~S~

I wonder what the Iranian folks think.......~S~

From what I've seen on the internet, looks like most of them, in the country and expats living outside, are happy the mullahs have been diminished and looking forward to a non-theocratic government.

Wow, have you ever seen so many positively defeatist people! Unwilling to even attempt to try to survive against a terrorist country whose sworn mission is to see us crushed? So positively convinced of the futility of even trying that no matter how successful we are, are still utterly convinced of our failure, so why bother even trying?

Or maybe just utterly concerned of another major accomplishment by Trump which makes anything their party has ever done look pitiful in comparison? And of it hurting their chances in the upcoming election so bad that they put the Iranian government's POV ahead of our own or even those of the Iranian and Israeli people?

 

[there4eyeM]

That the U.S. should continue in committing "pre-emptive" war is a stain on its history and its founding principles. The nation has transformed from what it was conceived to be, a bastion of justice and morality, to just another self-serving, Machiavellian state.

Listening to his speech, I don't think Trump will commit ground troops. He essentially was talking to the people of Iran to rise up, that this will be your last chance for positive change, perhaps ever. And I don't think he would have done this had the Iranian regime not murdered some 30 thousand of its own people.

I think he is simply going to weaken them for a couple of weeks of merciless bombing to allow the people to rise up.

And no, I don't think it will work, but at least they will have a new leader to "negotiate" with again, maybe another one that values their life a little more.

I mean really could Iran have been a worse terrorist state? No.

Anyone who the US approves of will not be radical enough for the sons and daughters of the men we just killed.

 

[AlexanderPK]

it seldom works well.

Has it ever?

 

[Godboy]

We know regime change never results in anything positive for the US.

That claim is often repeated by people, but it isnt true. How about Japan, or South Korea? How about Iraq, Venezuela, or even Ukraine? It worked out great in Germany too.
