Death to all brown people... Oh you mean in war? No body knows.

The goal of the war? Establishing Greater Israel. Netanyahu is really keen on the neighbor's land. Trump is just there as the muscle, barely know what's going on and just acts tough to protect his reputation with his flunkies.

7

Permanent distraction from the fact that Trump trafficked and raped dozens of young girls with Jeffrey Epstein. That's the entire goal.

Israel forced Trump into this war because they have that proof of him raping children hanging over his head. Israel is just your standard genocidal imperialistic religious fanatical fascist regime that views any Muslims as "animals" or "subhumans" (their own words).

Ya because that's how deals work... The fact that one took years and thousands of experts from all over the world to broker is testimony to how dumb this notion that Iran doesn't have the right get something back in negotiations is laughable. Also inserting that they don't have the right to self determination via self defense is also insulting to everyone involved.

It's insulting not to want a bunch of murdering religious nutjobs to have nukes?

Maybe they should free their people before I'll entertain the thought that they have 'the right' to such horrible weapons

Also wanted to add the Obama deal prevented them from getting nukes. You know how I know that? I read the fucking reports from the international inspectors. Iran passed every search and were complying with the deal. Trump threw it out and started bombing again. Not Iran. Where are you getting your news?! Seriously. You are either willfully ignorant or a troll.

3

So, who should have nukes? Just America and their allies? Every country has seen that as soon as they lose nuclear capability they crumble from imperialism, so why would they give up their weapons?

Ideally Iran or NK or Russia (or America) wouldn't have nuclear weapons, but that's not reality.

We're the religious nut jobs dude. (and Isreal) Free their people? Who has more imprisoned citizens? Iran or America? Do you have any idea how Iran's nut jobs can to power? We are making the same fucking mistakes we did 100 years ago. Also, only one nation has used nukes in violence. Acting as if we have the moral high ground here is alarming.

Are you taking about Israel?

Because the Ayatollah had a fatwa against nukes, which is the sole reason it didn't have one.

Circling back after Trump just sent billions to Iran with no nuclear guarantees. Iran has control over the straight. Israel's polling all time lows in the US.

No.

Iran is a civilization with political factions and a robust political system.

The faction that thought nukes would be stabilizing for the region (and time is showing that they were correct) wanted to be able to have nukes very quickly should the Ayatollah change his mind.

Your understanding of Iran is basically just spoon fed propaganda with no critical thought. Go comment on things you actually know anything about.

1

The Iranian government basically murdered or tortured into submission any other political factions. The only 'factions' you see are subsets of the shia extremist faction. Sure, nukes would 'stabilize' their rule but its funnysad that you would try to present that as something preferable for those oppressed by it

"If I conquer Canada and squash their resistance without issue, then I will guarantee every unemployed person in the country a $200k/yr job."

Trump keeps pointing to “their navy is gone their air force is gone” as proof the US is winning.

Years ago Iran evaluated what kind of a war they might face, and determined that their best shot was through massive amounts of ballistic missiles, drones, and small watercraft. This meant significantly de-prioritizing a traditional air force and navy. So yeah, they don’t have really any capital ships or fighter jets, but they never had much of those in the first place and haven’t been prioritizing that part of their military. But their missile and drone stocks - to say nothing of actual soldiers in their army btw - are all still doing pretty great actually. Destroyers and interceptor jets aren’t going to win the war for Iran and that was never their plan anyway.

The US is absolutely NOT winning this war, and they will not be able win this war.

Trump keeps pointing to “their navy is gone their air force is gone” as proof the US is winning.

There navy is gone, except for the armada of speed boats running mid-range recon and planting sea mines and launching drones.

Their leadership is all assassinated, except for the people currently in command.

We're winning! We're winning! We're just a little behind as time is running out.

The US is absolutely NOT winning this war

We've spent a quarter trillion dollars to destroy over a trillion dollars in Iranian infrastructure and massacre an innumerable count of their civilian population. If this is a war of genocide, we're winning. At least in so far as they're dying in far higher volumes than us.

The political method is basically dead on arrival since the courts are captured, the Republicans are in favor of him, and the Democrats don't have enough will to actually do anything outside of maybe a hundred people across Congress.

I think America is too big and too stratified, it is no longer possible for young and interested people to guide the nation. Only aging people with great wealth can ever have a shot at control, and their beliefs are extremely dated by default. Also, our founding document is about 250 years of age, and wasn't built for a coast-to-coast nation of high technology. There weren't many democracies nor republics to model our society after, so we didn't have much foreknowledge of the pitfalls that could happen.

Sheer inertia of belief, wealth, and flawed design, underpin America's problems. Franklin Roosevelt delayed the destruction of the America we knew, and our modern political critters have squandered the opportunity to save the ship.
