Maybe you haven't come right out to say it, but some of you have said we just need to bomb them and the Iranian people will take over. Naive and ignorant, really, actually plain idiotic. This is going to be a mess extending for years with untold consequences.

(69,085 posts)That's a polite legal way of saying "put up or shut up."
But I would never say that.
And good egening.

(17,962 posts)supporting this war, and for the record, the post is from 2/19/2026.
All he did was say that this is the way wars are conducted, taking out the leadership and the command and control facilities which I happen to agree with also, I'm not saying I support this insane, illegal war, but taking out those entities is SOP.

(5,019 posts)Unless someone puts boots on the ground in Iran and secures the Iranian's enriched uranium, if this is anything really about stopping them (or someone they give the uranium to) from getting a dirty bomb, this is just target practice. Even if they take out all the heavy weapons, missiles, gun boats, etc., the only folks with any weapons will still be the Revolutionary Guard and internal security forces. Maybe they will say enough and we can try some government approach that is less top down and theocratic but human nature when they have power of any sort makes that pretty unlikely.

(3,450 posts)Correct ignorant as to how Iranian governance is structured; its compartmentalized, power and authority are spread over many government entities and private sector interests.
This illegal, unwarranted war is the consequence of the Trump regimes ignorance of Iran.

They squandered my goodwill.
They don't need our help. They have weapons, healthcare, and on average, have a better standard of living than Americans.

(12,590 posts)Will take out pedo Trump when you wrote "Iranian people will take over". You meant that some people thought Iranian citizens would take back their government, like the American citizens should......
What I have been thinking is that the only people who successfully attacked us in the states were from the middle east. And one way drones can be used by most every country.
Venezuela is only about a 13 hour flight and 1,330 miles from Miami. Let's hope the disaffected Venezuelans don't team up with Iran.
But maybe by then pedo Trump will have bombed Minneapolis and Cuba. Creating more and vastly closer enemies.

(23,949 posts)No one here supports Trump. No one supports how this war is being executed with bombing innocents.
However, if there was a way to depose the leadership there and help the people rise up and take control, Id be in favor of it. I also think thats very very unlikely, especially after what were seeing with hospitals and schools being bombed.
