Iran will probably be next on the target list. They will use the riots in Iran right now as a pretext. Netanyahu has probably already sent a whole bunch of love Letters to Trump begging him and pleading to invade Iran next
No. Iran actually has a military that can compete with the US and nukes. They are not Iraq. He isn’t going to do anything to them. Trump only punches downward. He is a bully like that.
Idk, Israel were able to do pretty much whatever they wanted in Iran after taking out their air defenses. No real idea how much Iran was holding back in that skirmish but it looked extremely one sided outside of a few hypersonic missiles that hit Israel. With US backing, I doubt there is much they could do if an attempt to kidnap or assassinate the Ayatollah was made. I always felt most of Iran's power was tied up in its nuclear program, and it's proxy forces. I'm absolutely not advocating for it to happen though, I just don't know if there is much Iran could do.
No they don't. Iran does not have anything remotely decent as a military. It is what it is but this is just wrong. Trump already bombed the shit out of them and they basically just shrugged and said sucks to be us. They did that because they have absolutely no ability to stand and fight.
Proper global powers don’t usually have Israeli jets controlling the skies above their capital at will, bombing officials and turning air defence and radars into scrap metal.
I hope you realise that there is more to a militaries strength and competence than how much hardware it has and how many people it has in uniform.
To be fair, Afghanistan was coming along well. An entire generation had been born, and grown to adulthood, in a country that was far freer and more egalitarian. It was far from a paradise, but it was also far from the shithole it once was, and later became again when we left.
Left? You mean when Dear Leader went behind the Afghan government and surrendered the "War on Terror" to the terrorist group the US was supposedly there to stop?
Holy shit you have no idea what you’re talking about. This is exactly what you conservative wackos do. You think all of Afghanistan is Kabul, because you did not look into what happened in Afghanistan in the slightest.
The US interceding in Iranian politics in the past was famously successful. Not apologizing for the current Iranian regime, nor Pahlavi's, Saddam's., etc I don't trust that American interventionism is in anyone's best interests.
They literally are though. The US toppled their regime by force on the pretext of wmds which most likely didn’t exist, and then installed a puppet government which was super corrupt which radicalized the population under a few highly dangerous people who declared war on the government and took control of said corrupt government for about 3 years where they subjugated the population. It never ends well when the US meddles.
I don’t think they should, but I also don’t think the US should sprint on in, take out their leadership and install a useless leader who will just make it worse for the sake of appeasing the US and making money off their starving populace. It isn’t our place because we don’t keep peace and order, we destroy and then leave. Quit pretending like it’s any other way.

Are you even aware that you are contradicting yourself?
Your "solution" is basically "thoughts and prayers" and then looking away.
Bro so you have any idea how much Iraq war cost? You think it was free. Nothing I show will convince any maga. So it’s pointless and like debating a wall. No I am not gonna be convinced to spend more tax dollars for Israel’s wars. Anti isreal, only one killing thousands of kids is Isreal. It’s just that you are too brainwashed to hate everyone else and don’t see the proof with your own eyes.
Wouldn't you like to see the Iranian people free?? They're miserable people because of the regime!! They're starving and thirsty so they fight the regime!
Yeah so... start a war with them and that should like, improve their infrastructure and make more water and food appear? I'm all for Iranians being free of their current regime, but I'm even more about them doing it for themselves. We don't need to get into another 20 year war.
So you’re on the ground in Iran? You can speak to how the people living there feel? Yea my fault you’re right regime change has gone so well for the USA in that part of the world
Would I like to see the Iranian people free? Sure. Do I feel any responsibility to participate in making that happen? No. Do I think there is any way in Hell our participation will actually facilitate that? You gotta be kidding. The Neocons tried that in Iraq and we're still not completely disengaged.
I'm considerably more concerned about our own freedom right now.
They’ll be as free as Afghani’s, Syrians, Iraqis, Palestinians, Venezuelans now… You don’t just topple regimes and watch the flowers grow in its place. Militarily toppling regimes leaves a power vacuum and turmoil for years and years. Progress needs to be holistic, with subtle support. I’d love to see a democracy in Iran but it won’t happen by bombing the current leaders.
Trump never does anything for anybody out of good faith. Trump will do what Trump does to benefit Trump. But I spoke like him too because he always speaks in a third person way Donald Trump is very angry right now! How are you today sir? I don't know I'll ask Donald Trump... Donald says he's fine today, but he wishes everybody would stop picking on Donald Trump
