To say that Iran was going to bomb every American city is so far beyond hyperbole its ridiculous.

Find a boomercon on Facebook. My sample, even in the pro-Trump after the Nuclear site strike, is 100% negative. Maybe DailyWire in general?

A super liberal boomer, 100% blue democrat, Army colonel I know is pro Iran war and he hates Trump on everything else.

I didn't say the regime has been defeated. But of the religious fanatics who are now dead, THEY have been defeated, and there are many, many Iranians and otherwise who are celebrating it.

And I claimed that it seems you are resistant to other points outside of your echo chamber. But you argued that's because I'm not familiar with the "sources" you read and hear. But yet you seem confident in claimin "many of you" on tww are in echo chamber, while you don't know the "sources" they read and hear. (and you've given a pretty good idea of your "sources" with the links and videos you frequently share.)

Yeah there are many questions but that’s for the experts to figure out, or possibly a drunk Fox News host using Claude ai

Quote :
" The senior clerics responsible for selecting Iran’s next supreme leader met on Tuesday to deliberate, and the son of the slain former leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, emerged as the clear front-runner, according to Iranian officials familiar with the deliberations.
"


https://nyti.ms/4rUZnbY

Could be disinformation but allegedly Iran is a week away from overwhelming the interceptor network

Quote :
" Speaking to the press on Monday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran is able to churn out many more offensive weapons than the US and its allies can build interceptors to stop them.

“They are producing, by some estimates, over 100 of these missiles a month. Compare that to the six or seven interceptors that can be built a month,” Rubio said.

“They can build 100 of these a month, not to mention the thousands of one-way attack drones that they also have. They’ve been doing this for a very long time. And by the way, they’ve been doing it under sanctions.”

I mean the US is signaling that they're potentially willing to continue negotiating with the new regime (like we're doing with Venezuela), so why would any Iranian or other resistance trust US support?

Sounds like they are very focused on freedom and democracy for the Iranian people

Quote :
"The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force, and space force.
thats 200 complaints since saturday.

One complainant, identified as a noncommissioned officer (NCO) in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran, told MRFF in a complaint viewed by the Guardian that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’”, the NCO added.

Surprised Europe is being so chill about this overall considering it’s possibly another wave of refugees. Iranians are more educated than most other countries in the region but can’t imagine they want more brown people coming (although a lot of Iranians are white passing or just don’t consider themselves brown).

We already lost ~2B worth of military assets, and that's not including ordinance expended or interceptors.

At least now he can’t claim that we have the cheapest gas in the history of gas.

I for one am not for this conflict. He says he had to act without congressional approval because of the timing of the meeting that took out the Iranian officials. Israel could have 100% handled that themselves, then he could have gone to congress for approval.

I get that Obama struck middle eastern targets while not having approval from congress, but his very limited strikes didn’t cause a nation-state to attack pretty much every other country within striking distance. And I’m pretty sure he didn’t bomb any schools on accident.

Somebody needs to be held accountable for that school. Am I off base here?

We’ll claim it was Israel, and they will claim it was us. And they’ll both claim it was Iran.

But someone needs to go to jail for it. I don’t care if it was a “whoops”. Killing innocent children based on bad intel is still killing innocent children.

I’m trying to imagine being an Iranian…

What if on Jan 6th as maga was storming the capital to stop votes, Canadian pro-maga forces bombed Biden HQ and democratic state congresses and the homes of democratic senators… this might spin up a pretense of Trump being the president but it would be a decade or more of insurgency until either pro-democracy militias were wiped out or prevailed. And at that point if they prevailed they would likely be totalitarian anti-maga with maybe the ideal on the horizon of a functioning democracy someday. There would be no world where just some bombs convinced pro-Biden forces to step back and it would be business as usual. If pro-democracy forces were wiped out then maga could return to Constitutional order as a show of legitimacy.

So the only future for Iran now looks like a brutal civil war where the IRGC and sympathizers are completely wiped out. The other option is IRGC remains in control but that doesn’t seem acceptable to Netanyahu, and they wouldn’t be negotiating anymore.

I was wondering why more hasn’t been made of us sinking a ship via submarine. That’s pretty extraordinary if you ask me….and not in a good way.

But at this point, we have to finish what we’ve started. The IRCG has got to go, otherwise they keep control and it’s business as usual in Iran. Perhaps some of the IRCG are even more radical than the Ayatollah.
