    Do you think Iran is justified in its actions against Israel?

    Fake news. The only thing breaking here is the bottle as he spikes it to the ground and yells "O'Doyle Rules!".

    @astros123

    From what I've seen, my opinion is heavily based on Iranian people wanting change in leadership

    I don't really know one single source that gives a good idea.

    Basically if you watch Al Jazeera, British, French, Russian and Chinese news and cross-check them you'll have a rough idea of what's going on.

    Geoconfirmed on X is best I've found for tracking attacks but it's not been 100%.

    Let's say we reach an effective stalemate, we don't manage to regime change Iran but their missile inventory goes to zero. And for sake of this hypothetical Israel ran out of Interceptors too. Like every one is spent and since it's an air war, no front lines to worry about.

    Do we rebuild those bombed bases across the Gulf or do we give up on our adventures in the Middle East for the forseeable future? Will the Arabs let us stay given we effectively let them absorb the blows to protect Israel?

    What if we do regime change in Iran? Will the Arabs be understanding?

    The issue isn't whether they want change or not but rather do they have any means to accomplish their goal. The IRGC is alot stronger than anything we've faced in the past and they get Intel from the Chinese/Russian. 29% of Iranians claim religion is "very important to them" and will fight to to the death not to install a western puppet. 75% of Iran is covered by mountains ND desert so what exactly is the plan here?

    The best thing wouldve been to get a iron clad nuclear agreement which would've brought more stability than whatever civil war we'll see unleash in the coming months.

    Arabs have no say in it so the bases will be rebuilt for sure by same people who allowed it in the first place.

    Hegseth literally said almost the exact same sh*t a day ago

    As he did yesterday, Hegseth declined to give any timeline for the operation’s end. “We could say four weeks, but it could be six, it could be eight, it could be three. Ultimately, we set the pace and the tempo.”

    it’s like they have a book they whip out full of talking points that they start spewing just with a different name for the latest war they’ve started

    LOL! I've been accused of a lot of things on the board, but never have I ever been confused for a monarchist or imperialist. That's hilarious.

    Oh and no you do not speak Arabic better than me. In fact, I can speak your dialect better than you can speak mine.

    Finally, the totality of your understanding Iran is from visiting an ultra religious family in an ultra religious city. You cannot recognize fake videos about Arab cities. But you want to pretend like you understand these things.

    Happy to stop exchanging messages. Let's keep talking about how you're so mad about Dubai lol

    Can anyone explain what is in this for America? Let's leave aside our religious nuts who wish to be raptured. We will probably spend a couple of trillion on this war that we could spend on health, education and welfare and infra structure which will be needed to remain as strong and happier country. It is just ridiculous to be led around into this war by a small country devoted to genocide and expansion.

    Peter Beinart a prominent recent Jewish apostate from Zionism says he wishes to ask his fellow Jews: "How many millions of Palestinians (or Muslims) would you need to kill before you could feel safe. He thinks the solution is for all who live in Palestine/Israel is to live as equals.

    Beinart is an interesting guy who was raised in South Africa. Like all the whites he grew up assuming they would be massacred if the black majority ever got equality. Beinart has an interesting background to understand the irrational fear of the Israeli Jews. Interesting about only 50% of American Jews support the Israeli/US attack on Iran while 94% of the heavily indoctrinated Israeli Jews do.

    Please have some shame before you post propaganda that you know isn't true. You think China is upset we're removing air defense systems from Asia and moving them to protect Israel? We've wasted more missle interceptors in the past few weeks than what we've made in the past 2 years . China has a raging boner watching us waste our ammunition for Israel.

    Were trading in Taiwan for Israel which is hands down one of the dumbest things anyone can do



    tHe rEgImE wiLl collapse soon!!! Trump promised us!!

    If he were going to pretend it was "King Daddy's," shouldn't it be more like a thin 4-incher?
