    He started this war because he believes you can’t change presidents during a war. It has worked several times for US Presidents to stay for a second term using that as a justification when campaigning. He thinks it’s a legitimate justification for him getting a third term.

    I disagree, I think his own corrupt motivations aside, now is definitely a great time to be attacking Iran and it’s going to be a huge blow to adversarial nations like China and Russia.

    I just hope that the inheritors of the region choose democracy in the long run.

    That said, Congress should pass a war powers resolution to keep US Soldiers off Iranian soil.

        Iran are the reason Hamas was able and willing to attack the music festival and reignite the war resulting in Palestinian Genocide. To Iran, Palestinians are nothing. Hell, to the Iranian despots, Iranians are nothing. When the nation started dying of thirst and hunger, they moved out of the capital.

          Israel is the only responsible for all palestinians retaliation to occupation, genocide and settler colonialism. You defend that terrorist state who already talk about expenfing it’s border. You know very well that a genocidal state will kill 1000 times more innocent iranians thsn the regime

          You should have some shame, genocide supporteer. You would side with slave owners over Nat turner if you was alive during that time

        To be clear, the civil war in Iran is happening with or without US Support. It’s the consequences of Ayatollah’s shit leadership and failure to adapt. As are its hostilities with the USA and Israel. This isn’t the “fuck around” phase, it’s the “find out” phase.

        Now, as a consequentialist, I think it’s prudent to figure out what brings the best most immediate end to all of this. I think that’s supporting the Iranian revolutionaries with everything we have to offer.

          There’s no world where an independent Iran isn’t hostile to the US and Israel; they’re too much of a threat to US-Israeli regional hegemony.

          I think that’s supporting the Iranian revolutionaries with everything we have to offer.

          Because that worked so well in Afghanistan.

            There are already worlds where Egypt and Jordan are on non-enemy terms with USA, though with Israel is questionable because that requires a hypothetical world where Iran never funneled weapons and money to extremists in Palestine and whether or not that had any impact on Israel’s actions and therefor international relationships, but the point being:

            Iran only dug its own grave by allowing autocracy and allying with other autocrats.

              Because they’re run by pro-American dictatorships (more complex in Jordan’s case tbf) bought off by American money, which only proves my point. Both Egypt and Jordan are American vassal states and not independent in any real sense of the word.

                lmao

                Egypt and Jordan being run by America is a new one.

                You realize POTUS Obama criticized the Egypt leadership in 2013 for using force against their opposition the Muslim Brotherhood, suspending joint military cooperation? Things haven’t really gotten much better since then, either, but the EU have stepped up with a cooperation agreement in 2024.

                I’m not even going to address the absurdity of claiming Jordan is a US Puppet.

            It’s not even prudent to bomb Tehran, since Ayatollah isn’t there.

            That’s a prime example of why we need the War Powers resolution and for Congress to run the show not the POTUS.
