The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Best case: The Iranian people overthrow the Mullahs and establish any kind of other government.
Worst case: The Mullahs stay in charge.

Worst part of the best case? The new government isn't super friendly to the US (unlikely)."
- Dumbass Dope

You think that if the Mullahs get overthrown, the new government would be friendly to the U.S.? That is insane.

The Iranian people do not like the U.S. Period, full stop. They might not like be led by the Mullahs, but they do not like the U.S. either.

Continually bombing them isn't helping their opinion of the U.S. Right now our bombs are killing hundreds of innocent civilians (as well the Mullahs). People do not like countries who drop bombs on their friends and families.

Let's invert this. It is obvious I hate that Donald Trump is the President of the U.S. I think he is destroying everything that made America great and is making America a worse place for its citizens. Yet, if Denmark dropped a bomb on the White House and killed Trump, I would not suddenly like Denmark. I would hate that they are attacking America and destroying American institutions. Especially if they killed a busload of schoolchildren just outside of the White House while doing it.

To think any government coming from the Iranian people will be friendly to the U.S. is delusional.
