The only way we come out in any way ahead is if we change it up. Start undermining their regime until it collapses and/or the people toss them out. Which won't happen if we continue going kinetic on them.

Wouldn't we, UK, and Israel have been doing that since Christ ws in diapers?

We (USA) sort of suck at it...heck it took us a few years to learn in Iraq - if you get invited into someone's home and offered tea-----even if you are fatally allergic to tea---drink the god damn tea. We are rather culturally ignorant and those of us who might be somewhat informed think "Europe" is the world.

Hopefully we're close to that. Hopefully more bombs weaken the regime and the dissidents take over though we usually pick the wrong side lol.

All I care about is American soldiers and Iranian civilians stop dying for this.

Beyond that? I feel America is totally safe if Iran get a few nukes.

Europe? I want them soiling themselves for the rest of time.
