Yeah, like they attacked Syria, or Lebanon, or Tunis, or Iraq, or Libya.

So, are you a Trump-sympathizer, trying to justify your support for him by trying to find the silver lining from the acrid cloud of burning oil? Asking out of curiosity as to why you'd write this.

If only someone didn't rip up a deal a particular president with a Kenyan father did, Iran might've been more contained...

You've answered your own question - there is no policy with Trump. He certainly knows how to hone in on issues that get people riled up, but as far as solutions the only things he has are echoes of plans decades out of date, performative vice signalling, and bluster. In normal times department bureaucrats would keep the policies halfway sane, but he's made sure to replace them with yes-men that just go along with his chaos. You either see this, regardless of your political inclination, and thus you're "anti-Trump". Or you remain transfixed by the cult of personality thinking there must be some grand genius plan waiting behind the scenes (ie the real "TDS" that the term is meant to obscure).

The timing is the dumbest. Either you attacked during the protest+insurection to try to divide Iran, or you waited for Komenei to die of his cancer and the election of another priest as the supreme leader. The guardians of the revolution part of the army would have been loyal to komenei's clan, so the choice would have been to let go the power or to start internal struggles.

Now they got to switch from a theocracy to an effective monarchy, for free.

[repost] Nonsense. There's no evidence whatsoever that Iran were planning to attack neighbouring countries nor is it in their interest. This is all Israel-fabricated bullshit which goes back about four decades.

Repost because of the clear strategic downvoting of my other comment.

I repeat: provide some evidence.

[repost, response to the strategically flagged comment about mountains of evidence about Iran's imminent violence to its neighbours]

There is not any otherwise you would present it. The only destabilising force in the ME is Israel. And there's plenty of evidence to prove as much. E.g. the minimum of seven wars started by Israel over just the last ten years.

Where is this "mountain of evidence" that an attack from Iran was imminent?

Help me make up my mind, could you link said mountain?

"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tehran and east, west, south and north somewhat." [1] - Donald Trumpsfeld

I can't tell if that was posted as a joke or is serious. The Rumsfeld who also swore that Iraq had WMDs.

CamperBob2 7 days ago | parent | next [-]

It's a joke.

With Trump and his supporters, the stupid never stops. Just today, JD Vance warned of nuclear suicide vests. [1]

Somebody, please, tell me that I'm the idiot, and that I've fallen for an AI video.
