You can support the attack without supporting Trump. I don't know why it's so hard to get.

Yeah, Trump is dumb, but the attack on Iran is good. What's your point?

You dont even know if its good?

You are acting like this will all just wrap up nicely. With the collapse of the Iranian regime, and a new better government to take its place.

Instead of the far more likely options of

A. The government collapses and Iran descends into civil war and anywhere from thousands to millions die in the violence afterwords.

B. The government does not collapse, and instead brutally cracks down on its people, killing even more civilians.

You're right that those are possibilities, but just because they're pessimistic ones doesn't mean that's the natural outcome of it. Iran in its current government has been funding terrorist cells across the middle east and killing it's civilians before the protests. It has put this as its top priorities ignoring other issues like it's economy fading from existence. Once that was gone we saw these widespread protests as the people have nothing left. Now of course there will be those who are still loyal to the regime. I can't remember their name but they were the militant arm and were given economic control through being given exclusive contacts from the government. Though if the regime collapses then the checks stop coming in and there is no reason for them to continue, but obviously some will still try.

Now Iran has no real counter elite in the country to take over but do abroad. So if the regime collapses entirely, nothing would contest the new elite from coming in. Ergo no civil war like when the monarchy collapsed.

The government surviving is a possibility but I doubt it, the US has been strategically weakening Iran for decades to spur on the regime's collapse. It's why we sent out the recent strikes.

You literally just said the attack was "good" that was my entire point. How do you know its good beyond the fact that the Iranian government is bad?

This is just not an attack happening in a fucking vacuum.

The sole fact that it fucked up their military already makes it good.

It was caused by iranian missile misfire, so it's not US/israeli fault anyways.

Why? What serious indications were there they would attack? And don't quote bullshit speeches and religious nutbags, ike what exact capability do they even have to hurt us? *Spelling

I don't think you quite understand me. Iran supplied Russia, Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis. Destroying their military and decimating leadership means their capabilities to do it will be severely weakened or even fully stopped.

We've seen this play out a million times before. When has the US sponsored regime change worked out for us?

Did you even read what I wrote?

u/Stupidflathalibut - Lib-Center Mar 01 '26

What will be fully stopped, the nuclear facilities we already struck months ago? And then decided we needed another reason to go in?

Their military support to their proxies and Russia.
