President Donald Trump

Nothing good

To wipe out the regime you need to take them all. If khameni is dead the mullahs have enough of a stranglehold on the government that he is replaced by a more radicalized ayatollah declaring khameni a martyr

What Israel wants is an abolishment of the theocracy, which, in theory I agree with cuz **** the mujihadeen, but they are running out of resources, have run out of water in most places, and are a gigantic population in the region. Even taking bibi and trump at face value like a delusional sycophant and envisioning a truly democratic iran being the end result, to get there will create the largest humanitarian crisis the Middle East has ever seen and the entire populace of iran will likely be refugees scattering the region, which becomes even more of a problem when you factor in the hatred between Shiites and Sunnis and factor in that 90+% of the Shiite population resides in iran

To be clear, I have spent my entire adult life wishing death on khameni, but the forced overthrow, especially by Israel and America, is the worst possible option

I don’t think it’s about having less accountability, it’s about having less restraints. It seems this is the time to strike. Regime change is within reach. I don’t know how anybody would argue getting rid of these tyrants wouldn’t be a good thing. Given how many Iranian civilians have been killed I think it would be far worse if the US just abandoned them.

I have no doubt Trump is capable of making decisions solely for his benefit but I don’t think this is one of them.

You would think the US has thought about all of this but who knows. This may end up being something that benefits Israel and the US in the short term but ends up being very bad for the Iranian people.

Thanks for sharing.

If you believe what’s been reported, yes, the US has definitely thought about all this. Which is why most generals of consequence said this was a terrible idea

But here we are with Bibi’s fleshlight as commander in chief

The "US" in this case is an idiot and his incompetent sycophants.

If, by regime change, you mean killing Khameini, then regime change is in reach now and has been in reach for many, many years. But that just begs the question. Regime change into what?

If, by regime change, you mean change into a durable democracy, I am much, much more skeptical.

It’s impossible to overstate how bad this is

Even with obama’s nuclear deal in place, the economy was in shambles. When trump ripped it up for no other reason than pettiness it got even worse

From there, economic unrest has reached a fever pitch and climate change has turned the country into a truly inhabitable desert

No matter how bad khameni is to the country, there’s still as much stability within the region as is possible by at least having a government intact. Turning the 2nd largest country in the Middle East into complete hell and creating a power vacuum in hell is not something the world is prepared for

It was Israel making a preemptive peace strike to prevent Iran causing a war

Thanks. I am not surprised by anything you wrote. Your observation that the Sunni/Shiite dynamic would be an exacerbating factor in any refugee crisis is an important point that I suspect most Americans do not appreciate.

Looks like the FIFA Peace prize didn't work.

To the point I just made, Iran is a much bigger country, with a much bigger economy and a much bigger population, than most Americans realize.

For people like Victor and that blind blah blah blah genocide ilk, I just don’t wanna ****ing hear it

The ultimate can’t see the forest through the trees sea of abject stupidity made even more laughable that it was a midwestern white guy telling people you’re supporting GENOCIDE and something something BLUEMAGA by not allowing trump to be elected

Just truly and completely irredeemable human garbage

Even reading jalfrezi’s posts, who seems for the most part to be a sane and reasonable person, assert that this was inevitable no matter what

lol no it ****ing wasn’t. Nobody but trump is belligerent or stupid enough to have done this

I’m not overly confident about how this will all turn out. I’m hopeful at minimum this will strike a big blow to Irans ability to conduct proxy wars. Best case is that a durable democracy will be put into place. I’m skeptical that the best case scenario will happen. History says it won’t.

you spent the last 2 years laughing about kids in Gaza getting blown to bits so I think you are the one who should save it.

Homie with no due respect at all

**** you, every last ****ing thing you hold dear, and I only believe in god enough to pray you crawl through glass in hell

Continue sitting at your computer eating Doritos praying to be the smartest guy on the Internet you ****ing pos

Last response you ever get from me and absolute last time I ever reference you, consider that before you respond

this is you right?

just making sure its the same person that literally joked about the slaughter of people in Gaza today.

He’s joking about you, Victor, not actual genocide.

This is pretty obvious, bare minimum of literacy required.

This just isn't happening. Khamenei has lived with immense power and status for decades and there will be no shortage of people who dream of someday being in that position. It's also something that has very likely been discussed and arranged and all of that long ago. It's going to have to require internal pressure from its people and Ali and Co has no problem killing em all to keep that power.

I'm almost certain this won't age well.

This

Anyone who thinks it’s as simple as killing khameni has zero understanding of the Iranian ecosystem since the revolution

Which is fine, I wouldn’t have understanding of it if I didn’t pay attention to this country cuz, you know, birth, so it’s not like I’d expect your average 2+2 poster to pay attention

But I am certain the military is littered with leaders who understand this which is why until now this was never done regardless of saber rattling

Kinda like being perma-banned.
