however, strategic bombing to destroy and cripple enemy industry and logistics infrastructure worked very well. it was a huge factor in bringing about the decline and eventual defeat of german forces on the eastern (and western) front.
Like I said, are they going to invade? The strategic value of the bombing campaign is only relevant if there is an invasion. A revolution to make Prince Cuck the new Shah isn't going to magically appear because you blew up some Iranian's houses and children. Blowing up people's houses and children has probably lowered the chance of that happening, not increased it.
 
"american soldiers died while running away from the hajis because brandon bungled the retreat" leaves a very sour taste in everybodys mouth. "american soldiers died while destroying the DEATH TO AMERICA regime" is much more palatable to everyone involved.
I'd rather not be over there at all ever again.

This situation isn't like American elections where you really are just choosing between the lesser evil. The decision to be in the Middle East was always the result of greedy people deliberately sticking their dick in a hornet's nest for profit. I see constant justification and rationalization for going back over there while the same greedy people keep profiting off it no matter what. The latest batch are MAGA stupids will who hear the man talk about making resorts in Gaza with his name on them over the ashes of dead Palestinians and somehow still go It's not about greed!

Not that public opinion matters when making these decisions anymore obviously. We just blundered into this without Congress. But I don't think anyone except the most diehard political cultists will excuse Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush or anybody else getting involved in the Middle East anymore. The end result is greedy people profiting and Americans dying no matter how you look at it. Everyone is so jaded now and even if we discovered enough oil down there to fuel the United States of America for the next one-million years you'd still see low support.

And no, I don't believe Iranians are intelligent enough to produce functional nuclear weapons. I don't believe any majority Muslim nation is. And even if Allah blessed them with the knowledge they would have an autistic meltdown, use the weapon immediately on their neighbor, misfire and reduce the population of the Middle East to zero. If I didn't know what Israel and Saudi Arabia was I would ask why we are babysitting these idiots so that doesn't happen.
 
The majority of the jobs in the military are "cozy", and have basically zero chance of danger.
Only like 20% of the military is comprised of infantry/war fighter jobs, with the rest being made up of various support roles.

It's common for people to go their entire enlistment never deploying.
Something people should know is that for a lot of service members, deployments are things they have to compete for.
I remember the last base I was at my MOS had a couple hundred members stationed working, and on the off chance we got a deployment, there might be like 10-15 people that get deployed.

Also, even when the average service member does deploy, most of their time deployed is basically just them doing their normal job, just on some base in the desert.
I never heard even a single scary story from anybody I knew that deployed during the time I knew them. For every person I knew it was just 6 months spent in the desert with nothing crazy.
I wonder if you could apply to specific jobs that have a realistic chance of never seeing action, like they have a job listing of shit that just sounds boring but well paying.

Based take tbh
The majority of right wingers (not all obviously) have been hawkish on Iran for that long.
MAGA repubs? Nope, they were very anti-war.It is fair to say that there has been a 360 degree turn from a lot of the shills with little to no explanations to their change in position(trump tells em what to think)
because you blew up some Iranian's houses and children. Blowing up people's houses and children has probably lowered the chance of that happening,
There has been no actual evidence for this, so far every side is blaming the other .
 
so is it possible the IRGC will just eventually realize they are fucked and give up? or is this one of those instances where we poked the hive and now every single one is going to fight to the death to avenge their fallen leader?

i keep seeing mixed messages on this some say there are totally some higher ups willing to surrender some even say there a bunch of mossad spies who are just waiting to take over when everyone else is dead. but then you also have people saying there are way more troops waiting than we even realize or that china might sneak in and start helping.

Eh, maybe in the “dissident right” sphere on X that’s true. Most normie right-wingers and the media they watch have pretty consistently been hawkish. It’s interesting seeing the contrast between my FYP and the people I know IRL
 
Destruction of the Iranian air force.
Destruction of the Iranian navy.
Wiping out IRGC leadership.
Destruction of ballistic missile stockpiles.

And of course, defensive goals, i.e. not losing a carrier, not getting an AWACS shot down, not letting large numbers of troops get killed or wounded.
Your forgetting the big one here.
The Supreme Leader Ayatollah IS FUCKING DEAD.
 
Forgive my ignorance here-but I have seen no evidence the Iranian state is collapsing, spawn camp as many leaders as you like I guess-but the actual organizational apparatus of the IRCG, the clerical body and the civilian leadership doesn't seem remotely destroyed yet.
I want you to imagine tomorrow a martian invasion fleet parks itself in low orbit and announes "Stay in your homes. We are only at war with your government. We are here to help you liberate yourself and do not intend to harm you" and proceeds to only use their Martian Death Rays only on the government, anyone who doesn't draw a paycheck funded by tax payers is safe unless a Politican gets ZZT'd right next to them and they inhale some hot ash and sneeze.
How much would this actually affect your daily life? Would this actually impair yor ability to go to work? the store? school?
That is what is going on right now. The US and Israel are not at war with the Iranian people, just government.

And really, they aren't at war with the government.
You need to realize there are two parallel governments and two parallel militaries in Iran.

there are the Mullahs and the IRGC, and there is the Elected Governent and the Iranian Armed forces. The US is only hunting down the former, the unelected, unofficial group controlling shit behind the scenes and working the strings.
They claim they don't the country, that they are republic and democratic. But the mulllahs say who is and isn't allowed to run in elections. They say who is and isn't allowed to work for the government. IF they don't like what you do or say, they have you branded an apostate, or a counter-revolutionary, or a threat to the state and have you arrested, thrown in a prison where you have no rights, and very likely have you executed. They do this because the IRGC is their armed wing and no one has enough firepower to go against them.

Iran has used this 'separation of powers' before to troll the world. "No no IRan isn't funding and arming Hesbollah. This is not a state action. We are not monitoring the activities of the IRGC and do not care to comment on their actions, therefrore you can't sanction us or order us to pay reparations in international court :smug""

So the reason Iran isn't collapsing into complete anarchy is that it isn't supposed to. Just the pedoworshipping filth at the top is being scraped away so the Iranian people can take back their government. Hence no powerplants being hit, no bridges, no roads, no railroads, no harbors just the IRGC ships moored there.


This is also the beautiful thing.
The US and Israel have thus not been attacking Iran, they have simply been attacking two oganizations based in Iran. Thus their strikes are technically legal.
The elected Iranian president is still alive. Most of his cabinent and ministers are. Regular Iranian Army, Airforce, and Navy have not been targeted except for active air defense sites and even then they only hit the posts run by the regular army only after bombing the IRGC installations for msot of a full day. That is, if you are a Iranian Army missileer, you got sufficient heads up "Maybe I shoudn't report for duty today. Maybe I shouldn't remain at my post".

the US and Israel have, currently, no intention to go to war with Iranian people or their elected government. Only the corrupt, retarded violent, and ineffective puppet masters that run things from the shadows to allow them cravenly extract wealth from the state without regard for the damage they cause while doing so.

The whole point of I Can Haz Furyburger Epic Fury is that next week the Iranian people can simply step ouside of their homes and take back their country from these parasites that have been feeding on them.

my headcanon is that some iranian city will fall into rebel hands at some point in the coming weeks (possibly with US special forces involvement)
then the burgers will airdrop reza pahlavi in there to set up a rebel government and try to raise an army of anti regime iranians. american support (airstrikes, supplies, weapons, intel sharing) would then enable these rebel forces to win their civil war, end the islamic republic, and restore the imperial state of iran.

yeah i know it's a lot of wishful thinking, but i like to dream

what you are describing is the plan. US has glowies and very like Green Berets on the ground getting the people ready. You haven't seen anything go down because Pahlavi and the Trump have told the Iranian people to shelter in place they are monitoring the situation because they are leveling every fucking bit of it IRGC infrastructure and all their missiles sites and they do not want any innocent Iranians caught in the carnage. If Iranians started taking over government offices, they wouldn't be ablle to tell who is protestor and who is IRGC filth that needs to die.


Green Beret's whole purpose is to work with indigenous forces, help them organize and in general make life difficult for any non-americans and things easier for Americans. Satotage, intel, organizing resistance, safe houses ... these are subjects Green Berets are experts in. You almost never hear of them or their activities because you aren't supposed to. You really only see the people they have trained.

So, with Iran gone, hezbollah fucked over and hamas defunded, can we declare 10/7 the worst decision made by islamics in recent history?
Understatement of the year.
Israel was happy to let things sit as they were in 2021. Hamas launches 20 or so rockets every year,Hezbollah runns part of Lebanon. But its fine, no need to worked up. Just shrug and iron dome the next one.

and then Hamas opens the Great October Jew Hunt. This shows that Hamas are violent inbred retards who CAN'T be trusted to just sit back and behave. They will upset the applecart to murder jews at any time they think they can get away with it. You have pictures of Hamas troops sheltering under schools and hospitals. Videos of Hamas abusing hostages and sexually violating corpses. Everyone see the Jews were 100% right.

Now you have Palestininans starving in ruined cities, pictures broadcast live in 4K and all the usual Muslim defenders going "See? See what the jews are doing?" and the whole world sort of looking on bored and disinterested and sort of half shrugging "Well, they did Fuck Around pretty hard after all."

Who blew them up, dude?

No, for real. I've seen little evidence of anyone being responsible for that.
