And if the Iranian delegation hadn't laughed in the negotiators' faces and bragged about having eleven nukes in a week, America wouldn't have attacked.
We can play this blame game going back decades, but the final conclusion is that radical Islamic terrorism is the source of instability in the Middle East and has been pretty much always been since that sham religion was invented.

Any proof of that besides the guys that have attacked them saying so?

Southern states are already being told to prepare for hurricane season at $8 (from ~$2.75 a month ago). That's a wrap for the mid-terms and beyond.

i don't know if it's really that stupid. non-rhetorical, non-agenda question, but don't we have a number of schools *on* our military bases for children of the enlisted? army brats and the like?

we do, the difference would be that we also vacate and evacuate civvies from those bases the first sign of something dangerous possibly happening, we did so in the leadup to this conflict with Iran as well.

Iran doesn't seem to share that concern for their civilians on/near their bases and instead we've seen in photos and videos that as we've removed some of the IRGC's actual bases, they've begun moving in on and using schools to work out of directly.

Even on day one the Ayatolah himself was apparently aware enough of the present risk of attack to where he was kept below ground in a bunker, but didn't seem to think it prudent to not have his toddler grandaughter present in the government building with him. I guess "imminent military conflict" doesn't override bring your grandaughter to work day.

Re-read the quote. He's saying the Iranian people themselves will act as the ground forces against the regime.

That doesn't answer my question why ground forces would be necessary for anything. Operation Epic Fury's goals are to destroy Iranian missiles, missile production, their navy, and prevent Iranians from ever having nuclear weapons. What are ground forces needed for? Iranian air defenses are all gone. Just bomb them.

Let's be realistic. There is no way prove that one way or another. Civilian side access to intelligence is quite literally nothing more than just he said, she said. We won't know the real truth for probably 20 years. Just pick whatever headlines make you feel really smart and spam them whenever you feel bad.

Because Trump said from his opening video, addressing the strikes, that the Iranian people should act to take over their government once the bombs stop dropping, but it'll be up to them to do it.

This is what's happening in 95% of KF's political threads anyway. That and choosing your least favorite ethnic group to accuse all the people who disagree with you of being. Personally, I enjoy a good accusation of brown skin.

Regime change isn't a goal of Operation Epic Fury.


"The mission of Operation Epic Fury is laser-focused: Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their navy and other security infrastructure – and they will never have nuclear weapons."

Which would be why it's up to the Iranian people to perform regime change if they want it, while we pound the Iranian military infrastructure (or what's left of it.)

It is not a goal of the operation but it has been readily recognized from the beginning that if the Iranian people seek it, this would be the best time for them to achieve it and we welcomed that possibility.

I'm not wasting this site's server space reuploading the video. Trump said what he said, you know he did, and you're just being purposefully obtuse about it.

If you upload the same video it doesn't, I believe jersh said it just uses the same copy as the original if it has a matching hash.

Isn't it funny how they believe whatever's convenient for the argument at the moment? They shift goalposts as easily as they breathe.

Receipt pulling fag here once again. Who represents the "Southern States" to tell people this in an official capacity. I think that would be very alarming to the deep-red states for their individual Republican Governors coming together to issue a warning of impending doom. It's also surprising that all major and minor news sites are not reporting this statement was made by someone in an official capacity. If any state in America gets $8 gas, it will be California

Post the link you read this in and hands to be taken seriously.
