The ONLY victory vs the Islamic Republic of Iran is......total destruction of regime, and replace it with what the Iranian people want, "democracy/ freedom/ prosperity" like before 1979. Its like a cancerous tumor, you cannot leave anything from the current regime alive, either they surrender or die, simple as that. Its like the same scenario in Russia, the Putin Regime is hellbent on reestablishling the old Empire, you CANNOT "make deals" with tyrants. North Korea should have never been allowed to develope nukes under Clinton administration. Trump at least made sure that the crazies in Tehran never accomplished it, again "regime change" has to ultimate goal.
To be honest the Iranian people have been oppressed for so long they really have no idea what they want.
Well, seeing how many protested vs the Khameini Regime, (millions) and even after the brutal crackdown where 45K were slaughtered by the regime, today we see jubilant Iranians cheering on the US and Israelis both inside Iran and in other countries where exiled Iranians now live. You could say, inside Iran 90 percent will want regime change.
Yet, I saw Americans protesting the War. Are these idiots that uninformed on World events. How can anyone in their right mind not want freedom for the Iranian people from that brutal, murderous regime?
If it were a Democrat in the White House doing the exact same things President Trump is doing, they would be worshiping him, building statues of him and naming their children after him. But, since they are nothing more than brainless, bottom-feeding worms who are consumed by hatred, they continue with their senseless prattling. This country is shaking them off like a nasty virus. Look at what just happened to one of the poster children for Trump Derangement Syndrome, Jasmine Crockett. Even Al Green, who resoundingly won his previous elections (when he didn’t run unopposed), will now face a primary battle. Citizens are waking up to the truth that the Democrat Party offers little but hate, violence, stupidity, corruption and fear.
I think I've finally figured out what your strength is . . . losing things! Elections, arguments, trains of thought . . .
I do not know CIA head back in 1941. But FDR was President. Basically Stalin, that beacon of humanity invaded Iran in 41. That same year the German wehrmacht was crushing the Red Armies. So, the Allies forced the old Shah out and installed his son as their puppet.
And that kind of behavior is why there is trouble in the middle east. All this intervention and mandates and what not by UN/USA/jews was not acceptable then and remains problematic today. Chickens coming home to roost. See it for what it is and why. Why shouldn't Iran burn it all down? Why is my country footing the bill for the jews? Fighting for their aggressions? In this case the der leader is figuring out how to grift from this chaos. The MIC and the OIl companies will take windfalls ... follow the money to his cut. He doesn't have the first care what it costs the USA or anyone else in the world.
You are right again, most of the problems we have in the World today, go back to 1919 (Versailles) 1922 (Lussanne) Treaties more or less really glorified vengeance to destroy the three enemies German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman Empires. This led to WW2. Caused hyperinflation Germany/ Austria/ Hungary, almost a Bolesvik takeover in same nations, actually Bela Kun did become the Red Tzar of People's Rep. of Hungary in 1922. But, lets take it to the Middle East. Greedy colonial powers Britain/ France dismantled the Ottoman nation. They then created colonial fiefdoms all over region, mainly for resources, oil to name one. The region was stable under Ottoman Sultans. Iran was never part of Turkey, Selim I almost conquered Iran in 1511, but Sulieman I lost it. Of course the US is not lily white, Polk provoked a War with Mexico, McKinley with Spain, both weak. Result US added California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Philippines, Cuba, Puerto-Rico as result, much same as Putin tried in Ukraine. Except, Americans are better warriors then inept Russians. Thankfully, they have brave leader, Zelenskyy. Ukrainians formations are equal to German military of 1939-45. Almost like the Winter War of 1939-40 when Finland destroyed Stalins Red army invaders.
