And I’ll leave it at that all the people who have been telling us that the Iranian people are on the verge of overthrowing their brutally repressive government for 40 years now have been engaging in the naive wishful thinking that has led to this point.
The Iranian regime is so weak and does not reflect the will of the people but also has the reach and power to bribe and force millions of people into the streets to mourn the general they supposedly hate. Sound logic all around.
Wanting to avoid another disastrous conflict in the middle east is the ignorant and arrogant position. Truly nothing has been learned from the farce that is the global war on terror.
Have the national war college graduates figured out how to win a war in the middle east yet?
Any day now the mullahs will be overthrown it is the will of the Iranian people we’re told by all the DC snakes that take money from the MEK and pro-Shah groups. Interesting there isn’t any pause from...
How dare anyone comment on the #1 news story in the world right now. I lurk the football board but don’t care to post.
Better than posting in support of Donald Trump, a person who could not and will not ever give a shit about someone like you.
It’s a lesson that an imperfect but workable deal is better than hawkish maximalist demands that will lead to failure.
Yes Iran is such an irrational actor, that’s why they chose a path of deescalation and offered Trump an off-ramp with the limited missile attack. Stellar analysis.
The North Korea deal was canceled by Dubya during his first term because it wasn’t hawkish enough and then they tested their first nuclear weapon in 2006. Sound familiar?
Yes the Iranian regime will collapse any day now, just like it has been for the last 40 years.
Ah are you going to tell us that the millions of people who thronged the streets for the funeral procession were there because they were forced. Keep swallowing the Iran war lobby’s talking points.
The deal was working, “maximum pressure” was supposed to bring Iran back to the negotiating table for an unnecessarily stricter deal. It has failed by all measures and Iran is closer to the bomb now than it was when Obama left office.
No one is safer because he’s dead. Yeah it’s a big political winner to exact a pound of flesh over grievances from the Iraq war while bringing us to the brink of one against Iran.
How did it work “brilliantly”. The Iranian people are more united behind their leadership now than before. Killing Soleimani may be a symbolic win but not a strategic win. He’s not irreplaceable.
The nuclear deal was working but now it is on its last legs due entirely to Trump and we have to...
Yes I blame Trump for taking us to the closest to war we’ve ever been with Iran because of his reckless militaristic foreign policy. Not exactly a controversial or surprising opinion but still elicits a meltdown from you.
No counterpoint, predictable from a “lightweight K*nt”. We’re still at the most precarious point in US-Iran relations in decades because of Trump’s policies.
