War with Iran
- Thread starter Butler1000
- Start date
I think the Iranian leaders that matter (whoever is left) will be more interested in self-preservation and skimming some cream off the top (the oil industry). The sense is the military leadership are more opportunists than Islamists.
CNN has the following:
Overall, 59% of Americans disapprove of the initial decision to strike Iran, with 41% approving. Strong disapproval (31%) roughly doubles strong approval (16%). A marginally higher share (44%) say they favor the US trying to overthrow the Iranian government, with 56% opposed to that.
Perhaps for Canadians. Sometimes in your eagerness to support your argument you lose a sense of events and history.
I assure you this statement above could not be any more wrong.
A recent polling of Iranians shows the regime has a 96% approval rating.
Reporters tried to interview some in the 4% for their perspective, but apparently they all had abruptly moved to new addresses.
The military officers sporting beards kind of took me out of the scene. Just sayin'.Speaking of War

Qats like a knife.They already joined, Qatar has been firing on Iranian jets and downed a few.
Qatar downs two Iranian fighter jets as conflict widens
Qatari Defence Ministry also says seven ballistic missiles and five drones fired by Iran were intercepted.

There's an Easter egg for Canadians in that pun.
Not just the middle east.
Considering American hostility to Europe, all European nations should also ask the US to leave.
No US bases outside US borders.
First, sincerely thanks for your honest and realistic assessment of the Iranian regime. For many years, we have had a small but vocal contingent that supports radical Islamists every step of the way.
All of what you said is fair commentary and essentially true.
I myself might be less optimistic about Republicans chances in the Midterms even with good outcomes in the Mideast. I still think the Democrats will win the House. On the other hand, the 2028 Republican nominee could possibly accrue some benefits. Presidential elections are different animals. Strong leadership and foreign policy take on more importance. In the Midterms, you obviously have less turnout but also people know their Congressman has less direct impact on foreign policy.
True, that counter doesn't add in the $5 billion in radar and THAAD destroyed or those fired already.
The question is what happens after the defensive missiles are gone.
Once it starts being a drone war Iran has the advantage.
In discussing the leadership you are, as an American, too used to corruption bring the default position of that class. I think fanaticism better describes the leadership in Iran.
And CNN has always been the biggest supporters of wars. Since Desert Storm they have has a deal eith the military. Any polling they do on this, even as unpopular as this one is will always be suspicious.
I haven't lost my senses. I'm predicting it either results in a loss for the USA, with serious damage to Iran but the power structure(not people, power)intact. Or Libya. Which is a win for a Israel. But may result in lasting problems with oil production in the region.
Now its just wait and see.
You being an american likely can't see this, but america is now the evil empire.
Lead by a pedophile and controlled by a state committing genocide and responsible for most of the wars this century.
Venezuela - evil empire type attack
Threats to Canada - evil empire
Threats to Greenland - same
Palestine - you can't get more evil than backing genocide
Now the army is saying they are fighting for armeggedon, making trump the actual antichrist.
I gather you believe assassination of foreign leaders, which
Ronald Reagan banned, is a smart war tactic. Not even Adolph
Hitler would stoop as low---Hitler simply deployed the Luftwaffe
to bomb London. Winston Churchill and the British royalties
were spared.
Remember in the future your enemy can do the same deed on
your leaders, government officials and scientists outside the
battlefield.
After celebrating two years of genocide in Palestine the right wing is celebrating bombing schools and hospitals in Iran.
terrorists.
terrorists.
MAGA is super pissed now because Rubio declared that Israel goaded them into war.
He admitted that Israel controls american wars.
He admitted that Israel controls american wars.
5 years of production of Tomahawks used up in 3 days of war.
It's hard to understand how the Washington Post is failing with lovely writing such as this.
"With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s 'Les Misérables.' ... Some Iranians who knew Ayatollah Khamenei before he became supreme leader described him as a 'closet moderate'' ...
