    NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

    Are you fucking for real? You just escalated a regional conflict and joined a war which did not threaten the US.

      It’s almost like this was the plan the entire fucking time, and Iran is telling the truth when they say they have evidence the U.S. was involved from the beginning.

        The intention all along was to destabilise and buy time. With enough time, the US military enterprise machine is able to produce and develop arms that maximise profit, and destruction, driving the US economy up.

        It’s not dissimilar to what Russia is doing, except there are middlemen to ensure whitewashing is easier.

    I have 4 able-bodied nephews between the ages of 14 and 24 on my wife’s side and all my in-laws are all MAGA. I wonder how they’ll justify one or more of those boys dying in Iran once WWIII is in full swing.

    We’re so fucked. Could we maybe not have world war three at the same time as climate induced system collapse? Is that too much to ask for?

      Gonna be a rough time. Maybe we will have it all at once and wipe out 3/4 of the worlds population and maybe the planet will recovery a few generations later.

      But that would be a stretch of a silver lining.

        Global CO2 production dropped dramatically for years after WW2. It doesn’t even take eliminating a significant fraction of the population to drastically improve our emissions, all it takes is a large economic impact. Less global prosperity = less CO2.

        So hey, maybe this is great for the planet… (But still really bad for the human race)

    Y’all ain’t seeing the bigger plan here like Republicans do.

    We gotta make th next Taliban now so we have someone to go to war with in 20 years. War is profitable and will make America strong again after Democrats unfuck this pig. Then Republicans can swoop in and claim the credit!

    /S of course.

    We’re so fucked these assholes are in charge.

    Either Iran negotiates some more, digs into nuclear weapon development, has regime change, or things go to shit more broadly. Same 4 options that were available before and these strikes do nothing but make things worse for every party involved. Just more Trump machismo, best I can hope is that it’s 3 strikes and we are out… but I really doubt it.

      The bombing actually makes the chances of regime change even harder. There’s nothing like being attacked by a foreign adversary to galvanize support for an authoritarian regime.

        Could go both ways, really. A good part of the population - especially in big cities - is quite fed up with the Islamist regime, and a large number of them likely aren’t too thrilled about the prospect of it building nuclear weapons either. It might not be the way they would’ve preferred a regime change to happen, but if it looks like it’s about to happen, they’ll likely seize the opportunity.

            I guess it really depends on what you bomb. Military bases, government buildings etc – there is a chance. Civilian infrastructure, hospitals etc – no.

            It should be noted though that for example during WWII, the allied bombing of German cities really lowered morale, despite what propaganda tried to portray; but the situation is obviously different because Germany was actively at war with boots on the ground and everyone including its citizens knew they were an open aggressor.

            Edit: of course it wasn’t open revolt, but it sped up regime change.

            Also please don’t read this as pro bombing. I think this is worst solution to the issue that was caused by Western countries that never stepped up
