Nothings gonna happen. There is probably already a deal on the table.

In reality nukes needs to be used to properly end this thing. We know how the world would react so it’s not gonna happen.

It's a low bar, but I guess mongidig would be an even worse president than Trump.

I'm sure Israel will be happy to take one for the team here.

Nah. I think a proper blockade would cause The Regime to fall without resorting to any of this. But China and Russia would need to get on board.

No. I'm saying destroying the societal structure - in this case the regime - doesn't entail killing all the Iranian people.

by John21 m

Sure seems like a lot of people read it as genocide to me.

You really suck at this.

--My timeline right now is a lot of doxxing of Iranians in the US with links to the regime. If someone engages in anti-American activism and/or engages in supporting the regime then I think it is fine to deport them. But if there is none of this and someone is just quietly living their life I would say leave them alone. That being said, The Regime is pretty ruthless in sendi

Probably equally prolific rapists though.

A civilization isn't defined entirely by its current political leadership. Civilization existed in what is now modern-day Iran for thousands of years before 1980. It's a way of life for daily people, a language, a sense of community defined by a shared cultural history, etc.

If someone claimed that they were going to destroy Italian civilization, it would be correct to assume that human lives were at risk, but also a way of life and centuries of art and architecture.

Trump said a complete and total regime change was done. Why are we still waiting for the regime to fall? Or is it the new regime that needs to fall? Hard to keep up.

Pure insanity. Openly threatens genocide and not a soul in his administration will give him **** for it.

Hope you're wrong about that.

Maybe Tulsi?

'Genocide' seems totally accurate if you take Trump at his word.

Hope you're right.

Genocide doesn't mean killing every single person.

I think it DOES mean that.


by whatthejish m

Why haven't you enlisted?

Because we have a standing army and not a militia?

I agree with you--in that context. But in the context of Trump's post, I took it as an end to clerical rule in Iran. It's just Trump's typical click-bait for the media to lead with.


by geezerchess m

Right, a standing army that recently expanded the enlistment age. There's no excuse for a true patriot like Elway/mongi to be sitting on the sidelines!

It would be disingenuous to demand the deaths of Iranians without the willingness to risk one's own boots, nay?


by geezerchess m

I believe if the Iranian people were armed, the regime would be toppled. There would also be a lot of Iranian's killed. If what they're planning sets a spark to that, I wouldn't call it genocide.

Whether Trump is planning any of that, who knows. But he's basically shoved on them and appears to have the regime paranoid and on their heels.

I don't see that as disingenuous at all.

If we didn't already have a huge, well-trained, well-armed professional army I would agree with you.


by geezerchess m

I think it DOES mean that.

You don't just have to kill them all but you also have to destroy all their genetic material so that they can't be reconstructed in some sort of futuresque Jurassic Park scenario.

Then why expand the enlistment age to 42? Seems it's not as huge as you think, although I understand if this is a recurring issue for you.

Regardless, demanding the deaths of others while being unwilling to risk his own skin for the cause is dumb.

Who knows? I suspect because Trump needs an even bigger army to invade the next half-dozen countries on his list.

Even if Elway/Mongo enlisted today, I doubt he could be trained in time to be deployed to Iran.

I agree that one must be willing to die for a cause one believes in, but that wouldn't necessarily entail enlisting in the army.


If mongi enlisted it would only be for the raping in invaded countries.


I had to chuckle at the "I doubt he could be trained" part.

Depends on the cause

and even if willing to die that doesn't mean willing to kill
