    What the fuck is the 82nd Airborne Paratroopers gonna find if they touch down in Iran? This orange fucking moron doesn’t understand the only way to resolve this is to install somebody, to support the rebellion against Ayatollah’s factions, and they’re only polarizing candidates against them by bombing cities, putting boots on the ground, and allowing whatever the fuck Israel thinks its doing.

    And all but 2 GOP house members are completely on board. Every GOP senator. All of them.

      Yes, I don’t think a ground invasion of Iran is highly unlikely anymore, it is just unlikely.

      I think it is trending towards “likely” every hour though. There are no offramps on the horizon here in my opinion.

      Here is the thing I don’t think the Trump will try to occupy Iran, I just think ground troops might be used to destroy parts of it more thoroughly.

      support the rebellion against Ayatollah’s factions

      They’ve been doing that in Iran for half a century. We have dozens of examples, America supporting a puppet faction has never turned out better for the people.

      The best thing america can do for the iranian people is end all sanctions and fuck off. Their struggle isn’t advanced by being under siege.

          So do you want to point to a single place that is better off after America armed a puppet faction?

          Or just shriek “tankie” and shut down?

            Iran is already China’s Puppet faction like Syria was Russia’s. The resistance in Iran is very real, a push to end dictatorship, but clearly the USA under the orange fuck’s leadership is more interested in expanding Israeli borders.

              China trading with Iran after America said nobody is allowed to and armed terrorists doesn’t make Iran a Chinese puppet, or Syria for that matter.

              But you still can’t name a place that is better off after America armed some faction.

      They are intentionally targeting left leaning activists and politicians in their homes. They don’t want a stable government to take over, regardless of who it favors.

          The Americans who have or will have any say in the matter don’t.

          Last time Iran had a left-leaning government, the US armed a puppet faction and got the Shah in power, who made things bad enough the people got behind the current government. Opposing socialism has bipartisan support in DC.
