    Iran is going to have to bend the knee quickly. Can’t have Israel flying over Tehran unchecked, that’s how regimes get toppled.

    Say whatever you want about Israel, a completely neutered Iran is good for the region and good for the world.

    Bibi and company aren’t the good guys, but the Iranian leadership and command structure that have been targeted are very much the bad guys.

    Are you sitting here saying Israel is gonna stop once they are done with Iran?

    Which one of these countries is in the middle of genociding an entire population off the face of the earth?

    I’d rather have Israel “scared” of some countries over there than running unchecked across the Middle East cause it’s obvious their current leadership is not gonna get tired of murdering brown people any time soon.

    You’re going to freak out when you find out who propped up Assad in a war that killed 650,000 people and displaced 13 million

    oh and the Shia death squads that went around drilling holes in peoples heads and left tens of thousands dead during the Iraqi civil war in 06-07

    and yet every single one of those countries fired on them first. Are they bombing Egypt? How about Jordan? Every single country Israel has bombed is an Iranian proxy and started firing missiles at Israel. Hezbollah started firing missiles into Israel before the October 7th attack had even ended.

    idk if he's talked about his experience, if he has I do not know it

    but it's much like trump voters who believe a bunch of nonsense and dont wanna go against what they've said/thought and face being stupid and wrong

    there are generations of jews who are told it's the world against israel and only israel will protect itself and every single neighboring country wants to bomb them

    it's a hard thing for a lot of them to face that it was just a lot of propaganda that brain washed them

    Lol no, Israel attempting to genocide 86M Persians isn’t gonna work out that way.

    Pretty disgusting to paint “say whatever you want about these guys, but those are the bad guys”. Be best. Israel government are bad guys, it’s really easy to admit that. Genocide is bad. Your words Paddy “say what you want about genocide by Israel…but”

    As this feed regularly deals with unforeseen consequences rippling out, one of the results of the destruction of Iran will be the strengthening of ISIS\. Iran\-funded Shia militias have helped contain them, particularly in Iraq\.

    An empowered ISIS is not good for anyone\.

    1. It’s a hell of claim to make that Israel is attempting to genocide 86M Persians. Care to expand on your basis and evidence for that position?

    2. It’s ridiculous to infer that I am inherently supporting a genocide by saying “Iran is bad”. Netanyahu is a bad guy. He is doing bad things. He has turned a terrorist attack into an excuse to wage war against all of his enemies (sound familiar?). He has allowed and likely approved the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Gaza. He has started a war with Iran on unverifiable pretenses of nuclear weapons (sound familiar?) We good? I pass the loyalty test?

    Iran is still fucking bad and we and the world are better off with them significantly hobbled as a regional player. It’s just a geopolitics thought with respect to an important factual development in the region. Do you have any desire to engage on that at all?

    It is fucking ridiculous the thought conformity that has to be applied to even attempt to engage in an adult conversation on the Middle East on this board right now.
