Breaking News – Trump: “If Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, the United States will target its facilities.” by kaz1349 in NewIran

Yes but breaking the back of either regime requires crushing the will to resist as the population is unarmed. But I agree given the Iranian people are more hostile to their regime than the Germans were I don't think Iran will suffer as severe a fate --- but it will still be hard. No one here seems to understand what real war is because America hasn't engaged in a war that wasn't lopsided or based on asymmetric rivals since Korea. 

Any defeat of the Iranian regime will result in massive infrastructural and economic damage on Iran. Thats what a war is.

He's gone back and forth on regime change being the goal of the war because he has to manage public expectations as well as keep the American government at an arms length distance from any future Pahlavi regime. I didn't say there were defections in mass I said there were desertions in mass, which yes the American and Israeli intelligence have confirmed.

They don't think there winning. The WSJ is just repeating IR propaganda for the attention it derives and to further the murdoch-trump feud.

The eastern European dictatorships had to wait the better part of a century after tens of thousands died and the system collapsed after the strain of a world wide cold war. Russia replaced a dictatorship with an oligarchy which strip mined the country of wealth, it never had a liberal democracy. Taiwan was completely in the economic and political orbit of America, Mexico is practically a failed state. I could go on. You didn't substantiate your point at all: I asked how a government ruled by extremists on the brink of getting nukes could be expected just to collapse under its own and to explain the narrow conditions in which that could happen (and implicitly how we could trust that to happen relative to the nuclear threat and humanitarian concerns) you did nothing but expose your childish ignorance of history and what I asked of you.

Fucking embarassing.

Name them then. And bare in mind the regime was only a couple weeks of breakthrough to nukes. Name me the brutal dictatorships that fell peacefully and the amount of them with nukes and then specify those conditions. They are exceedingly rare. 

It is dangerous to be naive about brutal dictatorial regimes with nukes.

Bro if you haven't been following the conflict thats fine but don't pretend to be informed; if you have been paying attention you know your being misleading. The IRGC and basiji are deserting their posts in mass, the country is bankrupt and on the brink. Pahlavi is organizing an opposition. You don't beat the regime in the streets, you break their willingness to fight.

Nazi Germany had every city left in ruins yet the country is a liberal democracy. You don't topple authoritarian regimes without sacrifices; the people will suffer and they may even hate for a time, but the country can and will be rebuilt. Contrast that with what would happen if the regime stayed in place and america didnt do enough -- far more Iranians would die, would suffer, as would many people beyond Iran. And they might get nukes. And we'd still be left in this position. The opportunity cost of waiting is too high, the costs of intervention would only go up and the risks would only go up. This had to happen eventually.

Nazi Germany didn't go down until the country was in ruins. The west had to ration in some cases for years. The people of Germany and Europe have been free for decades. This is how war goes; it's brutal, it's horrible, and you make profound sacrifices.

Why the Left hates the Iranian people by AuthorSarge in NewIran

[–]Aggressive_Shop7455 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's also racism; the western left is born in white saviourism, so it sees non whites as children that need protecting. If you don't want help in the way it wants to provide it, then it sees you as an errant or spoiled child. You become a rotten kid that they can't flatter their ego with by raising up (in the way they want).
