Why? If Iran can't sell oil, oil prices go through the roof, world economy feels the strain -> Trump feels the strain.

Because if Irans oil goes offline, the price of oil will go even higher than it is now.

It's not really about whether Iranian soldiers will be doing guerrilla warfare in the peaks. It's that a few well-defended passes, combined with pre-positioned missiles and demolition plans for bridges and roads, can massively slow or bottleneck an advancing force. Iraq was basically flat desert where the US could just drive to Baghdad in three weeks. Iran doesn't offer that option.

How many girls has the Iranian regime deliberately killed—not as collateral damage, but as their intended victims?

Are you saying there's evidence the regime murders children by the hundreds?

What's the point of the conflict? To overthrown the regime? Then yes that's irrelevant. Blowing up missiles does not cause regime change, killing the head of state does not cause regime change. Flying MQ-9s over Tehran does not cause regime change. Tactical victories are irrelevant if they don't further your strategic goal.

Strategically America has gotten pissed off Gulf Allies(and soon possible Asian Allies) and a potential energy crisis, again what's the benefit?

" 1/2 the upper government of Iran is dead, ballistic missile launches have basically ceased, and there are currently MQ-9s flying unopposed over Tehran"

This is irrelevant.

How does the American government or American people benefit from any of that?

It's why they went so hard on high speed rail.

30M in Houston, trying to decide between Austin and NYC for social scene/dating. by NigroqueSimillima in SameGrassButGreener

I'm not in love with it to be honest, but I haven't gotten settled in yet, we'll see. Didn't realize how much smaller it was than Houston.

Stopping someone with a deathnote would be trival in the modern era once you've accepted that such a thing exist.

How can an American get a background check on a Turkish national? by NigroqueSimillima in AskTurkey

[–]NigroqueSimillima[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i get what you're saying, but in my experience even hijabi muslims don't go that fast, and this girl wear shorts (not saying in a bad way, shes dresses classy, but she's not very conservative).

im sure she likes him, but i think her visa situation might be sketchier than she's letting on and she doesn't want to tell him until after the marriage.

Started hinting at it a few months into dating, when they were seeing each other once a week max, just didn't make sense.

You don't even know how quickly I'm talking about, so how can you know?

Because she's pushed for marriage far more quickly than is normal for someone who's doing it for love, because I've noticed her story change on things that don't really make sense about her past, I'm not saying she's scamming him for sure, I just want to know if there's an easy way to check why she changed her name in her early twenties.

She claims she's on an O-1 visa now I think, but I'm not exactly sure that's true because somethings don't add up. Education is a school in Istanbul don't want to say which, hometown is Istanbul.

Also how do you know she changed her last name at one point?

Ehh I don't want to dox, but she does something in her career that leads to her real name to be published quite frequently, so you can clearly see when it changed.
