    It’s not just that…

    The trump admin is full of sycophants focused on short term grfits. In an operation like that, taking out the leader makes everything fall apart.

    Iran’s government is a legitimate evil theocratic regime.

    Kill the top 100 guys, and it really wouldnt slow anything down once the dust settled and bodies counted.

    Everyone would just move up to fill the gaps and business would (is) proceeding as normal. That also means they have people planning shit long term.

    Gas prices will be absolutely insane for the month or two before election. Because it means trump has to keep burning strategic reserves to not lose the House/Senate. Even if Republicans maintain majorities so they can continue the war, it places trump in a bad position for negotiations after.

    It’s a no brainer move to shit the straite down, but I guarantee no one in our government is planning for it besides insider trading.

        Ask Iranians who have left the country. Rule by religious reactionaries is hellish, wherever in the world it happens. The fact that Trump and his mob are gangsters doesn’t in any way imply that there are no other assholes in the world.
