Gen-Z you thought we’d forgotten about you, but we managed to sort it out last minute! Enjoy your Middle East Theatre.
AIPAC involved no doubt.
They can be in the first wave then. Put your money where your mouth is.
The people who want this have their money in Raytheon and Halliburton. So, in a way, they are putting their money where their mouth is.
Beat me to it.
These people probably care as much about the ROI as anything else
I would argue that they care about the ROI more than anything else. Always has been
Got problems at home? Time to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran…
Got problems overseas? Time to Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran…
Look how it easy it is to solve problems, when your ass isn’t on the front lines! /s
If the only tool you have is a hammer…
It shows what a failed kind of people they are, both intellectually and ethically, if the only language they speak is violence.
Going into a war with Iran will set the entire region ablaze. The only thing the Iraq war did, was increasing influence for Iran. The only thing the Afghanistan war did, was a 20 year sabbatical for the Taliban.
The US surely can destroy major Iranian infrastructure like oil production and probably cripple its conventional military capabilities. But then what?
In the process Iran would destroy the oil production of US allied nations.
We would see years if not decades of Iraq style insurgencies.
Tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of people would become refugees, with the pressure on Europe easily having the potential to break the Union and turn the states into full blown fascist hellholes. Russia would use the distraction and the high oil price income to deliver the final blow to Ukraine.
China could feel emboldened or threatened to push for its military ambitions in the South China sea and Taiwan.
Justified hatred for the US in all of the Middle East would be ensured for another three generations to come.
The resulting global economic crisis would plunge large swaths of Americans and Europeans into poverty (and many more people around the world, that the West doesn’t care for unfortunately).Meanwhile i don’t see anything positive coming out of it. I don’t see how it would stabilize the region in the long run, help economic development or create conditions under which better diplomatic ties grow.
Remember when people thought Trump was crazy for trying to go to war with Iran? Choosing the lesser evil everytime in “democratic” elections has got us to this.
Maybe Harris and Biden want to start a war so they can benefit from a spike in approval just before the election.
