Iran has zero capability of retaliation
Discussion
Genuinely curious, why do you think that?
Because they’ve done nothing.
Years and years and years of provocation and they’ve done nothing
Here we are the next morning and they’ve still done nothing
Do you still think they have done nothing to Israel?
What have they done?
Anything comparable?
You said they would do "nothing". Israel certainly did more damage, but to say Iran had a nothing burger response is certainly not accurate in my opinion, and that was your original point.
What exactly did Iran do?
How many missiles did they fire, how many got through?
Iran got a hit on a research center, congrats. Thats not “nothing,” but it’s essentially nothing, particularly compared to what israel was able to do.
Like if you want to be obnoxious and say “something isn’t nothing,” you do you. But when something is virtually nothing, then it’s practically nothing, and that’s all that matters.
Yes, "nothing" has a clear definition, but even taking your generous interpretation and discounting the Israeli dead and wounded, billions in economic and military costs etc...
Why would Trump be pressing so hard for a ceasefire if Iran cannot do anything? Seriously what's the downside to just letting Israel do whatever they want and fully destroy Iran or at a minimum topple the regime?
What’s the downside to destroying a country and their government?
Iraq
Libya
Syria
Lebanon
You break things they don’t repair easily
Also, fuck israel
94% shot down.
I largely agree with you, but for the sake of discussion, what about the possibility that there is an assymetric aspect to this, like with the US vs Afghanistan/Vietnam where big wins are not necessary to atritte over time the financial or political resiliency of Israel. As in, Iran can "afford" to get bombed, but Israel, as a developed integrated nation cannot afford it's airports, ports, economy shut down that long.
I’d love to see a blockade of israel and to have that parasitic country take some pain.
Unfortunately the US is controlled by them and any prolonged pain would simply mean the US sends them more money
Fuck israel
Either way, the world's about to find out. I just hope against hope that it's going to be neither World War 3 nor another genocide.
I just hope Iran has the capability of nuking israel
That's the thing, 6 year old girls in a sandbox in Tel Aviv dying in a nuclear fire doesn't really solve the issue either. I think the good people of Israel would do well to depose their regime. Any civilian death in a pointless war is a tragedy in my book, doesn't matter if they're Persian, Arab, Jewish, or bloody French.
Nah.
Eradicating israel goes a long way to solving the israel problem.
Blank slate isn’t real and they’re societal poison.
Well I'm sorry man but this is exactly what the Israeli government says about the Palestinians. I can't rightly say that genocide doesn't work - because it sort of did in Rwanda - but only in the way that suicide solves all your personal problems for good. I think the root cause of the Israel problem is the bloody belligerence of the administration and the state-sponsored armed "settlers" who just invade other people's homes and don't have to fear any consequences. Zionism as a movement is essentially a relic of the late 19th century and shares its origin with ultra-nationalist and fascist movements in Europe at the time. The only reason it can continue unhindered is because of the massive support it gets from mainly the US and Europe. So cutting that would go a long way and yes, having more nuclear armed countries in the region (think Iran, Saudi, Eqypt) would also help counter-balance things. Ideally, though, all governments around the world would just give up their weapons, fuck off and leave people in peace.
Jews may be right about Palestinians.
There’s a reason why no other country will let them in.
Honestly, fuck them. I really don’t give a shit. I just don’t want American money supporting it.
But they’ve been kicked out of 109 countries for a reason. It’s genetic at this point.
Are all of them bad? No.
Enough of them that israel has to go, wholesale? Yes.
Oh well, I think what us Westerners should do anyway is not intervene and not fund any side in those various conflicts, I don't plan on going to the eastern Mediterranean at any point in time and as soon as the people who steal money from me stop sending it over there, it'd be as if the area didn't even exist from where I'm sitting, let 'em bash each other's heads in, I'd still prefer peace but it's ultimately not my concern.
Agreed.
Except it is our concern because the jews have blackmailed and bribed our politicians to the point that ZOG is real.
Once they’re executed as foreign agents all will be well again.
