So I guess the logical conclusion to that is all out total war until one side is annihilated? When you say “these people” do you include Arabs in that too or just Iranians? If so then do we declare war on the Arab gulf states too and just be done with it?

This conversation is so much more nuanced than “who won”. It’s not exactly a game of darts.
-
It’s so strange because Middle Eastern cease fires normally last so long, especially when Israel’s involved.
-
They were decommissioned 5 yrs ago.

Way too many subtopics there to respond to on here. I disagree with much of it of course but I think that’s fine.

I think it’s far too early to tell. Despite my criticism this is a great step towards a good outcome. My view is that tactically this has shown what the US is capable of once again to the world. Stuff that no other nation could even begin to dream of. But then I don’t think any of that was really in doubt. Strategically however I don’t think this has delivered anything very positive for the US (or us in the UK). It has seriously damaged almost all US strategic relations/alliances. Literally everyone has been politically attacked by POTUS and SecWar. After at least a year of bein

Well, I’d say this is a great step in the direction of deescalation and finding a diplomatic resolution. However, the Israelis need to be stopped from sabotaging it and equally the extremists in the IRGC.

So I see, Charlie Kirk would’ve been too. But I don’t spend too much time listening to them. But it is noted. Ive spent more time paying attention to people less well known I guess but from the military/intelligence community. Anyone who is walking the walk and sounds like a rational person I could actually work with in real life. People who live the core founding values of the US. Talking of which, look how quiet Tulsi Gabbard has been. The head of the entire us intelligence community!

I believe that Trump has totally f****d up with this and ultimately done untold damage to the US, the West and right wing movements, but I’m not getting too worked up about the morality of it all.

They wouldn’t feel a thing I promise.

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking? I was suggesting we could turn a blind eye to killing a load of regime fanatics that have congregated and identified themselves nicely in london.
-
There’s a war crime we could all turn a blind eye to.
-
Thank god someone on this thread actually realises this.
-
Entirely plausible, but given what’s happened since then I think there is a shit ton of motive for a state that has no limits and is very clearly leading the US by the nose here, to be the masterminds. This war has given the Israel assassination theory a heap of credibility.
-
And he’d have been a massive opponent to this war and being influenced by Israel.
-
Makes you wonder who was behind Charlie Kirk’s killing with what’s happened since then… Before all this I was probably broadly a supporter of Israel. Now I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could chuck them.
-
Who knows at this point. His language implies that. However even this deep I’d hope sense would prevail. If the yanks used a nuke then that would be them completely isolated and force the rest of the developed world into the hands of china and India imo. I think even the gulf states would isolate them as they would bare the brunt of the fallout. Considering the professional opinion of the US intelligence community was that Iran was not developing a nuke, in fact there was even a fatwa against it, then nuking them would not be judged by the world or history as justified.

I see this shit everywhere now . Kms of palisade fencing along a railway line bounded by fields instead of cheap wire and signs because god forbid a kid gets on it. Traffic lights on a low traffic country road because people walking down the canal footpath might not be able to get across quick enough with half a f***ing mile of visibility either way!
-
Thanks. All I can say is we’re managing. But child care is a good example, the nursery we use will send him back to us for the slightest excuse. Shit like they wouldn’t even wipe gunk out of his eye without our permission. It’s mental and driven by this paralysing fear of causing harm. It’s costing this country tens of billions id guess and is endemic.

Without going into too much detail, my current job is developing and launching digital products in the global construction industry. I’m working with partners in the industries of the UK, Nordic’s, western and southern Europe, North America, Aus, Middle East. The UK is by far the most overly regulated market I deal with. Countries that we would look to as our societal superiors like the nordics do not have to deal with the regulations that we do.

We’re 18th out of over 200 countries! That’s not “very low” imo. The problem we have in this country is regulation. We’ve got huge industries built around our national fear of some c**t stubbing their toe on a non compliant traffic cone etc. we’ve created so much waste out of fear that we now have no money or the bureaucratic freedom to do anything constructive about it. We could spend more but we need to get over this paralysing fear that makes us turn a 10k job into a 500k “programme”.

We’re getting worryingly close to finding out the answer to the Fermi paradox!
-
Part of what I think is confusing so many people on this, including the administration at large, is that tactical victories do not equal strategic success. We’re seeing this in Iran, the US has demonstrated an onslaught of tactical masterpieces and yet the strategic outcome is looking far worse than the day before they engaged in bombing the shit out of them. Contrary to supporting the up rising it’s probably caused them to rally around the flag against the US.

He’s completely out of his depth now. I genuinely wonder if the job has taken a toll on his mind, which would be completely understandable for a man of his age. For a president that was playing quite tactically on the international stage he has just gone completely off the rails with this. Childish levels of strategy imo.
-
He’s trapped himself on the escalatory ladder now and imo is showing his lack of experience. Up until this Iran war I thought his foreign policy was pretty much bang on in a way that former presidents had not managed. He’s played this terribly imo. And the consequences could be very severe and long lasting for the US and consequently the western world. What an absolute disaster.
