Masses of Persians celebrating the death of the tyrant in Iranian futures & American cities.

And some great memes!

Must admit.....didn't expect such a response ,

Although the United States has been very unpopular in Pakistan for many years.

Pakistan hid Osama bin Laden for a significant time.

So to the extent one thinks its wise to avoid nuclear proliferation amongst the islamic states, then terminating an Iranian nuclear program is an imperative. Iran gets nuclear capability, then one of two things have to happen = either WE extend our nuclear protection umbrella over the entire Persian Gulf region, or we allow other Persian Gulf powers to have nuclear weapons. That's a "choose your poison" situation which can only be avoided by ending the Iranian nuclear program. And it is manifestly apparent that the only way to achieve a change in Iranian policy on nuclear weapons is to change the regime in Teheran. Ergo why we see Trump doing what he's doing. It's the logical, least-risk choice.


Actually, this attack is the worst case scenario from a nuclear non proliferation perspective as it will convince many more governments to take the North Korean line: 'we have to have them to guarantee that our government will not be overthrown by the US.'

Nothing about this is like the Gulf War. Iran as a nation state has already hit back harder than Iraq did. Iran is an actual country, with 4x the population and 6x the land mass of Iraq. It's not just lines on a map drawn up by the British in the 1900s.

So if this fails to effect "regime change", what next?

Do you think we're getting accurate casualty counts? Or are some of these deaths going to be called "MIA" indefinitely like the Ukrainians are doing? Or maybe training accidents?

Yeah, that's my point. We have done more this war in 24 hours than we did against Iraq in two weeks.

Gulf War was not regime change. It was removing Iraq from Kuwait. After Gulf War, a no fly zone was set up and maintained which kept Saddam under control. 219 died during Gulf War and enormous environmental damage from oil fires. It was not totally clean and easy.

Well, we will see. Venezuela may have given Donald a false sense of security. We will see what the follow up moves are. Not Donald's strength. Hope someone thought this out beyond the sound bites. What are the mission objectives? When do they know what success is or isn't? Not hearing much on that.

Not criticism, just discussion now that the initial stage is over.

If the pieces were in place for regime change, I think we would know by now. At some point it will dawn on us that Iran has more staying power and we need a back-up plan to make them stop retaliating. That's when it will get interesting.

To be exact. Initial contact. Initial contact is over, we made our moves. Iran has now started their moves and will be reaching a re-load point, what adjustments are made? EVERY plan does not go as planned, it is the nature of conflict. Not a value judgement, what has DoD have planned?

Doubtful

Most countries do not have the money or cowed locals to produce such weapons.

For all the focus on nuclear weapons of mass destruction.........

chemical weapons and germ warefare are far cheaper , just as deadly ....and easier to deploy without being tracted back to the user.

so, starting w/ that.....

and basically no Iranian air defenses, and the ability to drop a precision missile down a chimney stack....

D!

edit: I would guess the IRG are 'dead enders'.... so that will be the biggest obstacle. W/ literally millions of enemies out for blood revenge, they don't have any where to go.....

anyway - just my dos centavos - certainly not a War College guy.

Not to worry. It is in fact a 96-hour plan.

Well, we will see. Venezuela may have given Donald a false sense of security. We will see what the follow up moves are. Not Donald's strength. Hope someone thought this out beyond the sound bites. What are the mission objectives? When do they know what success is or isn't? Not hearing much on that.

Not criticism, just discussion now that the initial stage is over.

initial stage is not over - 3 days was - more or less - the initial phase.

this has been war gamed and planned out for a loooong time.



ok, let me re-phrase. I keep forgetting this Board can require very exact wording from select people. So...

To be exact. Initial contact. Initial contact is over, we made our moves. Iran has now started their moves and will be reaching a re-load point, what adjustments are made? EVERY plan does not go as planned, it is the nature of conflict. Not a value judgement, what has DoD have planned?

ISR knows where everything / everyone is.

so, starting w/ that.....

- UF

and basically no Iranian air defenses, and the ability to drop a precision missile down a chimney stack....

D!
