This question is 100% a provocation. Trump got democratically elected and thousand of soldiers carried out his orders while they could have refused. Now that USA government has made his own “military special operation” are we going to be racist with americans and treat them like russians? Calling them orcs or implying the population is all shit?
We can decide to follow a world where diplomacy and international law are the base of cooperation and problem solving, or we just decide to use brute force on everyone that has views or politics we dont like. In history the last one has proved to be very dangerous cause it’s open to be interpreted in whatever way the ones in power choose. So yes, Iran it’s not in the top 10 of my favourite governments either. For me it’s not a reason to bomb it out of nowhere, because we go back to the law of the one with the most power, and as of now i wouldnt trust Trump doing whatever he feels like.
It was the change in Syria and the mountain on the boarder that Israel now controls that changed the geopolitical situation and strategy. The radar shadow of that mountain was what prevented Israel from having an opportunity to stop or influence Iran’s nuclear policy. Some deeper depth geopolitical youtubers have done uploads on this change and implications. The position will likely end up back in Syrian hands eventually… or it might. Again like I have said elsewhere, I don’t support Israel or their escalations but Iran is shit. They are supplying arms to Russia, exporting terrorism, and run by a disordered misogynistic group of men that kill in the name of fantasy and a collective imaginary friend that no one has ever had a real conversation with. That is fucking cave man level bullshit from anyone anywhere.
A lot of contries other than Iran are filled with religious extremists, including the USA themselves, but you dont see trump striking any of those countries. Again, USA is supplying arms to Israel, that they use to strike civilians to claim a land that is theirs according to a religious book. That alone in your view should be enough to strike both USA and Israel. Religion extremism, terrorism and mysoginism and such are a plague in a lot of countriest, but the USA hit the one that is the biggest threat to thei closest ally. This is just politics, classic imperialist american politics. Nothing more nothing less. And i repeat, im not a fan of Iran either. its just that we cant revert to an international scenery dominated by brute force imo.
US is not supporting Russia, but Iran is. Israel is atrocious and it would not surprise me at all if they absolutely know about Oct 7th well in advance. It was the result if their prejudice and Palestinian concentration camps before Oct 7th in either case that caused the initial attack. However it was not entirely without cause like with Russia in Ukraine. Everywhere is complicated. The USA is super polarized and in pretty bad shape, but it us not exporting suicide bombers. Is it better to target with 10 million dollar munitions remotely no, but those are not targeting crowds of people as the primary goal
