I'm not anti-war, never have been.
I just think wars should be fought for good reasons. There really hasn't been any good reason for a war in a long time.
Invade Iran? Why? Regime Change? You can do that, but the correct way to do that is to make Iran a State once you win. If you're not prepared for "Iranian Statehood" to be a political topic, then you probably shouldn't have that war.
You just wanna do a Thunder Run to Tehran? Okay, got a good reason for it yet? Can you do it with minimal casualties? Can you do it with minimal civilian casualties? Are your friends in the international community going to be pissed at you? How does this actually benefit Americans? No, no, no, no, etc.
Okay, then you're just limited to Operation Praying Mantis 2.0 at best. Now, we go back to why. Do you have a causus belli yet?
So what the real reason? "Iran should accept the Petro-dollar and help us bankrupt America by increasing inflation."
... nope, that's still wrong.
You know Iran won't be made a state. You want war with them anyway, don't you?
No, I just edited the comment to explain why.
Give me a good reason for a war with Iran. I don't fucking see one. Best I can hear is "to prop up the American Empire's hegemony with the petro-dollar that Saudi Arabia is already our butt boys for."
That's not a good enough excuse, especially when that system is designed to bankrupt Americans anyway.
If you don't want war with them, I recommend not uncritically repeating pro-war propaganda anymore.
Like what? Iran has always looked to get a shot off on American politicians. Same way North Korea funds itself with cyber-crime.
It's just a reality of existence.
