Yes
Yes.
Iran is losing capability to launch anything each and every day.
Would you trust Matt Walsh?
So every single time they were on the "brink" of a functional nuclear weapon, they got shut down militarily? Every single time going back 30 years?
Netanyahu's recent remarks about the conflict line up perfectly with that clip montage of him.
Netanyahu risks American support for Israel with war against Iran
By enlisting the U.S. in Israel’s battle against Iran, Netanyahu is taking a gamble that risks testing Israel’s already fraying ties with the American public.www.pbs.org
I'm not sure what video you're referencing, but of course they're trying to develop nuclear weapons. That's the only thing that keeps North Korea and Russia safe, so why wouldn't they want some of their own when they're getting constantly messed with and threatened? They say "Death to America" and we threaten to destroy them. We say "Death to Iran (i.e. regime change)" and they threated to destroy us. This stupid cycle of violence doesn't help any of either countries' citizens, and only serves to line the wallets of the military-industrial complex.
No.
No.
Whattaboutism aside, a lot of our military spending is also 'gifts for foreigners' that doesn't actually make us safer.
That's not what you said, or what is implied by what you said.
Whataboutism.
The Iranian people already have an army, the Artesh. If it is loyal to him, it needs to take control from the IRGC.
The problem is that the Artesh is not loyal to him. Most of it at least. The dude has not had any power in Iran for 40+ years. There is basically nobody left supporting him aside young protesters.
The only way to take power from the IRGC is with an army. The people won't be able to do it on their own. So let's hope that behind the scenes, agreements are being made with high ranking commanders in the Artesh, be they to support Pahlavi or some other interim leader that is unaffiliated with the Ayatollahs.
And that's the thing - unless Pahlavi is doing that, there is no chance he can gain power again. Considering that he would rather travel to EU to give a press conference...I am not sure about that. He might become another Machado. You need swords that are local to Iran. Foreign troops won't be able to prop him up. So let's how it is going to develop. I think when bombings conclude, there will be another message to rise and take over. If the iranians won't do that, it is truly over for the current Iran.
Knowing France the government probably protested because we know the shitshow that happens when US does something .
If after all these years, if all Pahlavi has to show the Iranian people are empty words, then he'll go down in history as a monumental disappointment. I am holding on to the hope that there are undercover actors inside Iran, people with actual connections to power, working in parallel to him. If they exist, it makes complete sense for them not to reveal themselves.
Thank you. I hope we can now lay to rest the argument circulating in this thread that the Iran nuclear program is just another "Iraq WMD" scare tactic. That argument is simply wrong.

Did you read my lengthy post, including the link provided? Your argument that Netanyahu has been crying wolf for decades is, as far as I'm concerned, debunked.
So you're saying the IAEA were lying in 2003-5?
Who's been doing that recently, besides Iran?
Then in what way has Netanyahu been crying wolf for decades?
Considering is different from doing. And if they do decide to do it, I'll agree it's incredibly risky and has failed repeatedly in the past.
He's a politician, and his job is looking out for Israeli interests. I've already acknowledged that he's prone to exaggerating for his own political gains and that I don't approve of the man, personally, but he's still acting within his right as PM and within the margin that most politicians operate in. There is truth behind his point of view, even if you don't like the way he tries to sell it. And ultimately, he does have a more complete picture of what's actually happening in the region than any journalist.
The modern information age makes it more important to become more educated with history. There have been too much "alternative history" these last years. Things that have denied common sense and centuries of history.
To be fair, what do you expect him to do? After the recent developments in EU and in the world, it has become apparent that EU does not have much power and within EU there is a fracture too. The german prime mininster has become especially humble after his trip to China. And depending what will happen in Iran, the whole South Asia region power balance will change too.What a pussy
There has been too much BRICS, new Axis etc. whatever talk. And in the end it turned into arabs joining forces with Israel, where even Cucker confused with Qatar being against Iran.
The problem is that there is not many alternatives - you need someone to take power. Like Julani in Syria - even if he was a part of ISIS, then went from pro-ISIS to pro-Al Qaeda fighting ISIS and Assad...At least Syria is stabilizing in some shape or form. Foreign troops are out of question - they won't be able to hold power for long. You need local powers there.
