That brings up a good point. When do some mid grade officers finally decide enough is enough and rebel. IDK much about the Iranian army but I highly doubt that they have a strong NCO corp and since the enlisted are mostly conscripts I could see a good portion following a decent officer.

maybe Sen. Kelly and friends need to post a video for the IRGC

So you think they're giving these politicians all that money out of the goodness of their hearts? They're definitely not asking for anything right? I mean their name stands for the "American Israeli Public Affairs Committee ". They're obviously not advocating for Israeli interests? Right?

D4H,

Can you (or your AI) provide me with a list of foreign countries that spent more on lobbying than Israel?

Then can you, (or your AI), explain to me how your "America is Israel's bitch" (paraphrased) argument makes sense?

I will hang up and listen.

How many officials from the current regime will survive? We will destroy a lot of their equipment but I’m sure they will still have enough to exert power over the civilians. There’s a chain of command, unless we step in and ensure a new regime takes over, I think it is likely the same regime retains power.

The overwhelming majority of Iranians want Javid to lead during the transition and he is willing to do it.

Im still pissed Israel didnt bomb all of Gaza into a pile of rubble...use dumptrucks and dozers etc to push all the rubble in somewhere with an erosion problem...plant the blue flag and make Israel whole again.

From the river to the sea. Gaza has an area roughly 3miles X 2omiles. Smaller than many US bases in area. It has borders with Jordan AND Egypt...their Muslim brethren...and billions of dollars in food and water shipped to them from the West. The occupants have had more than enough time to GTFO. Drop fliers for a week telling them what's coming and commence demolition. Over these terrorist Jew haters and their rockets/bombs/rapes/murders/kidnapping.

Marcus, I very much enjoy your candidness and seemingly good heart as mainly a reader on here. This isn't it man. This isn't your typical demeanor. Don't let the politics cloud your judgement.

Hating Israel has nothing to do with hating Jews. The leaders of Israel are about as Jewish as Donald Trump is a Christian and Joe Biden is a Catholic.

Also you can't make Israel whole again (I assume you mean biblically), and I'm not sure how you can call the Palestinians occupants when they were there first.

Mind you I'm predicting nothing here but could you at least see something like Green Berets going in to help facilitate that sort of thing happening?

TBH I would think Mossad would be the more probable (outright likely already working on it?) group but while I think we're both on record thinking it very unlikely we'd have dedicated ground fighting groups in country it wouldn't completely crack my cranium to think we weren't willing to have some covert people "helping" with a coup.

Repeating the same lie over and over doesn’t make it true.

I don't know what his background is, but playing with oneself over the thought of turning somewhere into rubble is disgusting and wrong no matter what you are.

They’re the same people accused of child trafficking and sacrificing in the Virgin Islands.. I don’t know how anyone could expect anyone to sympathize.

Thats quite rich coming from you. Do you have a Bibi poster in your bedroom? What about my post was a lie?

I don't even mind that you support a raging Jewish supremacist like Bibi. Your parents were in the Holocaust. Makes sense that you are emotionally entangled. But to act like the deaths of thousands of children in gaza and now schools being blown up in Iran are no big deal and just gets a shrug from you is disgusting to me.

Not a fan of child murder, apparently that makes me anti-Semitic. If so idgaf.

Associated Press journalists in Beirut were jolted awake by a series of loud explosions that shook buildings and caused windows to shatter, while war planes could be heard low overhead as Israel launched a series of strikes in retaliation for missiles fired across the border by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Lebanese government officials had urged Hezbollah not to enter the fray in support of Iran, fearing another damaging war.

The country has not recovered from the last Israel-Hezbollah war, which nominally ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November 2024.

Israel has continued to launch near-daily strikes in Lebanon since then, which it said aim to stop Hezbollah from regrouping.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in a statement following the strikes said, “We will not allow the country to be dragged into new adventures, and we will take all necessary measures to apprehend those responsible and protect the Lebanese people.”

They made a big mistake firing rockets last night. Lebanon told Hezbollah to get out. Gave Israel the green light to assist. They are done with the Islamic Republic.

I wouldn't doubt that the Activity or CIA is in country now recruiting officers. I don't see SF being deployed until after a new government is in place and them being sent to train up the Army.

Anyone seen the video of one of the pilots that had to eject due to friendly fire in Kuwait? Greeted by a Kuwaiti on a beach. I think the pilot was a woman.

Yes, but how do you know if she was the Pilot or the WSO?

What I did notice was what appeared to be the lack of a sidearm (though I only watched once), which is effing wild to me.

Hate to break it to you; but we didn’t start a war this weekend. We have been at war with Iran since they killed 241 of our soldiers in Beruit in 1983. This weekend, we decided was time to finally end said war.

It's amazing how many people don't know the history of Iran in regards to death and maiming of American's.

Buddy, you literally responded to my very first post about rising attacks and damage to old churches in places like Taybeh talking about Gaza, which was so far from relevant it was literally mindblowing.

I'm very concerned with facts and truth- not literal propaganda, as you are- and know that the modern nation state of Israel is run by a "racial"-supremacist, ultranationalist lunatic wing (that's overtaken the already disastrous Likud) that opens the door for Jewish violence against, well, everyone. Israel has been no friend to the United States. It has largely been no friend to Christians. I am not obligated to support them. I am not obligated to believe in Jews as "God's chosen people". I am not obligated to celebrate my tax dollars being used for its interests. I am not obligated to ignore the history of the modern nation. I am most certainly not obligated to believe someone with very, very clear biases in favor of one side who has repeatedly made off-the-wall claims that are just as bad as the dude using AI to tell us all how the Navy works.

Why would I be scared of any "dogma" discussion? You use the word as if it's some sword that I should cower from. It's not relevant at all, and I really don't think an internet tough guy that doesn't roll on shabbas is going to have the capacity to make an impactful argument that changes anyone's mind.

I’m not your buddy, pal.
i don’t have any time to waste on a debate about the chosen people or whatever nonsense rabbit hole you’re headed
