The Choice America Now Faces in Iran
The Choice America Now Faces in Iran
Iran’s large-scale attack on Israel presents the United States with the chance to achieve a set of long-standing objectives.
You're viewing a single thread.
Something Cohen doesn't address is what getting the U.S. directly involved in a war with Iran would look like so close to Election Day in the U.S. It could hurt Harris' chance for victory, and I would argue that keeping Trump out of the White House is far more important than taking advantage of a weak moment to hamstring Iran's nuclear program.
However, I do have to say I agree that it would be great if we could somehow deal a heavy blow to Iran that cripples it further both militarily and economically. The article mentions American refueling aircraft improving the strike distance of Israeli attack fighters, which seems like an indirect way to get involved. I'm wondering if American intelligence agencies can cooperate with Mossad to successfully cripple Iran's nuclear program, but they're likely already sharing intel on that front.
At the end of the day, it's imperative the U.S. doesn't get directly involved. I personally would like to see the U.S. give Israel fewer blank checks in the form of raw arms for Netanyahu to use on hospitals and refugee camps, but we should still endeavor to find ways to help Israel hit strictly military and terrorist targets. Destroying Hamas and Hezbollah, and disarming Iran is in the interest of peace in the entire region.
It's not. Stop war mongering. Stop advocating for the death of people that only exist because we killed their parents.
You, specifically, are why the vast majority of people on earth hate America and Americans.
LOL, advocating for targeted strikes against military targets in nations already hell-bent on the destruction of the U.S. and its allies isn't warmongering, it's simply acknowledging that we have to fight back against those who are actively striving to harm us.
And I, specifically am the reason "the vast majority of people on earth hate America and Americans?" What a joke. Get out of your little Anti-American bubble.
Yes. Yes you are the reason why people are anti-american. Kinda difficult not to be when the only place outside the "anti-american bubble" is far up some American ass.
I can't help someone with such a tiny worldview.
Imagine being told by an American that my world view is tiny.
You’re the one demonstrating it.
They want to destroy us BECAUSE OF OUR ACTIONS AGAINST THEM. The kids shouting death to America lost more than you will ever have to lose exclusively due to Americans like you waging wars of terror.
Which actions are you speaking of, specifically?
Oh, it's your first day on earth, I'm sorry. The US war on terror, and the hundreds of invasions and interventions and special military operations in the middle east before that must be new to you.
Which were all prompted by 9/11 and various other terrorist attacks on the U.S. and its allies.
You can trace the line of cause and effect back as far as you want. Who you think are the “good guys” be the “bad guys” in this will always be biased.
That guy you’re talking to is a whack job. So many like him on Lemmy lol
Yeah, unfortunately Lemmy is a magnet for far leftists and anti-American extremists. It’s got the opposite problem of some other social media platforms.
I don’t mind it at the end of the day. They make themselves pretty obvious, and once you realize what they are, they’re pretty pathetic.
Yeah it’s like swatting gnats on this platform.
The US deserved 9/11, it actively provoked it.
See? I knew you were a terrorist supporter. Which group are you a part of?
Cute, but no I don't support the US.
Could you, like, not advocate crippling a country's economy of who's civilians are already struggling?
You want Iran to no longer be a threat? Than help Iran change. Especially the younger generations are quite sick and tired of living in an oppressive, religious regime and would like to very much see it gone. But they don't have the resources to actually do anything beyond the occasional riot.
I worked with someone who worked in intelligence for 30-ish years. from discussions they and I had you're absolutely spot on. in-fact they warned me that once things in Israel begin to heat up prepare for a war to accelerate with Russia.
this new development isn't surprising and I'm sure there are already gears in motion to reduce impacts on the election.
it's funny because it's clearly the Iranian government's goal to influence the American election because it's all they've been doing for the past six months.
this can only mean one thing, the axis of power that is attempting to drag the west into a war does not want Harris in office. this only makes me vote for her even more.
