Same old same old. There isn’t going to be peace there as long as Iran remains the “Islamic Republic”. Oh, they may talk about it, and if they’re hurt enough, they may even play nice in the sandbox until they rebuild, but there will never be peace. I don’t care who you are, you can never be friends with someone whose whole and stated purpose is to kill you. The only thing they respect is pure, brute force. We should “arc light” every military/IRG corps site in the country, take out all their leadership and then, Maybe then you’d be able to get folks in charge who didn’t want war, but only maybe…

I still don’t understand why we haven’t turned Karg island into a smoking heap and turned off ALL the electricity by knocking out every single power plant. They are going to play games as long as the lunatics are in charge. To “win” they have to be completely decapitated. For Iran to “win” they just need to still be alive when it’s over. Until and unless we accept this reality they are going to continue to FA.
