So the IRGC and the Islamic Republic are still in place, and not only that, America is paying them to stay in place. Properly worst of both worlds lol.
So the IRGC and the Islamic Republic are still in place
American bombs killed a lot of them. We killed a lot of their wives and kids and friends and neighbors, too. We obliterated their homes and hospitals and highways, which will mean a wave of excess deaths come winter. And we killed a lot of the moderate diplomats interested in peaceful negotiations, so we’ve set the stage for wars to come.
America is paying them to stay in place.
America is paying them to replace all the shit we broke, in the hopes we can once against get access to cheap oil.
The alternative was to keep exchanging salvos - a la Russia/Ukraine - for an indefinite future period in the hopes that… ??? All the conservative Islamists in Iran will… ??? And then we can impose a new regime in Tehran at gunpoint, like we did so successfully in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Syria?
