No democracy, no nation building. So what is the actual goal here? Just to shoot stuff for its own sake?
Now I’m hearing that the commanders all gave their troops a speech about doing this for God and Christianity, etc., so it seems like the primary motivation was to kick off the End Times for the religious freaks.
So we’re in it until The Rapture. Our entire world has to burn down to satisfy the fantasies of delusional religious weirdos. How about we Rapture the entire MAGA leadership, and move on?
Call it whatever you want…just…make them stop…
I am an atheist, but if heaven and hell exist, they should know, there is enough space in hell for them.
No god worth worshipping would condone their actions. I stand by the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, that I will live a moral life and reject any god that has a problem with it. Killing to kill is the mandate of an evil god.
I understand. Whenever one of these psychopaths assume room temperature, I’m always slightly sad that I don’t believe in their mythology.
When Dick Cheney croaked, I remember thinking that it would be really nice to be able to smile at the thought of him having his Welcome Orientation in Hell. Instead, I was just sad for the person who didn’t get a heart because Cheney took it.
He just wasn’t getting that same high exploding South American fishermen anymore.
Tolerance is a hell of a drug.
Also, bold move to more or less openly defy the American ideals. The moral justification for a lot of what we’ve done is to further the cause of democracy. I don’t think starting a war to bring democracy is necessarily the right decision, but starting a war and not even trying to spread democracy with it is un-American (derogatory)
I thought the whole reason for this was the fact that Iran has killed and imprisoned record numbers of protesters. That sounds to me like regime change is the goal here, but perhaps I’m wrong.
I certainly don’t think they’ll ever succeed in bringing democracy (US track record is atrocious there), but at least it’d be nice if they pretended to try.
“real man” cosplay.
Blow shit up so Iran can’t attack back for the next generation.
Balkanization I think, but I don’t think that will happen because Iran has been a pretty cohesive country for thousands of years. So I suspect Trump will back down, or there will be a multi decade regional war, or there will be a world war.
