Not a bad post but classic western viewpoint. Close to the Israeli idea of "mowing the grass" in Gaza every few years.
How well has that sort of thinking done for us for about 4 decades now?
You do know Israel created Hamas as a counterweight to the PLO. And that most of the infrastructure including tunnels was built by Israel. Curious for an "existential battle situation" eh?
Instead of trying to keep it a forever war for the delight of Raytheon and friends, we look at the SOURCE?
The nuclear genie is already out of the bottle.
What the whole world sees is having a nuclear weapon keeps America mostly out of your business. See North Korea as a frankly hazardous nuclear power.
We remember Kobar towers (and what American defense reason we stationed Marines there? OH! to Project Power and PROTECT our Greatest Ally)
Iran remembers that England and America deposed their elected leaders for a western allied Shah. I checked British Petroleum did far more profit during the Shah years than before. War IS a racket. Follow the money someone smarter than I said.
If you check the dates and geography, you might find that EVERY ATTACK on "US Forces" in this 4 decade episode was within geographically CLOSE RANGE of Iran.
Staying inside the chain range of a junkyard dog seems kind of foolish? Throwing rocks and peeing in its face just outside that range seems less than smart.
SNIP Netanyahu has been warning Iran is close to a nuke since 1992
33 YEARS warning in a few weeks, months and WHAT?
But Suxnet... SNIP Stuxnet is a powerful computer worm that was designed by U.S. and Israeli intelligence to disable a key part of the Iranian nuclear program1. It exploited a vulnerability in the Siemens software of Iran's nuclear computers, causing their Uranium enrichment centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility to rotate out of control and eventually explode2. Stuxnet was highly complex and targeted Iran's clandestine nuclear program from 2007 until its cover was blown in 2010 by computer security researchers3. It rewrote the playbook for cyber warfare and left missiles, spies, and Hollywood plotlines looking amateurish
Then they removed that virus and improved cyber security by Air gapping (no direct internet connection).
SNIP Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, issued a fatwa against the acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons12. This fatwa dates back to the mid-1990s and was issued in response to claims of Iran producing nuclear weapons
They have had the ability to build a dirty bomb in 1967 SNIP Iran received its first 5 MW research reactor, known as the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), powered by highly-enriched uranium (HEU), in 1967
NEVER USED ONE in any "Terror Attack" in what 58 Years......
Weird people, eh? Almost like their religious beliefs PREVENTED them from doing it, eh?
Jefferson said a lot about no entangling alliances and doing commerce with all.
So did George Washington. Maybe they knew something about Europe’s constant war issues.
We’ve made a profitable alliance with the House of Saud for how many decades? Funny how they are head chopping Muslims, yet they are NOT Our Problem.
Maybe an apology to Iran and dropping 4 decades of Finacial Warfare against them as well as telling our "Greatest Ally" to fight their OWN F*ing wars.
Iran might leave us alone, maybe like Vietnam become a trading partner?
OR maybe like so many other "Regime Changes" like ahem Iraq with Saddam, Noreiga in Panama, Kaddafi in Lybia (YEAH, we trained and installed them)
WE might get a Crazy to actually BUILD and deploy Nukes in some revenge blood feud thing...
