We can't exit from from someplace we never entered pinhead
Exit strategy?
- Thread starter Jarod
- Start date
Why?
There is an exit strategy, but it's a fantasy. Trump believes the Iranians will rise up and take over their government then make Trump a hero and the world's greatest peacemaker. He's blinding himself to the fact that authoritarian regimes do not collapse quietly. Especially when they've had almost 50 years to prepare.
You can do better than that... maybe...
And trillions....it is both blood and treasure.
My understanding is that we killed something like a half million Iraqis.
Have you ever seen Legina the Snitch Bitch contribute anything except trolling and snark to a thread? Ever?

This is the correct answer.
There are no "boots on the ground".
Nothing has been "entered".
No boots on the ground means no regime change something like 97% of the time.
What are we doing....what is the theory of success here?
So it was ok to bomb Syria and Yemen because they were weak but Iran isn't?
Or is it that they were truly Evil, but Iran isn't? Did we have an exit strategy when we dropped bombs from high above before?
This is a bipartisan American habit: presidents keep using force without real declarations of war, and each side suddenly rediscovers constitutional limits only when the other party is in charge.
The military-industrial complex is real.
So is the political hypocrisy that protects it.

From everything I can tell - I don't think there is a concrete exit strategy.
I've heard several different goals, but "regime change" seems to be near the top of the list. On that front, all I have heard is the "hope" that the Iranian people will take matters into their own hands and create a new government.
If that's the case - it's pretty naive. It could happen, but it's not a plan to think it will.

The Constitution is well over.
The Audacity of Hope
Yes. And it will be better than Joe Biden's
Our airplanes did not enter Iraq? Our bombs did not enter Iraq?
yes - the constitution is doing a shit job of protecting your interests today
but sadly, this was true for many people in the past as well. it has never been perfect

Iranians can now 'seize the day' and take control of their government.

Airplanes and bombs are not "boots on the ground", Jarod.
Ah, no, nor any plans for the future, post war
