You know what, you got me and I'm legitimately embarrassed about doing this so I need to do a mea culpa and apologize. This is something I've long attacked posters on the right for doing and I guess I got caught up in it yesterday and failed to do my due diligence like I normally do - my bad. Not all of those videos were old but some were so I will delete them. I know I'll probably still take heat for it but it's the right thing to do so F it.

But for the record, my thoughts on this war echo what national security expert Tom Nichols said:

“People predicting disaster: The odds are in your favor, but you cannot be sure, and you should not hope to be right.

People celebrating: "Maybe wanna wait a bit. The odds, historically, are definitely not on your side. Anyone certain they know what happens next is making it up.”
boy we could say that about a lot of issues.."might want to wait a bit....."

I just feel like we needed to have a plan in place for what comes after before we risked another forever war, instead of hoping the unarmed citizenry would storm the palace gates and take over, but who knows, maybe it will all work out, we'll see. If it does, I will be happy to give Trump kudos for getting rid of the biggest state sponsor of terrorism we've seen in decades, maybe ever.
Just because you (or I) don't know it doesn't mean that there isn't a plan. Its not goig to be announced!

We're on day 2 and and we're going to be smoking IRGC for the next few weeks. Regime change to "normal" would be the best outcome, and IMHO we/israel are going to try and help that along. However maybe the help we're willing to give doesn't get the job done. If it doesnt, then at least Iran will be so degraded that their capacity for shennanigans will be much, much, much less. I'm also of the opinion that after this, Israel's Mossad will be more active and more effective in Iran going forward.

I hope you're right.
