Our recent nation building after nation wrecking record is not very good.
JFC have you not seen by now that Trump is not Dubya?
It’s not nation building we are after. It’s shock and awe against the Iranian leadership and military forces. After that it doesn’t matter. The group that seizes power will not be interested in funding terrorism or lobbing missiles at Israel. We bring the boom and let their people sort it out.

I believe it's been pointed out that we have zero interest in nation building. Comparing Iranians to Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan is like comparing an F150 to donkey pull cart.

Very well said. The Iranian people are intelligent and hard working enough, when not suppressed, would make that country hum.

Trump has dropped the ball massively with this. That "Help is on the way" tweet killed a lot of people

Yep. The new talking points are "negotiations" and "nuclear deal". That is what I am hearing from the Trump administration.

The press is about nuclear deal. Trump admin has way more on the table.
Keep buying what news media, even alt media, is saying and you will be forever clueless.

What I saw was coming from Trump surrogates. Not the media. You need to read more closely.

I have heard Rubio. Otherwise, they are only answering questions asked by clueless press.

If tweet fails to load, click here. They are just going to keep murdering Iranian civilians up until negotiations start and probably keep doing it after they end.

I believe Trump likes the casualty totals because he can say, “look, I got 30,000 to sacrifice themselves because I told them to, that’s more than Obama or Biden.”

That’s a shibboleth. The sanctions are hurting their rulers…badly! They are depriving them of money with which they would project power. They are making their positions, and even their lives, unstable.
