Macgregor is a clown. Not sure how he became the way he is because he had a distinguished career.
He is absolutely dead wrong about everything when he could easily be more nuanced.
He's had Ukraine collapse in the next 30 for literally 4 years and he just keeps repeating it over and over which no acknowledgement that's he's been wrong for 4 years. He says it like it's the first time he's said it.
Now he's talking about how Iran is winning this exchange. I mean we have no idea what the endgame looks like but how can you say Iran is winning.

I honestly don’t see how the US gets the regime change they want without putting boots on the ground.
The regime is likely going to survive and be strong enough to put the population down again and kill thousands more.
Look what Israel did in Gaza and Hamas is still a thing.
There is a 30% chance you get enough defections from people with guns inside Iran to have a chance at internal regime change.
3 options are:
1.Army changes sides, new government.
2.Regime sort of survives and you get some kind of hybrid, old and new.
3.Regime survives/waits out bombing and suppresses population again through terror and mass killing.
Anyone claiming to know what will happen is foolish.
Jeb Bush video praising Trump's action.
More conformation this will be a major frick up.
Liz Cheney on deck I guess.

re: What Dirt Does Bibi Have on Trump?
Posted by Tiger985 on 3/2/26 at 7:55 pm to RollTide4Ever
He doesn't have anything on Trump. The sharp people have learned how to manipulate Trump through his need for praise.
All Bibi has to say to Trump is that if he takes the Iran regime down he will be worshipped in Iran and Israel for generations! People will name their babies after him! Imagine being loved in Iran and Israel. Line no one has ever been loved.
The tech crowd is on to this, Putin gets it, Rubio learned it. You are more likely to get what you want by praising Trump.
Trump is a sharp guy and he may see through some of it but I think it's his biggest flaw.

When have any of them bombed and killed Americans?
You keep moving the goalposts.
What will you say in a month when the regime still has control in Iran and the population has undergone another round of death at the hands of these psychos?

So your stance is that nothing should’ve been done whatsoever. A terrorist state should have been allowed nuclear weapons and should’ve been allowed to continue murdering thousands of their own citizens? This is what you want?
Do you go to sleep at night worrying about N Korea?
Should we have stopped the genocide in Rwanda or Darfur? Why aren't we bombing China tomorrow? They have killed millions of their own.
We went to war because Netanyahu wanted us to.
Stop trying to rationalize this unnecessary war or accusing those that oppose it as somehow being supporters of these Iranian butchers.
The campaign is at its peak now.
It's all downhill from here. It will become less and less popular by the day and frankly it's not that popular now. That's the politics. You can spin it any way you like but there is no way to make a rational case that this is "America First". America First is opposed to this very kind of action.
As far as the military, we will bomb the ever loving frick out of them for a month. It will not be enough to collapse the regime in Iran. The regime will hang on.
Then what? What will you say we do in 6 weeks when we have bombed Iran to shite and the regime is still in control?
It's hard to believe how so many on this board have so quickly embraced the Iran war neocons have been drooling over for decades.
We aren't taking down this country via air power alone. It's just not going to happen.
We have seen this movie before.

Check my post history. You can go back to 2015 and see how strongly I've supported Trump.
He was far and away the best candidate in every primary and general election he has participated in.
He's been elected President not twice but 3 times.
He has massively fricked up here.
It's a great thing Iranian butchers are dead but this action was a massive frick up.
Politically and militarily it's a massive frick up.

Thank you President Bush or are you Don Rumsfield?
This board is now neocon heaven.
Oh, and not a single poster has given me the number, including you.
Are you ready to die in this struggle? Maybe you are already in Ukraine fighting for Zelensky.
This is a fundamentally stupid and illogical way of viewing things when it comes to destroying pure evil.
You do know "pure evil" exists on every corner of the globe.
When do we start on eliminating pure evil across Africa and Asia?
Yall sound like Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield.
Good post.
Give me a number of American casualties, injured and dead you are willing to accept for this mission?
3? 100? 1,000? 5,000?
As a bonus, throw in how much money makes it worth it?
Everyone has a number. Just tell us yours for the record.

If someone came on this board before the election and said Trump would have us involved in a major intervention in Iran in the first 14 months of his presidency, they would have been called crazy and a liar.
The only American lives impacted by this action are going to be among the families and soldiers who end up injured or dead.
And of course the huge bill for the American taxpayer.

Correct. Rubio was a ringleader among the group on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that was actively working to destroy the 1st Trump administration.
This is a long established fact. He's a neocon that learned how to weasel himself next to Trump by kissing his arse.
Rubio is a neocon through and through.
Vance will beat Rubio because this Iran situation is going to be a mess. Yes, it's great these butchers in Iran are getting their just reward but it's absolutely going to me a huge mess for Trump and Rubio.
I think Trump really stepped in it here.
It's like saying Iraq and Afghanistan were America First. It's the same old neocon bullshite.
Venezuela and Iran were Bolton ideas going back decades. Now Rubio is great for picking up those balls? Give me a break.

Vance was right if he was opposed.
This is the same old song. Looks like a great party for a few weeks with a bunch of people slapping themselves on the back.
There are 90 million people in Iran. The idea that this is going to be smooth or easy is dumb.
You have every kind of faction in Iran. Some have weapons and some don't. Business interests, religious fanatics, different religious and political factions inside all of these groups. Outside groups and a whole lot of money washing around.
This is the peak.
This may turn out to be the 2028 political battlefield for the Republican Party.

Every single bit of information coming out from both sides should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Maybe he is dead. Maybe they think he's alive and hope the Iranians tip his location with proof of life.
They certainly would like the Iranian people to believe he's dead.
This is an AI era event where literally anything can be convincingly faked. Photos, videos, literally anything that be digitized can be faked.

Heard they hit a baby formula factory that killed a million.
Truth is no one has a clue.
We don't have any idea what the job market will look like in 4 or 5 years.
We don't know much about the next 12 months.
Colleges aren't going anywhere because they are huge money makers and it's going to take some time for people to realize they are being scammed.
The rate of change will not be comparable to anything that has happened prior.

No one kills Muslims like other Muslims.
The Iran issue hinges on where you land on one question. One question that has been debated in diplomatic circles for 50 years.
Are the people that run Iran rational actors?
I think the evidence is very strong that they are. Meaning they behave rationally and their decisions are made in a traditional cost/benefit model.
They see a nuclear weapon as security. If you have them, you have a substantial level of security. Saddam, gone. Gaddafi, gone. Assad, gone. Yet Kim Jong Un perseveres. You can go on and on.
The Iran hawks tell you if Iran gets a bomb they will immediately use to destroy Israel. They point to rhetoric from inside Iran. But it's just rhetoric mostly for internal consumption.
The Iranians are rational. They understand what use of a nuclear weapon would mean for their government. They care about power like all politicians and religious leaders.
We don't want them having a nuclear weapon but if they get one, the world will go on.
It's not worth American lives. We can manage it and so can Israel.
If Israel and Saudi Arabia have a problem with Iran let them take care of it.
Just as an aside, for all the talk about Israel pushing America to war with Iran it's just as much Saudi Arabia if not more. Greaseball Muslim shite.

Trump will be betting his whole presidency on this operation.
This rarely ends well for the politician.
I think it's a mistake. I don't think it's necessary or urgent to attack Iran.
