WTF Is In It For Us To Invade Iran [View all]

Someone needs to ask Krasnov that question right now.

We have learned nothing from history. What good was it for President Clinton to bomb Iraq? Good job destroying that pharmacy looking for non-existent WMD.

What good was in it for Shrub to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq?

What good was in it for President Biden to continually bomb the Houthis?

Bad things are going to happen when Krasnov bombs or even sends troops into Iran. Has anyone actually planned out a bad scenario before doing this? Iran has missiles and drones and every country that houses our military is open to attack.

Even if the present regime is ousted what guarantees are there that the people who take over will be better?

For certain the price of oil will skyrocket, Putin will love that. The price of gasoline will skyrocket which will cause inflation to rise even more.

I have a prediction that I am betting my golf clubs on, an invasion, significant bombing of Iran will be a huge mistake for the United States.

We have 2 battle groups just outside the range of Iranian missiles right now, surely the idiot isn't going to send ground troops in?
