The problem with the current posture is that there is a million reasonable reasons for the current course.
Unfortunately some of those reasonable reasons are huge signs of weakness. I dont believe for a second we are out of bombs but the current behavior feeds that narrative to the sandnigger mind. Compassion and mercy and temperance are weakness to sand niggers. They dont have Christian virtures and will not respond in kind.
Trump is not bloodthirsty, he doesnt want to kill off a bunch of Iranians. We will not get bridge and power plant day unless they actually do some major shit. That also basically locks in the war market and removes Iran from oil markets entirely.
The "he wont do anything because Charles" has moved "he wont move because Xi" whats the next excuse? Meeting with Africa?
Also this Pakistan shit has gotten old. They keep making requests while delivering nothing.
At this point it is clear the next set of iran leadership needs to be killed. The current crop cant make a deal, you keep killing them till one learns to say yes.
The whole "its letting them rebuild" shit seems wrong to me. Letting them reassemble focal points of leadership and resources creates new things to bomb.
Welcome to the middle east. No one actually wants to change the status quo because they're afraid of a) muh markets and muh unknown b) muh oil or c) got to keep the hajis happy or they will do another 9/11 or what the Palestinians have been doing since '48. The real problem is that no one wants to do what NEEDS to be done. Instead we have decided to kick the can down th road and when they eventually blow up like they did on Oct 7 2023, try to close the proverbial Pandora's box. This is what biden, obama, dems and the euros don't understand. The status quo is unintendable. Yes bibi is a prick who's willing to fuck up everything for personal power, but at the end of the Arabs aren't doing anything to help themselves (Christ they listened to arafat and Hamas even though they can never realistically achieve their goals).
True "rebuilding" will only occur when the band-aid is ripped off and change is forced. You have these fancy experts with fancy degrees who are out of touch with reality. They believe it really is the "liberal world order" and that everyone still wants to buy blue jeans and thinks like its the Regan era. Trust me I have a bunch myself. They push muersheimer and fukyma like they aren't stupid hacks.
The uncomfortable truth is this: everyone who matters knows iran is a terror state, the israelis are technically correct but never do things to actually help their position and their "fuck you in right and you know I am" attitude doesn't exactly make friends in liberal areas even though the israelis are correct. The Saudis don't care about the Palestinians and the Saudis will be in competition with the UAE soon.
Lebanon is a failed state that needs to be broken up or thrusted back into civil war and Hezbollah just needs to be removed. Egypt, turkey, jordan and Algeria are shadows of what they once were. Look in short since definitely the 1978 iranian revolution and even more so since the arab spring, the middle east has perverably been stuck in the interwar period.
Also even though he killed a bunch of Vietnamese and Cambodians Kissinger along with Teddy Roosevelt and Trueman were the only person who knew how to put America first. Not Regan, not Trump, not vance.
You have to put your foot down and say "no" and be willing to back it up with overwhelming force. Not "we bomb them from the air". I mean we send the troops in and put a gun to their head.
Hamas takes Americans hostage? Move over Israel the 101st airbone in landing in gaza city.
The euros wont put ships through the straight? Well now every ship has a us escort and American sorties. Still scared? Fuck it, we will guarantee your safety. Iran won't listen to us? We will kill your leaders until you do and park troops on your (land) border. Your people won't start a rebellion? Fuck it's CIA and mossad fun time sponsored by us air power.
You bomb our allies because you're iran and you need be show you're a big man? RIP Iranian export ports.
You want to kick the mullahs out? We will need to do iraq 3 the sandbox returns. But it will require a gulf war/korea/ww2 level of commitment. We need to break their ideology in the same way we broke fascism as a realistic ideology. We cannot do this with airpower alone, we can not have a "mcwar" where "shit happens over there and not over here". Because one day we will wake up and iran will be bombing our shit like the Japanese did in 1941.
Israel ignored the problem and got Oct 7th. We ignored the issue and got 9/11. What will happen when we ignore the issue and they have the actual abilities of the state?
