I'm not an economist or a military expert, so it's important to listen to others, hear what the case is for the fact that this is going to be okay.
i think that rubio gave the clearest case for what they're doing over the weekend let's listen to it
So that, I think, is at least honest, which is unlike what they've been saying otherwise, which is that Iran was weak, which is why they went into this.
Not that Iran was an imminent threat, but that they saw them as so weak that this was the opportunity to eviscerate the regime.
Javier Greger, an Israeli analyst, quote tweeted that video and said this, perfectly said, Marco, my kids just spent a month in shelters so they won't have to spend years of their lives afraid or far worse.
Our generation's task is to get this job done.
If you have the resolve, you change the course of history.
So that is the case, I think, for the people who are like, don't turn this around, that Iran is so weak that they really can finish the job in a few weeks.
If you're Israeli, obviously that is a potentially existential opportunity or a very serious opportunity, given the scale of the threats from Iran and their proxies.
Maybe that is an opportunity because your role as world leader and, you know, who knows, prevent future destabilization.
I just I don't think that there's a ton of evidence for this, you know, particularly the way that warfare is going.
China and Russia and other countries could rearm Iran, particularly with the drone capabilities and other capabilities.
I don't know how long that's going to take.
So I think to actually achieve this, you really would need regime change, right?
the ayatollah jr is going to not continue to go after what you know weapons and that this is going to be something that is you know going to resonate for years and years to come i find that a little hard to believe but anyway that's the case if we're going to steal man their best case that's that is it
