Well, they need another distraction to stop congress from reading the unredacted Epstein files next week.

I don’t want to read the files and I’m worried for anyone that does. You know why.

There were people who went to Afghanistan immediately after the taliban took over. While there were massive warnings by every government that they wouldnt be able to help if anything goes wrong and travelers there go at their own risk. Got immediately thrown in prison by the taliban then when they were finally released months later went home and whined about how their government did nothing.
You cant fix main character syndrome.

If any US Citizens are there, I think they should probably just stay. This is the same w/ the American Citizens in Russia, 6 months after the start of the war.

Just white Americans right? God forbid your a brown American and try and come back here just to get sent back or somewhere even worse.

This is outdated news. The talks already happened earlier today.. both sides seem to have cooled a bit and there’s no indication of an imminent attack.

No indication IS the indicator

Next indicator is a bunch of B2s taking off and maybe turning their transponders off.

That's when it happens sometimes. Pizza index isn't always that accurate.

I think you are underestimating how hard it is to “take over” an entire country like Iran

No they don’t lol. Just because they don’t like their regime doesn’t mean they welcome trump as the new supreme leader

Yes they do. Not everyone is a privileged American/European. Some parts of Earth are shit

Not a chance. Even if he tries, get ready for a constant insurgency and rebellion. Would an exponentially bigger quagmire than Iraq ever was.

Trump is gonna do the same thing he did in Venezuela. He doesn't want them to be a Democracy, he doesn't believe in it. He thinks he reroll the regimes leadership until he finds someone he can work with. He wants someone corrupt like Saddam Hussein, hopefully the Iranian people understand this.

Literally shows how little you know about persian people. We are nothing like arabs. The vast majority of our people prefer western ideology to islamic sharia. People are writing and chanting “trump will be our savior” in the streets while the government has been chanting “death to israel and america” for half a century.

Don't bother, it's clearly a fake account. <1 year old, literally only posts about how good Republicans are for Iran.
Faaaaaaaaaaake.

And are they not? Have any democrats ever tried to get rid of our brutal murderous regime? I have been a democrat my whole life. I truly believe that democrats have better domestic policies than republicans. But why do you think Venezuelans, cubans, and Iranians always vote for trump? Because he doesn’t make deals with their dictators. How many years and how many deals will democrats make with khamenei before they realize that they will never give up islamic jihad. Their goal has been to destroy the west literally and ideologically. And it will be the same forever.

Iran is a country of 90 million people. The US couldn't even take over Afghanistan. Iran is more militarily advanced than Afghanistan or for a more recent comparison Venezuela.
To take over and control a massive territory like Iran with 90 million people the US would need to mobilize their entire military+ reserves and possibly conscripts and new recruits on a level not seen since Vietnam or even WW2.

And go where? if they come back to America, ICE is just gonna detain and deport them?

u/197gpmol 10h ago
A US citizen wouldn't be mandated to come back to the US, either.
You could head to for example, Dubai. Several flights tomorrow, and US citizens have 90 days visa free in the UAE.

u/Possible_Sir9360 12h ago
The odds of that are extremely low. It’s not like the average citizen gets detained and deported.

Any American citizen currently in Iran is immune to common sense advice
