Wish it didn't come to this, but at this point I can only hope the strikes are successful - nothing good can come out of another fanatic regime with nukes.

- TimorousBestie 1y agoNothing good has come out of Israel’s nuclear program, either. But the era of nuclear disarmament is long over.
- mupuff1234 1y agoRegardless, the world is gonna be a better place with a non nuclear Iran.

- VagabundoP 1y agoUS/Israel hegemony is causing massive instability and chaos. Its driving countries to pursue nuclear weapons as its the only way to ensure you're not at the whims of authoritarian and fundamentalist regimes. I can see an fundamentalist US president at some point and Israel is certainly not become any more secular or moderate, and their democracy is sliding down the toilet bowl.

- thomassmith65 1y agoI hope we wind up with the best case, which would be the collapse of the regime followed by the return of Reza Pahlavi. I'd rather not consider the worst case, because I imagine it's global in scope.

- thomassmith65 1y agoThat doesn't make any sense in this context. The failed, theocratic pariah state that is Iran, was the result, in part, of 'Western destabilization'. It will be more like an 'undo' when the Iranian people finally overthrow the regime.

- cherry_tree 1y agoIf the Iranian people overthrow the regime I agree; that’s not what you are saying though. You are suggesting that Israel should overthrow the regime. You must understand from the last 20+ years of history that this would not be productive.
- thomassmith65 1y agoYou are suggesting that Israel should overthrow the regime. My conception of how Iranians would overthrow their government doesn't involve Israeli soldiers invading Iran, or a full-fledged war. My hope is, given the precarious state that Iran already is in, that an expensive and embarrassing failure - such as the destruction of its nuclear facilities - might be the final straw. I agree that a regime change could turn out to be a disaster, but if Pahlavi is as prepared for the event as he claims, then it could be fantastic.

- TimorousBestie 1y agoI don’t know if there are any “good guys” left. Maybe there are some countries too small and remote to matter on the international scale, like Iceland and New Zealand.
- owebmaster 1y ago> I don’t know if there are any “good guys” left. I would include Brazil in the list. And other south American countries. We are quite peaceful with the exception of some drugs war. But when the US is too busy, that problem goes away.
- thomassmith65 1y agoHalf of Iran would disagree with that, and it's the younger, more liberal half.
- vFunct 1y agoNot after Israel conducts this attack. No one in Iran supports Israel, young or old.

- mupuff1234 1y agoThat's a pretty strong claim given the amount of Iranians in exile who hate the Iranian regime. Have any data to back that up?
- arandomusername 1y agothe only reason Iran wants nuclear weapons is because Israel has them.
