If you quote him one more time I think he’ll understand what you mean…

It’s really the only solution to Iran. It would be a lot of bombs, though.

Probably. Serious bombing experience on this end, pretty good at it most of the time. But it does take time. Give it time.

It has been forgotten that at the beginning of the war, Feb. 28th, preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon was not one of stated reasons for attacking Iran.
That reason only was resurected days later.
Initially it was:
1.To kill their leaders.
2. To destroy their military capability.
3. Be a catalyst for a successful uprising of the population.

Then what? There was never anything presented as to "then what do we do?"

The elimination of Iran's ability to make a a nuke only was added a few days later. After "unconditional surrenderr" no longer looked like it was eassy-peasy.

Of course it wasn’t. But notice pilots here quoting just that. 121 pilots literally scared about Iran getting nukes.

It certainly wasn’t a threat for you or the crowd here prior to Feb 28. And the crowd voted for no more wars and more isolationism, which by definition means they didn’t want a war with Iran.

These boys do extortion and call it business. No nukes. Yesterday, today or tomorrow.

Even you, comrade, can see that doing 1,2,3 are just tasks to lead to the same effect.
