trump could care less on the outcome. The question now should Biden telegraph the military that under NO circumstances this should be done and people will be held accountable if something were to happen.
Bombing Iran will start the dominoes falling andfinal outcome will make COVID look like a walk in the park

I agree with you that if Trump takes military action in Iran, we'll have a truly dangerous situation with global implications.
Imagine a reversed situation: A Republican president-elect starts enacting their foreign policy before the Democratic incumbent has finished their term. How would you feel about that?
Oh, wait. That's exactly what Reagan did-- with Iran!-- to subvert President Carter's foreign policy and election.

(6,265 posts)declare some kind of 'national emergency-threat' to stay in power. To overstate the importance of the shadow president Stephen Miller in all these actions-policies, from forcibly taking children from their parents and putting the children in cages at the border to this very day, is impossible. Iran has been a thorn in his racist side from the beginning. Hope he does not start WW3.

(4,726 posts)I mean, you technically could, but unlike Afghanistan or Syria, Iran has extremely capable air defense systems from Russia and China; a B-52 would be a big fish in a very small barrel to them.
Any actual strike would be multirole jets like F-15s or -16s going in low and fast, like the Israelis did to Osirak back in the 80s. Or, we'd just make a distraction while they did the deed, they certainly don't have any aversions to moves like that.
