I believe we should bomb or cyber attack the Iranian factories that build drones.

[fightforfreedom]

I am tired of the Iran government and their bullshit. It is being reported Iran has sent drones and trainers to Russia. We should semd a message to Iran. Stay the fuck out of the Ukraine war.

Putin is trying to turn Ukraine into a wasteland. Iran is helping them do that.

1. How about a special ops team accidentally smoking a cigarette next to the factory?

I don't think we can get away with bombing the damn place.

But what's wrong with having a smoke on the factory floor at 3am?

3. If we allow this to escalate, it will get worse.

The US, Nato, have to make a decision. They are destroying the electric grid. They are mining a dam that can flood a huge part of Ukraine. They have control of a nuclear power plant. If we allow Iran or any country help Russia, things will get worse.

9. I'm all in. But how do we do it?

[sarisataka]

2. Irony...

Bomb a country to stop them from supplying weapons to a war that we are supplying weapons to.

I don't suppose you are in the Air Force? Or do you want others to put their asses on the line?

[fightforfreedom]

4. Your post makes no sense.

[sarisataka]

15. Apologies for the typo

It should be more clear now

[Sogo]

20. Correct.

Our justification to bomb them would become someone else's justification to bomb us....

[maxsolomon]

5. That isn't going to happen.

I understand why you feel that way, though.

What I wonder is: what is the Quid Pro Quo? What does Russia have that Iran wants? Is it just wheat? Or is it ideological - it's an(other) opportunity to oppose the US.

Good thing * tore up the Nuclear Deal!

[Irish_Dem]

10. Axis of Evil. They wish to destroy democracies and install fascism across the globe.

[maxsolomon]

24. I think that's a tad reductive.

Iran may be motivated by more immediate considerations. Wheat, cash, maybe nuclear technology.

[Irish_Dem]

26. You cannot separate one from the other. They desire vast power and wealth.

To control the planet's resources and to be in control of the human inhabitants.

These are the clear overreaching goals, you point out the details.

[EX500rider]

25. Modern jet fighters is what Russia has. Su-35 fighter's

I believe they traded those for the Iranian drones. (not delivered yet)

[Ocelot II]

6. Oh, sure, start a war with a country that's an ally of Russia

and that might have nukes. Brilliant idea.

[fightforfreedom]

7. I may be wrong in my belief, but I am right about this.

Iran is helping Russia kill Innocent civilians in Ukraine. Hundreds of drones have struck civilian targets. Iran has sent the drones and they have soldiers there training the Russians.. That's war. That's war crimes.

8. Great time for regime change in Iran

Seems like their own people hate their government.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes the ruling regime in Iran is vulnerable right now.

[maxrandb]

12. I was going to post the same things a couple days ago

Maybe not bomb, but maybe cyber attack the place to disable production.

Also, we simply can't cower because we "might start a war with a county allied with Russia that 'might' have nukes".

Is that how it works? A county that might have nukes, or does have nukes, is simply allowed to blackmail and defang the entire free world?

A couple of things.

- Any country that uses nukes better understand that the full power of American military might would respond.

- If the full power of the United States military is ever brought to bear, the entire globe could be turned into a "no fly zone" in a matter of days.

16. A cyber attack is a good idea.

[fightforfreedom]

19. Yes, that is a good idea or a couple of smart bombs launched from one of our ships.

[Irish_Dem]

21. We are going for subtle and nuanced, not smash-mouth.

As much as I would like to start bombing Moscow back to the stone ages.

And to send in a special ops team to hang Putin by his _____ in Red Square.

[fightforfreedom]

22. Thank you, I updated my post.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Sounds good to me.

[Samrob]

17. Why not just bomb Russia? Iran didn't start this war. I guess we have our fav targets?

[Behind the Aegis]

18. I understand the impulse, but it would not be a smart move.

Sanctions and the like are slower, but better. Attacking a sovereign nation for "supplying" wares, well, that would put US on the target board too.

[GoCubsGo]

23. Some of the "wares" we and other countries are supplying are anti-drone weapons.

Not enough at the moment, but it sounds like a lot more are on the way. It's safer to give Ukraine the means to disable the drones themselves, rather than us getting involved directly.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

27. This.

[Zeitghost]

28. The amount of Hawks

Turning up here and from the left in general is disturbing to say the least.
