US Strikes on Iran (Operation Epic Fury)

[Leonardo17]

Not everything that happens is because of Donald Trump. All I am saying is that this path that has been taken by Iran 46 years ago is not a sustainable path. Sooner or later there was going to be a US president that was going to hit them in one way or the other. And the only remaining card of this regime is the “pressuring its own people” card.  

My only concern at this point is the amount of munition + missiles + patriot system D. Trump has wasted in this war. But I cannot really talk about that because I’m not a military expert. But putting economic pressure on the regime by blockading its ports is not a bad move. In fact, it’s the only logical strategy at this point.

There is a risk of regional spillover of this conflict:

- The Israeli PM Netanyahu has good chances of winning the elections in October. Already he is portraying Emperor Belisarius as a direct enemy of Israel in his political campaign:

This is not the reality on the ground. Personally, I would simply move all the Palestinians out to a safe place so that they are no longer being hurt by Israeli bombs and Israeli settlers anymore. If I lived in 1949 I would be opposed to the creation of Israel. Right now my only concern is about Arabs who are dying for nothing + Israelis who don’t seem to be aware that they have become a nation like the apartheid-era South-Africa or other colonial era African countries.
 
But speaking about the East-Roman Empire: We really have much bigger problems as it is. No one here wants to be involved with a war with Israel. We see it as an issue of imperialist powers who started the issue in the first place.
 
Explainer: Until we lost Palestine to the Brits in 1917, there was absolutely no ethnic / religious conflict in the region. That was just the nature of Ottoman administrations. Different ethnicities had different rights but the whole system worked so that all the subjects of the emperor could enjoy a quiet and peaceful life. If you go to Istanbul someday you will see synagogues, Orthodox churches, Anglican Churches, Roman Catholic churches, Mosques, and Alawite worships places next to one another with absolutely no tension between different groups.

So while I don’t know what Netanyahu is doing, I don’t like his hostile attitude toward everyone and every major player in the whole region.
 
To me Iran is one of the two major problem that is making life miserable for everyone in this region.
