I get it, 'Orange man bad'. And yet, last I checked he gave the regime ample time to attempt parlez, which were completely ignored or mocked into oblivion, so I guess we'll never know if those sites were highly problematic. Perhaps you had greater intel than the Americans and Israeli Intelligence services?
It wasn't an ideal situation by any means, but when allied to Israel and trying to de-escalate decades' worth of enmity between these two nations, it was never going to end in a tickling contest. Perhaps you could enlighten us how you would have handled this situation better, other than leaving the possibility of the Middle East becoming embroiled in all-out war all by itself?
I take issue obviously with key infrastructure being destroyed systematically by the likes of Israel, but if indeed the bombings put and end to the hardline regime's nuclear armament capabilities, then hopefully that's the end of the matter, as Trump's stated many times.
Short of Obama handing the Iranian regime $billions years ago and seemingly letting them get on with enriching their nuclear programme, effectively enabling them, you can be certain that any other U.S president of years prior would have already laid waste to Iran and likely already engaged in land warfare, so that'd be either of the Bushes, Clinton, Obama, or Biden. and I think we all know it!
My parents had a brief stint in pre- Iranian Revolution under the Shah, and it was a great place to be, a world away from the Islamic, "Death to America" regime it became, essentially occupying a population under its rule. I always wondered how change could be effected there, perhaps this is it.
As for their leaders' retorts (those that are left) that they'll rain down misery on those that have wronged them ten-fold etc, that was always going to be the case. We were never going to hear "Shucks....ya got us!"
I have greater resentment towards Bibi, because let's be honest, he's wipe Iran off the map in a heartbeat. If you want an impulsive, irrational warmonger, well, there's your man
