Mfs are arguing with me that we’ve already won the war because we did some successful decapitation strikes. It really is 2003 again. This shit is not a video game where taking out the enemy leader is an immediate win-condition.

We lose the second we change the goals, and we’ve done that about 8 times now

I mean there is no fucking world where a decapitation strike against an entrenched regime results in a lasting victory. We did that shit BOTH TIMES the last time we went to war in the Middle East. It didn’t work in either. It doesn’t fucking work.

Like, I’ve studied international conflict pretty extensively, I took like 5 high level courses in international politics that were conflict-specific. Even removing any morality from the equation, and putting on my Realpolitik Ghoul Goggles, that shit is still just plain stupid. Decapitation only works on VERY weak regimes, which the Islamic Republic was not.
