Since losing complete trust in my government after the Iraq War, I believed anything they said about the Middle East was just another lie to justify imperialism.
Lucas, ditching Protocols logic has turned you into a superb analyst! When you can't yell "the Joos!!" at everything, the world becomes a much more difficult place to understand and create policies to deal with it.
The reason the US can prance around the world is because it is an oil producing nation. The saudis, iranians, russians, also have that exact same privilege. If Iran wanted a nuke they would already have it and if they want one they will not fail to get it, because they are an oil producing nation. When people say forever war they mean unwinnable war, and fucking with oil producing nations is exactly that.
We are not in a forever war with Iran. We are containing a hostile enemy, and we are preventing them from getting a nuke, which isn't as easy as you think.
Which is a forever war because that objective cannot be achieved, so it's either endless escalation or withdraw completely. The reason that objective cannot be achieved is because Iran produces light sweet oil, which the entire civilized planet needs to survive, and that means will do anything for it. Iran doesn't have to build a nuke, they could simply offer oil for it and it will be smuggled to them from pakistan. There is nothing they cannot achieve that the US could. So just like we don't step on russia's toes, same goes for Iran. You have to assume they already have a nuke.
No, they aren't on good terms with Pakistan, who is our ally btw. And, the Iranian people could eventually coup their the Islamic regime, since Iranians are Persians, not Arabs beholden to Islam.
Mabye they aren't on good terms with the pakistani parliament but money walks while bullshit talks. There's some general in pakistan that is corruptible. Iran is smuggling oil into pakistan as we speak and ultimately this is being permitted by the pakistani military who is going lax on the border because high ranking officials have some hand in the pie. Anyway the smuggling route is a red herring because bibi wasn't lying for the last 30 years that iran is only weeks away from a bomb, because at their current enrichment capabiltiy it would only take them a few weeks to make a bomb. So you just have to assume they already have it. It's time to open up trade and friendly relations, which is the best you can do to prevent being attacked. The lindsay graham era died with him.
Other than Iraq's WMD's, what wars has our government recently lied us into?
Try Jeff, "All of them"? Ever since – and including – World War One?

Great research-heavy opinion piece, Lucas.
As a decorated American war veteran who understands warfare, how much longer do you think this war is going to last ?
Until Iran stops supporting terrorism.
We paid him $7,000 and renamed the Rothschild Blvd in Tel Aviv after him instead.
It's now the Lucas Gage Blvd.
True story!
