Trump: evacuate Tehran

Felis Leo said:
If we bomb and engage in perfidy against a hostile foreign power we were in the middle of negotiating with, we will have no grounds to condemn them for their perfidy when they sink one of our carriers with all hands lost.

And with incompetent drunkard security risks like Pete Hegseth in charge of our military, I think this might be the one time Iran might actually have the chance to pull of such a maneuver.

This is wrong. They're on the way to Finland.

We already have shit tons of tankers at Diego Garcia, from which you can almost spit into Iran.

The U.S. doesn’t seem to care. If Trump is dumb enough to actually lob a nuke at Tehran—or let Israel do so—I’m sure he thinks the threat is enough to cover his “responsibilities”.

Mexico City has a similar problem. 9 million people, parked right on an active volcano. No infrastructure to support 10% of that number within a reasonable distance. All the railroads switch inside the city.

Why even have a plan? It's a sick joke.

Yeah, if the head of state of a credible nation like China announced online that my city should evacuate immediately, I'd expect my nation to treat that as an immediate, existential threat.

Of course, we've got to be moderate. After all, North Korea threatens total fiery destruction of the United States all the time and we just call that Tuesday.

It seems that as of now, however, there is a very, very large proportion of Iranians which hate their current government.

Facing the Iranian population with the reality that the tyranical theocrats now in power are unable to defend them will increase the number longing for regime change.

Inducing panic and confusion in the enemy's populace is a tactic a few thousand years old. The Iranian government now has the difficult decision whether to try and prevent people leaving Tehran.

Or, Tehran already has a plan developed over decades, to make those two shiny mountain ranges into meat grinders.

"The people" overthrew the Shah of Iran and and planted the seeds of a far worse extremist regime. Ultimately they will be the very ones paying the price.

Your Nixon and his CIA installed the Shah in the 1950’s and set the stage for 1979 with Nixon’s early 1970’s actions.

Trump is intentionally moving the markets with these remarks.
His band of day traders made out well today.

What's a little human sacrifice to stop a state getting what Israel has already got, right?

Iran is a rogue terrorist funding and supporting state. Nuclear weapon in thir hands would e be dangerous for the entier region, not just Israel. ( I nearly added the stupid 'right?' but had enough sense to stay my hand).

Rather than "weird," perhaps you like some of us have become numbed by and insensitive to the carnage let loose on the world.
