Iran doesn't have to love Israel
The goal is to neuter and defang Iran specifically the theocracy, the radical Islamic theocrats
I have gone back and forth on this: part of me wants to see Iran nuke Israel, we nuke Iran, then we can focus on a world with no Iran or Israel (if only...)
That's not really how that would work. There's still a Japan, for instance, not to mention the enormous diasporas of both Iran and Israel.
I really hate the term Diaspora
and I am not the only one
I really hate the term Diaspora
Why?
it feeds and validates victim status
for example: anti Semitism is the oldest form of discrimination
who the fuck cares, you want a trophy for being the oldest victim
"Diaspora" has nothing to do with victimhood
the word is also overused
every race or ethnicity now has a diaspora
I admit that I haven't war gamed this completely
If they want to obtain economic natural resources while simultaneously appearing to the general public as a kind of liberating nation...
That's a good move...
And I also say that peace between Iran and Israel is not going to happen; this rivalry or division has existed for centuries...
There is so much to say about this that its hard to summarize, but to try:
Its basically impossible to imagine how "America gets something out of Iran" war. The idea that we are going to drop a few weeks of bombs and suddenly Iran is going to love Israel and the 2 will exist in some sort of lasting peace is beyond the limits of credulity.
It is, however, possible to imagine US gets something out of toppling Maduro.
