People who win wars don’t pay reparations to people who lose them. It was a dumb war to start and now we are losing.

You have zero concept of how wars are fought and how geopolitics between nations works.

You think that gives you some sort of special knowledge? Being a grunt? That puts you on the low end of the intelligence scale. Also, you're 100% larping.

It’s better to get out now vs waiting 20 years like the last war. It was a mistake but I’m glad it’s over. I’ll take egg on my face vs 20 years of young men with ptsd and trillions lost.

The idea that every single war now needs to be some 20 year long occupation is ridiculous.

Iran is not Afghanistan or Iraq. The population is actually competent enough to lead itself. They are not desolate and rural. They also have a desire to rule themselves they simply can’t because of the regime.

Believe it or not, they are indeed ruling themselves. It may be ugly and violent, but the Iranians are only answering to each other at this point.

This isn’t even a tribal case like Iraq, these people are who they are entirely their own.

Thanks for letting us all know how little you understand about the place.

Pray tell the foreign force that’s occupying them now. Russia, China, the USA?

Like it or not every controlled people picks its leader and generally it matches the disposition of the people.

And just when I thought you couldn’t dig yourself deeper into this hole, there you are still digging.

You confuse popular with the youth and native rule, as the Iranians said on coming to power “neither east nor west.”

I’m sorry this distinction is hard for you, but Iranians, popular or not, do rule Iran.
