They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Grumpy72
Feeding the poor costs them but doesn't make as much profit as killing them. Give a person $200 for food or blow up a $100,000 bomb that'll be re-ordered?

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

if your customers, who buy powder, do not use the powder... how are you going to keep your business alive? REPLY: Making them use the powder. (And this have been happening since the end of the WWII).

And the water profiteers sell to both sides.

Do you mean war profiteers? Not happening here. This isn't a situation like the war against Ukraine, where China is selling dual-use tech like drone parts to both Russia and Ukraine. Despite these two conflicts being connected, it's still a very different war.
ToSisPoS
Not true - the people that sell the beans and the bandages to the army also make money
Grumpy72
Ever notice how many of those are the same as the weapons guys? They're all invested in everything.

Nazi profiteering
RUFingKiddingMe
You have a point, I mean the US slave population certainly didn't benefit from the Civil War.
Grumpy72
Maybe a bit yeah but not as much as most people think considering all of the violence, segregation, social and financial limitations and targeted incarceration that's happened to their descendants.
Grumpy72
And all of that from the same group I'm talking about, all of whom profit from everything I listed.

Let me say this clearly. Even if Ali Khamenei is dead, it wasn't worth it. Mostly because the lives of innocent civilians are not worth killing one man. If there was an immediate threat from Iran, maybe you have some hard choices to make, but that isn't where we are. Where we are is the pedophile President is losing support, and so he wants to wag the dog.
Rhythmaster
Khamenei is super old anyway, he wasn't going to live much longer. And it's not like the clerics who run everything can't just create a new supreme leader... honestly I don't like the Iranian regime but it was one of the few powers that was somewhat keeping Israel at bay, if that's gone, who knows what Netanyahu could do, they already been bombing Gaza, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Qatar (they bombed the diplomatic peace talks, lmao). And that was just last year. Totally unconstrained Israel is scary.
DdCno1
Fuck Trump & Netanyahu with a pineapple, but: Iranian leaders just slaughtered tens of thousands of their own people. Machine-gunned crowds, sniped from rooftops, executed them in hospital beds, torture-murdered teens, etc. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu have the best interests of the Iranian people (or any people other than themselves) at heart, but what if they end up destroying this regime with fewer casualties than the regime would have caused on its own trying to maintain its grip on power?
Khanamana324
So everything that US cops and soldiers do and then some?
Rhythmaster
Regime change wars ALWAYS remove "the bad guys". That's not really the issue. The problem is what is going to emerge in the power vacuum afterwards. There is no plan for that, not even an unrealistic plan that will eventually fail like in Iraq or afghanistan, there is no plan whatsoever. If there is a massive civil war or power struggle and Iran becomes a so-called "failed state" that could be much worse in terms of casualties than either the regime OR the USA/Israel attack. We just don't know.
DdCno1
During/after regime change, the most notorious leaders and lackeys are killed or imprisoned, but most that actually carried the regime - loyal party members, fastidious bureaucrats, opportunistic managers, ruthless executioners - tend to lay low for a short while, then use their networks to gain powerful positions after the dust has settled. This can work out fine (West-Germany), result in disaster (Russia) or not be allowed to happen, resulting in a worse disaster (Iraq). We really don't know.
throwawaygizmo
You are justifying the death of civilians. Tell me, how many civilians are worth the destruction of this regime? Also, can you guarantee that there will be no wider consequences of this war? If Iranian backed terrorists blow up civilians tomorrow somewhere in Europe? Does that mean it's no longer worth it? I mean, for fuck’s sake, do you just not remember the 2nd invasion of Iraq? We legit went through this not even fucking 30 years ago.
nalmeth
Well. If the regime is killing it's own civilians and funding terrorism anyways... Those aren't really compelling arguments.
DdCno1
I'm not justifying anything. It was hypothetical. In conversations with friends and relatives (which you admittedly didn't witness), I have speculated about multiple different outcomes, including terrorist attacks against the West and refugee streams reaching Europe as the result of regional instability. Since Iran's civil society is much more robust than Iraq's, a successful uprising aided by the air strikes is also possible. I remember the 2003 Iraq war; I took part in a protest against it.
Sebastopol140
Naaah, there's also the people who loot the countries and their ressources, and the ones who benefit from the following reconstruction.
stillnodog
And the ones who, whilst doing all of the above, also gain power and access to the rest of the region.
TheMellowPeril
So the same group?
Sebastopol140
Yeah, just different flavor.
Marsupialmessiah
Nah, same flavor. Pedophile warmongering with a hint of vanilla.
Grumpy72
No, same group. They all benefit from the sale of the weapons by either being invested or getting kickbacks, donations, gifts, etc.
