The opposition party
There are a couple, but what is there to oppose? Under competent leadership, we would have an opportunity to support a revolution for Iranians to throw off their despots and enter democracy for the first time in 80 years. There are both economic and security incentives, as Iran has threatened nuclear war for and supported insurrection and violent extremists in Egypt, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, etc for many decades, now. They’re the proxy war agent propped up by Russia and China. Since they’ve been collapsing under the stress of famine and drought, and begun slaughtering thousands of insurgents and protestors in Tehran before the war started, now was the time to strike.
Do you really expect the DNC to stand up and say “WE NEED TO PROTECT MIDDLE EASTERN MAGA” ? Nah, fuck the Ayatollah, glad that piece of shit is dead.
The problem with this situation is that Trump is helping Israel with a border expansion campaign, has no inclination to aid the rebellion, has completely ignored congressional authority, and has led to a great many unnecessary casualties.
Amazing that across the political spectrum it’s hard to come across anti interventionalists.
The first week of the war alone cost America $11.3 billion dollars. Can you imagine what the money could do to revive America’s infrastructure and social services?
Finally, and Americans really should be taught this history, a regime change operation by the US is never in the interest of locals. It’s so that a puppet/stooge can be installed and the neocolonial cycle continues. This should be especially apparent in this case since Iran spent 26 years with an autocratic American stooge less than a century ago.
