The US-Israeli war on Iran is founded on two huge mistakes - Lemmy

March 17, 2026 >More than two weeks since Israel and the US attacked Iran, inflicting “death and destruction from the sky all day long” as US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, it seems that the decision to go to war was founded on two major miscalculations. >One is almost entirely an American one regarding the possibility of toppling the Iranian ruling establishment, and the other is an Israeli misreading of Hezbollah and its potential response. >In addition, the results of the 12-day war and the recent demonstrations in Iran and subsequent violent crackdown led Israel and the US to believe that there was a golden opportunity to topple the Iranian government.

Only being able to come up with two mistakes shows a total lack of imagination. The list of mistakes is endless.

    For those who want regime change in Russia and Iran, the best path is peace, and then discontent about the sharing of prosperity in that peace, or employment declines from demilitarization relative to peak defense needs. People/citizens will always recognize the obviousness of self-defense priority otherwise.
