Iran warns to target all infrastructure in region if its infrastructure attacked

I don’t believe you can oppress something forever. The oppressed learn your weaknesses and they have all the time in the world to move the battle onto territory which exploits those weaknesses. Even if it means moving a single grain of sand, walking it a thousand miles to the destination and back, for each grain on a beach. Time is on their side.

The alternative is genocide. Yet even then, you’ll have just martyred their civilization. The issue moves but was not “dealt with.”

We would be a lot wiser to actually help these countries develop into longstanding allies, perhaps with economic dependence on us (the liberal way). Our current approach is just barbaric, and we’re surly sowing the wind.
