    I, too, enjoy reading only half a comment.

    The issue isn’t “providing background context,” it’s presenting an advisory document of all the possible approaches to a diplomatic scenario as being some sort of conspiracy, rather than the result of some people literally just doing the job they are paid to do.

    By just linking an enormous document and presenting it as if it were some massive revelation, you’re basically just relying on people not bothering to read the document and accepting the inference that the document actually just says only the thing that has happened.

      Yeah, sure. War is spontaneous, and not planned at all. It’s not a revelation or conspiracy, it’s years of groundwork and planning. I displayed that war with Iran has been in the works for at least a decade. You- it’s a conspiracy.

        You’re (intentionally?) misunderstanding literally every sentence of my comment

          Does the document “Which Path to Persia” exist?

          Is the Brookings Institute a reputable think tank that advises government foreign policy?

          Does the document suggest a procedure for conflict and regime change in Iran?

          If all of this is true, my statement still stands. Practically every decision America makes towards Iran has been planned and contemplated.

          the result of some people literally just doing the job they are paid to do

          So. A plan. Just like I stated in my original comment.
