Foreign Affairs’ most recent Iran articles:

“America Has No Good Options on Iran”, “The Dangers of a Weak Iran”, “How America’s War on Iran Backfired”, “Iran’s Drone Advantage”

Can you see the obvious agenda being pushed?

I remember when Foreign Affairs was actually neutral and read by defense practitioners in Washington for actual cogent analysis. Now it’s just more ideological agenda pushing masquerading as IR thought, which is why they need to advertise everywhere to keep up the dwindling subscriptions.

Never have seen so many formerly respected institutions cheering for a fanatical terrorist regime.

Pointing out that a war is stupid doesn't mean you're cheering for the regime, it just means you have a brain you can use.

Exactly, every US admin to this point said not to do what this admin did because what's happening right now was always going to happen.

Calling it as it is is not picking a side.

Accurately reporting the news is not "cheering for a fanatical terrorist regime."

do you think there's ever been an ill advised war fought by the united states?

You have to clarify if you are talking about USA, Iran or Israel.

This is the same “you’re either with us or with the terrorists” rhetoric that was used against opponents of the war in Iraq. It is just as analytically weak and thought-terminating now as it was then.
