Next few days are going to be pivotal for all, the markets are looking for stability in SoH, the mullahs know it along with DJT, if we secure that, the mullahs will be forced back to negotiation table.

Wait, never mind. Trump is controlled by Netanyahu, so Trump already knows this.




Somebody should have. We can't win I take no pleasure in saying that. Great reason why we shouldn't have got in to begin with. Trillions a year on defense and we can't open a 20 mile strait? Why are we paying all these taxes? This only makes us weaker going forward. Iran only had to not loose to win and they didn't loose. Impossible to win without being fully committed to leveling the place and occupation. Again who wins in this? Israel. American people are tired of the lies. Iran never killed 30k protesters the people were never going to rise up. So how can intelligence be this bad so many times? I will give you one guess.

We look weak to Arab nations we can't protect them. They let us build bases and trade in the petro dollar for what? Iran wins with 2,000 dollar drones and we do nothing about. Does that make us a stronger protector or a weaker one? Who looks stronger China or us? Things won't change until later they would never on Trumps watch he has been a friend and good business partner to the kingdom but eventually things will change the yen cheap Chinese workers just remember how instead of diplomacy we went to war and put another country needs ahead of ours. All we need is cheap oil.... to sleep safely in our beds and to project power we had all before this war kicked off.

Tucker was correct about one thing 2 nations can't wage war as equals no 2 nations share the same goals and interest.

Send them back to the Stone Age. One power plant and one refinery per day. Let them see what could happen to them.

That would unite an entire country against us.

Blowing up their power plants so innocent civilians including women and kids don't have electricity and running water. These are people that we were going in there to liberate 7 weeks ago.

That's what you want to do?

Just for a visual. This is what Tehran looks like.

I don't want to invade Iran if we don't have to. All of the troubles of Afganistan. This is similar geography but with a much more well developed/civilized country.


It's really easy to say "blow them back to the stone age" but I want people to take a second and think about that.

It would be an ongoing operation that would certainly extend beyond 60 days

It is an action that is not confined to a targeted objective and would affect the region at large and would require taking control of international waters

A. Blockade is an escalation

Because they haven't been hardened against us before, and especially after we killed their leader?

Boots on the ground means Trump is serious about finishing the job, because unless we're going to bomb the entire population into Bolivia, that's the only way to make sure we don't ever have to worry about them again, or at least for longer than if we just up and leave now..

Iran:

"You've destroyed our entire air force and our navy outside of some fishing boats. You've killed our entire senior leadership and most of the 2nd & 3rd tier leaders as well. You've bombed our nuclear weapons sites and most sites that could be identified as having some military support function.

But now you've set a naval blockade on the SoH that we closed to everyone but our extorted victims paying huge & illegal tolls? OK, now it's WAR!"

Sound about right?

What is your definition of, "Finish the job?" It doesn't seem very well defined. And if troop in Iran is the only way to make sure we never have to worry about them again, that just means we have to keep them there indefinitely.

Which is what many said from day one why this was not going to work the way it was "planned"! Who told Trump that this was not going to be needed? Who told him they could bomb for 4-6 weeks and this would be mission accomplished? Were they intentionally lying to him or just that wrong. Are they the same ones still advising him?

I am a Trump supporter and I do believe we needed to handle Iran. I also think we have accomplished most of our set goals

But when you start something, you need to finish it. New obstacles arise in war, which means new goals.

Trump rushed in to this cease fire and it is showing. IDK why he put himself in a position to even have a deadline for a cease fire. He should have just knocked their Di**s in the dirt and took out their infrastructure.

Now he looks weak rushing in to a cease fire, basically begging for them to open the strait. THAT WAS A REQ. FOR THE CEASE FIRE! They have not opened it and it makes him look weak and stupid. Now he is begging, INSTEAD OF GOING BACK IN AND FING THEM UP. Weak Weak Weak, it pisses me off.

Why hasn't he stopped their customers from entering or leaving the strait?

Did he not have a Fing plan for this? Because this is a new goal that came from this war and he looks dumb AF trying to open it and solve it.

He is leaving it up to Iran, which basically emboldens them. Now it looks like we are defeated in an aspect of this conflict. WHEN HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE IN OTHER WAYS. HE fell right in to their trap and looks like a dumbass

Guess what, you are giving them a lifeline with this negotiations and deal you are trying to make. you will be giving them a boat load of cash by lifting sanctions and letting them collect a Fing toll.

We would not have to be making a deal had he had a plan to open the strait, without the strait they have no advantage to do anything.

Sorry for the rant but we could have CLEARLY won this thing had we planned to open the strait ourselves. Now we look dumb, everything we accomplished is out the window all because the strait, something with good plans could have been avoided





Damn. Pay attention everyone. When one of Trump's strongest supporters crashes out against him on this, you know this Iranian debacle is a mess. Trump is speedrunning the GWOT political madness in a matter of weeks. Flipflopping from objective to objective so fast it may as we have been a completely different admin from the one who ordered the first bombs dropped to the one leading the conflict right now.

This whole situation sucks and yes, Trump and Co. are left holding the bag.

Welp. This means boots on the ground. There's just no other way.

There never was going to be, and anyone who thinks we can just "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" into an entirely new form of government, or, in their case, reverting back to the constitutional monarchy they were, was naive at best and a fool at worst.

Anything less than putting our military on the ground, going through the streets of every place necessary to make MIGA, is the only way.

Anything less was pointless, save for making the MIC and everyone who made stock trades (legally and questionably) during this time.

Trump rightfully boasts about our military. Time to show the world what he can really unleash and make the world forever safe from Iran and give the Iranians their country back.
I mean this post very respectfully.

Regarding your statement indicating any and every credible pre-war analysis would have concluded that regime change in Iran cannot be achieved without a ground war, I agree. Your assessment is 100-percent spot-on.

Your 4th paragraph is where I and many other Americans differ with you.

If Don Junior, Eric Trump, Jared Kushner, David Ellison, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Jesse Waters, Dan Bongino, Mike Johnson, Stephen Miller, Markwayne Mullin, and other political elites and sons of the billionaire-class elites and every TPUSA / evangelical Christian pro-Zionist American male and every American Jewish pro-Zionist male under the age of 50 are carrying rifles and serving in the forward infantry units, then we'll support it.

But otherwise, we're done supporting the unnecessary sending of the sons (and daughters) of us ordinary Americans into wars like Vietnam, Iraq, and now Iran to be cannon fodder for the self-enrichment and political motivations of our nation's elites.

This war is not popular and the administration is not popular. They will be crushed in the midterms with this trajectory, possibly one of the biggest wipeouts in history.

They were elected to get inflation and costs under control, everything they have been doing is antithesis to this objective.

High oil prices = inflation = central banks raise rates = global recession/stagflation. Big shortage of fertilizers , soaring food prices and famine.

Gas prices are just the tip of the iceberg. More Americans will be returning in caskets as they run out of options for negotiating, this was another promise they broke.

Voluntary enlistment in the U.S. military creates a legally binding contract (oath) requiring service members to serve a designated time, typically an 8-year Military Service Obligation (MSO) divided between active duty and the Reserves. Obligations include adhering to military laws (UCMJ), obeying lawful orders, attending training, and potential deployment.

The above is from a google search "what are the obligations for someone who voluntarily signed up to serv in the USA military". Please point out where it gives discretion based on individual personal opinion and/or whether various billionaires/celebrities/public figures are participating in the conflict.

Politicians have, of should have, a moral and ethical obligation to spend our treasure and lives in meaningful conflicts. Not political dalliances and personal pursuits of power.

I hope you are not that ignorant or flippant towards the military. They are not automatons, blindly following orders with no thoughts of what or why they are doing what they doing. This is a really weird hill to fight on.

I'm from the draft lottery generation. I don't see any relevance in your statement.

I don't believe they volunteered to be wastefully used as a personal military force for a dubious, unnecessary foreign war, or to fight and die or be wounded for Wall Street hedge funds / private equity funds and billionaire elites and our corrupt U.S. politicians who have sold their votes to domestic and foreign interests.

I thought our sons and daughters volunteered to defend the USA and our national security and NATO members and western-style democracy nation allies like Japan, South Korea, and Australia.

I understand there are also many other legitmate missions and uses of our military which encompass a lot of gray areas that risk their lives. Missions which arguably involve national security interests. I understand and accept that.

But I have a big problem with sending thousands of Americans to die or be wounded in an unnecessary foreign war that will personally enrich our billionaire President, his billionaire son in law, his family businesses, and his billionaire donators and supporters.

If I am missing something, please explain it me.

Not being flippant at all. But I realize that the President is the CIC and that he, hopefully under the advisement of others in his administration, has deemed this to be a "meaningful conflict" and is committing our military to carry out the mission of this conflict.

For better or worse, at the end of the day the only opinion that matters is the President's within the boundaries of the Constitution. I'm of the opinion that this is a fight worth having. Many do not share this opinion. But neither side's opinion matters other than how it might shape the President's opinion.

Posted with full respect and gratitude for those who serve now and have served in the past.

Trump was told that regime change was very unlikely and that the strait would likely be closed for an extended period. He decided to go anyway. This was not an intelligence failure.
