Trump's strategy here is incomprehensibly ineffective

No serious person believes he is going to destroy an entire civilization. No serious person believes he would even go with the previous threat of destroying every power plant and bridge in the country.

When negotiating you overplay your hand to set an anchor. But you have to do it in a way that is somewhat believable. If it's complete fantasy and fiction then you haven't set a real anchor.

This is the equivalent of someone on that stupid pawn stars show trying to sell a Pokemon card for 3 billion dollars. It's so laughably stupid that no real anchor has been set for negotiation.

Optimistic view - there are likely real negotiations happening behind the scenes and this is just all theater.

0.) Decapitate leadership
1.) Suppression of air defenses
2.) Take out key military assets
3.) Seize strategic points. < We are here

Agreed. The low IQ crowd doesn’t understand the strategy.

It is not healthy for our nation or the world. It is reprehensible and you should feel ashamed for excusing this kind of behaviour.

I think most of the world not only believes it, but expects it. I just hope it’s not a nuclear attack.

Everyone who doesn’t want to destroy an entire civilization is a lib. You learn something new every day.

Another day. Another chance for Powerman to waste his life tilting at windmills like anyone is actually listening.

Trump has made himself impossible to support.

Unfortunately I think we end up in an even worse position after today. My reasoning is that if the regime weathers today (especially if the bombing is as severe as we're implying), it's a rhetorical win for them. They spin it as taking the Americans' best shot and surviving while radicalizing people who are now suffering under our bombing campaign. They'll paint it as brutal foreign invaders providing justification for their decision to build a nuke. "Look how the great Satan attacks us, but Allah is on our side!" You have to remember we're dealing with extremist Muslims, not a logical enemy who fears death.

Ok, your panic has long been noted. No need in reaffirming it.

I trust Trump, Marco and JD Vance over any single piece of garbage in your fricked up party.

Not healthy is allowing these evil radical muslims to stay in power.

Yeah, Powerman is known around these parts for being dramatic. Powerless would be a better name.

It’s comical liberals like yourself acting as if you have the moral high ground after what you scum put this country through the last 12yrs. Your policies and political beliefs is what brought all of us to this point

Do yourself a favor and take some sound advice and just shut the frick up so this mess can get fixed your side caused in the first place shite for brains

This is the same thinking women use, fake a pregnancy to keep the relationship together... still falls apart in the end.
