Does this board want to finally admit that Epic Fury was a mistake?

We’ll have high oil prices for the next two years while we continue to put economic pressure on Iran. The only way we get a deal is with massive concessions.

What did we get out of Epic Fury? The regime is virtually the same and now Iran realizes their leverage over the Strait. Should have walked away after Midnight Hammer, which was a resounding success.

It’s a shame because this completely derailed Trump 2.0 and puts Republicans at a disadvantage in 2028. The only silver lining is that this should push conservatives further away from Israel.

I’ll admit it’s been an epic and spectacular success. Finally got revenge for what that regime did to our embassies in Tehran and Beirut.

Bro, it is one of the greatest military exhibitions in history. Iran is collapsing, economy shot and they have no hope other than a bunch of filth trying to change the narrative to help bail them out.

Iran is cooked, no where to go and nothing to bring to the table. The Strait was the deterrent, the nuclear option they though would always save them. It didn't, Iran is in free fall with inflation of over 300% and zero money coming in to the country.

Why are you asking us?

It sounds like you've got it all figured out.

The Iranians can’t make it that long. They will be bankrupt. They had water crisis before the war and it will get worse. These are stupid people that don’t give a damn about their citizens. Seeing how they are makes it imperative that they never have nukes.

1. Trump 2.0 is about enriching and doing favors for his friends and donors. The sooner you understand that, the more it makes sense. He doesn’t give a shite.

2. This board has been extremely delusional about the midterms. I have no clue why they thought 2024 somehow meant Dems could never win again.

How can anyone answer that?

Do you have access to the intel?

Where is current enriched Uranium levels vs when the "war" started?

How close were they to a nuke actually? Do you know that? I don't. Literally no one besides this administration does.

How many lives have been lost for the potential ROI from this considering the cost of doing nothing?

Exactly one more than the botched Biden Afghanistan withdrawal thus far.


What it has shown us is who our true enemies are around the globe and what would actually happen if WWIII were to kick off.

Ahhhhhhhh, so that's why he brought DOGE in. Makes perfect sense.

Edit: deporting as many as illegals as possible, (which I am thoroughly disappointed that it hasn't been 10x the amount) only HURTS Trumps friends as they make a ton of money off of illegal labor

I'm glad he did. I think it has been a wildly entertaining stretch of poli-board posting since Trump 2.0 happened. Many who voted 3x for him, like I did, have stopped having any degree of faith in this installment.

This board, however, I think is quite old, and therefore quite stuck supporting him no matter what.

Iran being able and willing to wait out Trump isn't 'propaganda'. They are religious fanatics who do not care what happens to their citizens. They will let them starve. How do you not understand this? A better question is how did Trump not understand this or how someone in his inner circle not understand this was a possible outcome?

Turmp and Hegseth were on highs from Venezuela and Operation Midnight Hammer last year.

Even with that, it's hard to imagine they doubted Iran's resolve given their history.

How do you feel about people who get bit when they go find and antagonize a rattlesnake?

They complain about how this is a “MAGA board” but we see these threads daily.

I don't think the operation was a mistake. Something needed to be done with Iran. Where I think the failure happened is us underestimating Iran's capabilities and what it would take to actually defeat them entirely or at least agree to the majority of our demands. Operation needed to happen but the execution was a failure.

You're right, instead we'll just post about Trump's 25th peace deal with Iran that exists just long enough to pump the market a few days.
