Bought a 20 billion Zimbabwe bill just to have a bit of crazy history. The trillion bills were more expensive.

Are things shitty in Iran? well yes, yes they are.

Has Orange prosecuted this war in a less than stellar manner? Absolutely.

Just wait until the Iran starts printing Trillion Dollar Bills.

I think Zimbabwe printed one hundred trillion dollar notes.



Maybe the federal reserve could do the same thing. Print 40 one trillion dollar notes to wipe out the deficit. We could put Trump on the bills.

Nah.

Their need to hit an annual rate of 89.7 sextillion percent (89.7 × 10²¹%), with a peak monthly rate of 79.6 billion percent.

Well 747Tiger,

How many military aircraft do you think remain? Naval vessels? Military vehicles and armament depots?

Does Iran have access to their enriched uranium?

How many attacks have you seen lately, often on non-involved neighbors and civilian populations?

How much oil is flowing through the Strait? Compared to Iranian shipping?

The squeeze seems quite effective to me. And the only 'boots on the ground' so far, have been downed pilots. I don't like losing people, but warriors die even in training events.

I get you are disappointed, but I'm surprised at the folks over here who've given up so quickly.

Irrelevant.

No but that was taken care of in midnight hammer.

All the more reason to end the regime in Iran.

About a quarter of the pre war levels. That’s a win for Iran.

There should have been a lot more boots on the ground. We should have taken islands in the straits and strategic points along the Iranian coast. Until we do that we will never control the Strait of Hormuz.

I haven’t given up. Trump gave up. He gave up about 3 weeks into the war when he started all this cease fire nonsense because he didn’t have the balls to do what it took to win the war.

What are some examples of countries recovering from this kind of runaway inflation. Did Argentina get that bad before they (somewhat) started turning it around?

1/1/2026 the rate was 4,166 to $1.00. This is a 480X increase in less than 8 months.

So, you want thousands of Americans to die so the conflict will be over sooner rather than just starving them out?

That makes zero sense unless you don't value American lives.

Trump didn't give up. He was never going to have an invasion because the American public can't handle that. You are not being realistic.

This is the issue.

I blame the Generals that told him to wait until they had 3 carrier groups in the region. He let perfection be the enemy of the good.

The rest of the world continues to sit on their hands after 30,000 slaughtered.
But, yeah, let's jump on the one guy who's made an effort.

Worse than Vietnam?! Lol where do you people come up with this crap. A quarter of a million US soldiers were casualties during the war with another 2 million or so civilians killed. The Viet Cong were defeated after TET but American politicians and the people put more stock in Walter Cronkite than the soldiers themselves. So, no this isn’t anything like Vietnam

Yeah man I “want” Americans to die

We’re not gonna starve them out. Sanctions and blockades will not work. The regime will remain in charge and will continue to support their proxies in the region. And now they’ve proven they control the flow of oil through the strait.

Oh bullshite. He fricking quit. The American public has supported dozens of invasions. We kept troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for decades. If anything we have the most militant culture on the planet.
