Idk what to tell you bro since we are probably starting from different positions.

My position is we have been at war with them since 79 Trump just finally called a spade a spade and is ending.

I also believe in the moral righteousness of some fights and causes, saving millions of people if we can with a few weeks of air campaigns seems morally fine to me.

Trump will stop at some point, declare victory, and the regime will still be in place. No one thought through the end game on this. Hell, we are still allowing them to ship their oil to China. Someone make it make sense

Iran will likely get a good deal- a release of sanctions, less US military influence in the Gulf states and some sort of agreement that will be similar to the JCPOA

In return. Trump can declare a military victory.

Does anyone actually think Trump will just allow those guys to remain in power? Get a grip. He’s not quitting until the job is complete.



lmfao imagine if biden were all over the epstein files, he ran on releasing the epstein files, half get released (mostly redacted), he says they are no big deal and not releasing the rest, then starts a war with Iran a week later this board would be in defcon 1

Considering that they were not bombing anything prior to this action, I seriously doubt they would continue.

“ making them fight.”.(quote td)

If 30,000 unarmed have died in the streets what does that say about their motivation. Those A-10s and C-130s are overwhelming when focused on pockets of the enemy. Only the most fanatical of the IRGC would fight till martyrdom. And they to make themselves known and go away anyway.

This will likely be the case in our own Country soon enough. Too late for Europe.

You know, we did accomplish regime change not only in Iran, but other places without military actions.

What you typed here is just BS.

It’s a country of 80 million + people. They’re going to have to fight a years long civil war/insurgency no matter what,

It’s what happens when your government is a death cult, unfortunately.

Interesting take.

Are you suggesting only a "fricking loser" can't see how this all ends?

You are going to need to take the port on the Iranian side of the Strait....so much for the no boots on the ground thing. Bandar Abbas will have to be taken and flattened

Like there is little difference between Biden and Trump. Jobs to China and open Border with subsidies to all comers. Biden showers with his daughter and wreck her psyche and NYC billionaire playboy chases poon but slams pedo/Mossad Asset Epstein.

This is a good example of why politics has become dysfunctional.

No, not even close. War isn’t a game.

For the majority of people confidently proclaiming this conflict would be over in less than two weeks was foolish snd very naive.

This war is going to drag on for significantly longer than most here think.

And…. It’s going to put this country even more in debt. We’re at $37 Trillion and counting. The money printer at the Fed can only keep printing so much before massive runaway inflation takes hold. The quality of life in this country is only going to get worse and worse.

JFC - it’s been what, less that 2 weeks?


Right at 2 weeks. I believe Gulf War 1 was a 5-week bombing campaign, and that was just to push the Iraqis out of Kuwait. Panicans gonna panic. Weak-willed men gonna bed-wet.

Are you referring to the early phases of the war?

I definitely would bet anything significant against your take there.

I hope there is a good plan to exit this thing when it’s time. Sooner rather than much later.
