The only people still going to bat for Trump are the portion of the republican party that would let him shite in their mouths then thank him for it

So you voted for him 3 times then too?

I’m starting to get pretty convinced that there is a lot of truth to these stories about the military starting to run low of munitions. In particular interceptor missiles. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.
The Gulf countries were pretty hung ho there for a while about the US finishing the job in Iran. Then all of a sudden they started having a massive attitude shift. The Saudis in particular. I think what has happened is we have told all these countries in the region that we can’t adequately protect them from drones and BM. Once we told them that then they probably told us that we couldn’t use our bases in the region or have overflight permission to attack Iran. Without those bases then we are basically down to using aircraft carriers only which wouldn’t be anywhere near enough. Something like this scenario is the only thing that makes sense. Trump is all about applying pressure and using leverage during negotiations. It makes absolutely no sense that he would take the military option off the table and give up all that pressure and leverage unless he was forced to do it.

This is simple siege warfare. I cannot believe no one can seem to wrap their minds around this ancient form of warfare. No soldiers are getting killed or injured. The enemy is getting starved to death. Obvious...
Kinda hard to claim this when it’s Iran that shut down the strait

I voted for Trump 6 times so frick off

It’s actually pretty easy to claim that because Irans economy is bleeding and losing billions daily as this goes on.

And they will continue to be moved. I do not believe Trump knows what he is doing in Iran and just adopts the position of whichever advisor talks to him last. It's been a huge mess and leaving that regime in place makes the whole thing pointless.

As long as it takes. Why be in a rush? The funny thing is he keeps taunting them with all of this "They want a deal!" shite and they don't know how to respond.
But don't think he's playing the siege game because he's a pussy. He clearly is not. The enemy is suffering and it gets worse for them every day. Our armed forces are safe at a distance.

What you meant is Trump should fire whoever he publicly makes the scapegoat for this quagmire.

Buddy, I don’t think Iran gives two fricks about their economy if you haven’t figured that out yet

Who gives a frick about the Strait? They are shut out of their ports. THAT is the siege and it is working exactly as planned. That people cannot see this is absolutely astounding to me.

You get over the shock of that after a while.

I don't often agree with you... but you're right here. It is definitely not their top three concerns.

Maybe they think they don't give two fricks, but how are they paying their military? The regime will implode, sooner rather than later.

Uhh, their economy determines the attitude of the masses, which yes they do pay much attention to and means a good bit. So I’d say yeah, the economy is quite a factor in their minds.

Does it really, though?
I think we're mistaken in looking at their attachment to 'economy' through our western perspective.

highly doubt the military is too concerned about being paid considering they are literally blowing themselves up in the name of the cause
