US/Trump doing a nice job of laying out exactly how to defeat us. Just threaten global energy and we back down.

Like the loud mouth who talks about kicking a$$ but does nothing but, also like the quiet one who says nothing then ends you with destruction.

Which POTUS Trump are they getting this week?

The ART of the DEAL!!

You are correct but it ain’t no secret. Game theory probably includes this step in every simulation….

I remember this being said constantly to pump up the invasion of Iraq. George Galloway hit Christopher Hitchens hard with it at a debate. It was the only debate I saw Hitchens decisively lose…

There was no welcome for the foreign armies that invaded Iraq. Hitchens said they would be greeted by flowers, but there are 3,000 young Americans boys lying in the ground now, testimony to the fact that they were welcomed by something else. And thousands, and thousands more, wounded, maimed, many of them in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, testament to the folly of Hitchens, and Bush, and Cheney, and the rest of the neo-con gang that dragged your country into this disaster.

I have to think Iran's threats led to pressure from Gulf states currently helping us.

The straight + infrastructure of the Gulf states is definitely something that makes this more difficult (in addition to the rest of why beating Iran is tough)

But we sunk their navy, didn’t you hear?

It’s at the bottom of the sea.

using graphite bombs to disable electrical grid and equipment seems the opposite of "leveling the country".

BTW, Who's said anything about "hearts and minds" besides you?

you often make up shite in your head don't ya? It's OK to talk to yourself, just don't answer back.

Trump did. He popped his mouth off with bravado. And the Iranians spelled out what they would do to exact revenge for any actions. The actions Iran spelled out are far too painful for the Arab neighbors (and Israel). And there is no assurance we can defend against these attacks. Trump backed off. And over the next few weeks Trump will lose interest in the whole thing.



This is correct! and Trump has bitten off more than he can handle on this one and we are all paying for it. Neocons fricked us again.

Higher prices fricked economy lost elections to fricking dem trash who are going to go nuclear when back in control

Downvote away dumbasses

I have no idea what you're asking.... What I was saying is just the basic simple common sense that possibly Trump needs to take some melatonin or something to sleep.

Anytime I say this people flip out How dare I I say such a thing about Trump?

But it's possibly true I think the man needs more sleep I don't care how autistic he is...

Right now the biggest asymmetry I see is that we have to do everything we claim we want to do to increase the pain enough in the regime to "win", while Iran can have a much lower success rate and make things too painful.

So while Iran, in this example, would never be able to hit ALL the targets, they only need to hit 1 major one (like a desalination plant). We would have to hit ALL their power plants.

So we can sink all their ships, sure, but they only have to sink one tanker and the global shipping industry flips on its head. This applies if they target one, one hundred, one thousand, or one million.

Surely Trump understands there is NO dealing with the leadership of Iran. NOTHING they say can be trusted. They are terrorist obsessed with death and murder. Truly savages.

There were no talks. Trump is looking for an off ramp. These people aren't negotiating.

I don't think anyone being honest or rational thinks Trump actually spoke with the Iranian regime about this.
