Even if you want to frame this as 83D Candyland to hurt Europe, that hurts us. If Europe, China, SA, etc. hurt economically it affects our economy negatively too

I'm not taking sides in this fight, but watch this clip of Rubio (I queued it up). He seems like he doesn't know WTF to do about the Strait.

And so, all we seem to have shown the world is that we can’t guarantee the Strait’s security if things get squirrelly with Iran even if we have huge naval and aerial superiority. That’s a W for Tehran

We escorted ships through the SOH and there was nothing Iran could do about it. You know why? Because we sank their fukn navy, you idiot.

You speak as if said resolve is past-tense


By all indications the end is imminent and the result is not favorable for us.


If we do not end up paying reparations, if they cease to enrich uranium and we keep the same or enhance sanctions I will admit that i was wrong OR if we go in guns blazing and take kharg island.




I notice you won’t put your lines in the sand on what constitutes a bad deal and taking a L in SFPs thread…

I’m trying to put together how any resolution here can be a win for the United States.

Unless everyone’s hiding the ball and Iran is giving up the uranium, basically any term possible is worse than status quo ante.

The party line will be “but they promised to do X and Y with their nuclear materials and limit enrichment”. The hilarious retort will inevitably be “these terms are weaker than the JCPOA”.

We blockaded the SOH and Iran could not sell oil on the world market. And there was nothing Iran could do about it. You know why? Because we sank their fukn navy.

What’s your take then?

We objectively did not do it, are you saying that we just chose not to? Because from a prestige and world opinion standpoint, that’s almost as bad as not being able to.

We know you’re not very smart. I’d probably shut the frick up.

In theory a full nuclear ban I guess, but I wouldn't trust Iran to be truthful bout it

The #1 would be restrictions on trade with China, which would be the only way to really thwart Iran, IMHO and hurt China.

Asked and answered.

What do we get (demonstrate) by restraining exactly as we've done?
