Getting out of this quagmire ASAP is the best outcome. Consequences and all.

I'm very happy to see it being worded this way. Sounds to me moreso like an agreement to extend the ceasefire than anything else. The 3 main points of contention are literally the main 3 points for the war, so, I'm cautiously optimistic now that I've melted for the better part of 2 hours.

Well I hold out hope in Trump's ability to frame things as wins, but everything being reported points to one of the greatest US defeats in recent memory.

I am also wondering if it is about The Nimitz arriving in Cuba and Iran...

Trump should be tarred and feathered if he allows that to happen after all this.

He killed a 80+ year old dictator. He beat the flu to the punch.

I agree with that.

I'm just talking about impact of the deal and the long-term effects of this quagmire

So to be clear you believe it’s an existential threat so anything up to and including the liquidation of the Iranian people is an appropriate foreign policy position to eliminate the Iranian regime?

Or are there bounds on what you’re willing to do to accomplish regime change?

I know. I think the benefit is worth the cost of "how bad it looks".

You've been lockstep with those retards since this whole thing started... now you're going soft?



No I haven't. Me not hating Jews like you do doesn't mean I automatically hate all Iranians. The world isn't as black and white as you like to make it. I don't have inherent hatred for anyone. I want the war brought to a peaceful conclusion like any reasonable person would.

I would say welcome to the "retard" group, but you're already there. Just on the other side of the divide.

Really. Our problems are with the Iranian regime, not the average citizens of Iran. Nuclear weapons would kill many, MANY thousands of innocent people, you frickin homicidal maniac.

Nukes should be a weapon of last resort we are nowhere near that.

Trump gets hate by the same people for tweeting now we have them openly calling for this ruining everything when no details have been released. You’d figured they’d learn especially after the tulsi thing yesterday. That did NOT go as they said.

Again, I agree.

We can't win this without a ground invasion and that's the last thing I want. We failed at regime change and the SOH issues show Iran has a play.

I was just speculating about the long-term impacts.

If Iran had one, it’d be the weapon of first choice.

And don’t try telling me differently.
