War with Iran Part II

[Anonymous]

This is terrible for Trump - it's tangible proof of losing this war. By hoping just to return to how things were is a surrender.

In fact, if Iran wanted to, they could actually say no - they have all the leverage.

Even if they agreed to all US points, if they continue to (and not sure why they wouldn't) request pay through strait by all ships, they win in spectacular fashion.

I get that they have experienced wide spread destruction but the fees they will earn will make up for that and then some since it's long-term.

The US has spent closer to $100 billion on this war.

It has suffered unreported losses to bases on the ground.

It has suffered its global military and political leadership.

A reversion to the JCPOA, but instead of the $1.4 billion that Obama released and the right went apoplectic over, it will be closer to $20 billion.

And...Iran won't give up control of the Strait of Hormuz, and knows it can shut it down anytime it wants, and harm the global economy. That is pretty much worse than having a nuclear weapon.

Art of the Deal, right?

Americans paying $100 more for gas, $100 more for bombs, $100 more for tariffs; are we winning yet?

Is it going to be more like 1898 or 1961?

You forgot to mention that the people of Iran were in the streets, staring down guns, protesting and now...not protesting. There won't be regime change. Trump has pushed the people back in to the arms of the government and made himself and us the enemy again.

All that TONS of money, lost lives, and WE look like idiots.

He should have left Obama's deal in place years ago. We lose now, because Trump and Hegseth are frickin morons.

Shooting what , irans dead cat bounce with a handful of last small ships and leftover drones? Time for the us to finish them as they say in mortal Kombat and if they are willing to abide by the terms maybe a babality

No thanks. I'm not interested in putting troops on the ground in Iran - and neither is 75+% of the US.

Let's just declare victory, go home, and stop digging this hole any further. The "excursion" of choice has been a collossal waste of money and munitions that has demonstrably made the world less safe and more poor. Every day this continues just compounds the negative impacts.

I assume we can’t say we won and go back to the way things were since Iran now knows just how much leverage they have with the Strait of Hormuz. We are cooked. Inflation will be like nobody has ever seen.

+1

How mortifying. It’s astonishing actually how colossally stupid Trump is.

Narrator: The Strait of Hormouz is not being reverted to the pre-war stance.

Iran now controls when it is "open" or closed and what, if any, tolling will take place.

I don't care. I just want this war to end.

The sooner the better, yes, but there is no scenario where Iran isn't in better shape than it was before this started.

Iran just attacked energy infrastructure in the UAE. They have also attacked multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz today.

They are terrorists, through and through. Utterly despicable.

No they have a right to defend themselves. Isn’t that what you Israelis say?

A regime that has spent 50+ years terrorizing those they hate is somehow the victim in your eyes? Also, weird that you continue to call anyone you disagree with an Israeli. Grow up.

Are you for real? Look at what Israel has done to Iran for 50 years. In your f’ed up Israel first world Israel can killed, rape, commit terrorism, bomb embassies, use proxies against Iran, place bombs in crowds, build nuclear weapons, etc and Iran can not respond?

Israel is the terrorists country and you support these terrorists.

I don’t consider trying to eradicate the world of a poisonous, murderous regime to be terrorism. I suppose when you’re the terrorist - or a sympathizer - you would feel differently.

It’s sad that we have to look overseas for any type of leadership or direction, but I suppose we should be grateful that there’s anyone at all to tell these clowns the truth. Nice to see the smug. Bessent put in his place.

Oh, you’re definitely a terrorist sympathizer. Do you feel any shame at all?

That's something we can and should talk about after it ends.
