Iran

Lol. Medications can help

Great advice- quit skipping yours.

I'm not a liberal. I don't constantly need meds.

I'm not a liberal. I don't constantly need meds.

Just because you aren't taking them (against the advice of everyone) doesn't mean you don't need them. Your history speaks for itself.

Some remedial middle school-level classes may help you, as well.

So you think America is losing this war?

The US loses by simply fighting. The approval rating for this war is extremely low

Did the US lose in Afg and Iraq?

 

[TheDeeble]

So you think America is losing this war?

"Losing" is subjective.

Militarily? No. Will Iran military defeat the US military? No.

Will Trump get what he wants from Iran in a reasonable timeframe? Also no. At some point I think pressure from within and from other countries will have Trump cave in to some of Iran's demands. And then he will make out like it's the greatest deal in the history of the world. Iran doesn't need their military to "win the war". They only have to cause enough worldwide pain for Trump to give up.

Will Trump's war with Iran be good in the longterm? Probably not.

Trump confirms he called Netanyahu 'crazy,' as he says Israel is complicating peace talks with Iran

But even as the U.S. president acknowledged the tensions, he insisted that his relationship with Netanyahu was solid and they connected, in part, because they're both “wartime” leaders.

They've (DOD) already released a report. 20 billion give or take. I saw it early..

This includes spent munitions which comprises of about 70 percent of cost here.

Is it a waste? Yes.

I would have just kept assassinating leader after leader and stayed out of the straight and I would have done it covertly.

Their navy is gone and they are in compliment chaos but like Afghan (not in the ME but crazy) you cannot desl with radicals so they just keep coming.

The only way to solve this is to have China in the talks and to control them. Without China, Iran is gone in 5 minutes.

The House has now passed a war powers limiting act also the Senate apparently did one in May. No combined act yet and there isn’t a veto proof majority.

Its cover for GOP members who need to distance themselves from Trump in October.

Well, in fairness, this was a totally unpredictable move by the Iranians.

And I'm sure Trump will soon explain that he was warned about it by his team and its not their fault he has so badly underestimated Iran.

It’s cover for GOP members who need to distance themselves from Trump in October.

No it’s actually a political play for Dems to get GOP on the record sanctioning a very unpopular war. Only five crossed over and a couple are gone after this term anyway. Massie for example. It can be both but it’s largely Dem campaign fodder

 

[Redleg68]

Yep, and it just made it twice as hard to make the Iranians agree to anything.

 

[EasternVol]

Lol, the reason we extend the cease fire is to show good faith. We've decimated them and could do way if we wanted to. Get your tds meds and go back to sleep.

Good faith? Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Kusnher and Witkoff? You're tripping.

We can't stop them from holding the strait without ground troops

We are terrified of them using proxies to take Bab al‑Mandeb Strait.

Combined that would lock the world out 35-40% of the oil.


Drones, speed boats, and mines. The days of just being able to blow people out of the water are over. See Ukraine and Russia.

This is why you don't half ass war. Go all in with troops and bombs or don't go in at all.

The belief we could usher in regime change with bombs was short sighted and arrogant

We’ve been told time and again that their navy is destroyed, but I can’t figure out how they’re keeping the straight closed if this is the case.
Have they simply flooded it with mines?

I think the navigable portion of the straight is so close to Iran that mines are not the only concern. I think land based munitions would be able to hit tankers without sufficient time for them to be stopped, especially if fired in volume.

It is likely an insurance issue as much as military.

Didn’t think of that ……

Lloyds of London and other insurures are keeping the straight closed. I thought you were in the insurance business?

Nice to know they're closing it for no reason.

 

[hog88]

Very insightful

 

[ButchPlz]

Very insightful

Definitely more insightful than a smoothbrain claim that an insurance company is out there keeping a strait closed for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

You responded to a legitimate question with the assertion that the strait is closed because of insurers. It's an exceptionally idiotic take. Senility looks really bad on you.

It is closed because insurers have informed their clients they will not cover losses for anyone transiting the straight. Not because Iran has the capability to actually close the straight.

Is royal azzhole your normal look?
