Oh, bravo. What a once-in-a-generation masterclass in statecraft we’ve just witnessed.
Let’s review the brilliant strategy.
We launched an absolutely necessary war against Iran to assassinate a religious leader and stop a nuclear program that, according to the very people selling us the war, had already been completely destroyed eight months earlier.
Flawless. Absolutely flawless. No notes.
To achieve this stunning victory, we set $80 billion on fire and called it strategy. We turned innocent civilians into collateral damage and called it liberation. Then we successfully engineered a regime change that replaced the previous government with a younger, even more radical, hyper-extreme version of the exact same leadership.
But wait, the economic genius gets even better.
We transformed the Strait of Hormuz, previously a free, open, and functioning global shipping lane, into the world’s most expensive traffic jam. This absolute stroke of brilliance forced the rest of the planet to absorb an extra $200 billion in fuel costs, simply for the privilege of funding the spectacle, all while battering the world’s economy in the process.
Meanwhile, the United States managed to burn through half its conventional munitions stockpile, absorb billions in damage to its own Middle Eastern bases, sacrifice American lives, leave an untold number of service members wounded, and destabilize every neighboring country within reach, all while handing Israel a blank check to continue expanding its footprint in Lebanon.
So what do we get as a reward for this immaculate, error-free exercise in strategic genius?
Naturally, we unfreeze $100 billion in Iranian assets.
Then we hand them another $300 billion in cash to rebuild what we just spent billions destroying.
And as a final chef’s kiss, we grant them an official license to oversee the very Strait of Hormuz that this war was supposedly fought to secure. And, apparently, name their price for passage going forward.
And what does the United States get in exchange for this masterpiece of strategic thinking?
Nothing. Nothing but pain and a country at home divided over israel.
Not a single strategic position improved.
Not a single objective achieved that could not have been achieved without the war.
Unless, of course, you count being poorer, weaker, more indebted, and vastly more vulnerable than the day we started.
In that case, mission accomplished.
Truly, a diplomatic triumph for the ages.
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
$300 billion is 5 X as much as Congress spends on our roads & bridges annually. I’m tired of winning.
The U.S.A. “undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of” Iran.
@MattWalshBlog Wait, I thought you and the american zionists said THIS WAS about the United States and its safety…
If the was wasn’t about focusing in the US, what was it focused on???

@LauraLoomer You’re a raging animal, with an absolute thirst for death—as long as it’s at the hands of israel or dealt to those who disagree with them.
Just breathe… breathe… easy now.
