@CamoDiver@ScottMGreer The losses are political. We didn’t lose much. However if this stands and Iran gets stronger then they will build an icbm. They will pose a threat to America in the future if the current Islamic regime stands. They are basically a more organized version of isis
@RazorFist I am going to have to blame the people on the ground. Prince Pahlavi said the people on the ground would rise up. The army would defect. They didn’t. I wish they did but the iron fist of the Irgc beat the fear into them. What more could the USA do besides a ground invasion.
@matthewstoller@TheArmedLiberal The primary way they are exerting pressure is that they are bombing their neighbors gas fields, residential buildings, and desalination plants. They are bombing non aligned oil tankers. They do not control the strait if they can’t even get their tankers out. That is not normal.
@Demsindissaray@Osint613 How about when Colombia threatened to not take any deportations? How about when Europe reversed a bunch of their tariffs under threat? How about remain in Mexico for the border? How about taking stock out of intel instead of free money? Trump rx?
@Israel2252 The USA is the only notable country in the world that backs Israel. Israel is surrounded by Muslims who would have been quite happy to join together to destroy Israel. No one besides USA could have stopped that.
@hesamorouji Air Force destroyed, navy destroyed, top leaders killed. Basijj outpost and presincts destroyed. Arm manufacturing destroyed. What more do you want? Weapons? Who would the weapons go to exactly? You want a land invasion? The ceasefire was the time to act. No one came out.
@TimmyFiveTimes@KyleKulinski And you know Trump can just restrict the export of oil right? He can simply charge a tax on exports and it will be more expensive to sell it overseas.
@LettieriBarba@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@seanspicer@harryjsisson That's a bit shallow thinking. How many people died from Covid last year. Very little so that means Covid was not a threat? He obviously means the thousands of people killed through the Iraq and Afghanistan wars through Iran proxies and weapons.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 Experience matters. We are seeing it in real time as the Ukrainians have sacrificed blood and metal for the past 3 years. They are going to be one of the pre-eminent defense contractors when it comes to drones.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 Oh come on. A better response would be that their industrial power will overwhelm any opponent. They can produce so many drones that no advance defense system can defend against it.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 When was the last time China won a war facing any opponent directly? They literally have no direct experience in war for the past century. They were being torn apart by the colonial powers and would be conquered by Japan by now without USA.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 In the court of public opinion you're probably right. However China may be flashy but they have no experience in war. They may produce everything but part of their success has been buying cheap sanctioned energy. Their economy is not in a great place either.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 Iran war is a clear loss in the court of public opinion in USA. The American public has a very low tolerance for pain and the war was not sold well to the public. Trump wanted an easy win like in Venezuela. The Iranian fanatics will not be beaten so easily.
@Variable9637@rickjeff78 You say 13 Americans are dead. I say that's a trivial amount of deaths. Then you say Trump is begging to get out of this (which I agree with).
I don't get it.
