    If the blockade was working so amazing and Iran is on the verge of collapse then why bomb them?! Nothing these cultists say makes sense

    May collapse? A convenient escape hatch appeared.

    The stupidity on display is what I’m amused by.

    This idea of collapse likely started when Trump claimed that Iran told him they are in a "state of collapse," and voila, it got on social media for people to consume the BS like candy.

    I knew we were fcked when they admitted that they were blindsided by Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz…the incompetence from this low IQ, smooth brain, window licking regime along with the inability to forecast the consequences of their actions is at an all time high

    I’m sure anyone who’s still left with common sense they tell to stfu and get out if they’re not saying anything other than the war is a complete success, Iran is desperate for a deal and on the brink of collapse, etc

    All I know is Hegseth has a history of lying and Trump has a history of lying, and both will deceive Americans about the real costs of this war. They don't give a sh*t that Americans adamantly oppose the war. They don't give a damn about killing all those girls in a school, don't care that they've sent the entire world into chaos, don't care that they are spending billions upon billions, and are vastly underestimating and hiding the true costs of the war.

    It could get really ugly when we have those two malignant narcissists hellbent on making themselves look like heroes, along with Netaynhu the war criminal who is killing civilians left and right and committing war crimes in 3 countries at the same time, all urging each other on.

    Boys, in order to be a man, you need to know that sometimes in life, you will screw up. When you do, take the loss, learn from it, and move on. Don't do quagmire.

    These ladies are explaining why shiitheads like Baghdad Bob aka astro123 exist to carry the water for the mullahs of Iran.

    This whole blockading the blockade thing is so freaking stupid. You aren't progressing any of your target ambitions militarily while reaping all of the negative consequences economically of a war. Yes lets just sit around and do nothing while watching an energy and global economic crisis unfold. Sounds like fantastic planning.

    I said it before that a few weeks ago Trump should have just declared victory, brought everyone home, and left the strait up to the gulf states to figure out on their own as the wild wild west of naval commerce. Yes, Israel would have been furious but Fck them. Yes Iran could charge tolls but honestly I think our economic consequences are worse off now for the foreseeable future.

    There is no deal Iran will come to agree to because it's not in their vested long term interest for power in the region. They can take the economic pain where nobody else can, and you have a new supreme leader who by the tone of his message the other day, is out of fcks to give after Trump killed his family.

    This Iran war is an unmitigated disaster. How Trump supporters are STILL here showing him with un-dying praise is beyond pathetic.

    Well, given this is Day 60 of the war, the day that triggers the War Powers Act and legally requires an end to the war unless Congress authorizes it, we now find out that the war ended with the cease-fire. Lucky us. It's a brilliant strategy by the administration: declare a cease-fire on every Day 59 and you can have war forever without abiding by that pesky Constitution. We have always been at war with Eastasia except for one day every two months.

    (You know how I know the war has not ended? We haven't had a celebratory military parade down Constitution Avenue.)

    It's the equivalent of a siege. The USA is preventing Iran from getting its oil to market, which is decimating their economy, putting their natural resources in jeopardy of lasting damage, and is having the effect of bringing the Iranians back to the negotiating table... but this time begging like dogs. That is progressing ALL of the USA's interests. Surprised you can't see that. It's working beautifully.


    GOOD DAY

    Ukraine isn't about removing a brutal dictator.... it's about stopping an invasion from one.

    Are you completely ignoring that Russia and Iran are helping each other out militarily? You Muskrats have such a backwards notion of cause and effect.
