    The premise is wrong. Wars operate on entirely different logic than markets. Trump and his economic advisers seem to think Iran will capitulate because its economy is "collapsing" but Iran doesn't operate on economic rationality. They operate on military capacity (which the US cannot destroy without a ground invasion), political will (which they control domestically), and national survival (which is precisely why they will never surrender the leverage that keeps them viable as a state). They will outlast the economic pain because economic pain was never part of their calculation to begin with.

    And im perfectly content with Russia controlling Ukraine, just like you are content with one of the worst global regimes, who by the way absolutely hates liberals and everything about their ideology, controlling a massive chunk of the world oil supply

    I find it funny how you cultists can't comprehend that the strait of hormuz was open before the war and they weren't controlling the world's oil supply before the war. Also Trump has already ruled out regime change in Iran so you'll still have the same evil regime in place but much richer now.

    Are there any conservatives who arent low iq on these forums that can coherently debate their pov?

    That's what tramp and hogsbreath can't fathom, how can a country endure after all the winning and bombing..............there regime doesn't give a F, if you bomb and bomb and bomb, they will not give in, all they have to do is SURVIVE. They don't care about the people in Iran, its about the regime and the Army, no one else matters. Either get on with the invasion or declare victory.................you don't think that Uranium is hidden under a mountain or split up in 10 different pieces. We were told the first bombing set them back a decade, go with that AGAIN and stop spending Billions of dollars on a NEEDLESS war.

    LMAO… it’s interesting watching how the internet made you male Gen Xers highly re*arded Putin worshippers. Makes sense…. Musk likes Putin so you do too.

    Most importantly…. When is Iran getting a new regime? Has Israel told you yet?

    The US should not provide assistance to Ukraine in pushing back Russia's war of aggression, because doing so would mean confronting one of the worst global regimes.

    But the US should invade Iran to get rid of their regime, because not doing so means supporting one of the worst global regimes.

    Americans should fund, at all costs, to prolong a mass casualty war that largely requires the highly immoral practice of conscription between two very corrupt countries. Killing 2 million people is perfectly acceptable because my political party told me i should believe this.

    Regimes that routinely have one of the highest human rights violations should be guaranteed 100% immunity from the rest of the world. They absolutely have a right to exist, even if another country just simply gets tired of their stupid **** and bombs the **** out of them.

    The latest polls show 61% of Americans view the war on Iran ait as a mistake and fewer than 2 in 10 consider the action successful. Trump told his MAGA supporters in a school gym in the Villages today that he thinks it's treasonous for people to say we aren't winning the war with Iran. LOL, he's calling the majority of Americans treasonous by not agreeing with him saying he won this stupid war.

    Somehow, his logic always lines up to his republican overlords even when it contradicts what they said just a few weeks ago. Is MAGA for war or against war? Is what happens in other countries something we should worry about or not?

    Saturday, Trump told reporters that he was “looking at” a new Iranian peace proposal. Then a reporter reminded Trump that he had said the previous night that the US might be better off not making a deal with Iran.

    “Well, I wouldn’t have to. I didn’t say that,” Trump responded.

    Trump claiming he didn't say something that he obviously did is a pattern that continues over and over again. Doesn't this idiot realize he can be easily fact checked? I believe lying comes so naturally to him that he doesn't think at all before he lies.

    Whatever he does decide to do probably won't end well, because it usually doesn't. He and Hegseth want to be war heroes so bad, and Netaynhu will never be satisfied with anything less than bombing and destruction.

    1) Trump Rips Up Obama’s Iran Deal; 2) Iran Stockpiles Enough Unenriched Uranium for 100 Nuclear Bombs; 3) We Attack Iran To Get Back Uranium; 4) Trump Alienates NATO & Pope 4) Cost $50 Billion; 5) Execute Blockade 6) Did I Miss Anything?
