[War] Trump surrenders to Iran in a humiliating defeat

So, 3-4 months before economic hardship starts. And similar regimes can last years under comparable embargoes and airpower-only wars. Not surprising. But I think the bigger miss is that the rationale is wrong. The Iranian regime only cares about survival, not economic hardship, especially not for its people. Using blockade is definitely pressure, but not enough to break the regime.

The article ends by reflecting the flawed premise.

p.s. This is surprising: “Iran retains about 75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles”

 

Yeah, the picture is forming that the damage we did to Iran was less than we said and the damage Iran did to us was more than we admit.

Still, we are on track for unconditional surrender, right?

 

Trump might go for it, since he is so desperate to move on.

 

I think you're giving them way too much credit.

 

art deal.

 

Third US-Iran Trump war by my count. Or fourth.

 

Lost count.

 

I knew Trump was full of crap saying they were close to a deal again. Stock market manipulation.

 

You sure that's not from a couple days ago? I'm not seeing anything online.

 

No reports (formal or informal) or system alerts here. Could change any minute though, the mullahs are angry at us.

 

Y’all need a motel room

 

Aww, little mullah is angry too now. Cute.

 

I think we'd be angry too if they started bombing here and killed a school of girls on top of it. I doubt it's just angry mullahs as you say that are angry.

 

It's definitely not just them and I'd be very angry too if someone bombed a school anywhere. Don't fall for that buffoon's insinuation that I support any of that stuff. The mullahs are not the only people I dislike.
