Trump is now caught in the oldest trap of modern warfare – believing a swift, surgical military operation will yield quick, enduring political results. The Soviets did it in Afghanistan; the US in Iraq in 2003; Putin did it in Ukraine, and is still fighting. Whatever force a military fails or succeeds in applying at the start, the people it is attacking have greater commitment to defending their lands and homes.
The White House may have rushed into this, seizing the opportunity for a decapitation strike, provided by Israeli intelligence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has very different objectives regionally, and a long US involvement against Tehran suits his desire for an Iran in rolling collapse that is no longer a threat. But the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28 has caused as many problems as it has solved.
I’m willing to bet this is Trumps and by extension America’s 3 day special operation. And I mean that down to the expectation this would all be over in 3-4 days after the extensive bombing and killing of the upper leadership in the first day.
Instead Iran was all “nah we’re good, we’ve been preparing for this day for 15-20 years”. And started fucking up the whole region.
This war can go on for years… so you are possible right.
Well, now we all know what happens when you make a felon rapist pedo the most influential person on the planet.
Iran gets a vote.
And that’s it. This war is going to at least last through November because Iran now wants to hurt Donald politically.
Remember the last world leader who said it’ll be over in a few days…
Modern? Nobody remembers the blitzkrieg?
Israel said that it worked for them, and all they want is sufficient disruption to continue their own invasions. Trump is the fool for so so many reasons.
Israel needs lebensraum.
Yada yada live long enough to become the villain.
Calling it now, when striking military targets fails to get surrender, we will switch to war crimes, Israel and then the US will start hitting water, food, and transportation infrastructure.
The only way to get victory from this war is genocide.
It’s not a war crime is it’s the first time.
Wonder what new horrors the torment nexus can cook up.
Why don’t the Torment Nexī ever just blow up and take the bad guys out?
They always reload the save when that happens.
They already have been. I know that at least one water desalination plant was hit. Civilian fuel infrastructure has been hit. The US openly stated they’re going to try to cripple their industrial capacity. Seems the US has adopted Israel’s Dahiya doctrine which targets civilian infrastructure. I think Trump said once the US is done there will be nobody left to surrender…
“At some point I don’t think there will be anybody left, maybe to say ‘we surrender.’ They’re being decimated.”
- Donald Trump
This war?
Uh, y’all already all in on that.
You’re about 2 weeks too late for that, US&Israel have committed multiple war crimes already.
And we know the Zionists are intensely relaxed about perpetrating genocide.
Because bombing a school isn’t a war crime in the US. It’s just a Tuesday
We blew up a school. It was war crimes from the start.
right out of the gate!
The plan was to distract from the Epstein files at any means necessary.
That fat cunt is unable to keep it’s trousers clean from it’s own shit.
So how the fuck anyone thinks that that waffling pile of dementia riddled syphilis can unfuck the murdering of schoolgirls in this Epstein war is laughable at best.
It’s almost like there was some sort of reason why no one else was stupid enough to do this.
They can have him, and his entire cabinet and advisors.
I’d even consider all of Congress and the Supreme Court for dessert. Then we can just start over.
I dunno about all of Congress. Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Corey Bush, and Rashida Talib have stood against the regime since day 1. They shouldn’t have to be handed over.
“Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please” - Niccolo Machiavelli
War is a choice, he could end it right now.
It’s a choice, it’s just not Trump’s choice: his handlers in Jerusalem and Moscow hold the reins
I know the first thing I would do is stop shooting at the nation that bombed and killed my family and 100+ kids because they stopped first.
We have radicalized an entire nation against the US for no reason anyone can actually explain. The only thing we taught every nation is that we can bomb you and take your leaders captive if you do not have nukes.
Not just a nation, a whole region. We did commit genocides in Afghanistan and Iraq too.
He can choose to no longer shoot at Iran, but he can not make Iran stop shooting at the US. It takes only one site to keep a war going.
The Middle East has been in constant threats and instability for the past century.
Donny boy has been living peacefully golfing and surrounded by yes men.
He’s kicked a lot of bee hives.
Trump, as an individual may not have a way out. Remember, Epstein was Mossad-trained and probably shared a lot of useful dirt with Israel.
But there is always a path to peace; and in this case it starts with the US backing off. Iran doesn’t have much capacity for war beyond protecting itself.
Exactly the same as how there’s a way for Russia to have peace in Ukraine.
The implication I haven’t seen explicitly mentioned in the article (which it should be! Bad article) is “there is no way for Trump to stop the war without losing face and thus his power”.
The reason they keep going is because otherwise they have to admit they were wrong. And probably not only wrong, but knowingly wrong, which equals malicious. And admitting that you’re malicious is bad, even with your most loyal supporters. The only way to not have that happen is to just keep going and act as if everything is fine, which is what’s happening.
The actual “path to peace” is very very simple, you just have to retreat your troops. It’s supremely unlikely Iran will attack halfway around the globe with their infrastructure.
I don’t know if just stopping the attack is going to work this time. Iran was significantly attacked and will want some form of retribution in order to remind the USA to never do this again.
The USA and Israel will need to pay costs for peace.
The last time someone succeeded at that, it made the USA even worse.
They’ve backed on tons of things before without admitting any wrongdoing, I don’t see how this is different
The implication I haven’t seen explicitly mentioned in the article (which it should be! Bad article) is “there is no way for Trump to stop the war without losing face and thus his power
basically what I was trying to get at. But I’m not sure that it’s a matter of losing face, and rather that Netanyahu is holding some damning evidence (of the epstein files variety) over him.
as mentioned on other posts, the easiest way to deal with blackmail material is to just release it all.
Sleep now in the bed you shit on.
