WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over,” suggesting that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated the Islamic Republic and caused reverberations across the global economy.
The rest of the world believes USA lost that war.
Citizens of the US believe it too. We got our expensive invincible airforce bases leveled, our protection treaty racket over OPEC laughed out of existence, our vaunted navy ran for the hills while cargo ships got sunk, our economy is trashed, for no results whatsoever. And our legendary military is no longer scary to those that would challenge it in the future. All by a country we wont even admit is a mid-tier power. Its possibly a more thorough embarrassment than Vietnam for our nationalists and warhawks.
All in all we had it coming and its long overdue. But its criminal to all those killed or hurt to one level or another, and the trashing of the global economy. And israel still plays us like a hand puppet to this day. Americans will personally pay the price for the zionists war-orgy on an enemy that wasnt a real military threat to America at all.
Don’t forget pissing off al your “allies”, who weren’t consulted, and whose economy is also being fucked by oil prices.
I would tend to agree, but I’m still not sure what the purpose of the war was, so I’m fuzzy on if the US achieved its goals or not.
One possible reason would be that Putin wanted to push up global oil prices to fund his ten day special military operation in Ukraine, so he invoked Agent Krasnov to stem the flow from the Middle East. I dunno though, because Russia and Iran were supposed to be pals.
I’m semi-joking anyway, but in today’s world, who knows?
They stated multiple times at the start of this shitshow that the clear aim was to topple the government and replace it with a pro American one. They drew the red carpet for the Shah’s son and paraded him around US and European tv stations. They also declared they would completely neutralize Iran’s nuclear program. As far as I can tell they have achieved none of these things
Main goal: stop their uranium enrichment Secondary: destroy as much of their military as possible Third: weaken the regime enough to allow the Iranians to topple the regime
A colossal failure, then.
I don’t think so. Primary seems to have worked, that seems to be on hold and they offered to part with their stock of highly enriched uranium in the MoU, something they were adamantly against before the attack Secondary: they must have done bilions of damage in these strikes, destroying infrastructure, navy and airforce. So certainly not what they hoped for wrt missile capability but yeah, massive damage Third: no real movement there. If we’re positive the above certainly have weakened their position vs no action
