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.
This dude started presidency with zero major crises, and has created at least three.
that’s like guessing how many jelly beans are in a jar.
there’s at least three!
And all he had to do was make life less soul-crushing economically, and people would have gladly lined up behind him to support anything he wants to do, no matter how awful.
But they’re not. They’re poor and starving, so he’s losing everyone, including his own coalition.
But its somehow biden and obamas fault.

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.
Well, now we all know what happens when you make a felon rapist pedo the most influential person on the planet.
Special shoutout for all the virtue signalling sitouts
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.
Trump can’t even end his own bowel movements, it just randomly starts, leaks, and stops. I am sorry, but expecting him to control anything when he can’t control his own bowels is an awfully big ask.
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.
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.
It’s not a war crime is it’s the first time.
Wonder what new horrors the torment nexus can cook up.
The only thing « they » won is a larger distraction from the Epstein files of a pedophile president.
It is pretty endable. We just give them our republican leaders and any democrat leaders that were in favor.
There will be some sort of financial reimbursement.
Might be able to spin it around and offer college admission to their students to help bridge the damage.
Operation Payback: rounding up all political leaders who allowed this to happen and shipping them to Iran and letting them deal with punishment.
Considering they have been shipping innocents around the world to be locked up in prisons without due process, they kind of deserve it.
I second that plan. We are going to need to make serious amends on the world stage if we want to repair relations, and that sounds like a good start. Hold the parties responsible for all of this.
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.

Orange fucker deserves what’s coming to him.
He’s going to bomb until he’s bored and then stop. That’s why it’s going to be air only (maybe ground special ops), air only is easy to stop. Well the US part is easy to stop, then it’s when does Iran stop.
“War is not some kind of a video game.” Nor it is a WWE episode.
Bastard now gonna have a “holy war” in his hands, and already happening almost at his doorstep.
It’s almost like there was some sort of reason why no one else was stupid enough to do this.
Correction: the war Netanyahu started, and Trump followed along with
