> Trump back in charge

I needed a good laugh.

>>1498724
All this just so Bibi can continue staying in power. Continued war is the only thing keeping Israel from factionalizing and him away from a jail cell for corruption. Or maybe he just started huffing his own supply. One of the failings of totalitarians, fascists in particular, is that they start to believe their own propaganda about how they're invincible, while purging any naysayers. Get a few small lucky breaks, and suddenly they think they can conquer the world.

you will never be american, esl shill

tRump & Net & Ya-Hoo, both looking for a get out of jail free card.

Goldwater would've ended the war in 1966

>>1498785
Same as 2009
Same as always
Make money shorting the economy and stay out of prison

How do you fuck up a war this hard

>>1498789
You fire everyone who would've told you it was a terrible idea, then go along with the foreign powers more interested in killing muslims and staying out of prison than actual long term survival.

>ally that infiltrates your government, sends your citizens to die, steals and sells your technology tells you bombing a foreign nation is a good idea
>create global recession
>"How could Iran do this?"

>>1498785
>Iran's restrained retaliation for prior transgressions demonstrated weakness to him (see appeasement).
>Domestic agenda taken about as far as it can be taken at the moment.
>Taking out Maduro boosted his confidence for foreign interventions.
>Distraction from domestic failures (ICE, Epstein, economy, etc.).
>Shore up flagging numbers with a rally around the flag effect (see ancient Trump tweet about how Obama would start a war with Iran to boost his popularity).
>Iran would strike America anyway when Israel hit them.
>He's had one too many strokes.

>>1498792
I don’t believe Iran would strike America if Israel were to act alone in starting war with Iran. In the Twelve Day War Iran didn’t attack America until the end when they launched against the US base in Qatar and that was only after the US had bombed the nuclear sites.
It’s really bizarre to me that the Americans keep assuming Iran is going to react differently than it has been when every single time they do exactly what they said they were going to do.
I don’t understand how the American strategists have become so incredibly stupid and then you have Trump complaining that NATO aren’t helping when they obviously were never going to help under these circumstances and they aren’t required to either.

>>1498833
America has strategists. Trump not only doesn’t listen to them, he doesn’t even consult them. We’ve been wargaming this shit for years, and when this stupid narcissistic douchebag started the war he used none of them.

>>1498837
Correction, America HAD strategists. I don’t know if we still do, because Trump’s also been firing anyone and everyone who knows how to do anything.

>>1498839
That’s true, they’ve been Trump cultists for two years now it’s why you have psychopaths like Hegseth in positions of power

>>1498846
*exclusively promoting Trump cultists

>>1498833
It's the
>my brother was going to crash the car so I did it first
argument.

>>1498837
Hegseth was apparently running around calling anyone who disagreed with him nerds who didn't fight in a real war like he did.

Non rumor/meme, the subject-matter experts were all shouting that the straight would be shut down and oil infustructure may be hit. They were basically called pussies.

>>1498839
The infilitration has only been partial. Trump is still pretty unpopular in the officer corp, though I know some general was recently in the news for giddily giving a speech about how these were the end times.

>>1498848
Good god Hegseth is such a fucking loser. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone this pathetic in a position of power, and I’ve seen Trump.
What a time to be alive.

>>1498839
>>1498846
>>1498848
>>1498852
Honest to god the sheer retardation of Hegseth needs to be fucking studied when this admin finally ends. This is a man so obsessed with an almost cartoonish "warrior ethos" to the point he blatantly ignores actual strategist who have kept the US out of stupid conflicts and poorly thought out missions for decades all because he seems obsessed with creating "warriors". He literally feels so much like a fucking LARPer whose main military experience is Warhammer 40k games which is shocking because HE DID ACTUALLY SERVE (granted not in any major roles but still) and yet he still has a view of war and strategy on par with a teenager. Every single time we've seen the actually tenured and experienced generals interact with him it's blatantly clear he has no one's respect but Trump himself, who seems to have fully bought in to what he's selling to the point he's letting him take full reigns in clusterfucks like this. The rest of the US military is all beholden to the whims and fixations of a fucking idiot. It's like watching someone make a perfectly running factory over the course of decades and then hand the reigns over to their 12 year old son who promptly cuts every safety regulation and starts tossing random shit in the gears for fun.

>>1498855
you sound sabine

>>1498855
I don’t see the need. He’s just a larping retard; he’s only anything special because he happens to be in charge. If you want to study something then look in to how our government and military system fucked up so badly that someone like this got and kept any kind of authority.

>>1498866
>If you want to study something then look in to how our government and military system fucked up so badly that someone like this got and kept any kind of authority.
Partisan politics. He's still pretty popular because he was on FOX and pisses off academics/professionals (aka "leftists").

Why is it that you guys make arguments that sound like they come from a child?

This was absolutely makes the US look strong. Do you know what doesn't make the U.S. look strong? Biden wagging his finger at Iran while they completely ignore him and build nukes that they will immediately use on Americans while chanting death to America.

In what world do you live in where you think THAT is the strong United States?

As if it weren't enough that all the America haters, including George Soros, Rosie O'Donnell, et all, are on your side here.

>>1498866
What is happening internally is probably far more retarded (and interesting) than what we can see externally. And what we can see externally is already extremely retarded.

>>1498875
>blindly following bibi into a recession is strength
Trump is a bitch. Roll over. Sit up. Beg.

Sounds about right.

>>1498855
This what happens when the Democrats spend four years making everything about troons coddling criminals. It's guaranteed to happen again too after the next wave of progressives get in power and then lose it.

>>1498882
did you just bring up your fetish out of the blue again and blame it on democrats

>>1498882
>See it's the Democrats fault we're retarded

>>1498882
The rainbow capitalism tone policing practiced by corpos and centrist dems is annoying and fake, but it has no effect on your day-to-day life like an oil shortage. Oil production getting bombed means not just the price of gas going up, but anything that is transported by vehicle (basically all goods) becoming more expensive and food shortages (because gas facilities make a key ingredient of fertilizers). Besides, I think that type of woke is dead. It was mostly a millennial thing, and was ass like most of their cultural contributions.

>>1498882
I’d take troons coddling “criminals” over fascists coddling actual criminals any day. The open, blatant corruption of this administration is fucking insane, even ignoring how much they’re fucking up every aspect of this country.

>>1498882
a) I don't see trannies around in the wild. They're a very online phenomenon, where yes, they are loud and obnoxious, but they have no impact on me. I only see them if I look for them or someone on /v/ posts a Xitter screencap.

b) The right talks and thinks way more about trannies than the left does. /pol/tards talk and think more about trannies than trannies do. With all the problems we're facing and will be facing, culture war bullshit is just not that significant. Trannies don't feel like a big deal when oil production is getting fucked, leading to stagflation and food shortages. Countries have literally been rationing, swapping to four-day work weeks, remote working initiatives, etc. to cope.

>>1498914
> Countries have literally been rationing, swapping to four-day work weeks, remote working initiatives, etc. to cope.

All of this is giving me the same feelings of foreboding that watching covid hit country after country gave me back in 2020. You know that in the US, they'll just gaslight us.

>Prices have never been better. If you can't afford the $8/gal gas to go to work on top of your other living and health expenses, then fuck you, we're not letting you do your office job from home.

redpill me on just blowing up all of irans oil, just absolutely devastating their economy, continuing the bombing of military targets, and then letting them be poor and mad and starve until they give in. Their entire economy is packed in highly flammable, immobile tanks. We know where these tanks are. Why not just blow them up? If they try to bomb our soil we nuke them. If they bomb Israel more than they can take, Israel will nuke them.
Blow up the oil kill the beast

>>1498963
If we bomb their oil, they bomb the rest of the gulf's oil. No, we can't prevent that. This would send oil skyrocketing to astronomical highs, obliterating the global economy. Which is exactly what's happening and what this thread's about.
If the solution to Iran was "just bomb them lmao" then someone would have done it already. That's why no other president would do this, as Trump is fond of saying. None of them were stupid enough to do so.

>>1498964
You're right their culture is very revenge focused.
Ok fine so we hit all their missile silos with more of those 5000 pound bunker busters. We blow up their utilities, they don't need electricity. We destroy any member of the guard or the militia that pokes its head out.

Then we blow up their oil. Or take it. It should be seized as reparations for having to teach these terrorists all these lessons.

>>1498968
What did I just say, retard?

>>1498970
>They'd bomb the other arabs
>What if we get rid of their ability to do anything but starve
No response just going to insult me eh

>>1498973
>No, we can't prevent that.
>If the solution to Iran was "just bomb them lmao" then someone would have done it already.
Read, nigga. We can't accomplish that with bombing. And even if we could, they'd still take gulf oil down with them, which would still send oil skyrocketing to astronomical highs, obliterating the global economy.
And that's also ignoring how ludicrously fucking evil it is to destroy an entire country and it's people, but you know.

>>1498875

I wish I could cope as well as you guys. It sounds fun.

If our so-called NATO "allies" continue their refusal to help with opening the straight of Hormuz, which would be very easy, quick, simple and safe for them to do, now that the war has been largely won, I may have to reaffirm our commitment to securing Greenland for our national security. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that, but we'll see. The ball is in Europe's court. We funded NATO for decades, getting nothing in return, now it's time for them to pay us back, in one way or another. I rebuilt our military, the strongest in the world, in my first term, and I will use it to its fullest extent to secure the safety of the United States, and the world, in whatever way I see fit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>1498963
that would be a massive ecological disaster you fucking retard, every oil depot that gets blown up is a biohazard. God damn you are so fucking stupid.

>>1499392
is it possible for you to not type like such a faggot, like could you at the very minimum have the most basic respect for your fellow man to not talk in such a performative little-dicked manner, it makes me feel embarrassed for your mother's pussy having created someone this much of a retarded faggot
