No it's actually saving the dollar and starting a new era of prosperity.
Trump saved all of us in the West.

>>532330465
Yes. Vietnam at least had SOME support at the start. Even Iraq had more public support at this point.
Trump is legit a fucking retard to start this shit now.

Yes, because Vietnam didn't control any major shipping routes.

Yes because atleast the US was successful in their objective for the most part.
Here they’re fumbling hard. We’re nearing a month of striking Iran and they are not backing down and still have a massive missile arsenal.
This excludes the massive international opposition to the war too.

I've posted this before, but it's far, far worse than Vietnam in every dimension except casualties.

Vietnam was not geopolitically important. It was retarded cold warriors thinking they had to fight commies and turning it into an major ideological battlefield. In reality, US could've left like France and...what would've happened? Nothing. Literally nothing. A totally stupid war. But it looks like genius compared to Iran.

Iran is an actual military defeat. Not in body count, yet, but that's actually a sign of how bad it is: The US can't even get forces into Iran to be slaughtered. All their forward operating bases have been destroyed. Let me repeat that for the retarded: ALL THEIR BASE ARE BELONG TO IRAN. Even F-22s have been recalled because it doesn't matter if they're stealth in the air, they're sitting ducks on the ground. The carriers don't dare get within 1000km of Iran.

So US military doctrine and performance has been throughly neutered. Stupid arrogant nigger brained mutts will say we're not losing people, but that's the same as incels saying no women reject them. They can't actually get in the fight.

And the ones that do are getting shot down. F-35, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, A-10, all getting damaged or destroyed. How well do you think Marines in slow V-22s are going to do?

They're bombing bridges, universities and hospitals because they can't penetrate military targets and their Intel is all from Mossad. That's not winning, that's just doing Israel's dirty work.

The missiles are still flying. Interceptor stocks are so depleted, they're using F-15s to chase Shahid drones. They're stealing weapons from Asia and Europe. There's literally nothing they can hit in Iran that wouldn't hurt 10x more in retaliation. And Israel won't let them leave.

Political failure. Military failure. If you want a historical analog, look at Napoleon's invasion of Spain. Quagmire. And he thought he'd won in Moscow too and kept waiting until disaster became guaranteed.

>>532330465
In a vacuum, no, because we are very early into the conflict. But knowing Trump’s narcissistic personality plus Israeli pressure, it very well could be. If Russia and the PRC step up SAM deliveries, the U.S. will be blown out of the skies as they approach Iranian airspace.

One big difference is that LBJ was never 100% in on the war. Privately, he was very torn. Trump, though, is so narcissistic that he has zero doubts that he will win.

The dangerous part is Trump resorting to nukes as a way to avoid narcissistic collapse.
>>
>>532331283
It was an audio recording from his USMC officer son-in-law, telling him how fucked it was in South Vietnam. The war took a psychological toll on LBJ. Imagine him going upstairs and trying to fall asleep to the sound of protesters chanting “hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?” That’s why he quit in 68 and committed slow-motion suicide, dying four years later.

Yes, the decision to go to war with Iran is worse than the decision to go toward in Vietnam because this war with Iran, regardless of the military outcome, will result in the end of the US global hegemony.

You poor naive retards.

Boots haven’t even hit the ground yet, and if they do (which they would have to if they want regime change), it will be a bloodbath. This is Afghanistan on crack. They have been prepping for this war forever, and the US ran into it with none of the advantages it had in other, arguably less imposing conflicts, which mind you have not all been wins. The entire country is mountains, desert, militias, drone systems, and naval forces meant to wear down the US before it even crosses the Gulf and every moment after.
Imagine the Taliban if they weren’t ragtag farmers with AKs, but instead an actual country with real funding that has been preparing specifically to fight the US for decades, with the US having only a fraction of the advantages it did then.
You’re not even able to pull out anymore either, because unlike the Taliban, Iran has actual bargaining power by controlling one of the key points for oil trade that the US petrodollar relies on. This is happening at a critical time for an already battered US economy, and all at the benefit of your biggest economic rival in the east.

To answer OP’s questions: the answer is yes in a best case scenario and ten times yes in a worst. Vietnam was genuinely nothing compared to a potential overseas invasion of a mountainous fortress that has had decades of prep time and real economic weight. This wouldn't be a american collapse but it would be a economic, societal and human cost beyond what Vietnam ever produced.

I dislike the US, but I genuinely pray with all my heart boots don’t hit the ground because I would wish this on absolutely nobody. Even if Iran fell, which could be seen as a positive, there is no possible way it would ever be worth the actual meat grinder this war would be. I genuinely implore you as supposed American patriots to consider what the point and cost of this is.
>>
>>532330849

Nonsense. America can win this. It can walk away but if it does it creaks, cracking into collapse, besides it is just stoking it.

Collapse causes what globally? Think, it affects literally everything.

Besides America doesn't simply collapse into a Suez. Britain had plenty of those. It really collapsed after WW2. Not before. Of course WW1 was the fall. It was all Empires then. What shaped after were nations. America sooner dominated.

Britain has been a case of deindustrialisation. Causing it to be a shadow. Services faster funneling it out instead of industrialization keeping it in.

inexplicably attacking Iran was the biggest political mistake ever made in the history of the office of the US president
worse than vietnam, iraq or any other war, by orders of magnitude, tantamount to actual literal treason on behalf of jews.
Iran is an abstraction more meaningless to the average Americans life than co-secant or recipricol math. Absolutely no one could articulate how a war with Iran would provide even them most obscure, tangental benefit to an Americans life.. NO ONE. Iran is so unimaginably meaningless and so far from any relevance to an Americans life you could not poll a million of them at random and get a single coherent response out of them to the question of how the "Ayatollah of Iran" does or does not matter to their daily life.. in a world where Americans are most worried about the cost of living, and the general socio-politcal psychosis that is now their daily life, some inexplicable war prosecuted against Iran with this psychotic religious frenzie as if it is Iran with 2 nuclear carriers, 400 jets and unknown amount of submarines outside our international waters absolutely pounding our infrastructure is simply too far into the ludicrous. its simply 'too far'. its insane. and Trump will forever be remembered as the biggest scourge in American political history who catalyzed the end of America as international world power.

The absolute fucking madness that is this hair-on-fire frenzie that the US had to go to war with Iran NOW NOW NOW NOW is so inexplicable, so unnecessary and so fucking ass-retarded its almost impossible to articulate

We buy our nukes from America. Trident was invented by Americans. Colonies oh yeah we have influence not real industry. Influence you mean bureaucracy. Can't cannot shouldn't should've and won't. A superpower suggests being ontop of something? Cannot think of what apart from narratives. Did you wear a blouse, it's a crime if you didn't. So empowering.
>>
>>532330465
What a thought OP. Absolutely no. He ain't no Bush. Those are the parallel of wars you should be be asked to be explored with Vietnam. I am genuinely looking forward to see if a month from now Trump has found a way to get out of this nonsense. We have never really had a president like Trump so you can't really rely on a historical equivalent situation. I wish him the best. The last thing we need is another decade or two of fighting sand people and hemorrhaging money.

No. America has a clear path to victory here.
Trump can simply detonate Iran's oil and gas sector and this ends overnight.
Iran's only recourse is to bomb the oil and gas sector of the middle east which is actually really great for the US in the long term.

Think long term.
>>
>>532330465

It depends on how long the Straits stay closed. I think Shock and Awe tier bombing is up next. If that doesn't work, then Trump is in big trouble.
>>
>>532330465
if strait remains closed after retreat, yes.
>>
>>532335060
Trump is going to retreat but also block the Strait of Hormuz for Iranian oil tankers.
He will claim his victory this way. Saying Iran isn't blocking the Strait, he is.
The ensuing oil price rise will force everyone to make a deal.

They bombed Iran more on the first day than in Shock and Awe.

I think Vietnam didn't have that much economical impact, but I could be mistaken.
>>
>>532339391
It had localized economical impact.

But for Iran it's global economical impact since the US is attacking the region where a lot of the oil comes from. And oil does not just make cars go, it's necessary in a plethora of industries so everything is going up in price as a domino effect.

>>532330507
>era of prosperity
>petrodollar
The only thing the petrodollar ever did was this:
>gave us an excuse to just print out more money when we needed it instead of fixing the federal debt so inflation wouldn't shoot through the roof
>torturing other countries by using sanctions instead of our military

And it was mainly used for the second point. Inflation was going to increase over time no matter what, the petrodollar simply delays the inevitable just enough for the US to spin the blame for rising costs onto something else. We have no actual military might as Iran demonstrates. Only economic might. Which is why so many people are saying this is the end of the American Empire. A multipolar world will kill the US and we intend to bring whoever else we can down with us as we die screaming.

Are you retarded?

Vietnam lasted 10 years,we passed the draft to fight it, it got 70,000 US troops killed as well as 2 million Vietnamese.

So far we've been fighting Iran for a month and US casualties are still in the single digits.

No its not worse than Vietnam you pudding brained chucklefuck.
