These idiots and their scorched earth threats. Worst B-movie villains ever.
Still don’t know why.
Just know we can’t have nice things here.
Because they have lots of oil and aren’t Christian.
Everything is 2 or 3 weeks. 10 years from now, it will over in 2 or 3 weeks.
I hope the sons and grandsons of MAGAs get hauled off to boot camp.
Will this be like how their military has been wiped out? Doesn’t he realise everyone just calls his bluff because he literally never goes through with anything he threatens.
Of course. It worked for Vietnam after all the combined ordinance used in WWII was dropped there and its neighbors of Laos and Cambodia. Oh no wait the US still failed spectacularly. Is the US gonna have another forever war just to hide the president’s role in a massive pedophile ring?
And the oil markets responded appropriately, WTI is now $112.
Bye bye any economic performance for all of 2026!
If he carries on like this is going to end up getting taken out by the oil execs.
Fuck you mean? All the US oil majors are ROLLING in cash right now, they still have plenty of supply but get to profit from global shortages. They love this shit.
The situation has no way out. Leaving without opening the strait ruins the Gulf States that own a large part of the American economy that would go to hell. Opening the strait without troops on the ground is impossible, troops on the ground will be a pickle in lives and material as not seen since the Second World War. I think before this is over he will be seriously considering the nuclear option, I hope they can stop him before that
We could always fold to their demands
It’s not going to happen, but paying him reparations would really be the right thing to do. Recognizing sovereignty over Hormuz no, that would not be fair or good or acceptable to anyone
I hope a clot stops him before then because there’s a much better chance of that than any of the spineless people in government suddenly doing anything about anything.
Any miltary strategist will say that you can’t bomb your way to a victory.
Bro just two more weeks I promise we’ll be done we just need three more weeks to finish our goals bro just a month and we’ll have accomplished this mission bro we just need two more months I promise we’ll be done in Iran if we can just keep bombing them for three months bro we will have a peace deal in the next five months bro please just let us keep fighting bro just six more months bro
I’m confused. I thought they had 48 hours to reopen the straight, but not really because talks were going well, but still 10 days until the US destroys all the infrastructure, but talks have been productive, and the war is going to be over any day now, but it doesn’t matter because we don’t need the oil, but we could take over the oil fields, but Europe should help us, but we don’t need them and they should do it themselves.
No country has ever surrendered unconditionally from conventional airstrikes.
So we’re either going to see boots on the ground (well, they’re in the area), or more tiny hand flailing within that time frame.
Especially a country run by a threatened regime. If the IRGC give in, they’re dead. They also have established that they don’t care about the human cost.
Oddly enough, does this not also apply to the USA?
Absolutely correct. But I think the republicans are actually in worse state than the IRGC; they are the aggressors and clearly perceived that way by a lot of their base, and there’s still the idea of free elections.
Boots are already on the ground.
He is a disgrace to the noble tradition of the FIFA peace prize.
He’s the only FIFA peace prize recipient to ever start a war.
Lucky for him, the Amazon Oscar is still within reach
Persia was strongest in that era.
Man, it sure didn’t take long to pivot from “We need to invade Iran to protect those poor protestors from their evil government” to “Bomb 'em back to the stone age”.
How strange. It’s almost like Trump didn’t have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.
From the get-go? You mean the get-go where we blew up an elementary school full of little girls?
Yes that’s the joke they’re making
To anyone that was actually fooled by this, when we start bombing Cuba, please remember to not listen to the Cuban diaspora that cheer on the bombing as some form of liberation. Remember all of the Iranian diaspora that cheered on Iran being invaded? They do not care about the country they or their parents left for the US. And with Cuba, there is a high likelihood they are the children of slave plantation owners that fled Cuba after the revolution.
I’m living in Miami right now and there are no bigger “victims” than some Cubans here. Everything is someone else’s fault. If it weren’t for the revolution, they would be rich!
The weirdest ones are the ones that say their parents/grandparents “fled communism”; and then you ask them “when?” and they say “1953”.
