“Senior White House officials are reportedly having “buyer’s remorse” over the Iran war as the realization sets in that President Trump was “high on his own supply” when he launched it.
That bombshell is buried inside a new Axios dispatch. It lays bare a deep fracture inside Trump’s inner circle, now navigating week three of a bloody conflict that has claimed at least 13 American lives, left more than 1,400 Iranians dead, and produced one of the worst civilian atrocities attributed to the U.S. military in decades. “

I can only imagine how anxiety-inducing working in that White House must be. It’s like a Medici-era ducal household.

At this point, the leaks are less like a dripping faucet and more like a broken dam. It’s hard to maintain any cohesive strategy when the internal divisions are being broadcast in real-time.

The president of our country said that Iran surrendered a week ago. What happened to our country that we just don’t give an actual shit about such insane incompetence and lies? This is ridiculous. Soldiers are dying and this shitstain is sending out fundraising emails with images of their caskets.

The milk is spilt and has gone sour too. Iranians won’t forget that primary school “mistake” in a hurry even if the US does find a way to withdraw from the ME without too much further bloodshed.

The US should surrender unconditionally and beg Iran’s forgiveness.

Maybe we shouldn’t let one person have the ability to decide to start a fucking war.
Any tax savings for the rich just got wiped out by a market crash. The deal was that if he cut taxes on the rich and kept the markets humming he could do whatever he wanted. Starting a protracted war was LITERALLY the only red line.
The smart people know that regardless of how much money they make on the increased oil prices, market forces will crash the price eventually. In two years we’ll be back to negative value oil barrels AND the stock market will have lost a decade of gains.

The war with Iran is a bailout for Russia. That was the point of this. And to exhaust our military resources and put our troops at risk. Pretty soon the US economy will tank and we’ll all be sitting ducks. He’s a traitor

Iran has a population of ~92 million people, the country is 4x the size of Iraq, and there is only one feasible access point to the urban centers. We could have had 2 access points, but Donald Trump surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban in his first term.
When you don’t understand logistics, mechanization, numbers, directions, distances, etc – you work yourself into these little situations.

Unlike in every other arena where Trump grossly overestimates his own abilities. Did anyone ever expect he would be competent at managing a war, when he can’t manage a peace?

lol I have zero confidence that grown-ass men who wear the wrong size gift shoes from Trump are going to speak up on anything that matters.

He just called Iran a paper tiger yet they control the Strait of Hormuz.
Zero Reaction Time:
A Fattah-2 traveling at Mach 13–15 from the Zagros peaks can reach the center of the Strait in roughly 15 to 20 seconds. This is faster than most shipboard automated defense systems (like the Phalanx or SeaRAM) can even achieve a radar lock.
Cirias on
Hopefully this is his downfall, no allies are coming to help open up the Strait of Hormuz, he’s now stuck in a war where he has to sacrifice American lives and basically nobody’s coming to bail him out. Surely this has to result in a regime change.

It’s crazy that Daily Beast doesn’t even include a preview paragraph. 127 comments and counting on this article and I doubt most have paid to get past the paywall. This publication makes its living selling “Trump unraveling any day now” clickbait usually drawn out from one context free quote and Reddit faithfully reposts their shit every day. Now you can’t even read the context behind the vague headline. We really owe our attention to a higher caliber outlet. Also, same shade goes to New Republic. Rags.

The orange man and his administration are idiots they were never going to have it easy taking over Iran. The thing I know about the Arab world is that although the people may hate their leadership, they hate the west (esp America) the most and wouldn’t want to be under America. This war is going to bring together all the fighting groups with a common goal of not giving in to America.

Meanwhile we are also distracted from the real threat to Taiwan. China might be waiting just a little while longer while Donnie pisses away the US military capacity.
And what’s the cost ratio of an Iranian done vs anything that can shoot it down?
