Trump’s 15‑point peace plan? More like ‘how to make war even messier 101…

will his beloved putler help him out? Quien sabe maybe sending more drone&operators to Iran?

The 15-point plan reads more like a business merger than a peace treaty. Experts are flagging the fact that Iran has spent decades preparing for exactly this kind of asymmetric warfare. You can’t just Board of Peace your way out of a regional conflict when the other side holds the geographic high ground and a network of proxies that aren’t interested in a $1 billion joining fee.

Not a military or strategic genius but starting to refer to the main conflict point by your name is probably not going to win you any points with an angry adversary that calls you imperialist and egotistical among other things.

Its a truly desperate situation. IDF is claiming the army is collapsing under 900 days of war and Israel is running on the assumption that the entire US stockpile of interceptors are theirs for the taking which could be extinguished in months and suddenly tel aviv is actually in an existential crisis. They underestimated Irans ability to project power and over estimated the US ability to protect them. Theres just so much permanent damage across the board. The middle east, US is looking more and more like a paper tiger by the day, and our relationship with countries that assumed they were under the protection of US are starting to contemplate alliances elsewhere.

His lone goal now is to open the straight of Hormuz. Which of course it was until he bombed them on behalf of Israel, which is now facing three fronts. This is why having a business person running policy is friggin stupid. He wanted regime change and got it to an extent, (yeah, we know it’s worse) but is bombing the people that he wants to accept the change and instead rallied the entire country against the US. Plus he gets bored easily and wants to move on now that he’s screwed it all up.

I think Trump and Netanyahu, personally (not the US and Israel) owe reparations to Iran. If there were a civil case in a court of law, these two guys would be 100% liable for the damage they caused. You break it, you by it.

Trump basically gave Iran an excuse to toll booth the strait of Hormuz they’ve been salivating and instigating to get this outcome.

Trump, like putin, is too proud to back out in the face of mounting losses.
There’s a reason that Proverbs 16:18 rings true, thousands of years later…
“Pride comes before a fall” – excessive arrogance or overconfidence leads to mistakes, mistakes lead to destruction or a significant downfall, and warns that humility is preferred.

Mar 16: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.” “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.” “If NATO doesn’t help, they will suffer something very bad.”
Mar 17: “We neither need nor want NATO’s help.” “I don’t need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO.”
Mar 18: “Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”
Mar 19: “US allies need to get a grip -step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz”
Mar 20: “NATO are cowards.”

Trump simply can’t help himself. No matter what he’s told he will double and triple down on his demand for “unconditional surrender.” If and when he is forced to retreat (likely by Congressional support evaporation) he will claim that was always the plan and half of the United States will believe him.

The “15 point plan” is always the red flag. in diplomacy, the more points you have, the less likely any of them are enforceable. if you can’t get them to agree on point 1 (not blowing each other up), points 2 through 15 are just creative writing exercises. iran knows we have zero domestic appetite for another “forever war,” which is the only real leverage they need. unless point 16 is “invent a time machine and don’t tear up the original JCPOA,” this is dead on arrival.

Iran has literally all of the leverage.
You cannot possibly think you can go into a country where the culture is “if I die in war, I have better afterlife” and expect them to not WANT to die in war.
They want to either live freely or die. Trump cannot understand this concept because he doesn’t believe in anything and conservative Christian’s don’t believe in anything either so they’re just as lost.
Iranians are ready to die. Literally and figuratively.
The west cannot win this war.

If it weren’t for the catastrophic affect this war is having with our global economies I would like to just sit back and laugh at Trump for making what might be historically recognized as the dumbest move ever made by a human being.
And he’ll just make the situation worse by repeatedly doubling-down, because that is all he knows. I predict it will eventually get so bad, that Europe and the rest of us will say ‘Enough is enough’ and will actually have to get involved. By sending ships to the Persian Gulf to protect Iran from further US aggression.
SpatulaWholesale on
Think about Iran+Russia, rather than Iran alone.
The US is relieving sanctions on both Russia and Iran so they can sell their oil. Win for them. Loss for us.
The US is reducing support for Ukraine, possibly diverting munitions. Win for them. Loss for us.
The US is collapsing the oil and other supply chains, along with the world economy. Win for them. Loss for us.
The entire Republican party is sitting on their hands while their rich doners see their investments reduce and their business suffer. How the rich doners aren’t screaming at them on their phones is a mystery.
It’s not that Trump’s plan isn’t working. It’s that he has no plan. He doesn’t seek the advice of strategic military experts. He only has reactions and feelings, and the performance of his businesses show that, well, those don’t serve him well.
What a shit show.

lol, 15 point peace plan. he made that shit up on the spot. Trump’s only plan is to continue playing the market and eventually dump this problem on somebody else, like he does with all the other messes he makes in life.

POV: You’re Donald J. Trump, serial dumbass
You campaign for president (again). You say you won’t start any wars.
You Get elected. Immediately start alienating all of the US’ allies. 6 months into your term, you bomb Iran. You completely obliterate their nuclear program, mission accomplished.
13 months into your term you bomb Iran (again). You completely obliterate their nuclear program (again) and their navy (again). You announce the war is over, and you have won. Iran closes strait of Hormuz.
1 week later, War is not won. You ask your allies you spent the last 12 months shitting on for help, they tell you to get bent.
Another week later, you realize you’re bad at war, offer peace from the bombings you started. Iran tells you to get fucked, mission failed.
Next day, shit diaper and fall asleep. There’s more warmongering to be done tomorrow.

Man imagine the strategic geniuses at the “non woke” “department of war” who decided they could attack a smaller nation with a much weaker military and a month in everyone is saying they have no way to win.
