I foresee this escalating and getting worse, leading to some catastrophic nonsense that puts our species to shame in only a matter of months.

We’re running out of helium, the strategic oil reserves are at most 20% of what’s needed, and now that wells are capped it’s to take months to get back.

As this continues Trump will get madder, dementia-ier, and try and escalate more.

I'm pretty sure the window is already closed. This is our second war with Iran in under a year. Both of which were started by the US/Israel; while we were actively negotiating with Iran. After the first war, we bragged about how the negotiation was a genius move by us to catch Iran with a surprise attack. The last time we had a major treaty with Iran, we unilaterally tore it up; and none of the other signatories stepped up to try and make Iran whole.

The 12 day war ended when we decided to end it. Iran agreed because no one likes getting bombed, and they assumed we had done all we had the stomach to do. However, this type of stop-and-go conflict massively favors the US. Iran's strength lies in a sustained war of attrition. Deplete our air defense systems faster than we can resupply them. Disrupt the oil market long enough to cause global shortages. Draw us into a war against an insurgency. None of this is effective if they let us decide when the conflict pauses.

Their actions show this. Mining the straight of Hormuz and bombing oil fields are not the type of action you take for a conflict you don't plan on lasting. Appoint the son of the leader we assisinated as your new leader. Those are decisions that will take months to reverse.

Also, I should mention that the current leader of Iran just had his family killed by us. And Iran was just in the middle of an internal political crisis that conveniently goes away in the face of an external one.

I don't see how we get Iran to agree to end the war without us offering some major concessions.

It closed when we assassinated the former head of state and the entire family of the new head of state along with a few hundred children.

I am shocked that america isn't 24/7 protests.

Putin playbook

That would be called a war

Dude, just like Russia, it is a special operation.

It’s a war. Call it what it is and not what the politicians tell you it is. Fuck their definitions. People are dying.

The US President and the US ministry of war have called it a war many times already. They call it a war pretty much all the time. If someone is still not calling it for what it is then they‘re probably high on Russian propaganda and didn‘t read the script. Again, the US president started a war to distract from his disastrous polling numbers and he doesn‘t even try to hide it. Unlike his close relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

What do you mean, it's a training exercise...

They'll just suffer from broken spines from bending over backwards trying to explain how they always supported the idea of going to war again and how its the woke libtards who are in the wrong.

In other news Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia

We all lose because of this war, mostly because of Trump's loose sense of morality.

Billionaires will nuke the world before giving up power.

I’ll take 4999 body bags and one survivor that the rest of us can ridicule. Fuck the Marines, every single one of them.

Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

Supposedly less people are paying attention on a Friday.
