Trump is now caught in the oldest trap of modern warfare – believing a swift, surgical military operation will yield quick, enduring political results. The Soviets did it in Afghanistan; the US in Iraq in 2003; Putin did it in Ukraine, and is still fighting. Whatever force a military fails or succeeds in applying at the start, the people it is attacking have greater commitment to defending their lands and homes.
The White House may have rushed into this, seizing the opportunity for a decapitation strike, provided by Israeli intelligence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has very different objectives regionally, and a long US involvement against Tehran suits his desire for an Iran in rolling collapse that is no longer a threat. But the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28 has caused as many problems as it has solved.
It is pretty endable. We just give them our republican leaders and any democrat leaders that were in favor.
There will be some sort of financial reimbursement.
Might be able to spin it around and offer college admission to their students to help bridge the damage.
Operation Payback: rounding up all political leaders who allowed this to happen and shipping them to Iran and letting them deal with punishment.
Considering they have been shipping innocents around the world to be locked up in prisons without due process, they kind of deserve it.
I second that plan. We are going to need to make serious amends on the world stage if we want to repair relations, and that sounds like a good start. Hold the parties responsible for all of this.
Honestly I believe Iran would accept:
The alternative is:
The worse/better alternative is:
Choose wisely, pedophile scum
There’s a lot darker option. US and Israel tag team the populace in a genocide, shut down Iranian oil production while protecting the rest of OPEC. Leading to massive profits for Russia, some profits for US oil companies, and massive bankruptcy in Europe while crippling their manufacturing base. Which leaves the US, Russia, and China with functioning autocratic economies that can carve up the rest of the world. And the other nuclear powers are left to dismantle their own military to feed their people.
That Europe is the big loser here is a given. Which is why Europe really should get involved, today. But I don’t think that the US is able to protect the rest of OPEC, at least not short-term. They are incredibly fragile and their infrastructure is exposed.
I think that the point for the US is to disrupt China. So that’s the point, mess up the Middle East so that China has no reliable source of oil. Next, make a move on Taiwan. I think that China understands this and will get involved.
China already saw this coming, that’s why they pushed so hard on solar and battery tech. Last year they dropped in 250GW of solar, and they’ll probably do more this year. It’s not there yet, but they’re not as worried about this as you might think. It’s a problem, but not a crippling emergency.
Europe on the other hand doesn’t have good options. Regardless of what they could do, what they don’t have now is the infrastructure to do it. And their biggest problem to clear out the Strait isn’t Iran, it’s Trump. European prosecutors are taking banking records from European banks about the Epstein files. While they can’t prosecute Trump directly in any way, they can hand over anything they want to congress, or the public. In short, they are a threat to Trump, and he knows it, and he will attack anyone who threatens him, or Putin.
We could even throw in a FIFA peace price!
