War with Iran

[MU82]

Capt. Bone Spur claims the Strait will be open as a condition of the ceasefire negotiated by Pakistan.

We don't know yet if it's true.

We also don't know if Israel will comply; even after its ceasefire with Gaza, they were still bombing there.

TACO Tuesday

Edit: D'oh. Unk beat me to it.

Taco Tuesday? It's not even 8pm.

So trumps absolutely going to brag about this as a win right? Just going back to the status quo?

Dude had a temper tantrum and his parents let him continue till he tuckered himself out.

Has anyone seen this verified anywhere?  Because, if so, LMAO

WSJ published the list and these were included.  Art of the Deal on display!

[Uncle Rico]

Whoo, boy!  Art of the Deal

Six weeks ago, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Then came Capt. Bone Spur's unnecessary war.

Six weeks later, 13 U.S. soldiers are dead, hundreds more are wounded, tens of billions of dollars have been added to the ginormous deficit, hundreds of Iranian schoolkids are dead at the hands of U.S. missiles, thousands of innocent Iranians are dead, hundreds of Israelis are dead, the price of gas has spiked, mortgage rates are up, Iran still has its uranium safely tucked away. And Bone Spur's approval rating is at an all-time low because the vast majority of Americans hate his war.

But the Strait might or might not get opened again.

So ... um ... success?

It's his SOP. Break something out of stupidity and ignorance, partially repair it, and claim total and absolute success like no one has ever seen.

And the media will more or less report it without any critical thought.

Chuckles from the armchair generals and diplomats here. I absolutely want to see this regime destroyed. I have a very good friend who twice served as Chief of Trauma Services in Afghanistan and he would come back after deployment and describe the horrifying injuries to our troops caused by Iranian ieds. Plus I have an image I cannot shake ever of a young Marine leaving the airport here wearing his dress blues and being wheeled by his father into a van. To me he looked no more than 20 years old and he missing both his arms and legs. I'm sorry if I put a damper on your amusement of this ongoing altercation but these religious zealots must be dealt with

[forgetful]

The 10-point plan that apparently we now agree with as a reasonable plan sounds more like an unconditional surrender by the US.

Another question. In the 2-week cease-fire. Over under odds of China shipping in the supersonic anti-ship missiles to Iran during the ceasefire?

[MU82]

Agree. But what are we to do about dangerous religious right-wingnuts like Pete Hegseth and Mike Johnson to keep them from destroying America?

So we gave them what they asked for after not accomplishing any of our objectives?

We lost. Plain and simple. We are in a worse position than we were before this started.

Horrible things happened when we sent American soldiers to fight religious zealots on the other side of the world.
To correct this, we must send American soldiers to fight religious zealots on the other side of the world.

I'm hearing that crazy old men sending heroic young men to be killed or maimed is tragic and your heart goes out to those suffering for this evil insanity.   

I agree with that.

You can't discuss this with cult members.  Iran could take over half of America and these buffoons would call it brilliant.

America got completely embarrassed on the world stage, Gin Diesel is purging the military to be sycophants and white males, and Iran has control of the Straits and are openly mocking Dear Leader.

Idiots abound in MAGA land.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Idiots abound on both sides. I don't care about who is in power I want them to be successful so that we all prosper. I will wait to see how this plays out. Im sure there is much we don't know going on in the background.

[jficke13]

Well credit where credit is due I guess. The war did end with an unconditional surrender.

[jesmu84]

Oil prices down. Share prices up.

No identifiable ceasefire actually in place.

Feels like another market manipulation attempt

Yeah. Lots going on the background being run by incompetent buffoons.  You want to prosper?  Get in good with the administration because that's the only group of people prospering.

Lots going on behind the scenes by the author of The Art of the Deal.  His success on the world stage has been nonpareil
