It will continue until exactly one old man can no longer make decisions.

    The status quo has changed permanently. It doesn't matter what the US does; Iran now controls the strait and nobody can stop them from charging whatever tolls they want, only letting through ships for their allies, etc. Trump permanently ended the concept of freedom of navigation that Iran had previously abided by when he idiotically decided to attack them anyway, because Iran has zero reason to trust US diplomacy and respect for international law ever again.

    Are these the same half that voted for the Idiot in Chief?

    Lucky if they have half a brain cell between them all.

    One year? That's optimistic.

    Remember how long it took between Dubya's idiotic "missing accomplished" stunt and actually pulling troops out of Iraq? And the US arguably had the upper hand on Iraq back then.

    I'll be dead before this Iran business ends.

    Amazing considering that half of Americans don’t even think about thinking!

    No amount of disagreement in my being will make it stop.

    Honestly, I don't even think I know why tf it was started in the first place. I mean, no offense, but Americans should've just minded our own fucking business and not taken sides. It's cost too much money, too many lives, and benefited no one minus a few people betting on the war on Polymarket... Maybe that's why. Insider trading. Either way, nobody else seems to make it their business/problem, so say has America? Again?

    Iran? To pad the pockets of the defense contractors and weapons manufacturers that got Trump elected.

    Venezuela? To raid a small country that can't defend itself for oil.

    Cuba? So pedophiles and 1%ers can go on Vacation, free bonus, new rape island.

    Greenland? Ore and to put pressure on the EU and Russia (by proximity)

    U.S. could pull out immediately. That would look, less silly!
