    This kinda seems like the mutterings of a crazy person.

    He hasn't had a plan since day one and as each moment passes he has a different thought about how he might possibly extricate himself from the mess he's created.

    Later today he will threaten to bomb their schools, then the military will keep preparing for boots on the ground, then he will tweet about how they've already destroyed Iran's leadership, then he will say he's going to tariff allies who aren't helping, then he will say the strait is open, then he will say high fuel prices are really great for American fuel suppliers.

    Are you suggesting Donald Trump is of unsound mind?

    So, as widely predicted, the "strategy" is to give up, declare victory and walk away, leaving things worse in every way than they were before the war.

    And Trump will continue to whine about other countries not paying for the war that they had no role in starting.

    Yes this is epic levels of stupid, but is there a better outcome we could hope for given he’s dumb as shit? I can’t think of anything productive he’d be able to do unless the goal is to further destabilize the Middle East/start an actual war.

    Probably not.

    I had "continues to escalate until nukes" on my bingo card, I hadn't thought much of "gets bored and leaves broken toy on the floor".

    Not gonna happen. He bloodied their noses and they're not going to back down. They said as much, and his bitch ass can't really do much about it except global thermonuclear war

    Yep, I think nukes are going to happen. I think that's somehow the plan. Open up that avenue. Because then suddenly Russia can use them in Ukraine, Israel can use them against everyone, and the rest of the world crumble beneath the power of the nuclear states.

    Call me cynical but this has been on my bingo card for decades and I think before all is said and done nukes are gonna fly.

    So he shits all over the fucking region and fucks up the global economy screwing over the whole middle class and even the rich fucking investors, then he fucking announces this?

    You should be nervous. He has the keys and he's itching to use them to show the world how powerful he is.

    This guy (geopolitics lecturer) has a video from a year ago outlining how Trump will likely go about invading Iran, and it is pretty scary how well he nails it looking at the answer sheet.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEEpOxqdU5E

    That's just his channel, I highly recommend it. Anyway, he mentioned, and he is not alone, that before all is said and done about Iran, nukes might fly.

    I've been reading the WSJ for many a long year (know thine enemy) the comments section has seen some shift from proud support for Trump into somewhat despairing but there's still a vast holdout of it's worth it if Iran is destroyed and Trump is the bravest President because of it.

    They do have influence tho, and the average Boomer Betty Jane doesn't take time to wonder if they're legit comments, her brain's mirror neurons automatically integrate this and compare her beliefs to it, invoking a deep and lengthy reconciliation process, all of which she's unaware of. This is how community norms are changed, alternate realities exist. Which is all to say, the internet was a bad idea, we know that now.

    U.S. President Donald Trump ​told aides ‌he is willing to end ​the military ​campaign against Iran even ⁠if the ​Strait of ​Hormuz remains largely closed and leave ​a complex ​operation to reopen it ‌for ⁠a later date, the Wall Street Journal ​reported ​on ⁠Monday, citing administration officials.

    In 2029, it became apparent that the Strait of Hormuz being closed was actually President Newsom's fault.

    Gotta admit if i was the Iranian military i would be celebrating, not only has he screwed the pooch across the region by giving them an excuse to bomb multiple targets they have always wanted to. He has also given a firm timeline for when the US will fuck off - thats great for morale

    That’s not what the toddler in chief’s actions say when he’s moved a bunch of B-52s to UK airbases.

    This is exactly it - say one thing do another. Negotiate and while you're having talks bomb the negotiators. Constantly move the goal posts and declare victory even when you're getting beat to shit. Iran shouldn't trust anything that pedophile says. I wouldn't I live in this shit hole.

    In other news, Iranian rial spontaneously swaps value with USD. Trump declares war on US economists as they beg him to end their suffering.

    What a fucking moron! He went from "imma slap you silly for no reason" to "I demand you fix this thing that was fine before I slapped you silly" to "alright fine, you don't need to fix it"

    And he wonders why he didn't win a Nobel peace prize
