Just to further add support for Israel is collapsing in the US on both the left and the right, sure it's for different reasons but the effect will be the same regardless. Once the forgotten and boomers are gone or otherwise weakened Israel will probably be dropped like a bad habit, so they have ten years maximum in my estimation.

Theyll do things like:

• say trans woman shouldnt be allowed to do sports
• say they think abortion is regretable but should still be allowed if the doctor thinks it should
• say that Iran needs to fall, just not like this
• say that Israel has a right to defend itself to justify genocide
• back datacenters and tech companies and mass surveillance

Shit, they should put me in a thinktank or whatever

Oh we'll find a way. Schumer always does

Americana have already lost it.

I think the US admin is as much the one playing games here as Iran in regards to the peace deal. I think that trump wanted good news and figured he could get a bump from announcing a peace deal.

And I do think Iran has had some pretty solid strategy here, direct attacks on civilian infrastructure in the US would probably generate some amount of public support for the admin, which would not be in Iran’s interest. The best leverage they have for winning the war is public opinion in the US In the lead up to the mid terms. That and pushing a wedge between the gulf states and the US.

By focusing on the industrial targets in the gulf states, taking out oil infrastructure, hitting expensive military targets like AWACs planes, and just generally exhausting the US’s supply of interceptor missiles. They’re making this super painful for the US in a way the maximizes public discontent in the US while minimizing opportunities for the US media to propagandize.

And they also need a very good peace deal, something that will be hard for trump to just back out of again in 6 months. They’ve been very clear on what they want and these constant delays have largely been down to the us admin basically ignoring everything they’re asking about, that and Israel refusing to be bound by any agreements the US makes. If anything the US admin has been playing stupid games by agreeing to negotiations and then just refusing to negotiate other than to demand more. I’ll be pretty surprised if the current deal that Iran is agreeing to goes though, I suspect this is just the US admin fishing for positive headlines to juice the market. Realistically the US is on a timer, if they can’t get at least some capacity going again before the strategic reserves of oil run out then we’re looking at the global economy going on life support.

I’m not saying the leadership in Iran are some strategic masterminds, but they’re mildly competent and the decision makers in the US just… aren’t. Like, it’s pretty easy to win a game of chess when your opponent is a chimp that keeps eating it’s own pieces.

totally accurate. I just dont want people being angry that peace broke out and seeing a "loss for the US" as a loss for them.
