It's almost like America is a failed state because Americans are braindead morons who will let you rob them blind as long as you tell them they are part of an extra special freedom team.
Yeah! Don't unsell our stupidity and failures! We've work tirelessly to be proudly ignorant. Stupid intellectuals trying to give us the benefit of the doubt are the real no brian morans!
This is damage control on the the stock market and posturing for his base, Iran doesnt seem to be backing down and the longer this drags out the more certain disaster for the global economy becomes.
He had a press conference, very recently, "over soon, but if Iran does anything more, destruction of everything". including reference to shipping in Straits. Iran knows he's bluffing, and has run out of missiles, and will not put the navy within their drone range, but at any rate, Trump's Israel masters won't let him off the hook.
They don't produce that many per year, and they need rare earth material access to build more. Trump feeling the need to say there is an unlimited supply, should be proof enough that they've run out. The Quadrupling of orders could affect future wars, but is a definite reaction to limited current supplies.
And here I was thinking that it takes one side to start a war but two to stop it. The US seems to be in a no win scenario. Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory, or they commit to a ground campaign, which is Afghanistan all over again but much bigger in scope.
Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory,
That was the greatest victory US ever had. We won, and we won bigly. Iran leader was begging me not to kill him. Iranian children were hiding like dogs. Some people say we didn't win but they are traitors and communists.
It's quite obvious that Iran (or at least its current regime) is fighting a war of survival. If the current regime stays in power and gains the ability to open and close Hormuz at will, that should be a win for Iran. If the US cannot guarantee safe shipping through Hormuz, that is a loss for them. In my book that seems pretty straightforward.
Translation: his attention span has been exceeded, so he'll stand in front of a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, then move on to the next distraction while the war drags on.

Probably. The outlook for a long war might pop a bubble that's keeping "his" economy afloat.

Saw the multitude of economic indicators and worried for a minute.

Trump is full of shit first of all. And we are nowhere close to running low on munitions
shawn1122@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 161d
The cost differential between ballistics and interceptors (10x or more) would be one factor but doubt the US/Israel is close to running out yet.

So it is a war. Which means it is illegal because Congress has not sanctioned it. Arrest the criminal fucker.

Oh! Stop projecting and retreat already! Nobody else asked for any of this. This is on you and your moron squad alone.

So they failed in pulling in Iran’s neighbors to fight for them and now it’s over.

Israel got to kill some children and invade Lebanon. They used this fool to gain couple of smaller and bigger wins again. Nothing else matters here.
