Trump: U.S. will bomb Iran "back to stone ages" over next 2-3 weeks

Man, it sure didn't take long to pivot from "We need to invade Iran to protect those poor protestors from their evil government" to "Bomb 'em back to the stone age".

How strange. It's almost like Trump didn't have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.

He is a disgrace to the noble tradition of the FIFA peace prize.

Your tax dollars at work. You could’ve had free education, Medicare for all, functioning roads and infrastructure, end homelessness, but instead we’re bombing fucking brown people in the Middle East. Let’s waste all this money and blow up the fucking desert mountains in Iran while simultaneously fucking over the rest of the world and raising gas prices to 10 bucks a gallon.

Wait didn’t we do that a year ago when we had a single attack that somehow destroyed all of their nuclear capabilities?

I'm confused. I thought they had 48 hours to reopen the straight, but not really because talks were going well, but still 10 days until the US destroys all the infrastructure, but talks have been productive, and the war is going to be over any day now, but it doesn't matter because we don't need the oil, but we could take over the oil fields, but Europe should help us, but we don't need them and they should do it themselves.

Epstein files seem so long ago now

No country has ever surrendered unconditionally from conventional airstrikes.

So we're either going to see boots on the ground (well, they're in the area), or more tiny hand flailing within that time frame.

This is EXACTLY what Jesus would Say!

-Trump's Faith Advisor!

In his 1965 autobiography (co-written with MacKinlay Kantor), LeMay is quoted as saying his response to North Vietnam would be to demand that "they've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age.

Is that really a quote that you want to lean on, Donny? Not exactly a great omen.

Everything is 2 or 3 weeks. 10 years from now, it will over in 2 or 3 weeks.

My guess is that Trump doesn't have Congressional support for an AUMF, which means that all Iran has to do is last for 60 days before Trump has to pull out.

So basically, if Trump wants some kind of deal that uses the military as leverage, he has to get it closed in a matter of weeks.

Any miltary strategist will say that you can't bomb your way to a victory.

These idiots and their scorched earth threats. Worst B-movie villains ever.

Still don't know why.

Just know we can't have nice things here.

And the oil markets responded appropriately, WTI is now $112.

Bye bye any economic performance for all of 2026!

The situation has no way out. Leaving without opening the strait ruins the Gulf States that own a large part of the American economy that would go to hell. Opening the strait without troops on the ground is impossible, troops on the ground will be a pickle in lives and material as not seen since the Second World War. I think before this is over he will be seriously considering the nuclear option, I hope they can stop him before that

Of course. It worked for Vietnam after all the combined ordinance used in WWII was dropped there and its neighbors of Laos and Cambodia. Oh no wait the US still failed spectacularly. Is the US gonna have another forever war just to hide the president's role in a massive pedophile ring?

I hope the sons and grandsons of MAGAs get hauled off to boot camp.

Peace prize please.

Will this be like how their military has been wiped out? Doesn't he realise everyone just calls his bluff because he literally never goes through with anything he threatens.

Now now, he shouldn't get ahead of himself! He should deploy the thousands of troops he said he would, then bomb Iran. Except in his pure stupidity, he'll bomb the soldiers he's deployed to Iran, yet claim it was some 67D chess move.

These clowns and their maximalist bullshit. Were they playing paddycake for the past 5 weeks?

Bro just two more weeks I promise we'll be done we just need three more weeks to finish our goals bro just a month and we'll have accomplished this mission bro we just need two more months I promise we'll be done in Iran if we can just keep bombing them for three months bro we will have a peace deal in the next five months bro please just let us keep fighting bro just six more months bro

Praying for his speedy return to hell

Seems like it was never about nuclear weapons.

Persia was strongest in that era.

Yeah cause that worked so well to achieve American-friendly regime change against North Korea

Speech/stategy is "Iran will win war in 2-3 weeks and we are incapable of changing Iran's victory, but their civilians being gaza/stone aged will give us a sense of superiority"

Beyond pure demonic evil cruelty, destruction costs $2b/day in operations budget, delays global access to energy/shortages dry spots will occur, Iran will retaliate against future export capacity in the region. US troops are staged in GCC sharing videos of missile strikes on them.

GCC is extremely disappointing in this war. Zionazi media does keep claiming it is them instead of Israel that wants war/escalation/stone age, but they host US "ground" troops and air/missile attack sites. They blame Iran for self-defense retaliations more than US/Israel evil. Given plain strategy laid out, Iran, to survive better, needs to hit all Gulf desalination pre-emptively, and with drones sink/damage tankers that serve GCC ports every day. Tankers are massive sitting duck capital assets whose loss also means revenue/profit loss from high prices, and propaganda cannot hide the damage.

Desalination plants means GCC needs the gulf opened in under 10 days (Trump plan subject to insufficient gazafication determination after 3 weeks). GCC military/people can coup their monarchies sticking with US stone age plan. GCC is on wrong side of history here, and should all know that they are on the next domino line of Israel conquests/destruction from a weak Iran.

China could do more, if only by assuring world that they can guarantee opening the straights (with Iran cooperation) as soon as US leaves. That they can help the GCC rebuild if they have a government not hostile to Iran, and that supporting Gazafication of Iran does not help anyone in the world, especially GCC.
