It’s not the size of the excavator, it’s what you do with the hole

Boy that’s a huge red herring that ignores everything I’ve actually said in this exact thread. Kinda feels like you’re not a serious participant of this conversation.

I don’t have to address every aspect of the situation, I’m not writing a book on the matter. You’re allowed to just add additional information to a discussion on social media. This isn’t a failure on my part, it’s some sort of emotional overreaction and misunderstanding of the setting on your part. Sir, this is a Wendy’s

No one is advocating for the aggressor here, the comment is about showing the idiocy of the guy who ordered the aggression because he hated a deal the black guy made because he’s a racist, and because he always uses these debacles to enrich himself and make things far worse than before while claiming he improved them drastically because he’s a genius.

So basically a trillion+ dollar deal for Iran and we got nothing out of it except dead soldiers, worsened relations globally, worse inflation, a worse economy, empty emergency reserves, low armament stores, and now everyone knows how weak we really are and that the global economy can be shut down as a deterrent as easily as shutting down important trade routes. Neat. Art of the deal.

Yeah, good point. The Trump admin literally told them to go march and do a coup, that we’d be there for them, and then no one went there for them, and they got slaughtered, further ensuring there were simply mathematically fewer people with the skills and willingness to replace the religious extremists with something more amenable to modern international relations with western and middle eastern nations and groups simultaneously. Instead they predictably, as in it was literally predicted by experts before Trump attacked them, they predictably attacked allies in the Middle East, closed and laid mines in the straight, which has disrupted the global economy and all relations abroad, including further damaging relations with China and Russia.

Such a dumb move.

No matter what it is, it already is. The oil reserves won’t magically fill back up, that will take many many months to years, in which times crops and products and prices will get worse. The regime is more extreme because they killed the people who actually knew how to negotiate, and the son took over who was more extreme than his father, and is likely more extreme than he already was because he was injured and his family has been threatened. The people were liberalizing, they were rejecting religious extremism. Now thanks to this war the people of Iran are more nationalistic than ever, more supportive of the regime than they ever have been. No matter what they agree to, it will be worse off than before.

It’s not about the size of the captured territory, but how you use it. The motion of the encroachment

Right? I am not capable of believing in anything harder than I believe in the gullibility of those rubes and their constant role as useful idiots

It was very telling when Megan Kelly recently said she was shocked that the corruption was worse than she expected. Expected. They knew he was a liar, cheat, fraudster, abuser… they wanted to weaponize him against people they hate, and the economic pain and other worsenings were just the price they were willing to pay to get that.
