Which one is it, Epstein buddy?! You want a ceasefire? You want to further escalate stuff? You want to chicken out of it?!! Seriously, is this like the most non cohesive the US government has been?!!

Trump is fecking desperate. He knows he can’t win so he’s throwing out every lame ass threat hoping it sticks. Whatever happened to this huge gift he received? The fecker is a lying sack of orange shit.

Hey guys, I don’t think these buffoons know what the word ceasefire means.
(Also, the word NO)

Every week they claim they will hit Iran harder and then every Monday, Trump comes in and claim he’s been negotiating with Iran and the oil markets falls for it again, and then Trumps friends starts making money on the up and down of the market.
Buy on Monday (Low), sell on friday (High)

Here’s the corrected title “Trump to get harder because Tehran won’t accept defeat in a war that was forced upon them and yet they seem to have the upper hand because of our stupidity – White House says”

Man this is a fucking nightmare. This is our future and our kid’s future getting fucked up on a global scale. And innocent people just like us getting terrorized and killed.

So – no ceasefire, no progress on talks, no big gift to the US from Iran?
Just a clown show.

Any of you see *Tank Girl* ? Towards the end, the villain has captured the heroine and he’s trying to force her to concede…
Villain: Say, it! Say “I win!”
Tank Girl: I win!

More intense strikes on Friday after the markets close, and then more talks with Iran will be reported Monday before the markets open. Always with the market manipulation.

I don’t think trump knows who he’s dealing with here. Iran won’t back off because of vague threats. They’ve prepared for this for years, making dumb statements like this are more likely to bait another attack from Iran, not scare them off. They’re clearly revelling in embarrassing him

For a supposed Wharton School of Business graduate he sure has ZERO concept of the sunk cost fallacy. There’s no “win” to be had. It’s just going to get exponentially more expensive in blood and treasure. Just declare whatever objective you had has been met (should be easy as you never articulated a coherent one) and just walk away.

So Iran is totally defeated but Trump will continue risking American lives and wasting $ billions because they won’t say “uncle”? Could he be more petty and immature?
bradland on
Trump has yet to realize the asymmetry of the war he is engaged in. We spend $1m for every $1k Iran spends. You can’t bomb an ideology out of people. Ideologies are like microrganisms. If you kill 99% of them, the 1% that remains are resistant to the method you used to kill the rest.
Power projection is a bit like a magic trick. It is most effective when no one knows how it actually works. Every time the US has utilized its power projection, opposition groups have learned a lesson. We go bigger, they go cheaper.
The irony is that American colonists used asymmetric warfare to win the American Revolutionary war. It was used against us in the humbling defeat in Vietnam. And it has been used against us persistently in the Global War on Terrorism. Ukraine has, meanwhile, adapted it to great effect against Russia.
We have perfected the art of winning the battle while losing the checkbook. By treating war as a military superiority problem rather than a human one, we’ve created a military-industrial complex that is world-class at destroying targets, but uniquely vulnerable to the economics of asymmetry. In the end, you can’t out spend/bomb an ideology that thrives on the very destruction you provide for free.

It makes me sad that so many support this tactic, ”be ruthless” and ”kill them all”. That is what differs an honorable army from psycho groups like Hamas and Al Qaida. You can’t justify those kind of things even if you are ”the good guy”.

The follow up question about the 15 point negotiation plan that got shot down by her was even more insane than the threats of obliteration. So beginning of the weekend we announce they have 48 hours to surrender or we destroy them, 48 hours later we announce great negotiations have been going on for those same 48 hours and the obliteration is called off. Another 48 hours and that 15 point negotiation was never stated as happening and Iran needs to surrender or it’s obliteration again.
It’s sadistic that the strongest military in the world is run by people this insane.

Oh shit, so Iran is *winning* winning then huh?
So much for those negotiations, ay?
Has Iran been defeated? That’s news.
