Don't forget, this war was very likely initiated by Netanyahu. All they managed to do was make Iran stronger, what a bunch of fucking morons.

    No, that wasn't the only outcome. Iran got richer and the world got to see that the military might of the USA is much less mighty than they want the world to know.

    Netanyahu is not a moron, making Iran weaker wasn't his goal. Forever war was, to have a foil to play for domestic political purposes.

    Yep, but his biggest blunder was to trust Trump to help him out all the way. What makes Netanyahu a moron in my books is that now after a few years Iran will be stronger and led by military. It will hurt Israel in the long term.

    They managed to ramp up military/weapons spending in the US and Europe, and massively boosted the price of oil. The idea that Trump lost is naive in my opinion, this was a big cash grab just like Venezuela was and certain people will have profited massively from it.

    Man who would have thought that the most incompetent and unqualified demented rapist to ever hold the office would be played like a fucking fiddle.

    No, we didn't lose.

    We surrendered.

    And you know what? Sure. That's the right move. We shouldn't have fucking invaded them to begin with.

    Fucking Trump. What a goddamn moronic dumbass he is.

    300 Billion for nothing other than paying the Military industrial complex.

    He may be a dumb loser but don't forget he's also in the Epstein files.

    The problem now is that Mr Trump has endowed Iran with a far more useful option than any nuclear device: the effective weaponisation of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a weapon of mass economic destruction of unique power. It was given satisfactory proof of use during the conflict, when not even US armed forces and a naval counter-blockade could prevent an enfeebled Tehran from taking the world economy hostage.

    Nukes are defensive, this seems to work for both defence and offence

    Operation Epic Failure. The primary shows was in the southern Lebanon and the West Bank, while the MAGA led fiasco was the side show.

    Americans, especially the Government, all have a collective delusion that the United States place in the world is just the way it was right after WW2 and nothing will ever change it. Over the next decade or so, reality will continue setting in...

    The war isn't over, not by a long shot. Memorandums of understanding on negotiating terms notwithstanding.

    Israel will blow it up, and the US and Israel have such maximaist demands Iran will never agree to them. Israel also doesn't care about those demands so much as want continued war and to turn lebanon into gaza for domestic political reasons. I wouldn't expect any new Israeli government to be much better either.

    Great, now that that's done... Can we get back to the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM) ?

    I'm happy with this result. I was rooting against America for the whole conflict.

    I am rooting against America in general.

    America has a big ego and is subservient to Israel. It needs to be humbled so it can stop flexing its nuts and start taking care of its own people.

    I say this as one of those people in America watching America punish transwomen instead of combating food insecurity...

    The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict it’s been involved with for the past 80 years.

    Its current “leadership” believes that streak is at least twice that.

    I’m happy we lost but sad that I will be paying for reparations with my tax dollars.

    usa could have won the war but trump had a date with a tween at a very crucial juncture in the negotiations and missed a "war winning" opportunity. /s

    MoU or not, an unstable region has been rendered even more dangerous by the unforced war of choice launched and America. The world will be coping with its repercussions for months, if not years.

    Yeah, the Middle East is inherently unstable and then this totally unrelated foreign meddling happened. ::eyeroll::

    We got a black eye and we deserved it. Someone should bloody our nose, too, to make sure we got the message. Fucking stupid.

    No we didn't! Didn't you hear we're going to pay them to put things the way they used to be before the war? And then we are going to negotiate how much each ship should pay to get thru? It's going to be so cheap! Like 800% cheaper! Or 530% or 50% or 1200%! It will be very much more inexpensive than it was before! And then we'll negotiate how much to pay them to not continue making nuklier materials too fast but faster than before. But it will be slow. They can't have a niklier ex-ploding thing because we'll buy it from them! We'll be making 🤑 money! Money! Money! Just gotta pay them first and then we gotta sell product. Everyone will be selling nuklier! Your kid, their kid, and the neighbors, everyone. We'll make money! This kid says to me. He says. Crying. He says. Sir, can I buy nuklier? No! You'll get niklier! Crying. The kid. I says. No! You'll get niklier! In a week or two! Two at most. Maybe even in just a few minutes. Who knows, we'll see. You know what I mean? I don't.
