Iran demands to end the war

[AZrailwhale]

Can we stop with the stupid? What part of mutually assured destruction do you not understand?

MAD doesn't work against religious nutcases who believe that dying in a war with infidels grants them a direct path to paradise.

Iran does not seem in a panic
It is Trump who seems in a rush to end this thing

All Iran has left is their arrogance. They are acting out The Black Knight on the global stage.

Trump is lazy
He wants results without doing the legwork

Germany thought they could bomb Britain into surrender
The U.S. thought we could bomb Vietnam into surrender

Doesn’t work

Actually, Linebacker II DID bomb North Vietnam into surrender. They couldn't sign the peace treaty (Paris Peace Accords) quickly enough after Nixon closed Haiphong Harbor with mines and destroyed the road and rail links into China by bombing. The fact that the leaders of North Vietnam started a new war by using their new, European style, Soviet provided army to invade the Republic of Vietnam TWENTY-SEVEN MONTHS later in violation of the peace treaty is just another example of communist lying.

They may be crazy, but they aren't stupid.

US was in a hurry to get out
Vietnam just had to wait

No, North Vietnam was starving and out of AAA ammo and SAMS. It couldn't wait.

N Vietnam waited over 25 years
We could not wait
We had lost mom and pop America

What makes you think that OPEC cuts are a bad thing? OPEC is not our friend.

Standard Practice

Let by ExxMob, the Western cartel created and directs OPEC. That way, they can gouge us on gas prices and blame camel jockeys for it. Back in 1973, they pressured Nixon to back down from occupying the Arab oilfields, which even under the usually pacifist Rules of War, he had the perfect right to do.

Neither does Trump
My way or the highway doesn’t work if you don’t hold all the cards

Our military holds all the cards

 

[my2¢]

I am rooting for a return to normal which doesn’t seem likely.

My guess is with an election coming up, Trump will chicken out, give away the farm and declare victory

It's been just over a month since Trump threatened to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges if they didn't open the Strait of Hormuz. It has gotten to the point of embarrassment. Trump has to either, "Shit or get off the pot."

My hope is in Trump getting off the pot and declaring that victory.

The Mullahs' Muppets

They're smart enough to recognize the power of all the unpatriotic weakling and Antisemites in America and Europe.

They are conducting Psychological Warfare on the weak minded from both places. They are UNFORTUNATELY WINNING that War.

The World is Turning against Israel to ALLAH.

There is a Great Book about it.

Whoever Is Preordained for the Front Lines in Peace Must Be in the Front Lines in War

Because of all the sissyboy Right Wing pro-war draftdodgers (legally!), the revised version is that we could have won easily if the Democrats had not forced us to surrender.

Vietnam could have been Won. But what would we have done with it afterwards?

We fought on Their Terms. Had we drove North and into Cambodia in FULL FORCE they couldnt have stopped us.

TET was actually a Military Disaster for the Viet Cong. Massive losses. But the media and Hippies said they won.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

We have been dealing with them for 50 years. Looks like they will stay in power

They’ve been dealing with us for 47 years more like. With their proxy terror groups. Blowing up Christmas markets, pop concerts, underground tube trains, and other festive events.

A Rosy Scenario Full of Thorns

Don't believe that Chickenhawk lying excuse to cover up their treason and cowardice. The Pentagony told us that the Viet Cong were on their last legs. The fact that they could pull off Tet, sacrificing all those soldiers they weren't supposed to have, proved that we were being lied to. Besides, all their dead were replaced immediately by lowering the draft age.

Those who do want reach paradise don't go neither in public politics, nor in decision-making. If a person plays a role on a political stage, we can be sure that it's a clown and prostitute. If a person is making decisions in back rooms, it means that it's a cold-blooded villain.

And, given that nowadays Iran has more friends than the USA - looks like Iranian politicians and decision-makers are smarter and more flexible than American ones.
