So what do you all think of this timeline?
Answers may range from "we're being strung along by our own governments into a minefield" (China + North-Korea assisting the remaining of 1 million hardliners in the military that took a few thousand casualties until now), to "yes, absolutely".

Let's hear it

The Battle of the Bulge

If Iran couldn't beat Iraq, they don't have what it takes to stick it out. And most of what they did have is destroyed already.

Second, attacking the other Moslems in the Middle East and also affecting the whole world's oil supply is the act of a desperate nation.

you must be a Democrat
i've learned all Democrats are bat-dung crazy.
through my own analysis of human behavior no less!
you people gaze into the future far too long and desire-full.

The war is over when the USA says its over. The USA pulls out when it wants to leave. The USA reaches mission completion when they feel it is complete.

1. Iranian leadership? Dead.
2. Air Force? Gone.
3. Navy? Sunk.
4. Nuclear program? Nuked.
5. Missile program? Largely defunct.

All Iran has left are small arms, wood drones, and modest missiles with a highly limited range and accuracy. Not sure what else we need to do and we can pull out at any time. Main holdup now is the Strait, so apparently Iran is not ready for us to leave yet and wants even more ass-kicking.

I'm starting to think we should decimate their electric power, grid, gas, communications and water. Nix it all. The bastards had plenty of opportunity to reach a better, more peaceful settlement. All the USA really wants is for Iran to get off their nuclear threat/terrorist threat to the West, to the USA, to Israel and to the Strait.

Trump gave Iran until 4/6 to open Hormuz or he obliterates their powerplants, he's not kidding.
Without power Iran is dead.

 

[Churchill]

The war is over when the USA says its over.

Trump said it was over about two weeks ago.

The USA pulls out when it wants to leave. The USA reaches mission completion when they feel it is complete.

It pulls out when and only when the Israelis permit it

1. Iranian leadership? Dead.

Replaced

1. Air Force? Gone.

It was tiny, even Iran doesn't care

1. Navy? Sunk.

It was tiny, even Iran doesn't care

1. Nuclear program? Nuked.

Possibly being resumed now

1. Missile program? Largely defunct.

They are still attacking Israel and the Gulf states every day.

Increasingly Iranian missiles and drones are not gettiin intercepted. That's because serious damage has been done to the defensives systems and Israel is running out of defensive missiles.

I'm starting to think we should decimate their electric power, grid, gas, communications and water.

That is a crime against humanity, against international law, besides Iran is aware that the US/Israel might do that and they already made it clear they would do the same to Saudi Arabi and other Gulf states.

Nix it all. The bastards had plenty of opportunity to reach a better, more peaceful settlement. All the USA really wants is for Iran to get off their nuclear threat/terrorist threat to the West, to the USA, to Israel and to the Strait.

It is the US that has a problem and your glorious leader doesn't know what to do, that's why we hear something diferent from him every day.

Preapre for Vietnam 2, you lost that war and you're gonna lose this one, its nothing to do with you either, its Israel obsession let them get obliterated, who cares about the ******* little crap hole.

 

[Chuz Life]

Depends on what "over" means but we are running low on targets.

If they value their power grid (or call Trump's threat to take it out), it will be over either way.

We could leave them crippled right now and let Israel do their thing to hit the remaining threats and it would still be a successful mission.

Well it's over then.

Feel better?

Unfortunately it will be over shortly. In several months or years it will all have to be done again. Islam needs to be definitively stomped and every believer sent back to their sand holes.

It doesn't depend onto the USA nor Israel - since they started an extremely aggressive and illegal war against Iran.
Iran now just got warm and even more determined - and will not stop till they get nukes. Then the "real" negotiations will start.

Christianity has slaughtered more people (including Jews and Christians) than Islam ever has, go and check, this is a true, a fact, you should understand the facts not make them up.

This is from 2nd March, Monday:

Trump takes unconventional approach to communicating to the public...

Typical of an unconventional presidency, the Trump administration waited more than 48 hours to make any live, public communication to the American people...

www.dailymail.co.uk

Its been four weeks, that's not very fast, Venezuela was over very fast.

Nobody is "very happy" not even trump.

The Iranian government is intact and functioning.

The "big one" trump spoke of four weeks ago, what was that exactly? I must have blinked.

Don't care. My preference is to take as much time as it takes to return Islam to the 7th century.

 

[MarathonMike]

I personally wish President Trump, Rubio etc would stop with the time estimates wrt this war. We are dealing with a "religious" maniacal Regime. It's going to take what it's going to take. And I still believe we need to start a global campaign to arm the Iranian citizens. There is no reason why 93 million people can't overthrow the remnants of that Regime if they are armed.

That's the exact opposite of what the US administration is telling the world.
We'll have to wait and see.

The EU knows very well as to what is needed. They also know that the present US government is unable and unwilling to do it.
Therefore the EU and the whole world is faced with the consequences of a "mindless" US attack onto Iran, and an Israeli "predatory" attack.

 

[Churchill]

Why? what is your problem? Americans must die and lose limbs and go home to a country where vets get thrown on the scrap heap all because of some pointless dernaged obsession the Israelis have?

Is your preference to go and do something and risk your own life, or get someone else to do it?

You call yourself a Christian yet you advocate mass murder? what a whako, boy are you in for some surprises.

I want to arm the 90 percent of Iranians who want the Regime, the Mullahs, the IRGC and the Basig gone.
