So, you can’r prove I’m wrong. You’re ‘all hat and no cattle’

Of course you have.

More ad homs.

Of course you have.

I have facts, I posted them and you can’t refute them. Come on, tell me where you think I’m wrong instead of replying with silly Marxist talking points you were given.

You have posted opinions, and who cares.

I posted facts you can't refute, obviously because you can't tell me where I am wrong, all you do is say I am wrong with no real proof thus the 'all hat and no cattle' remark which describes you to a T.

How goes the war in Ukraine you moronic child raping organ harvesting freaks started
just wondering

You are even less coherent than usual. tRump didn't start the Ukraine war, that was his idol Vlad.

You posted "The Iranian Mullahs have been at war with the U.S. since 1979, you loon."

That's not a fact. More of a meme really. They have never declared war as far as I am aware.

I posted more than that, see my post #20 proves my prior statement you are calling a meme. Iran has had an undeclared war against US since 1979 which I proved in my post. Now we have an undeclared war against Iran yet you don't say a thing about Iran's decades long undeclared war against America.

Taking 66 of our Embassy hostage and holding them prisoners for more than a year isn't a declaration of war? Really?

No reckoning in post 20, all facts. Stop lying, if you can.

They don't care about facts. TDS rules their brains.

Trump believed himself a God after taking out Maduro. He believed he'd invaded a country and instigated regime change, which of course he hadn't. But he believed it.

So he of course believed Iran would be easy too.

IRAN≠VENEZUELA

The reality of the Iran war. Remebemr, there was no war before tRump. The strait was open, our fuel prices were low, our defensive stockpiles were high.

Now everything has changed.

Let's look at "project freedom", a weak attempt a rebranding an offensive naval engagement as a humanitarian operation. They managed to move 2 ship yesterday. Two. That took maybe a billion dollars worth of budget because they were only able to do it under a financially unsustainable umbrella of military support.

Then they proclaimed "the strait is open!"

It's not.

The Iranians have the terrain/tactical advantage here. It's called "asymmetric warfare" and the pentagon under Hegseth seems to have forgotten it exists. The coastline they have to traverse is a 600 mile mountain fortress of tunnels , secluded coves, and stark ravines. It's utterly impossible to clean out the whole thing. Iran is not fighting ship to ship naval engagements in the style of WWII. They don't have do destroy everything in the strait, all they have to do is tag my one freighter a week and the shipping companies will continue to take other routs for cargo and leave the oil sitting there.

Hardware.

Yes, we has it. We have a massive advantage in hardware. Hardware doesn't win wars, people do, but lets talk about it anyway. Specifically the cost. You wanna talk about asymmetry? We are shooting down $20,000.oo drones with $4,300,000.00 missiles. Missiles we have a limited supply of. This is a war of financial attrition we cannot win. Then there's the fact that we are overextended. These ship require maintenance. Many are long overdue for it an getting worse... That's why we are seeing things like laundry room fires that can disable an aircraft carrier and ships with no working plumbing or short on food/fuel.

And our high tech weapons. We are depleting them at unheard of rates. approximately 50% of our anti missile capability is gone and will take years to replace.

That, in addition to exhausted troops and broken equipment leaves us vulnerable to our real enemies, Russia and China. They are probably cackling with anticipation.

Now lets look at the political situation.

The current administration ran on "no new wars". They have alienated a significant portion of their base with this. The nation as a group is nearly universally against this war. That's a massive at-home moral problem. Everyone can see we just spent beillion of dollars to accomplish little more than send our gas prices through the roof.

Abroad it's even worse. We have alienated almost every ally we ever had. tRump is begging for help to reopen the strait, but most are saying "you started this, you need to finish it.

At home this will likely be redressed by the midterms and the next presidential election.

Abroad this may never be repaired.

This whole thing is a massive boondoggle.

Saudi Arabia has restricted the U.S. military from using its bases and airspace for operations against Iran, specifically targeting the abrupt "Project Freedom" announced by the U.S. in May 2026. Riyadh aims to avoid regional escalation, leaving Washington to pause its efforts and negotiate, as Gulf allies prioritize regional stability over the military action. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The Iranian Mullahs have been at war with the U.S. since 1979, you loon.

Then why did Reagan not bomb Iran?
