The Path to "Victory" has Changed

Iran Prez Vows To Stop Attacking Neighbors — But Says Trump Admin Can Take ‘Dreams’ Of Surrender ‘To Their Grave’

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to neighbors and vowed to halt attacks on them, but spurned Trump's demand for surrender.

For a long time, a military victory was achieved when one adversary inflicted so much pain on its enemy that it became intolerable, and the one so victimized would "sue for peace." Terms would be set based on the objectives of the winning party, and reparations might be demanded of the loser.

But times have changed. Because of religious ideology, there is no set of circumstances, events, or amount of suffering that will induce the leadership in Iran to "sue for peace." They will NEVER say, "We've had enough; this has to stop." Because they have convinced their subjects that death is not such a bad thing. Indeed, it is a good thing, something for the survivors to be proud of, and not a big deal, in the big picture.

How do you defeat such an adversary? Hamas has been decimated and has "lost," but they failed to get the memo. Same for Putin. His forces are being defeated daily in battle, he is burning through soldiers and armaments like there is no tomorrow, his economy is in the shitter...and yet he is no closer to admitting defeat than he was four years ago when he launched the attacks on Ukraine. The situation in Iran is beyond hopeless for the cluster-freak they call a government, and yet nobody expects them to surrender - ever.

Where do you go from here?

Iran is still trying to select a ruler so they couldn't surrender if they wanted to, and we (US and the Israelis) keep killing whomever they select so fast they don't have to time to wave a white flag.

So Iran does what we can not. They apologized for bombs but we bomb a school full of kids and we can only deflect.

Pooters rules almost without opposition in Ukraine .
Now fellow BRICS member Iran is ready to do something similar .
Iran has snuffed out the various US bases which were dotted around the ME
And it is now breathing missile fire and tribulation on Israel which has suffered enormously due to a very leaky Paper Mache Dome . With much more to come

The weak IDF has been further weakened by 30 000 reservists electing not to fight and has been pulverised in their first big combat with the Hezzers . See video .
I have always seen these Freedom Fighters taking northern Israel fairly easily and if this happens the IDF will be split open .
Which just leaves the bottled Hormuz Strait .
If the Hooty Tooty Boys keep that closed it will be near Game Over and Trumpfy's ill chosen bellowing will seem ludicrous and amateur .
So at the moment there is not one small reason why Iran should take any notice of a call for a Cease Fire because in a few days they could be in control when their opponents have near run out of ammunition and missiles .
