Trump Lost Badly In Iran And Can't Spin His Way Out

[skews13]

Like the Viet Cong of 50-odd years ago, the Iranians have perceived the American superpower’s Achilles heel: “They understand that the U.S. could drop thousands of tons of bombs, but it does not possess the patience to withstand a prolonged war.”

We still live in a country that was fundamentally reshaped by defeat in the Vietnam War, the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s and the economic crises of the 1970s and ‘80s, even if most living Americans do not remember those events. Politicians of both parties must loudly proclaim a quasi-religious belief that America is an exceptional and “indispensable” nation, anointed by God or history or the unique genius of the Founders. To suggest otherwise is tantamount to treason, even if Trump’s MAGA motto seems to carry a heretical subtext: Somewhere along the way, it’s implied, America’s greatness has been lost or stolen or corrupted by corporate diversity programs, NFL rule changes, renewable energy and, of course, Barack Hussein Obama.

I'm sure in his mind the Epstein files have gone away, and we will all just forget about all of the sleaze and corruption, the murders of American citizens by ICE, and the theft of more Americans jobs, healthcare and living conditions to give his Project 2025 pals yet another tax cut.

//Then reality sets in://

The five most important chokepoints are the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, Bab el-Mandeb and the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Panama Canal. Together, they carry the overwhelming majority of the world’s seaborne energy trade, and within roughly fourteen months, the Trump administration has established or deepened U.S. military positioning at each of them.

Irans military is in tatters, they do not even know who their leader is, prices of food is increasing, oil cannot be exported due to the blockade.

If the U.S has it bad how does the Iranian government feel?

Trump has never been known for his patience
He expects everything to be completed in two weeks.

Election is in six months and Trump needs everything settled. He will cave when time is running out

Achilles Heel? no Patience?? you mean the Democrats as a political party?
Its not even a prolonged war yet.. its only two months. THE Viet Cong had the backing of China and were supplied by them.. weapons plus whatever else they needed. With Iran they have no such support, they are basically cut off with the embargo.

Nobody would have.
Because it didn't happen.
You people are literally mentally ill.
You're so far removed from reality it's no wonder you keep trying to assassinate those you disagree with.
This concept that the U.S. has "lost" the war with Iran is probably the single dumbest take in the history of the United States.
Monumentally dumb on every level.
Staggeringly insipid and ridiculous.
