A hundred times better than Bush or Obama.

What is your opinion of how Donald Trump is doing managing the Iran war.

It's like he's trying to repeat how his 1st term resulted in economic disaster and countless dead Americans. Unfortunately.

He isn’t managing the war – he’s lost control.

Two American combat aircraft shot down by Iran with a crewman missing is the latest fiasco of Trump’s unwarranted, illegal war.

Is Trumpfy fighting as an American Zionist President in the context of the Greater Israel plan ?
OR
Is he fighting as a Deep State leader and running a Fake war with Iran in order to create world Food and Energy shortages ---- and , as a consequence , create major Depopulation , a fresh alignment of countries and a total financial system reset ?

I favour the latter, and if Iran "is allowed" to retain control of Hormuz , and if the Houthis are allowed to control the Red Sea then this conclusion becomes self evident .

Like he "handles" everything else: Chaos, non-stop threats, mistakes, constant reversals, blaming others, paranoia, instability, noise, lies, insults, ignorance, fantasies, and more chaos, chaos, chaos.

Too much focus on "illegal "war. There is right or wrong, good or bad. After the Enabling Act in Germany in 1939 everything Hitler did was "legal".

Most people like sausage. Even those who don't like to see how it is made.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Probably more Americans already died in this unforced error than were supposedly "killed by Iran" in 47 years

 

[ColonelAngus]

From a war perspective, seems fine.

From a political perspective, timing is rough.

If one wants to use Obama’s wars in Libya and Syria as comparison, this war seem to be going fine.

He is ******* it up and endangering our troops' lives.

 

[DGS49]

While he never openly established regime change as HIS goal (while it has been the IDF's all along), he has realized too late that regime change is necessary to accomplish his goals, and that the Iranian people cannot overcome the power and influence of the God Mafia (IRGC), so regime change appears not to be a real possibility.

In a sane war, you beat the shit out of your opponent until he cannot take it any more and "sues for peace." But in a crazy war with Muslim zealotry on the other side, death is viewed as a good thing, so you never reach the point where they can't take it any more.

Result: quagmire.

The only solution is to declare victory and withdraw, leaving yourself not visibly better off than you were at the start. Maybe you are better off with Iran weakened and de-nuclearized, but it might not be visible to the casual observer. And China will do everything it can to put Iran back in the nuclear game.

The fact remains that Trump has the ability to go through with his threats and put Iran back in the figurative "Stone Age." He can destroy their infrastructure and make it nearly impossible to sell Iranian oil, but what will that accomplish other than making the Iranian people truly hate us, rather than just parroting hateful slogans?

It's difficult to see any result(s) that will justify the whole adventure.

In the Real World, American troops exist to lead endangered lives. That's what we pay them to do.

Obama took out ISIS. Trump is losing in Iran.

What is your opinion of how Donald Trump is doing managing the Iran war.

I am former infantry so since he is not using our infantry, not an expert on air force bombing at all.
Do I think our military is doing well, I believe compared to what Iran is doing, very very good.

In the real world, a patient doesn't start a wa to take the attention away from his problems. We on't pay soldiers to fight wars started for no reason. They are paid to defend us, and this war is not being fought for our defense.

Obama took out ISIS. Trump is losing in Iran.

So, despite the terrible beating Iran is taking, them losing their military force, you think they are winning?

When did you become the forums military expert? Trump laid it out; he is removing a military threat to countries and even our country.
