The war on Iran’s will end with no conclusion and no real damage to the Islamic regime. The Mullahs will celebrate another win, while the U.S. and Israel will remain suspicious about the the regime's military and nuclear capabilities. About the comparison between the war on Iran and the Vietnam war; it is arbitrary and not logical. The main difference is that what’s going on in Iran is mere air strikes, with no soldiers in the battleground.

Could This Iran War End Up Worse Than Vietnam? Vietnam was a quagmire, but it had boundaries: jungle, Ho Chi Minh Trail, North vs. South, a defined enemy. You could pull out, declare “peace with honor,” and the body count (58,000 US dead) was horrific but contained. The war stayed mostly in Southeast Asia, didn’t crash the global economy, and the US could eventually walk away without the world burning or being forced to accept defeat. This Iran situation? It’s shaping up to be a multi-dimensional nightmare: 1. Geographic & strategic scale
Iran is 3× the size of Vietnam, mountainous, with ballistic missiles that reach Israel, Gulf states, and potentially Europe. Proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, Iraqi militias) are already active on four fronts. Vietnam didn’t have that kind of regional network. 2. Economic & energy impact
Vietnam didn’t control 20% of the world’s oil transit (Strait of Hormuz). We’re already seeing tankers blocked, $2 million extortion fees, Brent flirting with $150+, gas prices climbing toward $8–$10 in the US. That hits every American wallet directly. Vietnam never did that. 3. Nuclear wildcard
Vietnam had no nukes. Iran does (or is very close). Even if the program is damaged, loose material in a collapse scenario means dirty bombs, black-market sales, or warlord nukes. That’s apocalyptic-level escalation Vietnam never threatened. 4. Domestic US blowback
Vietnam polarized America, but today’s division is already at fever pitch. Add $10 gas, inflation rebound, dead soldiers on TikTok, and campuses erupting again? January 6-level unrest looks tame. Vietnam protests took years to boil over; this could ignite in months. 5. Civil war & the Islamic Republic emerging as superpower – bad and worse
 a. If the regime collapses, Iran could fracture into civil war along ethnic and ideological lines. Neighboring states (Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Gulf monarchies) risk their own internal implosions or spillover insurgencies. A fractured Iran means refugee waves, jihadist safe havens, and proxy wars spreading across the region, potentially dragging down fragile governments. b. A prolonged war could ironically strengthen a hardened, decentralized IRGC-led remnant. Surviving the storm, it could re-emerge as a more resilient, nuclear-capable, ideologically pure force, turning Iran into a Shia superpower with global reach through proxies. Unlike Vietnam, this war will reshape the world order forever in favor of China and Russia: China quietly buys discounted oil, Russia supplies drones and intel, North Korea sells missiles. A weakened, divided US loses credibility, energy security, and moral authority. The multipolar world tilts decisively toward Beijing and Moscow. The dollar weakens, alliances fracture, and the post-WWII order ends, not with a bang, but with $10 gas and empty promises. Vietnam cost ~$1 trillion (adjusted). This war is already burning billions weekly. Add prolonged chaos, refugee waves, jihadist blowback, regional collapses, and energy crisis? It could cost trillions and leave the US weaker, more divided, and less trusted globally. Vietnam was bad. This has the potential to be Vietnam × Iraq × Syria × 1973 oil crisis all at once, with nukes, civil war contagion, and a new world order permanently tilted toward China and Russia.

Dahlia, you’re an example of strength and resilience. The positivity you spread through your work and posts on X is very rare. Many times over the past couple of years I envied your ability to stay optimistic when everything around us seemed dark and negative. Stay strong, Dahlia. Shabbat Shalom.

I am not okay. I’ve lost 3 of my most beloved in the past few years. Recently my papa and my dog about a year earlier. I experienced a life-changing physical trauma live — as I performed in front of an audience of thousands — and no one even knew it. I spend my nights wired trying to fall asleep. And my days fighting a never-ending battle. A battle that also threatens my personal safety. Resilience isn't just about bouncing back. Resilience is about personal growth through challenges. And personal growth isn't just about overcoming. It's about learning how to move forward — even when obstacles block your path. Sometimes I think resilience is also about learning when to stop moving. So you can take a break. I suck at that. And I'm not proud of it either. We live in a 24/7 culture. And just because my resilience caters to it, doesn't make it strength. Strength can be most powerful when choosing not to do anything at all. Does this mean I’ll stop? No. Does this mean I’m ok? Of course not. I'm struggling. I know I’m not the only going through this. I just want you to know you are not alone. We all go through losses, illness, emotional pain, physical pain... And there is evil in the world we all must confront. These obstacles can change you — but none of them reduce your value. Shabbat Shalom💙💋

For many political and social reasons, Israel as a political entity may not be the Biblical Israel God wants it to be, but it certainly remains the fulfilment of Biblical prophecies such as Isaiah 11 & 43 and Amos 9. The Jews also remain God’s people through whom Biblical prophecies such as Revelation 7 & 15 will be fulfilled.
Bishop Robert Barron@BishopBarron

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

@BishopBarron Maybe Bishop Barron is not Catholic enough or not as Catholic as the deranged Carrie Boller. That’s why they kept him in the Commission. The Bishop should confess, repent and follow her fooliness Boller.

Your Excellency, you shared with me through text message to me that my position reflects Catholic teaching, especially that the modern state of Israel is not the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. That is the position I expressed, and yet I was removed from the Religious Liberty Commission. Respectfully, it is difficult not to conclude that this commission does not truly care about religious liberty when a Catholic can be removed for faithfully articulating the Church’s teaching. Asking me to deny Catholic teaching in order to satisfy a political ideology is itself a violation of my religious freedom. As Pope Leo XIII warned, “To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamor is raised against truth, is the part of a coward.” Whether I serve on this Commission or not, my voice will only grow louder for those being persecuted for their faith. I believe this appointment was ordained by God, and I will not abandon my Catholic faith to keep a position on a commission that has abandoned its mission. If my religious freedom is not protected, then no one’s is. Please speak up. Please stand up for Catholics. Be brave, Bishop Barron. The world needs brave men.

Would Governor Josh Stein also recommend that all residents of North Carolina observe Easter—including Muslims? By the way, Muslims do not believe that Jesus rose from the dead. @NC_Governor
Brother Rachid الأخ رشيد@BrotherRasheed

I left a country where Ramadan is enforced by law. I came to America for freedom. Now a governor is commending everyone to observe it. That’s a troubling direction. @NC_Governor @SloanRachmuth

Have you noticed how many times @ZohranKMamdani has promoted Islam since he became mayor of NYC? Is this a manifestation of "freedom of religion" or a violation of the separation of religion (church) and state? Does your freedom of religion supersede our rights to be free from your religion?

@TPostMillennial The only problem here is thst Canada doesn’t have an election any time in the near future. Carney is on his way to have a majority government, and people won’t go to the polls until 2029.

Decision makers dream of regime change in Iran, nice fantasy, replace the nightmare with something better. But in reality they are not causing regime change, rather regime collapse. Power vacuum. Fragmentation. Civil war. The illusion of regime change will be paid in blood, global chaos, division and social unrest in the United States. If they keep insisting on regime change they will lead to decentralized jihadi regime which is not good for anyone, especially Iranians. Weaken, isolate, sanction the Islamic Republic. Avoid sudden collapse and power vacuum. More decision makers are buying the regime change fantasy every day. I’m afraid they will fail, and by failing, they will create a much greater evil. Regime change is a high bar. It can only be achieved by the power of the people. Military intervention will most likely create the opposite outcome.

I am afraid what we have been hearing was fake news, and that majority of Iranians support the Islamic regime. If this is not true, why haven’t they took advantage of the American-Israeli strikes against the regime? If Iranians don’t rise up and reclaim their country within the next few days, a rare golden opportunity to bring the regime down will be wasted.

It is foolish of President @realDonaldTrump to blame Israel for the Islamic regime’s attack on the Qatari gas facility. That was meant to appease the terrorist regime of #Qatar. Partners do not do that to one another, Mr. President.
