Protestants built America.

Uh yeah, looks like Trump and the US military had a game plan vs Iran. Lotta critics looking really fuckin stupid right now.

I’ve said this before and I will say it again: Trump made a mistake starting this war, made the right decision ending it, and can STILL turn it into a win for the U.S. and the region This is how: 1. Accept a proposal similar to the pre-war Oman offer, which includes an essential dismantling of their nuclear program 2. Offer to unfreeze Iranian assets and the lifting of sanctions in exchange for Iran dismantling their proxy network (mainly Hezbollah) 3. Optional, allow a very temporary Iranian toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz as part of the reparations, and if lucky, Iran may kickback a small % of the proceeds to the U.S. This could become the beginning of an era of normalization between Iran and the West 4. Force Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territories as Hezbollah’s military wing gets disarmed/disbanded This way the Iranian people enjoy a better life with the sanctions lifted, the U.S. pulls Iran slightly away from China’s orbit, and the dismantling of Iran’s proxy network brings peace to the region and removes threats Israel uses to justify their aggressive foreign policy Downsides: 1. The same Iranian regime that massacred protesters remains in power (that ship has sailed, regime change operation failed) 2. Lebanon loses a deterrent against Israeli invasion (France, the U.S. and the Arab world need to help re-arm the Lebanese Army) 3. The Gulf need to accept Iran as a permanent superpower in the region (that process has already begun) Of course this outcome is unlikely, the world is far from a utopia, but Trump may still pull off something similar, something that could be considered a win for all parties involved.

The US just forced Iran to the negotiating table via blockading exports but you wont hear about that because people are determined to critique the war at any opportunity they can.

The experts: - The naval blockade won’t work. - Iran is winning the war and they have all the leverage. - Oil prices will soar. Reality: - The blockade worked and the strait is open. - Iran capitulated. - Oil prices are down 10% this morning. Stop taking these people seriously.

People saying we won, we have the strongest military in the world and couldn't out right defeat the regime, it is what is...Sounds like the Korean war, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq...

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

Maturing is releasing the films you once thought were good are actually brazen US propaganda with a Hollywood budget.

It is hard to even grasp the full extent of the defeat of the U.S. Iran rendered practically all U.S. bases in the region uninhabitable, and the only way the "greatest military in the world" was able to retaliate was to sink an unarmed frigate and resort to piracy. Just consider the depth the U.S. had sunk into.
