Trump: ‘I won more than anyone’s ever won.’
This guy: ‘uh, actually…’ 😂

The wins for Trump are as follows:
1. Fatigue
2. Humiliation
3. More of Trumps lies.
It’s probably going to be a combination of all three. Either way, both the people of Iran and the people of the United States are going to lose.

Once shooting stop’s, blockade ends.Real struggle for current regime starts to keep control over demanding masses of Iranian citizens.

In other words we win when things return to the way they were before we started shooting?

So don’t fight Iran? What is this dude saying?

Yes, don’t fight Iran. This war is incredibly stupid. It’s a forever-war that the US cannot win. The US is crashing the world economy while every bomb is increasing the Iranian support for the regime and undermining the Iranian opposition.

Why would you fight Iran? You’ve burned through 2 decades of military munitions in 3 months to achieve exactly what you had before burning all those supplies. You couldn’t even fight the Taliban to more than a stand still in Afghanistan and they are less developed and have less resources and less regional power.

The best case scenario is going back to how things used to be, just with even higher tensions. Not a good recipe for peace.

So what is Iran’s strategic objective???? Other than survive/force a surrender
@rainzerdesu
April 22, 2026 at 5:11 pm
If you are invaded, that is your strategic objective. Why would they have any other strategic objective?
@bjornstenfors8455

Iran’s strategic objective is to survive.

So they just need to find a 1000 pounds of enriched uranium under the ground and put in a US-friendly regime and control the strait of hormuz. No problem. LOL!

So many people on the far right claim we “win” wars that we lost because our killcount was high. Those people have no place discussing war. Winning a war is not friggen CoD acheivements.

Well if Iran’s military is completely obliterated the other goals are pretty easy to accomplish

Similar concept happened in Vietnam.
USA got tired of fighting so they left. The VC and NVA reunified the country, got what they wanted, and raised the red flag that’s been standing ever since.
A gross oversimplification, but you all get the point
