    The Iranians’ biggest mistake here were to be weak. Ever since 2020 when Trump first attacked them, they failed to achieve any meaningful retaliation, and they have successively failed to achieve any till today.

    Seeing that Iran did nothing but a face saving strike when the US took down Solemeni, the Israelis went ahead with striking their consulate in 2024. Seeing yet another weak response, they went for all out strikes on their facilities in 2025. Yet again no retort from Iran. Well, guess what? Now they’re rampaging all over the bloody country.

    The Americans’ assessment of Iran was clear. Iran would not establish any form of deterrence because it clings to the delusions of having a negotiated settlement being ratified, which the Americans themselves never had any intention of signing.

    Had the IRGC and Hizbullah replied in a tit-for-tat each time to punish American and Israeli assets in the region for their illegal and insane actions, clear deterrence would have been established and Iran’s red lines would have been backed with some credibility. The Americans would not have been so keen to act with such impunity. But again, because of the Ayatollah’s futile hope to keep the door open for future negotiations, they’ve sabotaged their own position as well as their nuclear program. And the result now is that both the IRGC and Hzb have been split apart and are being destroyed one at a time.

    Ironically, the Ayatollah’s half-hearted policy towards American aggression is what probably cost him his life and those of his immediate family today.

    Trump is essentially a shark in the water (no disrespect meant towards sharks). If it smells blood, it will pounce on its prey, no questions asked. But if its prey is willing to struggle, it will move on to another already injured target.

    The biggest mistake to make against this kind of adversary is to show weakness. But Iran could not understand that.

    Isn’t war something that needs to go through congress? On top of that, isn’t this an international joint operation between two nations that DEFINITELY would need to go through congress? Doesn’t matter? Okay.

      Constitutionally, war should go through congress.

      But we haven’t followed the constitution in a very long time, obviously… decades

      that’s what makes someone like Trump possible, and here we are.

        But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.

      Hasn’t it kind of already started? All these individual wars are always backed up by either of the two big economic blocks: China and its allies vs. USA and its allies. It really looks like a rehearsal before a full-blown confrontation.

        Sure there’s been a wave of imperialist wars, but it would have to cascade out of control and legitimately threaten world superpowers directly for a world war to break out. All this adventurism taking place is unfortunately just par for the course. IMO something truly unprecedented like the US launching a ground invasion against Mexico would have to happen to set off a cascade. I don’t think even airstrikes on Mexico would do it, only a ground invasion.

      At the moment, it just sounds like “America is finally winning again” on all channels and frequencies

    “The Trump Administration” is a terrorist state. You’re blaming the wrong people if you think the citizens who march in the streets everyday against this villainy are the perpetrators of this violence. Be better, please.

      Oh please average Americans have been openly calling for this for decades and celebrated when they finally did it. Your crocodile tears fool no one and you’re only protesting now because the current administration was a little mean to white Americans as well, you never gave a shit about what Americans did to anyone else, not now, not ever. Before this was y’all celebrating the “liberation” of Venezuela, Iraq, the Banana Republics, and on and on and on. You brush aside any civilian casualties with a handwavy “well I for one didn’t want that to happen” and then pretend everyone else criticising you on it are the problem, yet you keep cheering on the military strikes for regime changes themselves as if they’re separate isolated things. Even now you’re more concerned with how people criticising Americans need to “be better” for how they phrase their criticisms because it’s apparently a worse crime to hurt your feelings.

      Fuck America and fuck Americans.

      Not to be against distinctions and clearly this administration is insane. But I agree with the rest that it is not a one time thing. The imperialism has been there for decades. Chile 73 just to give one.

        You are countering a point I did not make, good sir. I said don’t blame the citizens. We’re fighting and dying in the streets to stop this regime. Why are you pointing out the timeline? I didn’t mention it

        Do you think Harris would have kept us out of Iran?

        Why?

        We don’t vote for this, it always IS regardless of voting. According to polls, most voters don’t want us fighting in the middle east or anywhere else. Ever.

          She’s not Trump. That’s all that matters.

          If she hadn’t bombed Iran, it would be because she was kinder and wiser and more serious. If she had bombed Iran, it would have been for better reasons and with more international support.

          But the important thing is that she wouldn’t be Trump.
