It's wild that people were forecasting this last night because troops were posting photos of lobster dinners.
A war with no objective, no timeline, not authorized by congress, inflicting massive damage to the national and world economy, and the executive going cap in hand begging for more borrowed money to run it.
Too bad the whole world has to sit and watch itself get fucked...
What I don't understand is that the talk on this concerns marines going through the Strait of Hormuz to then annex the Iranian terminals on Kharg Island. Now, I know marines are kind of into doing water things, but the USA owns the GCC countries, and I think Iraq was conquered a little while ago. So why can't a different route be taken? Can't they just drive across the desert from the country known as Israel? Or from…

Trump's always admired Putin, and now just like Putin, he's also entered his own quagmire... Retreating isn't even a viable option, as far as I understand, an angry Iranian regime will keep disrupting the region, so now Trump's only option is to escalate. Too bad the whole world has to sit and watch itself get fucked...
Nobody wants to get involved when Iran is fighting back against US aggression. The world would get a lot more interested in doing so if it were just conducting unprovoked, unilateral piracy in the straight.
Withdrawal is a viable option for everyone but the man who started it.
Congress can end this any time by not paying for this shit.
If only they had given him a Nobel Peace Prize .....

Retreating is a viable option for the US. The world will return to the status quo in a week or three, and he will look every bit the fool that he is. Nobody wants to get involved when Iran is fighting back against US aggression.

But this is amateur geopolitics commentary (A great quote about Internet commentariat when the Russian invasion started was "Last week I was an epidemiologist, this week I'm a geopolitical expert!")
