If you declare war it’s hard to say “sorry I lost”. So then you have to escalate. It’s one of the reasons war is bad, actually.

Why Vietnam lasted so long. No president wanted to be the one who lost Vietnam.

And there was no objective other than containment. Couldn’t move troops into the North without triggering WWIII. Bombing didn’t work since the Viet Kong kept coming. There was no Berlin to capture or General Lee to surrender or Yorktown to siege.

Its a mosaic defense. Iran switched to the strategy about a decade ago. Iran basically has about 30 different military branches that can all act independently. There’s no cutting the head of the snake. You’re basically forced to fight 30 wars.

We're learning this now. The military / intelligence agencies likely already knew this. Trump isn't even learning this now because when intelligence tells him something it doesn't even register in his brain unless it's a teenager, a Big Mac or a well-done steak swimming in ketchup.

He got a dopamine spike from capturing Maduro, because many people in his base applauded him. Afterwards he was chasing to repeat this feeling in Iran, hungry for his fix. I think he didn't realize that even though Maduro is kidnapped, not even Venezuela is a deal shut and done, despite of claiming victory. Now he thinks claiming victory over and over again might do the trick, because that was enough in Venezuela to get approval from his peers.

Honestly if he would have stopped with the bombing of the Ayatollah, he probably could have claimed another victory but he let the ego get ahead of him

The military war-gamed this out over 20 years ago. The OP Forces general used aysemtric warfare and closed the Strait. He beat the US forces so soundly they stopped the exercises and changed the ROE. They f****** KNEW. Trump & Kegsbreath cant be bothered to listen to experts. This is the natural conclusion to electing the dumbest and cruelest amongst us.

Yeah, feel like we've been screamed at half a dozen times or more about the objectives being clear as day and that we've already won the war yet here we are...continuing to increase the number of troops in the area and Iran is still resisting hard. So. Yeah.

porgy_tirebiter Mar 28, 2026 +17
Except 1) the press was *much* freer at the time, and 2) what would count as winning and losing was pretty clear. Cutting and running while the North unified the country under communism meant losing. Right now winning could honestly be whatever the f*** Trump says it is as long as the Strait of Hormuz opens up and gas prices go down. Prices don’t even need to go down to what they were, they just need to go down enough for Trump to spin it. That’s totally doable. If Iran gets to set up tolls and charge ships a fee to exit, surely they’d be fine letting Trump declare victory in exchange. And Rubio has already been laying the groundwork for that.

invariantspeed Mar 28, 2026 +28
This is why clear goals matter. I keep hearing from certain news sources that US military is performing excellently and utterly dominating in every engagement. This is true, but it means nothing without the context of objectives (that are being closed in on or that are slipping away). Everyone can understand not telegraphing a blow-by-blow battle plan, but they’re acting like the government can’t say what its overarching objectives are without threading national security. It is all very concerning, militarily and democratically.

Its extremely difficult to invade and occupy land if you dont know the terrains as well as the locals. If they dont want you there, they can just use guerilla tactics constantly - attack you, withdraw, attack again. You can't gain a lasting foothold on the land if the local population resists and repels ever tiny advance the invaders make.

There's a reason why every previous administration didn't go to war with Iran because they knew it was going to be a clusterfuck. But the orange man and his circle of delusional neo-conservative sycophants think they're the exception to the rule.

Trump said in 2016 campaign that the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were a waste of American lives and resources.  Now hes done the exact same thing, but Iran is waaaaay harder to invade.

Possibly_English_Guy Mar 28, 2026 +63
>but Iran is waaaaay harder to invade See here's the thing, they either don't know that or are refusing to accept that. Racism, American arrogance and tendency to underestimate their adversaries and just plain old ignorance means these guys think all these places are the exact f****** same. And it's not just the government, the average American conservative knows sweet f*** all about any of these countries and couldn't even point them out on a map that was labeled.

Awkward-Hulk Mar 28, 2026 +53
I'm afraid that we may have already crossed the point of no return. Withdrawing now would unequivocally be seen as surrender. And no matter how much lying Trump and Fox News do, even their minions will see it that way. And on the other side of this, Iran would be crazy to sue for peace now. What's there to stop Israel and their puppet from attacking again? Trump broke all resemblance of credibility that the US had on this issue. Besides, Israel has one and only one objective: to install a puppet regime in Iran. They will not stop until that's a reality. And they'll drag their puppet along as usual.
53
Guy_GuyGuy Mar 28, 2026 +15
I don't think even Israel has an objective beyond Netanyahu staying out of prison. If it had any plans beyond that, it would have told Trump to order his generals to pick one of the 900 Iran war plans from the filing cabinets in the Pentagon that Israel more than likely helped write.

This isn’t even the Bush Jr Iraq war which started with tens of thousands of soldiers for the invasion, this is exactly how Vietnam escalated into a full blown draft. Even if trump gets bored as he is reported to be with his own war, this won’t stop magically. Every escalation will require further escalation. I pray for us all.

I get a strange feeling seeing all the young people say “oh, I’ll just refuse, I’ll throw the draft notice in the trash” as if they wouldn’t be thrown in prison and treated like a traitor for the entire war and beyond. i don’t think they understand exactly what a draft is - it’s not like they open up a bunch of job postings that you apply to. It’s not like jury service. They come and throw your ass in basic training, and if you are insubordinate or strategically incompetent, you get imprisoned or worse. That’s the main point about having a draft, when you get to that point it’s not voluntary anymore. You can try to refuse it, the same way you would refuse to pay your taxes or refuse an officer arresting you. If it were any different then everybody would refuse. And for all the young people under 30 who voted for Trump: hope it was worth it. This was a war of his choice, it didn’t have to happen. Just remember you’re going first before any of us old people are called.
137
Personal_Comb_6745 Mar 28, 2026 +47
If a mandatory draft happens, the country is fucked anyway. That basically means too many skilled people have been obliterated and now it's just throwing more bodies at the meat grinder in a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable.

this country is already fucked beyond repair a pedophile and his den of thieves are making the biggest market manipulation plays in history, America means nothing and stands for nothing except billionaires, cruelty and white nationalism. The dollar will lose it's value and America will lose it's place even IF we had the biggest blue wave in history, even IF these people are thrown in prison for life with no pardon, you still have 90 million people that love every minute of this shit and they would complain about "nothing getting done" and bring these fucks again.

Yup, it was the beginning of the end in 2016. I've been saying it all along. People keep on subconsciously believing that Democrats will fix things again for the next 2-8 years. That's why the stock market still remains so high, and why people fantasize about the US turning into a utopia of fairness and equality. Guess what guys? Our national debt and global warming already give us a hard deadline that we long since passed. We're finally seeing ripples now, but it gets exponentially worse. This moment right now might be the zenith of human civilization.

Slappyfist Mar 28, 2026 +22
To give my two cents, as you Americans say. What's happened is that the US had a period without competition, transferring into a period where the only possible competition was Russia and Europe (where Europe was more of a client state than competition). With the rise of China suddenly the US is not without competition and you don't like it. However, the two "competitors" are Europe (who has an almost similar GPD without a tech sector or army) and China. The problems have come from the EU being able to dictate terms to the US economically through regulations, which is why there is such focus on destroying the EU and pivoting to Russia as a junior partner instead (like Europe used to be). And China is no longer something US can control. With both happening at the same time the US is very close to being cut out by both if they work together. Basically, we're suffering from US having a tantrum that they no longer dictate the rules of the game.

This is how we sleepwalked directly into the blender of Vietnam. And Iran will be significantly worse than Vietnam because we had ARVN troops specifically set up to be bullet sponges there, whereas here we are going against a fortified nation with zero backup. If you have family in the military, this is not a laughing matter. A ground invasion attempt will result in a stream of flag draped boxes coming back.

the amount of times ive seen MAGA rationalize the build up of troops is insane. "trump is a business man. he knows how to negotiate. the threat of a ground war is a tool that he uses from his tool box to negotiate while showing strength" he's not bob the f****** builder. any commander or leader on the planet thats currently at war would be preparing for a ground invasion. matter of fact if I was a higher up in the IRGC and trump said "no ground invasion" I would SPECIFICALLY prepare for one. who the hell trusts the commander in chief of a country you're at war with??

Now, when my MAGA relatives brought up Trump as a negotiator, I told them that's spoonfed bullshit that they've been eating. I asked them if they heard about the joke Trump made to the Japanese Prime Minister. Maybe they had, maybe they hadn't. I clarified that the Japanese Prime Minister was visiting Trump because Japan needed ~~to make a decision about whether or not they were going to use Chinese yuan to buy oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz or if they would stick with the US dollar.~~ (MISINTERPRETATION OF MEETING re: WAR IN IRAN AND ENERGY POLICY). I explained how much of America's power and economy is tied to the world using petrodollars---buying oil with US currency. I explained that a reporter asked Trump why he didn't inform US allies such as Japan about the surprise attack on Iran. Trump turned around to the Japanese Prime Minister and made a joke about how the Japanese didn't warn the US about Pearl Harbor. ~~I told them the next day, Japan announced they were going to use Chinese Yuan to buy oil.~~ (UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR). I then told my relatives they've been conned. They've been played for rubes. Everything costs more. Jobs are drying up. We're at war. Nobody's being arrested for raping and sex-trafficking children documented in the Epstein files. And how even now, they're willing and eager to bend over and get fucked harder by Trump, the Republicans, and the rich fuckwads who own everything. Anyway, I'm disinvited for Easter dinner.

The number one post on the conservative sublistnook is that the libs are saying we need to submit to Islam. They're not even in the same reality anymore.

Republican voters are the most stupid fucks on this planet. Imagine voting for the two assholes that took us into Middle East forever wars because of culture war propaganda. I can understand hating democrats cause they are corporate shills but you gotta be actually mentally ill to support the Republican Party.

Kamala had a weird laugh and refused to do the Joe Rogan podcast which clearly makes her unfit for office. The senile Russian owned pedo was clearly the better choice.

Remember when a country would elect their village idiot and it would only impact them? So in order, bankrupted a c*****, multiple other businesses, over a million dead last time during covid, got elected again, concentration camps and the US government is insolvent I believe, now aiming to bankrupt the rest of the world. He carries on like a make a wish kid but this has to be the first time ever that people are routing for the terminal disease.

Dude, it's already there: The Actual Selling Price is around $175 a bbl. There's currently a large discrepancy between the Paper Price at $115 a bbl. Some countries have already declared a Public Emergency. So $300 a bbl will really take the sting out of buying a Chinese Electric Vehicle.

I was in Army infantry boot camp when the election was going on and when the drill sergeants finally told us who won the election nearly everyone in the platoon reacted like they just heard that Jesus Christ himself returned to Earth. Crazy to think that some of those guys were unknowingly cheering for the near future cause of their own early death.
