    This is coming from the same administration who gave us the ill-fated plan to exit Afghanistan that ended in absolute disaster under Biden. You don’t just get to start a war and then leave whenever you want - the Iranians will take full advantage of a drawdown by striking military installations in the region and seizing equipment.

    This guy is an absolute moron.

      the ill-fated plan to exit Afghanistan

      Some plan. He made unilateral concessions, then surrendered, leaving the troop withdrawal to Biden and selling out the Afghans who allied themselves with the US.

    Even if the US retreats I hope Iran keeps that strait closed and eventually collapses all those gulf pedo-slave states.

    There has to be a price for collaborating with Americans and Israelis. If you want oil and be a US ally then you’ll have to rely on the US to share it’s own oil with you.

      It would be in Iran’s interest to evict the United States from the gulf permanently; the punishment the Iranians must inflict should be severe enough that the US and Israel never again try to initiate an attack like this.

      Thing is, can Iran understand this? In the past, their reaction against American aggression has been pretty tepid. That been said, the new Ayatollah has basically seen his family be decimated in a couple of weeks, so his response may be different this time around.

        Well closed in the sense that it’s strictly controlled. Iran can rebuild by charging obscene amounts for the pleasure of trading in it’s gulf.

    TACO-in-chief! As well as being the best friend of the pedophile Epstein. Seems Operation Epstein Fury is a failure.

    They can start all the wars they want, tell me aliens exist, send out checks, it doesn’t matter. I’ll never shut the fuck up about Epstein and these pedos.

    Yeah that’s why nobody wanted to touch this mess with a 10 ft pole.

    Perhaps the US military told the idiot this is far as you go. Typical of him to leave the situation as a cluster fuck. At least Japan will receive safe passage for their oil.

    Tl;dr: we’re fucked in the short run, but the world won’t forget this in the long run.
