    Well, what were the US objectives?

    I guess everyone stopped talking about Epstein so maybe that was the win.

      Epstein out of the spotlight was one.

      The other was providing cover for more Israeli land theft. They’ve now taken more of Gaza, as well as large swaths of Lebanon for themselves.

      I think the goal was to take china oil, then negotiate a trade deal from a position of force.
      That didn’t work at all.

    It was rather obvious to all that the United States lost the war, from early on.

    The Pentagon was able to see this outcome beforehand, but President Pedophile obeys the Zionists like no other.

      Does the pentagon see it that way, or is it just a bunch of Trump sycophants in the upper echelons now?

        Trump sycophants. Hegseth doesnt know what it really means to fight a war, and wont listen to generals that do. His warrior ethos bullshit is running into the reality of logistics. He literally told a carrier group to stay in theater over their deployment without resupply or relief.

        Its so stupid I honestly think iran is goading trump into attempting a land invasion.

    I feel like not a lot of countries are going to play along with this economic d-day thing. So I’m worried what will happen with those countries then.

      It will probably be ok, Iran has been working around bullshit American sanctions since the 1970s. They aren’t new to this game by any means.

        I meant other countries though. Let’s say Denmark/Greenland doesn’t want to play ball with these d-day sanctions, what then?

          Oh sorry I misread your comment. That’s a good question. Perhaps we can look at the current Spain/US relationship for some clues. They haven’t been letting US Air Force utilize bases there throughout the genocide in Gaza. US admin has been pissy about it, but that’s the extent so far afaik.
