You can’t martyr the second leader the Islamic Republic of Iran has had in like 50 years of existence and then expect them to be willing to negotiate. Additionally the horrific destruction of the elementary school.. Furthermore, we started bombing them DURING NEGOTIATIONS, which further erodes their trust in any negotiations. And Israel would not be party to the negotiations, meaning a ceasefire may not apply to them. Iran has the upper hand right now despite it having very little defense against US/Isr bombing and US/Isr air superiority, owing to the budding economic crisis as a result of the strait of Hormuz access denial and the attacks on gulf states oil and gas facilities

Just as a reminder, Iran-Iraq war dragged for almost a decade (which, as footnote, dragged for years because the US pumped Saddam with weapons) resulting in over 1 million Iranian deaths. Nowadays there might be way many more Iranians against their government than in the 80s, but it makes hard to make a case for Iranian people to not defend their country when the countries that they have been claiming for almost 50 years that are out to invade and control and destroy for are, in fact, backstabbing them, controlling and destroying.

That's called thinly veiled threats, not negotiations lol. You know what using violence or the threat of violence to push for certain outcomes is called usually? Terrorism. Not to mention how unreasonable this ask is. Like.. are you serious? Why should someone give up means to protect themselves from others who have renegged on deals before? What is to say they won't do that again against an adversary after they give up arms? Why should a nation give up arms to appease you in the first place, against the ones who bomb first AND mid negotiations?

they signed a treaty that made it illegal under international law for them to weaponize their nuclear program.
View on Reddit #80052890

Preyy@reddit

Few follow up questions to clarify: So if a country signs a treaty, then does a thing that violates a treaty, another country can invade the other country and execute their leader? You used the word "allowed", and contrasted that with diplomacy, so I'm taking that to mean unilateral military action like what they are doing here, bombing, assassinations. If not, what specific actions are allowable? Is it illegal because it is against international law, or because the treaty was ratified in domestic law, or both? Only certain types of treaties? From your perspective. Did you look at what the US was actually "negotating" for? I don't want to make any assumptions or misunderstand you here. My next response is going to be to point out how the US, does all these things to show the flaws in your justification, the one currently being used by the US as it unilaterally invades another country, while the CIA says there are no nukes, months after the white house said Iran would be unable to build nukes after US bombing. I just want to make sure I understand.
View on Reddit #80061986

proterraria@reddit

to your first question depends on the impotence of the treaty this one could be worth millions of lives or even a nuclear war. idk if i am dumb or what but i don't see where i used the word allowed, but to answer your question in this case utterly destroy all nuclear infrastructure. i mean they have a stock pile measured by IAEA of 440kg of 60% enriched so they are clearly able to get there.
View on Reddit #80067094

Preyy@reddit

Well the US is the only state to use nukes, and they have thousands of them, way more dangerous than anybody else. They have a long history of illegal invasions, both under international law and domestic law. Is China entitled to assassinate US politicians and carpet bomb New York? I worry about Iran too, but we can't resort to lawlessness like the US. US criminality for oil profit is why Iran is the way it is, when the US CIA overthrew the democratically elected leader to install a US-friendly dictator. Now that Israel/US have martyred Khameni, it looks impossible that this constant war approach will ever actually fix anything.

its different cause the US already has nukes you don't see anyone messing with north Korea. i would ask you this if you were in the US situation what would you have done? has they clearly are not giving up on the nuclear plan.
View on Reddit #80092789

Preyy@reddit

What you are describing might makes right, a lawless world where the powerful exert their power unchecked. The US has nukes and gets to invade any country that doesn't. Do you think other countries get to unilaterally make and enforce laws in the US? What would I do if I was the US? Stay in the JCPOA, it was a tremendous deal for the US. However, the US did not want diplomacy, they wanted war and violence, again, and again, and again... This incentivizes people to make nukes, like North Korea, to avoid getting invaded by the US again. If someone bombed your kid's school and turned them into red mist, do you think you would want the security a nuke provides for your other kid? Of course you would. Frankly, as long as the US has nukes is laughably hypocritical for it to condemn other countries for building then. If the US thinks nukes are bad, then it should push for reduction. It doesn't, it just wants to maintain nuclear hegemony. It's like Hitler complaining that the allies are making illegal tanks. Sorry Hitler, don't care what you think. You stated that Iran is "clearly not giving up their nuclear plan". This is not true, and you don't seem to know the facts, or the history, Iran agreed to everything to avoid war. The axis of Epstein (Israel/US) was desperate for war. I going to copy paste a good comment that I read that can provide more information: Much Pilot355 It's fucking insane how Iran already kowtower to US demands within the last decade. Just a cursory look at the timeline will drive you mad. Obama signed the JCPOA and Iran kept its side of the commitment to a T. Relations were beginning to improve, then the fascist orange turd came and tore it up, applied maximum pressure by lobbying sanctions at them and Iran still kept to the deal unilaterally until Solemani was killed. A guy who they lured into a fake meeting then drone striked him like the pieces of shits that they are. US lured them into fake negotiations last year despite making up its mind to attack Iran and destroy its nuclear sites. They partook in this sham negotiations, then launched a decapitating strike using their attack dog Israel as the spearhead to assassinate senior leaders, then dropped bunker busters on underground nuclear sites claiming to have ended the program (a total lie as we know). Then they lured them again into another BS negotiations while simultaneously having the biggest military buildup in the region since the Iraq war, already planning to carpet bomb the capital, kill the supreme leader and decapitate the entire government then install a puppet (or turning it into a failed state like the Libya example). program absurdity The crazy thing is after ALL that the Iranians still played ball, engaging in good faith with the very slim chance of reaching a compromise despite the absurdity of the latest rounds of demands from the Trump administration, which essentially amounted to surrender of sovereignty and demilitarization of the country. Terms imposed on nations that declare unconditional surrender after Brutal wars and not good faith negotiations between two parties interested in peace and avoiding war. And you know what's mind blowing? IRAN STILL AGREED HOURS BEFORE THE ATTACK NOT TO ENRICH ANY URANIUM AND PROPOSED TO MOVE MOST OF THEIR 450 KG 60 ENRICHED MASS TO RUSSIA AS A FIRST STEP Trump of course didn't give a crap because he already gave the green light months ago to start a regime toppling war. Fuck anyone who claims that Iranians wanted this war and didn't do anything to avoid it. They humiliated themselves over and over and took countless slaps to avert regional war with disastrous global consequences, and STILL the American empire came for them. Unfuckingbelivable Now The US and its shitty little attack dog imposed a war of survival on the Iranian nation and are asking them to negotiate after all that. The absolute supremacist narcissism and shamelessness is off the fucking charts. Iran realized that negotiations with the US and Israel is a lost cause. Something that's more dangerous than continuing a war that will destroy their country and the global economy. Inflicting huge damages on the empire is deemed more worthy of a goal goal to pursue than talking to them and get fooled by another strike and sanctions. They will never set on the table before putting the region on fire and sink the global economy, making the bloodthirsty war mongering pedo fascists in power pay dearly for their decisions. And no honest person at this stage can blame then. You have to wonder who moved them to such extent to think that the mere mention of negotiations is a non starter. Well you got your answers. ---end quote---

I'd say they were kinda vindicated by the fact that all you can say is here blaming proxies for attacking US proxies (bases) in foreign nations, while in terms of hitting the actual country itself, the US has a much much longer list of attacking Iranian land and personnel than vice versa. As for whether or not they really were building a nuke, we won't get mired in this, but it is not like they weren't also vindicated in needing such deterrence from another nation that has "illegal" nukes and is not a party of the NPT and is supported by the US that repeatedly sanctions them and renegges on deals too, as you should know. Wonder they might have a bone to pick with them.

dasunt@reddit

I define "martyr" as a term for someone who is perceived to have been killed or died for the cause they believed in, and is to be considered inspirational for others who share similar beliefs. That's independent of a value judgement. For example, Ashley Babbitt could be described as a martyr for the right in the US. Hamas terrorists are martyrs for violent Palestinian groups. Baruch Goldstein could be described as a martyr for Kahanists. I would not call any of them goof people, but positioning them as martyrs fills a goal for the causes they are part of. They are meant to encourage others to do more to support a cause. And that's the use of martyrs - they are held up as inspirational, to encourage further action.

You realize I’m talking about INTERNALLY to Iranian’s? A religious zealot leader who “died for their cause” is a martyr, at least in regards to Islam. There is no positive or negative connotation to me saying that he’s a martyr, I’m just stating facts about what many in the Shia Islam world will consider him to be - a martyr who died for their cause cause: Martyrdom is a big thing for Islam, doesn’t matter if it was a bad person. For example, the radicals who supported Al Qaeda considered the 9/11 terrorists martyrs.

So you don’t consider him a martyr you just say Iranians do internally? Though tbh a lot will not consider if a martyr in Iran given he just murdered tens of thousands of people for protesting against him. >for example Very very few people would call bin laden a martyr online just because some radical isalmists call him that most would just call him a terrorist. He would galvanise support alive and without any justice. I can understand why the US would kill him.

Whether a person is good or bad doesn't factor into if they're considered a martyr or not. Do you think the pope has done evil things?

Iran is not targeting the US economy, Iran is targeting the US reputation to protect the global economy (mainly the shipping industry). The US superpower status is backed by its military ensuring the security of global trade. "We promise to protect the global shipping industry and trade, in turn you use US Dollar in your trade" that's the simplest version of why the US gets called a superpower and why the whole world agree to it. Economy is almost a zero sum game, while it might be true that Trump and his cronies are benefitting off this, the American people and the common people anywhere in the world will bear the cost of the crumbling American Empire.

US military top staff will likely refuse to invade. Trump will maintain air strikes on iranian military infrastructure, that way, it will distract the US voters for the Midterms and further. It will be similar to the civil war in Syria: western forces will be striking from above, leaving the regional ground forces to deal with the rest if they want to. Netanyahu will likely do the same: he can't afford a ground invasion through Iraq, and needs his forces at home to invade Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank.

Stephen Miller wants an ultra-conservative extreme right US to have total domination over every other country in all matters. He wants US policy and US demands to be the principle concern for every other nation, and he wants the unilateral right for the US to use overwhelming firepower to force compliance without all these pesky questions. Stephen Miller is the answer to "what if white privilege had a face?". Actually scratch that, he's more like "If white privilege and authoritarianism had a baby which colonial exploitation helped raise, and *that* had a face". Apparently that face is "angry egg" and ngl, I did *not* see that coming.

Oh no, $2.5B gone... With a yearly military budget of $874B. With a war in iraq costing $2,000B. The US is _insanely_ rich and so is its military. Interceptors running low means what? A few hundreds of casualties at most on their side, while US and IDF will intensify strikes on anything that moves, and start using unguided bombs to flatten any suspected launch site. >Assassinating the Ayatollah was a point of no return If the US/Israel cared about the fate of the millions of iranians, and the immediate safety of israelis. Given that neither Trump nor Netanyahu care one bit about iranians' lives or israelis' safety, they'll keep this conflict going for a decade if possible, with lulls in the fight followed by renewed strikes.

There was no reason to do this other than to continue genociding and take the land. > Hamas didn't ever stick to the agreed terms which means it was always broken.

But we have mountains of evidence of Israeli ceasefire violations. The media just never reports on it. > They killed 30 fucking 000 people This isn't why the USA/Israel bombed Iran. No one actually believes they were being the heroes and coming to save the Iranian people. They did it because Israel wanted this war to force a regime change and install an Israel friendly leader, furthering Israel's ultimate goal of expansion.

GR1ZZLYBEARZ@reddit

“Certain violations in advanced centrifuge numbers may have been rectified inadvertently via breakage, although other violations persist. To the credit of the Trump administration, its policy to better enforce the deal appears to be improving Iranian compliance with the nuclear limits. However, it is too soon to conclude that Iran is complying or will comply fully with the deal’s nuclear limits. Iran can be expected to continue to push the deal’s limits, commit violations, and seek interpretations that are unfounded. One should expect many struggles to keep Iran within the nuclear limits for the duration of the deal.” Pretty bad when scientists after the deal basically said they’re not complying, won’t comply and will keep pushing for weapons.

It’s fucking insane how Iran already kowtowed to US demands within the last decade. Just a cursory look at the timeline will drive you mad. Obama signed the JCPOA and Iran kept its side of the commitment to a T. Relations were beginning to improve, then the fascist orange turd came and tore it up, applied maximum pressure by lobbying sanctions at them and Iran still kept to the deal unilaterally until Solemani was killed. A guy who they lured into a fake meeting then drone striked him like the pieces of shits that they are. US lured them into fake negotiations last year despite making up its mind to attack Iran and destroy its nuclear sites. They partook in this sham negotiations, then launched a decapitating strike using their attack dog Israel as the spearhead to assassinate senior leaders, then dropped bunker busters on underground nuclear sites claiming to have ended the program (a total lie as we know). Then they lured them again into another BS negotiations while simultaneously having the biggest military buildup in the region since the Iraq war, already planning to carpet bomb the capital, kill the supreme leader and decapitate the entire government then install a puppet (or turning it into a failed state like the Libya example). The crazy thing is after ALL that the Iranians still played ball, engaging in good faith with the very slim chance of reaching a compromise despite the absurdity of the latest rounds of demands from the Trump administration, which essentially amounted to surrender of sovereignty and demilitarization of the country. Terms imposed on nations that declare unconditional surrender after Brutal wars and not good faith negotiations between two parties interested in peace and avoiding war. And you know what’s mind blowing ? IRAN STILL AGREED HOURS BEFORE THE ATTACK NOT TO ENRICH ANY URANIUM AND PROPOSED TO MOVE MOST OF THEIR 450 KG 60 ENRICHED MASS TO RUSSIA AS A FIRST STEP. Trump of course didn’t give a crap because he already gave the green lit months ago to start a regime toppling war. Fuck anyone who claims that Iranians wanted this war and didn’t do anything to avoid it. They humiliated themselves over and over and took countless slaps to avert regional war with disastrous global consequences, and STILL the American empire came for them. Unfuckingbelivable ! Now The US and its shitty little attack dog imposed a war of survival on the Iranian nation and are asking them to negotiate after all that. The absolute supremacist narcissism and shamelessness is off the fucking charts. Iran realized that negotiations with the US and Israel is a lost cause. Something that’s more dangerous than continuing a war that will destroy their country and the global economy. Inflicting huge damages on the empire is deemed more worthy of a goal to pursue than talking to them and get fooled by another strike and sanctions. They will never set on the table before putting the region on fire and sink the global economy, making the bloodthirsty war mongering pedo fascists in power pay dearly for their decisions. And no honest person at this stage can blame them. You have to wonder who moved them to such extent to think that the mere mention of negotiations is a non starter. Well you got your answers.

Remember when Hamas showed up to negoitate in Qatar and THE TOP OF THE ISRAELI COMMAND CHAIN LAUNCHED ROCKETS INTO THEIR SUPPOSED ALLY'S COUNTRY TO DISRUPT THE TALKS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO ATTEND. Fuck outta here with that crazy ass line. We know at least one side 100% is working in bad faith to the highest order and it was international news so its not even a secret.

American intelligence agencies aren't going to cheerlead for Hamas like you're keen to do, so you can't take that kind of apologetics into "How people will deal with Trump". Meanwhile, the CIA tells him in a single page, 40 point font memo "Putin Lied To You" and Putin's lies still work, so that's a pretty strong indication that lying to his face even when he should have all the information to know you're doing it works.

“The two Nazis of this era”? _The two_? Aren’t you forgetting about the _worst_ child-murdering, child-kidnapping offender? The atrocities of Iran’s regime against its own civilians, Israel’s cold-blooded and self-admitted genocide in Gaza, and the random acts of unplanned evil from the Trump junta pale in comparison. Not that it’s a competition. They’re all evil. Surely you jest? You’re from “North America” so perhaps it’s understandable that you wouldn’t care or be aware about this, but there’s a multi-year war going on in Europe: russia, a fascist country led by a megalomaniacal deranged dictator with drug-fueled dreams of a return to an imaginary greatness that never actually existed, has invaded Ukraine and is committing genocide just like Nazi Germany did in World War Two. If all of the above is news to you, start from here, it’s about Nazi state propaganda in russian schools, I challenge you to find anything of this level of evil in Iran, or Israel, or the USA: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/mar/02/teacher-putin-primary-school-propoganda-mr-nobody-against-putin-pavel-talankin In fact it’s difficult to find a difference, be it political, ideological, military, or sociological, between the russia of 2026 and Nazi Germany of 1944, but perhaps you with your “North American” perspective can find one.

I don’t know why a (russian) bot account would be trained to do that, it’s a bit too much on the nose… Perhaps pure incompetence? Also, famously, part of the russian modus operandi. Perhaps a Chinese bot, then? I don’t think so: a Chinese bot would output better English than that text which has the hallmarks of a poorly educated native russian speaker. I suspect, on the balance, that it’s just another semi-literate russian propagandist who is trying to use good old whataboutism, in this case it’s “the accusation in a mirror”, where you identify all the bad things you know you are doing and then you accuse others of it.

Because the other option is certain death. Granted, the Iranian regime has proved over and over again they don't care about how many of their own die. If America and Israel are the Nazis of this era, what does that make countries like Russia, China, and North Korea, where millions of people are interned or stuck in forced labor for the rest of their lives? Or the gulf states, where the human slave trade is alive and well? Or Iran, where they are killing 10-20,000 of their own people every 5-10yrs so they don't have to increase the quality of life and can keep sponsoring mass casualty terrorist attacks? It's hard to take hyperbolic arguments seriously, especially when they intentionally omit anything that challenges the arguments validity.

View on Reddit #80035091

icameow14@reddit

I don’t understand the logic behind your argument. Being the one that’s being invaded has nothing to do with who should be the one surrendering. The ones surrendering are the ones that think they might all die if they don’t. You don’t need to wait till you’ve “lost” to surrender, that’s the whole point of surrendering. The surrender becomes the loss. Iran doesn’t stand a chance. If they refuse to surrender, there will only be more bloodshed on their side. Of course, when the ideology behind their fighting is a divine one, they wonnt think pragmatically, they will happily die for their cause and take the whole country down with them. This is exactly what happened to Hamas and to Hezbollah. They know they stand no chance and still continue to fight with zero regards to their own civillians getting hurt because destroying Israel takes precedence over protecting their own people. It’s funny you mention Iran being the one who’s being invaded because technically, their proxies are the ones who invaded and attacked first. Add to that the fact that they were building nuclear weapons and lying about it, no one needs to wait for them to “invade” directly. I don’t understand these imaginary rules that you guys love to invent when it comes to war. It gives off a lot of “everyone gets a participation trophy” energy. No. Losing has consequences and there is such a thing as running out of chances.

The sheer scale of that atrocity is just... it's wild to see people acting like it didn't happen. It's important to condemn unethical actions by nations like the US and Israel.

No I mean, you're pro-vile people. I think you're straight up lying, actually. Or at least, disingenuous about why you want the Arab parties to gain more power. Do you hope they get more power to help push Bibi out and install a more moderate Zionist who doesn't send the IDF to get killed for land only the Settlers want? But I don't think you'd support them if it meant that say, they got enough power to force Israel to do something about the illegal settlements. Or even, got enough power to force them to do \*nothing\* about them, withdrawing IDF and Israeli police protection for them while they go about their violent activities in the West Bank.

Yes, I do want them to push Bibi out using the moderate center and left wing, the same way they pushed Bibi out in 2021. It would've been much better had they formed a singular party to get more votes, and not get some of them discarded due to thresholds and vote trading agreements (like Meretz not passing threshold in 2022 allowing Bibi to ascend because the left literally lost three seats because of this shit) Why do you think I'm lying?

Exactly. You want them to get enough power to push out the extremely popular (He's been PM for 25 years, about a quarter of the county's existence. You don't get to be such a prominent figure for decades without deep support.) PM but not enough to do things they might actually want to do. It's a cynical, tactical kind of support that will evaporate as soon as someone you like better is in office or they get too powerful and then you'd side with Bibi against them.

I think one big difference a lot of people fail to grasp comparing this to previous US middle east incursions is that the IRGC is the ruling government, not an insurrection group. In order to dismantle an insurrectionist group a ground invasion would absolutely be required, but a formal government, especially one that only has support from maybe 40% of the population, needs proper infrastructure and institutions. They will never be able to destroy the IRGC, but if I had to guess the US/Israeli plan is to destroy all infrastructure and force them into a survival mode like those insurrection groups were, where best case for the IRGC they retain power, but have to spend years rebuilding and winning back legitimacy in the country, let alone rebuilding their regional proxy network.

Note that the Soviet Invasion is often considered an equal or even larger factor in their surrender than the bomb(s). It's just a theory of mine, but my guess is that much of Japanese leadership basically couldn't even conceive of the bomb, especially within a couple of days of it being dropped. Would be very hard to spend years on strategy, then have the whole game changed before your eyes. Easier to understand a huge new army that just knocked out your key ally has joined the fray, and is sweeping through Manchuria and you have no way of stopping them. That said, the bomb(s) alone may have been enough, especially after they had time to assess the damage and discover the whole radiation thing.

>Note that the Soviet Invasion is often considered an equal or even larger factor in their surrender than the bomb(s). Japanese meeting minutes and diplomatic cables don't indicate this. The shock that people often cite is Japan's shock of the Soviet entering when they were diplomatically using the USSR as a mediator with the remaining United Nations. They felt like they were led on about the reality of the talks because the USSR was planning to invade when Japan approached them for mediation. By the time of Japanese surrender, Japan was already trying to conditionally surrender which was rejected by the United Nations. At this point Japan was undergoing a famine due to food shortages, its merchant fleet was gone, and most of its cities were subject to consistent aerial bombing campaigns. The atomic bombings provided enough of a means for the Emperor to intervene against the War Cabinet which was deadlocked into conditional surrender vs unconditional surrender.

Bombing campaigns are seldom effective in forcing capitulation. Even in Gaza, a tiny strip of land with no meaningful air defense Israel had to invade with its troops. Iran is a very large country, it is very unlikely that the US would be able to achieve it by bombing alone. It didn’t work in the blitz, didn’t work on Vietnam, and it probably won’t work here either. Now the USA is in quite a predicament, either they accept the war as a failure, sustain the bombing campaign for an indeterminate amount of time, or they escalate with a land invasion. Diplomacy is off the table, and hardware cost in the gulf is getting very expensive… my guess is either Trump TACOs out of the war, or land invasion.

Problem is, what does TACOing out means for this conflict?

I think it might be like the Houthis, technically there was no deal, but both sides silently deescalated. Iran get hurt just as much from the strait being closed, if a chance appears for them to deescalate without having to make any concessions I bet they would take it. Trump can claim tactical victory for taking out Khamenei (and probably claim he destroyed Iran’s nuclear program again), Iran can claim strategic victory for successfully repelling the invasion, and things slowly go back to normal. Of course, this would objectively be a significant defeat for the USA, as it would show everyone else how far they would be willing to go.

You never truly know (especially with T2) and this might just be my optimistic side talking, but I have my doubts Trump will actually commit to any large ground invasion.

For BOTH sides, but one side is prepared and willing to suffer one to defend their homeland and the other doesn't want a bloodbath of their soldiers, isn't ready for one and doesn't even know WHY they're getting into one.

“Second Vietnam” might be a bit much, Trump would likely just turn tail and run as soon as America meets resistance. I can’t see him investing himself in <2 year conflict. There’s also the internal Iranian opposition that have to be kept in mind to an extent, sure Iranians are not happy with America and Israel now for obvious reasons, but Iranian government didn’t exactly ingratiate themselves with their people during their extremely brutal crackdowns in January. Not sure how that stuff will actually pan out, but they could be a serious player if they arm themselves and/or some ambitious Artesh commanders decide to jump ship. This is wild speculation and prolly just some liberal hopium from me. Trump and Bibi will prolly find a way to fuck it up though, as much as I like to stay optimistic.

The “dissident” (cuz fuck the actual gov of Iran) movement would become like the South Viet government. USA would set up a “capital” in whichever city was furthest behind the line and then foment civil war as a combat strategy. Absolutely won’t be “Vietnam 2.0” strictly speaking but the parallels would be horrific.

It'll be worse than Vietnam, if it ever came close to reaching that point. Which it won't. Americans have grown lax and lazy but this is a different era than the 60's, tens of thousands of bodies coming home in a 'whatever war' isn't going to fly.

The Iranian opposition has no organization to speak of, are also on the receiving end of Israeli air strikes, and the government now has grounds to consider them collaborators with the enemy if they do come out against the state. I really don't see them being much of a factor. Best thing they can do right now is keep their heads down.

Trump can’t turn tail and run though.  His brand and image is built on “strong man”.  This war has fractured MAGA. There are supporters and those who are utterly dismayed at his betrayal. Turning tail and running ironically loses even more support. Because now, on top of everything, he’s a coward too. And there would be no PR spinning that one.  The second Vietnam is an apt comparison because the Iranians are prepared and deeply ready to engage in asymmetric warfare. That’s all they’ve trained for. It’s apt because this may be the most challenging terrain the U.S. has ever had to fight on since Vietnam - except it’s also HUGE.  Iran is built like a natural fortress with the exact type of terrain the U.S. struggled so much with in Afghanistan. And fighting a fiercely anti-American native fighting force like the NV and VC.  Killing the Ayatollah was the exact wrong move, because for as much as Iranians hated their current regime, that was kind of a lightening rod moment. This culture believes in martyrdom and the U.S. gave them one almost immediately. Instead of causing chaos and a power vacuum, what you saw in Iran was telling: they didn’t panic. The didn’t fall into chaos. Millions came out on the streets - not for regime change but to mourn the death of the Ayatollah. And not just in Iran. That took place in other countries too. Most importantly, Iran remain focused and the fight waned a little but they’re still fighting hard.  They’ve drained BILLIONS out of the Americans and it hasn’t even been a full week.  I think Vietnam is an apt comparison until we fully understand how long this is going for.

Well, then that’s interesting because without committing to boots on the ground, the U.S. just lost all its leverage in any nuclear treaty with Iran. With a prolonged conflict, the U.S. will need to put boots on the ground. The air strikes are not doing anything. Iran is still striking everyone on the board.  If they find an off-ramp, any logical regime now sees nuclear deterrence as the only option. If I’m Iran, I just watched the entire world either watch me get jumped at the negotiating table of “international laws and rules based order” and nobody helped, in fact many helped jump me.  So …. Fuck the rules based order. Fuck my neighbors. Fuck everyone. Security and continuity is the upmost rationale and they have every valid reason to now pursue nukes at breakneck speeds - and I bet you something. Once they have them, their America and Israel problems are over. They won’t fuck with them anymore.

Iran is a fortress that is assisting its own siege by closing hormuz and now is begging for a ground war as though there is some benefit to repeating Iraq
View on Reddit #80053643

A_Hugh_Man@reddit

There is a benefit for them: it helps them retain their image and control over the country by punishing the U.S. and its allies.  Them fighting the U.S. is the best thing that can happen to the current regime. Surrendering like the Venezuelans is the worst thing - especially in a place like Iran. THAT would cause a power vacuum and civil war type situation.  Fighting the Americans is 1. What they’re prepared for for decades 2. What all the warring factions in charge support and 3. Hurts the Americans and the Israelis. 4. By closing Hormuz, they lose nothing and gain everything because they weren’t going to be trading normally anyway! Lol and also because they get to sell this image domestically of “look at us flex over all these enemies”. That is going to sell great internally and that sort of image and messaging is what gives fuel to guerrilla movements.  The Iranians scored a huge W early on with how they managed this war in the first 7 days: they didn’t panic, they remained focused, they hit NUMEROUS US assets causing BILLIONS in damage. They closed Hormuz. They rejected Trump’s ceasefire. They are bombing the shit out of Tel Aviv. They took the loss of the Ayatollah on the chin. They challenged the U.S. to enter.  They’ve given all the fuel and ammo to retain control. The decapitation strategy of the Israelis and Americans failed (the regime change window is likely completely gone now) and now the entire world is seeing that both Israel and the U.S. are scared to enter the country and do what they claimed they wanted to do. This is going to inspire and fuel local resistance. And they demonstrated to their people that they have the legitimacy to do so.  This is how you lose a war. You lose the plot. Unfortunately, it seems like the American leadership didn’t bother making a plot to begin with.

No. Afghanistan was a shitshow, a quagmire, a boondoggle, a lost cause, a defeat… it was a lot of things.  But it wasn’t Vietnam.  Vietnam was unique because it killed A LOT of Americans.

It was a generational disaster.  Like ukraine is to Russia.

The problem with this one is that he’s backing himself into a corner. Rubio fucked up and basically admitted we got dragged into this by Israel.  That made Trump look bad. It made him look like he’s not in control. For Trump, that’s absolutely not tolerable. His whole brand is strong man.  Additionally, all reports seem to suggest that he tried to take an offramp with Iran and Iran told him to go to hell. Also can’t have that for the strong man.  So now he’s in a hell of a situation. He has to find an off-ramp that lets him save face and appear in control AND look like a winner, which is hard at this point… OR go all in and project this image of strength kind of like somebody else we know: Putin.  Both Trump and Putin committed the same mistake. They bit off more than they can chew and their “strong man” image prevents them from taking any options that show weakness.

The US took out Maduro but left his regime in place who agreed to negotiate. Assad had to flee Syria and even though the new leader was a jihadist he’s negotiating with Israel and working toward a security agreement. The US has taken out the top leadership of Iran and while it would love regime change if things shake out that way (and will happily arm rebels), it will settle for negotiating with the secondary and tertiary leaders of the current regime.

It makes no sense to ever negotiate with the USA or Israel again. Both countries have made it clear they'll never honor any agreement. They'll violate any ceasefire the second it becomes inconvenient to them. Except in the case of Israel, they won't abide by any terms for a single minute anyway. Any "ceasefire" with Israel only applies to the other party to the agreement.

After Gavrillo Princep assassinated Franz Ferdinand, it created a crisis historians called the ["July Crisis"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_Crisis).

This looks awful alot like a room full of cocaine made the decision to "Alpha-male" the shit, without much of strategic planning. The famous "drunk-1am all in at the casino".
