Trump has admitted defeat on Iran war after historic blunder

[UpInArms]

The Iran "deal" is a tacit admission of strategic defeat by the Trump administration and of a failure to achieve nearly all of his war aims.

The US and Iran have agreed to stop fighting and to open the Strait of Hormuz. Everything else is being kicked down the road over 60 days of ceasefire and beyond.

… snip …

After a war that has cost an estimated $30bn, killed thousands and destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of US military hardware, have any of Trump's declared objectives been fulfilled?

Five big nos

… huge snip …

It has cost America's standing in the world dearly and left Iran potentially stronger.

It will go down as one of the greatest strategic blunders in US history.

1. But it wasn't a strategic blunder.

It was a fit of ignorance and ego. No strategy involved.

2. Or an intentional depletion of US weapons ...

And the treasury raiding to replenish them leaving us defenseless in the coming years. Four to five years or more before any of this is possible. Pretty sure some in our government consider this a success.

3. A "strategic blunder" Trump, Miller, and Hog's Breath made in order to distract from Epstein.

4. Are you kidding? West Point, Annapolis, etc. will be teaching this

"episode" for decades to cadets, likely monikered "Trump's Folly", as what NOT to do.

5. Tje Trump regime is hoping voters' attention spans are too short to notice that there never was, nor will there be,

any improvement over the treaty that Obama obtained. In fact, things are a great deal worse than they were under Obama. the Israeli government hated Obama and his deal, and persuade Trump to join them in a military attack on Iran, with disastrous results.

6. Trump Is T.I.P.
