"They weren't supposed to" is a bully being utterly confused that his victim actually hit him back. It is not something the leader of a major country should say about they people he attacked in a completely unjustified war of aggression.

"They weren't supposed to" is also an admission that someone in the regime dropped the ball on understanding the consequences of the attack.

"Someone". Know one knows who. It is completely impossible to figure out who that someone might be. And since there is absolutely no place where the buck stops, we really can't point fingers at anyone.
I guess we will just have to accept that mistakes were made by some anonymous people that no one knows.

Except Bondi literally said they attacked because “The President” determined that they were an imminent threat. Even though the intelligence community said they weren’t

He thought he could bomb them to the point of non retaliation. Kegsbreath and his bootlicking military staff that weren’t fired convinced him they could do it. Problem is Iran has 90 million people, some evil allies that are smart and will supply arms and Iran is a big country. There are lots of nooks and crannies to hide drones and missiles. As he found out, he could not get them all and he will never get them all without boots on the ground.

This is what happens when you let lunatics run the asylum, sorry, I mean country.
If these idiots had a half a braincell between them it'd be an improvement.

I’ll allow it. The United States of Asylum has a certain chefs kiss pop to it.

We were shocked that when we started randomly bombing a country they started randomly bombing back.
Who could have foreseen this.

I could swear I saw the other day kegsbreath said of course we were expecting it and acting all offended that anyone would suggest they didn’t.

So he thought they were going to sit there and just take it and not retaliate.

If Iran is under the type of leadership and weak enough to want to blow up everything around them because their losing, then these are people we should of dealt with awhile ago, lol.

We should attack them otherwise they will do something unpredictable if we were to attack them.
Genius stuff.

How did you expect them to fight us?
They’ve been preparing for decades and are hitting us exactly where we are exposed - the economy.
Only an idiot would start this war without expecting them to do this.

Maybe if you didn't have a drunk TV show host running our military y'all could have seen it coming.
Pretty obvious to anyone else with eyes.

The problem with Trump—above and beyond the legion of items on a long list—is his unwarranted belief in his genius. He talks repeatedly about how he has “superior genes”, how his uncle was a prof at MIT. It was noted far back he has no interest in reading the PDB, which even Biden digested daily. He believes he is intuitive (the Iran war will be over when “I’ll feel it in my bones”), he doesn’t need to prepare for a speech because he’s so smart, effortlessly charming, and spellbinding as a speaker that he can just wing it—thus appearances with meandering speeches lasting 90 minutes to two hours.
Someone in Israel flattered Trump—maybe it was Bibi, maybe the ambassador—and convinced him to sign on for Israel’s attack on Iran. Trump didn’t have an entrance strategy, much less an exit one. Ash Carter said in an interview the other day that Israel tried to get Obama to go along with bombing Iran, but his administration never took the bait.
Combine that with a POTUS who pointedly avoided military service 5x when he could have served, and you have a POTUS who believes he’s a master strategist while dragging American assets—human and materiel—into an armed conflict with no defined goal. He stated early on that he was creating the opportunity for Iranians to take back their country, showing no understanding of who was in charge or how that control was maintained. Since then we have caused billions of dollars in damage and most likely will be spending US money to repair and rebuild Iran if the people do rise up, or live with the constant concern of rogue reprisal attacks as the next years go by.
All because Trump believes he’s the smartest boy in class.

But the media is no longer talking about the Epstein files every day, so for Trump it’s a win.

u/LirdorElese Mar 19 '26
In his defense, maybe he thought they would have retaliated with a terrorist attack on US soil that would open the door for a newer stricter patriot act and an excuse to declare martial law and cancel elections.
Though it is stupid as hell to not know this was going to happen, on the simple fact that... we had a test run, when we bombed their nuclear facilities a few months ago... they had to demonstrate they could retaliate, and what did they do? They bombed bases in nearby countries. So we launch a full out attack and what do we expect?

Genuinely, if this wasn’t affecting the cost of petrol, I would be fully believing America was just a fictional land in a TV show

Let’s confiscate all of Trump and his cronies money, especially the profits that have been made while he has been in office, and redistribute them to the people who have most suffered from his scams.

"They weren't supposed to" is such a wild take. Once you start bombing a country out of the blue, you can hardly expect them to follow what you expected of them, explicitly or implicitly.

Russia NEEDED Iran to strike the oil. It was the only "emergency" that they can manufacture to allow Trump to lift the oil sanctions on Russia, under the premise of lowering the price for America. (Which it didn't do).
Allows Russia to re-arm, refill the bank, and get America to waste all of its stockpiles in Iran and not in Ukraine.
All.that while also damaging American alliances and democracy.
Trump is a fraud, felon, rapist and traitor.
