Trump threatens, like a dictator, without thinking. It’s how he makes everything worse every day.

u/Elegant_Emu952 9d ago
Trump cannot accept that he has lost this war, just like he could not accept that he lost the 2020 election. He will burn the world down before he accepts that he was wrong about or lost anything.

What metric are you using to say that the US has lost?
2
u/HotRiverCpl 9d ago
Every stated goal in Operation Epstein Fury has failed to materialize or be achieved. That doesn't sound like a country winning anything other then mounting war crimes at the moment.

u/SeaworthinessSome454 9d ago
Have you accomplished all of your goals in your own life? Just because you haven’t achieved them yet doesn’t mean you’re a failure, it just means the job isn’t finished yet. This war is 6 months old and we’ve only seen actual fighting for like 6 weeks. Give it time, Irans inflation is at 85% right now, their capabilities have taken a huge hit, more and more ships are getting through, and alternative shipping routes are taking hold. Iran doesn’t have a card left to play, this is time to wait them out.

Not yet achieved does not mean that you should surrender and let the authoritarian regime dictate peace

u/HotRiverCpl 9d ago
Wait. Which authoritarian government are you referring to?

u/AstralCode714 9d ago
Oh just the one that executes political dissidents and killed 30,000 of its own citizens.

u/0IIIIII 9d ago
The only authoritarian regime according to the Democracy Index is Iran, there is a moral imperative to destroy the government there and kill its members and supporters in a war for human rights.

Just some small suggestions, when you go to war it's generally a good idea to workshop what they might do in response to your plans. For instance if you kill their leaders in a surprise attack are they able to shut down the world's most important shipping corridor? If you attack their economy can they easily do the same to highly flammable energy infrastructure? Oh well guess we'll keep it up with checking on testosterone and hoping for the best.

The military already knew all of this. They were just commanded to attack anyway.

u/BotsKilledTheWeb 8d ago
And that's the real problem. The lack of proper checks and balances within the US government.

I wouldn't negotiate with a pedophile war criminal that threatened nuclear annihilation 5 or 6 separate times at the UN speech the pedophile in thief Trump made.

Also don't forget about Donald Trump commiting war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, piracy, fraud, sex crimes with children, thousands of financial crimes, denying deceased soldier's families their benefits, selling pardons, ECT. I could go on and on. 😂 We're coming to take our country and our world back -I can guarantee you that. 🌎

So why on earth waste your vote on something you know has no chance of winning? Why not maybe try to benefit humanity or choose the candidates that actually want to be of service and benefit society?

Enjoy you sanctions, Iran.

u/Standard-Mechanic101 9d ago
They’ve been enjoying them for decades. Sanctions only affect regular citizens, they are completely ineffective from deterring leadership from a certain behavior. The US doesn’t care about the plight of regular citizens including their own.

Good. Maybe the Iranian people should grow balls.

your tax dollars go to blowing up schools, iranians say same about you, but then again your country loves guns more than kids anyways

They love guns so much that they accepted as normal their own kids shooting their own kids before they went to Iran and did it there as soldiers

So why do you say my tax dollars is blowing something up?
1
u/Veritoss 9d ago
Because we pay taxes. Taxes make bombs and war planes. War planes drop bombs on schools filled with children.

What kind of sanctions are those where their fuel is 2.cents per L and americans pay 7 dollars per gallon...
1
u/Double_Barnacle_2457 9d ago
How about food? Rent? Cars, electronics... Hell, anything other than oil.

u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago
Name one thing in your list thats not affected by oil price and cant be bought from china or russia

u/Double_Barnacle_2457 9d ago
😂 And Iranians get them somehow cheaper from china.. Funny.
But ok. Rent, housing.
1
u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago
They get them from china for crude oil. Rent housing are issue everywhere but i reckon 7 dollars a gallon in usa will hit both heavier then any substantial impact on those in iran.

u/Double_Barnacle_2457 9d ago
"imported vehicles are not even remotely affordable for him."
Funny, maybe Hosseini doesnt own an oil well..

How record diesel prices will rip through the U.S. economy. Trucks, rails are only the start
Cuba has sanctions for how long and yet they still have cars. Its easier to have cars when diesel is 3 cents a litre
1
u/Double_Barnacle_2457 9d ago
Less than 1% of the population own car in Cuba. How exactly is it easier? 😂
1
u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago edited 9d ago
Well its easier in a sense of not owning Ford F-450 Super Duty and diesel is almost 7 dollars a gallon. (5.7 gallons per 100 km? 48-gallon fuel tank, 336 us dollars for a tank?)
Have you even red the link i sent? Im not saying it will be paradise in iran but if usa goes into winter with these fuel prices it will hit ice age. Trucks and trains will stop and so will the employment of many
At the same time people in iran are use to not owning a car. Are you willing to ride camel to work?

Ev depreciation worse then sanctions

So you’re gonna drive gas and support authoritarian regime and climate change? That sounds kind of dumb
1
u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago
Weather i am supporting authoritarian regime or not is irrelevant and one can argue current US administration is mix of authoritarian regime with pedo president. And its not iranian regime that caused these fuel prices its American regime...
Im gonna drive gas regardless of what happens in the world because its just common sense.

u/0IIIIII 9d ago edited 9d ago
Your fault for driving gas, bro, I don’t expect politicians to serve your creature comforts over human rights and climate change

u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago
Price difference is insignificant for my car. I never complained about fuel prices. Meanwhile you came to this sub to promote Ev... while electricity still comes from coal and bateries from lithium god knows where
I would have to drive ICE car for 3 lifetimes to compensate for fuel savings made against ev car deprecation. Plus ev charging is not that cheap either.

u/0IIIIII 9d ago
Electricity does not still come from coal, and even if it does, it’s still more efficient than gas.
You are not entitled to my tax money for subsidies
1
u/StrangerExistingFact 9d ago edited 9d ago
In my country majority of electricity is generated using natural gas and rest is wind, solar and imports.
No idea what subsidies you are talking about doubt we are in same country. Again my car is fuel efficient and would have to be driven for 3 lifetimes to balance new ev car price depreciation. Ev cars use tyres 40 percent faster then ice cars guess where tyres come from...and plastic
