War with Islam is a long term war.

The end desired is the overthrow of the regime by the people of Iran. If it had been merely to crush Iran , power plants and infrastructure would be smoldering ruins right now.

Strange how history repeats itself. The civilized world fought the demons before in the Christian Crusades but didn’t finish the job and now the task is even more overwhelming because they have returned and proliferated all over the world. What does that mean on the scale of evil versus good?

It started out fine then it started dragging out into what could be another forever war. However this one involves Trump so all bets are off. He intentionally makes himself less predictable.

I don’t care who’s saying it, its kind of obvious that’s exactly what’s happening.

This war is becoming an unmitigated disaster. It’s the most unpopular war since polling began. Iran will wind up controlling the Persian Gulf and there’s nothing we can do about it. Even worse will be the loss of the petrodollar. Our bases in the region have been destroyed and it’s unlikely most of them will be rebuilt. Sending in ground troops will be catastrophic but Trump will do it anyway because his ego won’t accept losing but we are gonna lose anyway. It will be a major embarrassment for the US. Trump is making Jimmy Carter look like a geopolitical master. Inflation will kick in around the time of the midterms and the Dems will sweep the elections maybe even take the Senate. Best prepare yourself because everything is about crumble beyond what anyone suspects.

47 years and we’re finally taking some action to end this forever war. Kill ‘em all.

Oh no! We’ve been fighting and treating with Iran for almost four months!

“Forever war” says the LA Times. They must love and support our country and the President to offer such strategic military advice. All leftist/communist media is lining up to offer guidance to President Trump.

What Patriots they must be? They must love the United States! And President Trump.

/sarcasm off

Not to mention Iran’s military has been “obliterated” several times now and they’re still fighting. Whoever is running foreign policy in the White House House should resign.

I’m inclined to lean towards Victor Davis Hanson’s analysis of what’s going on as opposed to the LA Times. As brilliant as the writers at the LA Times are

The Left only hopes. In fact, many are openly rooting for the IRGC.

Minimum objective: no nukes.

Ideal objective: limit Iran's force projection into Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Nigeria.

Hopefully, we can achieve the minimal objective without resorting to draconian measures.

If necessary, we can achieve the minimum objective even without a negotiated peace, but this will be extremely ugly and take some time.

Ever notice how the MSM was slobbering all over the Ukraine war, 100% lockstep, foaming at the mouth with every escalation of this war, how after 4.5 years all we hear is victory stories even though the Russians have attained both their military and political objectives?

Is the MSM really under the belief that Iran who has been killing our people since 1979 (hostages), 1983 Marine Corps barracks bombing in Beirut, providing intel and material assistance to insurgents and militias in Iraq killing our forces, backing the Houti’s, Nigerian militias, Hezbollah in Lebanon is better than Russia?

Why this difference in reporting?

Why is our media far more critical compared to Ukraine in how the war is executed, if we are achieving our goals, the collateral damage, why is suddenly every casualty or loss on our side highlighted, suddenly 5 months for Iran in an air campaign is a forever war, but 4.5 YEARS in a ground war costing tens of thousands of lives often per month didn't matter?

Could it be, that it makes a difference that a Republican, and an unapologetic conservative, a white male macho / leader type that isn't gay, is in office today?

It will be a forever war if he keeps fighting it this way.

Just keep killing all the would dictators and destroy all the military targets and arm the Kurt’s and and other opposition. They know who the supporters of the current regime and kill them. I think Trump thinks he can negotiate with this regime. He should look at how not successful with democrats as a gauge.
