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.

"This war is becoming an unmitigated disaster."

I disagree, sir. Our bombing is extremely precise so as not to hurt non combatants.

President Trump is very carefully teaching a lesson to the military and religious authorities in Iran.

He's the first president in almost 50 years that is bombing Iranian leadership to make them comply and enter the global free market of trade. When this is done, the Iranian people will have water, food, and electricity. Opportunity.

“ Trump is making Jimmy Carter look like a geopolitical master.”

I think that comparison is more than tad overstated! Who next, Obama?
