According to Robert Kagan in The Atlantic, the U.S. and Israel may have bombed Iran and destroyed the bulk of its military, but the war will not end with a triumphant or rousing victory. Even with much of the country’s leadership dead, the regime hasn’t collapsed. The Strait of Hormuz will no longer be “open” as it once was, and Iran now has more power over global trade. Plus, Iranian allies China and Russia have seen their positions on the world stage strengthened, whereas the United States’ reputation has been “substantially diminished.”

The Atlantic???? LMFAO
 
Ntanyahoo was interviewed this weekend. He said he was ruminating on going into Iran to confiscate its nuclear material. He said Trump was all for it, implying that he kept it from happening.

This makes you wonder who's really in charge.

I love that Trump has driven you so bat shit crazy that you are getting into bed with neocons like Robert Kagan.

I don't trust anyone who got into bed with Hillary Clinton.

The Atlantic? Find a more credible source.

PS. I figured I would try out the left wing tactic of demeaning the source :)

Iran can out-wait Trump, because their regime is firmly ensconced whereas Trump is desperate for an off ramp because of his collapsing poll numbers and surging gasoline prices.

Previous presidents obviously had the intelligence to know launching a war of choice against Iran had quagmire written all over it.
 
Iran can out-wait Trump,
At this point, Iran's economy is in shambles.

Trump couldn't care less about his poll numbers.

Previous presidents put their fingers in their ears when the word 'Iran" came up, OR they thought filling a plane full of our cash and dropping it off would solve the problem.
