Well, that's disappointing. Since the objective has not been reached, I'm going to have to consider this an Iran win and a US capitulation if the cease-fire holds.
There is still an ayatollah drawing breath. Loss. Mission failure.
The IRGC is still in existence. Loss. Mission failure.
The Basij is still in existence. Loss. Mission failure.
The Iranian people are still not free. Loss. Mission failure.
The "help" that Trump promised the Iranians was "on the way" didn't get the job done.
So, the US appears to have taken anther ass-whoopin'. Why bother fighting at all if you're just gonna cave the first time the enemy tries to bring a little pain on you? I don't play that crap personally. if something is important enough for me to fight over, I'm either going to win or die trying. If it's not important enough to win or die for, I just stay home.
Maybe Trump needs to take that philosophy too, and just stay the fuck home. Doing nothing at all is preferable to talkin' big shit and then just wussing out and packing an ass-whoopin'.
How many times are we going to have to "destroy" their nuclear program before it's dented enough that we don't have to go "destroy" it all over again in just a few months? Forgive me if I don't believe Vance when he claims "destruction" of their nuclear program... because I've heard that shit before. if it wasn't true then, I have no reason to believe it to be true now.
