The Iran Surrender: The most powerful country in the world with the most powerful military in the world by far - has effectively lost a war to a dangerously extreme opponent of mediocre military strength - based on lack of forethought, poor leadership, and impulsive, self-centered decision-making. In short, we lost this war because we're led by a lame duck malignant narcissist in decline.
Our unaccountable leaders, who live beyond the law, never explained the goal of the strike to begin with, beyond the pathological exertion of grandiosity. But no matter what you surmise it was, it failed to achieve it.
The Iranian regime will remain intact. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard will remain intact. The Strait of Hormuz will remain under threat. There will be no acquiescence to human rights improvements. There will be no acquiescence to ending state sponsorship of terror. There will be no surrendering of enriched uranium. Any commitment to avoid nuclear weaponry will be verbal without enforcement we had from the Obama deal. Sanctions will be lifted. Assets will be unfrozen. For all the reduction to its standard naval capacity, its drone army and missile stocks remain significant.
Many hundreds of billions of dollars of value have been squandered, markets have been rattled, US soldiers have been killed, innocent Iranian schoolchildren were blown up, all of America has higher gas costs, all our allies are shaking their heads in wonderment over the lunacy and incompetence of it all, and all the Gulf states have felt pain.
The text is incomplete, hidden, and/or obfuscated.
All the Trump administration has to rely on - is what they always have - propaganda outreach spoken with volume and repetition, and an emotionalized audience who view the propaganda thru a reflexive demonizing of democrats and amid a thick vapor of dopamine.
Incompetence and inhumanity at the top. Again.
