The reason that every other US president has ruled out war with Iran is exactly because of this tactic. It takes a group of really ignorant, egotistical, and foolhardy leaders to melt through the layers of decision making that underlie such a course of action.

The more Trump screams on social media and Hegseth bully pulpits while whining about media coverage, the worse this war is going. Look for more avoidable Air Force and Navy incidents, more dead American soldiers, and a civilian bloodbath that will take decades to unravel the implications of.

So the middle east countries paid top dollar to get the US 'president' to do all the things they wanted, and he ended up screwing every single one of them. When you get in bed with trump, he will eventually shit the bed, and you will have to lie in it with him. You deserve the stupid choice you made.

Those countries have been directly funding Donald Trump and are all littered with American bases. They are absolutely involved.

Maybe stop allowing America to use your country as bases to terrorize and control your neighbors?

They should make the pertinent conclusion that US bases don't protect them, that US is only standing by Israel.

I hate to say this but as a former US military officer I am 100% behind Iran. The Mango Mussolini started Operation Epstein Fury as a distraction and the buzzards need to come home to roost. I am sorry people are getting killed but Iran is not going to stop now that their leader and 180 little girls have been killed.

You lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

If you don't like being a target, get the US bases out.

As someone who grew up in Dubai I want to tell them to go fuck themselves. They made their bed, now sleep on it.

Are the Europeans learning the lesson?

Protection for Petro dollar oil dies here. Trump is destroying American dominance on the world stage, it's wild to see.

Petro dollar is worthless.

How are the bribes to the child rapist paying out? I see you are recieving bombs in exchange to the "payments" you made to Mango Hitler. I suppose it was the expected result? Bombs for money, isn't it?

Good. You need to keep getting bombs.

Australia needs to cancel our leases of American bases in Australia. Even if you think we should be aligned with the US only having Australian bases on Australian soil is in our best interests. This war has shown that any host country of American bases will be subject to attacks not only on those bases but on the host country's own military and civilian infrastructure.

Yanks out!

Seriously tho 🤣 Iran bombed the fuck out of them and now they can’t sell oil. Sorry I can’t find my compassion for the petrostate dictators. May they lose all their ill gotten gains.

The Gulf states and the Saudis didn't start the war, but they have long been lobbying for an attack on Iran. They just didn't want their military personnel in the line of fire. They're either useless or, in the case of Saudi, too busy committing genocide against Yemenis.

I think Trump's best course of action is to take the loss, pull out and try to sell it as a "mission accomplished" at home, which might just work for the redhats.

Then he still has to hope that the mullahs take the win and leave it at that, not trying to avenge the old Khameini any further.

And he still has to hope that he hasn't permanently damaged the alliances with the Gulf states.

And he still has to hope that the economic chaos he's started doesn't escalate and it doesn't take too long to return to normal.

Etc.

I.e. the US is very likely fucked in the long term. But all other options seem even worse.

had diplomatically tried to prevent.

Saudi Arabia: Yeah right...

Let me cry crocodile tears and play the worlds smallest violin for the poor lil ole petrol states

Did they thank the orange felon/rapist/liar though?

As a thought exercise, I was considering what the other countries in the middle east could have done to avoid this conflict.

I ended up with nothing reliable. They did not have sufficient power to address the problems in the Iranian regime. And even if they could, the US would likely just be attacking the next state on Israel's hit list and cause similar problems.

The only thing that might have gotten close, is to outspend the Zionists in their interference in US politics.

This is what happens when you outsource defence to a nation that has never acted altruisticly towards an ally (except Israel).

This is possibly the one thing that will get Cheeto to pay attention. OPEC oil boys getting mad

KSA: "Yeah I defnitley didn't do nothing just like Israel over there. I don't even know what an Iran is"

Whole world suffering because Americans can't handle their pedophiles.

We're never going to be respected like before. We're never going to have the same soft power.

Thanks conservatives.
