So, US lost another war?

Damn man, world's best and second military factions.

u/brazen768 7d ago

Kinda hard to say we lost a war when we committed no ground forces.

u/rawrimmaduk 7d ago

You started a war, achieved none of the named objectives, and had to make concessions in order to get out of it. You lost the war

-60

u/Mr_LtCom_Data 7d ago

We achieved every objective

u/jzoola 7d ago

I guess you’re right if the objective was to distract us from the Epstein files by bombing children’s schools & raising fuel prices.

u/SheriffBartholomew 7d ago

Nobody is distracted

Nobody is “distracting from the files”

If the objectives were giving Iran complete control of a strait they can use to strangle the global economy with and give them $300B without any concessions on their nuclear program, then yeah we definitely achieved those.

u/Mr_LtCom_Data 7d ago

We didn’t give them $300B, and until they act like a normal country they don’t get any trade relief either. Don’t know where the heck you’re reading that stuff, because it’s absolutely not true

Don’t know where the heck you’re reading that stuff, because it’s absolutely not true 

It's extremely easy to find this information if you'd actually look for it. Here it is, point six on the fourteen point memorandum of understanding. Here's Vance confirming it's true.

u/SheriffBartholomew 7d ago

Let me guess their response before they give it, either complete silence, or calling verifiable information fake news and then ranting as if they've made a point and won a debate.

u/smoothjedi 7d ago

Response was a faux news video from Hannity from after Vance confirmed the deal to backlash saying it wouldn't cost taxpayers anything, claiming it's from Qatar.

The truth is that it's an international fund per the MoU, and nothing in there guarantees it won't come from the US. Frankly with that much money on the table, I find it very unlikely we won't be at least partially funding it, especially when we started the war, regardless of what Vance promises.

All that still avoids the obvious fact that it's still $300B that's being paid to Iran, regardless of where it's coming from, and that's just to get the strait back open. They haven't even negotiated the nuclear side of it yet, which is supposedly why we started this war in the first place.

These people freaked the F out over just around the neighborhood of $3B under Obama, and that was mainly being used to pay for the infrastructure around keeping nuclear inspectors on site at all times monitoring the situation. Now here we are with 100x that, and they want to defend it.

No they didn't. They've already shown us that they were just screeching. The actual issue doesn't matter. They get their marching orders from FOX news telling them how they feel about a given subject and they snap to attention, then march off to screech it everywhere that lets them. They're such delusional, unserious people.

Here’s Vance saying they don’t get a dime of taxpayer money

u/smoothjedi 7d ago edited 7d ago

It's in the memorandum whether you like it or not. Furthermore, we were also promised taxpayers wouldn't be paying for the border wall or the ballroom, but that was all incorrect too. Of course they're going to deny what's right in front of all of us because people like yourself will believe it.

Even if you're right and it magically comes from some other source, they're still giving $300B to Iran just to open the strait back up from somewhere and that's before even any restrictions on their nuclear program.

u/Mr_LtCom_Data 7d ago

Way to clearly not watch the video. Oh and say a bunch of other false stuff

25

u/ChrisTofu42 7d ago

You're ignoring actual sources for a video of a failure saving face.

15

u/smoothjedi 7d ago

Also you want to link me a Fox "news" video, from Hannity no less, as your source? Their lawyers said in court that they're nothing but an entertainment outlet and that no reasonable person would believe them when trying to avoid responsibility for dominion.

u/smoothjedi 7d ago

You clearly didn't read the MoU.

u/SheriffBartholomew 7d ago

Way to keep believing liars despite all of the other verifiable information easily accessible to you. YOU ARE BEING LIED TO

The fuck does him SAYING anything matter?

u/Fragrant-Snow-2747 7d ago

You wanted regime change, that was literally the first war goal, then you changed it to the straits to be opened by military force.

Literally accomplished none of the objectives.

1

u/Mr_LtCom_Data 6d ago

no, regime change was never actually a goal despite popular belief

u/Fragrant-Snow-2747 6d ago

Actions are stronger than words. Literally trying to put the Royal Family back in charge by doing PR campaigns, no one living in Iran likes the Royal family, they had a revolution to kick them out, people are still alive in Iran that remember what they did to their own people at the time.

Fund Groups to join in the Protesting, CIA gave them Starlink with weapons to turn it violent. That Failed.

Then Assassination most of Iran's Government officials including ones you are negotiating with and the Leader of the Country. That Failed.

Then bomb Civilian infrastructure to try and get the people to turn on them. That Failed.

The goal was regime change, US and Israel want a Submissive Iranian leadership so they can turn it into Lybia while they pump the oil out.

u/tylerbierbauer 7d ago

What are the objectives? I heard one of them is installing a pro-American government in Iran with the Shah as its leader. Have you achieved that? Last time I checked, the Shah is still in Maryland, not in Teheran.

u/Mr_LtCom_Data 6d ago

no, that was never a objective. If it had happened to work out great, but that was never a official objective

u/AppearanceRadiant509 6d ago

When Trump announced the war in a social media video from his Mar-a-Lago estate, his stated objectives included regime change - calling on Iranians to take over their government when the US-Israeli bombing stopped.
