Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?
- Thread starter Sybertiger
- Start date
The not-war restarted yesterday, but because the Trump Admin discovered polling showing him the worst President of all time, they are pivoting to domestic issues heading into the midterms. So all messaging is now about domestic policy.
You probably won’t hear as much about the not-war over the next 2-3 months (we’ll be there for years)
They know his supporters attention span is about 24-48 hours tops, so Faux News will pump Red Team /Blue Team News to keep them occupied

Chevron CEO says shortages in oil supply will begin appearing
Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth said on Monday that physical shortages in oil supply would begin appearing around the world because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global crude supply passes.
Economies will begin shrinking, first in Asia, as demand adjusts to reduced supply with the strait still closed because of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, Wirth said during a discussion sponsored by the Milken Institute.
"We will start to see physical shortages," Wirth said, noting that surplus supply in commercial markets, tankers in so-called shadow fleets avoiding sanctions, and national strategic reserves were being absorbed.
Asia is most heavily dependent on the Gulf's oil production and refineries, with Europe likely to be affected next, Wirth said.
The overall effect of the Hormuz closure is "potentially as big as in the 1970s," Wirth said. Two major supply disruptions in that decade shook economies around the world, leading to fuel rationing and long lines at retail pumps. (Reuters)

Because trump says there's a ceasefire 
In reality world, there is no ceasefire. There's a:
"quit talking about the not-war becasue its killing our poll numbers and we have to start talking about domestic issues before the cult wakes up"

I’m sure the cult goes along with this 
…. I mean, tell me again why the fuck we did this to begin with?
Do the Trump droids realize how utterly fucking stupid this sounds?
Surely there’s some wise YouTube analyst to provide us perspective on this whole absurd fucking operation?
Here I’ll save you time:
Trump decided, based on threats from Israel and it’s owned pawns in the US govt. that we needed to take out Iran so that they could speed up their expansion goals of greater Israel.
Trump saw this as not just orders from his boss but an opportunity to steal yet another countries oil.
Exceptionally poor planning and intelligence along with a much deteriorated military, allowed it to be turned into an A#1 clusterfuck and complete failure.
Not a single strategic goal achieved.
An international embarrassment
Loss of 16 of 17 US military bases
Skyrocketing oil/gas prices worldwide
Destroyed relations with numerous countries and former allies
Loss of $ influence in the global oil trade
$50 Billion+ in cost
Unknown number of dead and wounded
Allowed Israel to slaughter more civilians in Lebanon
Detracted attention away from the Epstein files showing Trump is a pedophile
One good thing that came from it: in all likelihood Netanyahu is dead
======
Rubio says the goal now is to return the Strait of Hormuz back to the way it was:
But our preference is for these straits to be opened to the way they're supposed to be open— back to the way it was—no mines in the water. Nobody paying tolls. That’s the goal.

And the toddler in Chief changes his mind yet again.
He’s done with the Epstein Failure operation. He’s running from it now as he sees he’s becoming a pariah even to Trump supporters

Trump pauses "Project Freedom" for negotiations while claiming it was a "tremendous Military Success," despite no ship verifiably passing the Strait of Hormuz and Iran retaliating heavily by attacking the UAE in response to the operation. He says the blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect. Iran has repeatedly said it will not negotiate while the blockade continues.
TACO Tuesday. - He failed Again.

This whole clusterfuck has been for nothing.
Time to force Trump out of office

LOL … he’s negotiating with imaginary people again …
Even Biden wasn’t this far gone.

Trump looks like a complete and total loser, a national embarrassment

Oh it gets better….
These 3 posts sums up where we are in the foolish Trump follies …
With Operation Freedom now being put on “pause” after the Trump Administration spent the entire day talking about it, one thing has become increasingly clear:
Iran KNOWS how politically untenable it now is for Trump to resume military operations, and they’re now increasingly leveraging this.
With more and more information coming out that yesterday was not the “first time” an American vessel has been fired on during the ceasefire, Iran is becoming more and more emboldened.
Targeting a U.S. vessel? Not serious enough for a response.
Launching missiles at the UAE? That’s just a small oopsies.
With the U.S. blockade proving to be one of the most strategically disastrous moves we could have made, it is clear that the economic warfare campaign is not succeeding, we do not have the political will to turn back to kinetic strikes (at least not without MORE severe actions from Iran), so… what DO we have now?
Unless Trump is able to pull a rabbit out of his hat, the United States has lost this war. Iran did not win, the United States lost, and that difference will go down in history.

So let me get this straight, Trump's “Project Freedom” lasted 12 hours? Then Trump backed down. Again. Even after two US ships were fired on...
Hint:
There was never actually a “Project Freedom”. He just tweeted some made up bullshit in the morning and all day long his people were trying to figure out how to “make it happen”.
And the press tried to cover for him the whole time.
