I'm not questioning the validity of those numbers, but it only adds to my disappointment of Trump. His rhetoric and inaction is indefensible and embarrassing. He needs to either go for Iran's jugular, or slink away in defeat because he's losing ardent supporters like I once was

Cant win short of a ground war. That was the whole reason not to start war in the first place. This can go on forever. We are shooting down thousand dollar drones with million dollar missiles nothing about this is good for us. Looking back looks like the America first wing of the party was right.

Clear objectives? Which ones?
MemphisAg1 said:
Really disappointed with Trump's prosecution of this war. He started it with clear objectives and then went soft in the knees when the Iranians destroyed Persian Gulf oil infrastructure which threatened to keep the price of gas elevated for some time. He's been saying he wants a deal but hasn't produced anything that accomplishes the objectives he laid out. Now Iran is launching missiles into Israel after they appropriately responded to a Hezbollah rocket attack, and Trump is telling Israel not to retaliate because it might mess up his deal.
TACO. That's all this is, and I'm disgusted by it. Never should have started the fight if he didn't have the spine to see it through.

I see no reporting of Trump talking tough. Said it was more cordial than last time. Trump said he asked Bibi to consider delaying retaliation and Bibi declined.
I thought this was a thread for factual information but instead it's the same folks with updates from the IRGC.

Quote:
The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly one-fifth of global petroleum trade. Iran is effectively controlling it through threats and use of force missiles and drones and establishment of what it says is a new Iranian-led authority to meter access in and out.
For Iran, this is possession. It now has something the US (and for that matter, the rest of the world) wants. And it will not give it up unless and until America pays an exorbitant price. In Tehran's eyes, the strait has now become the most valuable hostage it has ever possessed.
Quote:
For Washington, the three options remain what they've been for weeks:
Endure: Seek to outlast the macro pressure and rising gasoline prices as economic pain compounds inside Tehran to some distant and uncertain breaking point.
Concede: Pay the up-front cost with billions to Iran in exchange for a return to status quo before the war a humiliating retreat for Trump given the stated objectives at the outset.
Fight: Seek to control the strait militarily and renew major operations inside Iran, with risk that Tehran then seeks to expand the war to other fronts.

They understand the nature of this conflict, how to fight it, how to win it, how to resolve it.

The off ramp for Trump on this really doesn't happen in any significant long term deal when the "partner" in this has repeatedly shown they don't have an issue in sabotaging any negotiations or deal.
flown-the-coop said:
That's talking tough? From the folks who think his tweets are just too mean think him saying he calls the shots for the United States (and implied Israel does what Israel wants) is only proving all the Trump is a BoBi puppet wrong.
At some point pick a lane. One day Trump is a puppet, next Trump is slapping BiBi around, tomorrow it's the back to Russia, then China, then he falls asleep.
At some point, get serious.

Never said you said those other things I just pointed out the misinformation seems to have common sourcing and even more common regurgitation of such misinformation.
