vietnam wasn't all that long after ww2 and it was just like oh haha that wasn't really a war anyway. iran is going to have larger consequences. |

America wasn't dependent on an aura which developed after the first Gulf War - built on Grenada and Panama, buttressed by Iraq War and Afghanistan - that if you pissed it off it could wipe you off the map in a matter of days with death rays and frogmen.
Trump is blowing that all up and the US is going to be diminished because of it.

Date: April 24th, 2026 8:28 PM Author: Brass Nursing Home i wouldn't rule out a ground invasion/quagmire just yet. but even if that doesn't happen, iran showed that they could fuck the world economy up by closing the strait and we can't do all that much about it. that isn't good.

Date: April 24th, 2026 8:30 PM Author: Drab Laughsome Gas Station tbf, this has always been the case, so nothing was really "proven" here except that we gave it a shot and predictably failed. no one else has a geographic advantage like this. it's insane really, they've got a kill box over over the global economy.
but that's if we avoid the quagmire. if we back out soon i agree with guy above that this is a footnote. if not, all bets are off. |

Date: April 24th, 2026 8:31 PM Author: Brass Nursing Home i don't think you're correct - i think the world looks at iran very differently now that they actually closed the strait and showed they have the fortitude to keep it closed.
