this is worse because if we do come out of this the decisive loser, which is likely, we really don't look like the world's superpower anymore.

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.

cr. WW2 and Korea were still recent memory in Vietnam.

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.

Jfc this place. 90k Americans died in Vietnam and we went into our shell for 20 years. This air campaign won't even get registered in history books as a war.

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.

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.

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.

i was never a huge foreignpolicymo, but did people really think that they were capable of wrecking the world economy?

This will always be less remembered as a defeat and more as the event that lifted the veil off our relationship with Israel.

yep, you can say this about most of what trump has done in his second term. he's so jewed that even fox news boomers (at least some of them) are starting to ask "wait, what is this?"
