Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[tuck1s]

We’ve whacked the hornet’s nest, there needs to be a clear plan for an end-game. Modern munitions are impressive, but are only useful if there is sound strategy. Otherwise all we are doing is increasing likelihood of terrorist reprisals for decades to come.

None of which changes the course of ongoing hostilities towards the West in the Middle East. It has only served to make things a lot worse than before Trump's war.

Politicians poking there noses in

Let’s face it trump may be commander in chief but he knows FA about military planning / campaigns

He couldn’t find his arris in the dark with both hands and a torch

Hopeless fruit cake imo

and that is now garanteed.

First, there needs to be a defined endgame.

Which has to be realistically achievable.

I doubt such a thing even exists.

It does to Israel but not to the west. Israel has a cause and end game the west is just meddling.

Iran is not "the west".

 

[Highway Man]

Iran is not "the west".

We are the West not Iran, we have no objective to the war. Israel has a legitimate reason and now so does the Gulf states, Trump should back off and let the Arabs finish Iran.

Easy. Get Israel out of the middle east and find it a new location in world somewhere civilised and democratic. Then move all the world's muslims into the middle east.

East is east, west is west.

In another display of brilliant planning the Marine unit Trump is dispatching will be in the region in a mere three to four weeks!

East is east, west is west.

Good idea, I'm sure the MAGAs in Texas would be up for it.

I think he meant the UK or Europe....

somewhere civilised and democratic

Having been comprehensively attacked, bombed and missiled by Israel and the United States, no doubt you'll agree that Iran has a legitimate reason to attack Israel, and American ships, planes and personnel, including political leaders, oil and gas supplies, civillians, roads and bridges, homes, schools and hospitals, as well as journalists.

Trump does not have the ability to bring the war to an end by saying he's lost interest.

Bit of a mess, eh?

Israel has a cause and end game the west is just meddling.

The destruction of Palestine and the extermination of Palestinians will not be the end.
