Ayatollah says Iran triumphed in the U.S.-Israeli war and dealt a “severe blow”

The Palis oppressed themselves. Please. Who else gets waterfront property and still manages to fuck it up? Israel let their people live in Israel, become citizens of Israel and before 10/7 had more than tripled the number of work permits issued to Gazans. Any single Arab Palestinian who wanted to live next to or in Israel was free to do so. He or she just had to agree to stop, you know, blowing up school buses and cafes. And even then, Israel would (stupidly) release them from prison only to have them turn around and keep trying to kill Jews. See, e.g., Yahya Sinwar.
Oppressed indeed. Pfft. That is the crazy af US liberal go-to line. Are you a Columbia student? If not, I recommend not using it.

Nothing another crussade couldn't cure!

A people unwilling to fight for their own freedom are unlikely to appreciate it being given to them by a foreign power.
Also, until the democrats handed them pallets of cash the regime was on a razor edge with no ability to fund themselves let alone proxies. It's very simple to get back to that state of affairs.
Doubly so since Russia and China are themselves scarce of funds to prop up Iran these days.

Thats the rub. Creepycoug isn't wrong but neither are you
Let's see what happens with the Gulf States engaged.

I hope you are right.
Thanks, Obama.
Maybe the ongoing policy is full sanction, prop up Israel and periodically bomb the ever loving shit out of strategic targets.
I can get on board with that.
I just need a break from the Steve Bannon/Tucker Carlson "you said you more forever wars!!!!" kermit the frog handwringing girl scouts. It's unmanly and it's unrealistic. We have interests around the globe. We are going to protect our interests as long as we have a man in the White House.
God help us when the pendulum swings back hard to American Liberal Theocracy.
We have a window here with a guy in the chair who is willing to swing the dick. Let him swing.
Let me ask you this: what would you have Trump do if the Iranians started getting cute with Hormuz? I think I know what the gals would say. What would you say?

One thing we know from the piece I cited, and as my primo pointed out, the Iranians were having cash flow problems. Maybe double down on that pressure and, again, periodically swing the dick when the circumstances demand it (and when they do demand it, tune out the "you promised!!!" gals). Maybe that's the way forward.
In other words, LIPO. Until then, we sent a reminder of what we can do that they most assuredly cannot do.
We should double up on our shitty friendship with Israel (and maybe make it not shitty) as well as financial support of war toys and let them keep crushing Hamas, Hezbollah and the rest of the Arab Hitler Youth. One HAS TO BELIEVE that one can defeat terrorism. It's like roaches in your house and @Swaye ain't around to spray: you don't just sit down and let them get into your food and have run of the house. You fucking stamp them out any chance you get. Continue full unapologetic support of Israel, double down on war toy gifts, quit hiring kids from Columbia and Harvard, and dare the Islamic Republic to punch back. Dare them to even look at Hormuz and swing hard if they do.
People and governments respect strength and pretty much nothing else. Otherwise, I want what's yours and you want what's mine.

I also want to add one more thing in true triple shit poast form:
when Israel bent Hamas over in Gaza, every fucking liberal POS in the US said (after screaming "war crimes! war crimes!") that the REAL problem was Iran and that instead of pounding the poor Palis Israel should instead deal with Iran.
those same liberal POS people then screamed "war monger! war monger! another forever war! oh no! end of times!" after Israel grabbed their balls and threw the punch and then screamed it louder when Trump trumped with the bombing. fuckin' A.
after more than half a century of winning on this planet, if I have learned only one thing it is this: you simply cannot win with some people and there is no point in trying to meet them half-way. as both @UW_Doog_Bot and @RaceBannon remember, I used to be quite the centrist and I would go OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY to see things from the liberal side of things only to have it shoved back down my throat with thinly veiled and often not veiled at all accusations of racism, misogyny (well, that's mostly true, but whatever) and xenophobia. eh, some people just cannot get through their boring lives without having a perceived oppressor about which they can bitch, complain and cry.

I fucking pray they fuck with Hormuz.
We? are about the only meaningful country in the world that is well positioned to deal with that risk. Drill baby drill. OK maybe Russia at this point since they've already isolated their markets.
It would absolutely devastate China and put the euros in their place. There's a reason China already told them "No".
It would turn the entire Sunni world into close US allies overnight.
In principle though, no, I like big swinging dick peace through strength foreign policy. I'm good with the occasional reminder to the rest of the world that they aren't our vassal states because of our generosity and magnanimous nature.

Both funded by billions of tax dollars via Obunghole and Slow Joe…

That is a far different approach than endless wars.
Trump is the modern day Teddy. Talk shit and carry a bit stick.
And that's tolerable - though morally killing people is just as wrong in military action as at the local Planned Parenthood (Holla at ya boy, creepycoug).
You just don't have to go looking for a never ending stick recipient.
