I can’t fathom there being a good look at the end of this. The decapitation strike was stupidly underbaked, the later attacks were poorly orchestrated, the broad lack of planning seemed almost intentional. We spent money to lose money, and kill children.
Honestly, I’m seeing a lot of parallels with the Russia/georgia/ukraine situation with the US/venezuela/iran
Not to his base, as soon as gas drops a Lil bit they will be screaming “fuck yeah we showed them not to fuck with us” meanwhile Iran is probably going to come out ahead in all this (except for human life ,which doesn’t seem to bother their leadership)
The Persian gulf area petro states, or their leaders, have profited really well from the combination of American military and American thirst. Usually I bet they’re happy to throw a little cash wherever we say. But being in the hook for this much money because Trump attacked for no reason and no planning? That has to make them unhappy.
Yet more losing the influence we once had. Winning!?!?
Regardless of where the money comes from, handing over $300 billion to Iran after we attacked them is a bad look.

No no you seem to have misunderstood…
The billions are to be paid by the Gulf Coast Coalition. You know, the GCC
Gulf Cooperation Council

I’m aware of where JD Vance is claiming the money will come from.
It doesn’t matter. It still looks really fucking bad.
When they open the Strait because JD promised them they’re getting 300 bill from the magical supertree… who’s the one looking bad?
You don’t think they would close it again once they realize they’ve been tricked?
Bruh.
Sure, but they’ll look like fools
You’re sorely mistaken - the US is the only one looking like fools here.
Yeah sure if Iran gets played by checks notes JD vance and checks again Marco Rubio they’re gonna look like a bunch of friggin masterminds
And we’ll go back to begging them to reopen the Strait while gas prices skyrocket again.
