They've started setting the grounds for their retreat.

Next they'll tell us Iran has reached out for a ceasefire and negotiations.

Then they'll shamelessly claim to have met all objectives and therefore won the war, all while pulling their troops and assets from the burning regions.

Then Trump will start tweeting seventeen times a day, singing about the superiority and greatness of America and its military force, in a bid to placate and further brainwash his citizens, most of which will certainly be convinced, because those obese sacs of hamburgers are too lazy to think for themselves anyway😂.

Next, the orange paedo will start looking for the next country to bully to bolster the depleted resources of the comatose empire.

The $200 benchmark is the end goal.

Not only will it allow key axis members (Iran and Russia) to rake in the best amount, it would weaken the west leverage over how and in what terms this war should end.

Meanwhile, expect protests in western cities soon. It has already started against Netanyahoo in Israel. Israelis are now protesting against him and the war he brought upon them.

You see....

When the US came out with the news this week that Russia is actively helping Iran with coordinates and Intel used in targeting the he US military and infrastructure in the ongoing war, it was because of this. The amount of casualties they were receiving was too high and they had to come out in frustration to accuse the Russians for being the cause.

Also, accusing the Russians for these mass casualties is another way of covering their own failures of underestimating the Iranian response and escalation capabilities, and also their overconfidence in assuming they'd from start to finish have the war under their control.

This reality is what would eventually bring down the Trump's administration. I trust insiders for the Dems to come out with the real figures a month or two before the midterms.

Trump has dug his political grave.

My brother, its baffled me that it was Trump of all people that fell for this nonsense war.

The US war think-tanks has gamed the Iranian. War scenario multiple times, and on each occasion, the result turned out to be the same: Iran can't be defeated without unprecedented cost and damage to the US war machine and economy.

Now, what changed? Why Trump? Is he really ready to risk it all just to have it on record I'm the man who defeated Iran? I'm still finding it hard to understand the rationale behind this war, aside the Zionist diabolic scheme and the China containment policy that is also backfiring in all indices.

⚡Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, said Iran’s missile launches have dropped about 90 percent since the first day of fighting, and drone launches are down 83 percent.

But Iran still retains a significant arsenal. U.S. officials told Congress in classified briefings that Iran may still have about 50 percent of its missile program intact, along with even more of its drones.
I hope you ain't misleading Trump further you're just being ignorant.

The volume of strikes has dropped because Iran no longer need to waste drones and missiles in salvos since the US and Israel has used up majority of their interceptors against the initial salvos during the early stages.

Hence, what 10 to 20 missiles could have done, one or two are now getting the job done.

Keep underestimating Iran to your peril.

Persia tie wrapper, come use belt hold am for this war.

Moreover, the draw down on volumes of strikes also has to do with the fact that other potential state actors like the European slaves could enter the fray alongside the twin terrorist brothers. Hence, Tehran need to be calculative and reserve the better part of their Arsenals for further escalation.

If that front opens today, well, it would be a match made in heaven for Tehran because, the useless Europeans would run out of munitions faster than the US has done; their pet project Ukraine and their grandmaster Russia has ensured that scenario over the years.

Putin would love nothing more than. Such an opportunity to hit hard at Britain, France, in the cover of Tehran for all the crimes they've committed against the motherland via Ukraine.

The US is currently collecting its retribution. Euros turn is coming.

The audacity and arrogance atimes shocks me sometimes. I wonder how China and India, to an extent, see it. On one hand, you are actively scuttling a major supplier of oil to China and have even stopped another one from supplying the same China. Now, all of a sudden, you want the same China to stop buying Russian crude and buy yours.

Honestly, if not for the economic rise of China, many naive people, including myself, would not have noticed the ugly hypocrisy of the US-led West. It is nauseating to see.
Are you surprised?

Oh, sorry, brother. Be ready for more surprises. Here is another one.

Some weeks to this ongoing war, the US communicated to the Iranians that they should allow the US to strike Iran but that Iran would not strike back. That, if at all they must strike back, it must be a symbolic strike.

Now, wrap your head around that. What you have is psychopathy in it's essence.

-Lord
The US military is now almost two-eye blind across the entire Gulf.

The Iranian strategy really works fine. Take away the radars and leave them groping in the dark.

Trump demanding Iranian unconditional surrender seems to be a pattern of throwing in the towel.

In Day 6 of 12D, he made similar demands and in Day 12, he brokered a ceasefire. He has made this demand again in Day 6 of this ongoing war. But, I doubt if any ceasefire would come out of it for obvious reasons.

First, the people that could have accepted such appeasement are no more---the Ayatollah and several other moderates----who could have accepted their a negotiated ceasefire are dead. Israel/US assassinations made sure of that.

Now, you have more hardliners, and considering the killings of those 160+ school children, hospitals targeted and many civilians dead, Iran will not accept any negotiated end to this war. There must be retribution also by blood.

Moreover, Trump is not in the driving seat to bring this to an end. Wars objectives are realized and won by logistics, and in this area, Persia is gaining immense strategic advantage each day the war roars on. It has succeeded in destroying all US forward bases in the region, even as far as Cyprus. Yesterday, the Iranians made it impossible for a US cargo plane to land at Ben Gurian airport, targeting it with heavy missiles. The plane was forced to make a humiliating 180 and fled the scene to the bewildered eyes of the hopeful Israelis.

The reality on the ground now is that the United States is fighting this war with Apollo on its eyes, which is bad news for Israel. It can easily go from bad to worst should Russia activate its S-400 and Krassuka -4/Leer-3 systems in Syria to further blind overflights. With the majority of their
airbase staging eliminated across the ME, and interceptors running low faster than they imagined, and the economic cost mounting, and Israel collecting free hits after hits, it's just a matter of weeks they'd throw in the towel.

Trump and Bibi has lost this yet again.
