They spent $4 trillion & 20 years and still lost to barefooted goat herders in Afghanistan.

So whether they spend $100 trillion, e no go change anything.

Everybody knows that US weapons are over priced & over rated.

The US military is well known for paying exorbitant amounts for even the littlest of things.


Did they complain to you?

The US army once paid $42000 for an item originally sold for $62. That's how bad it is for them.

What China or Russia will buy with $32 billion, it'll take the US $5 trillion to buy the exact same thing.

And U.S. has since gone bankrupt🧐. Some humans are just ungrateful. If you sit your ass down to think about what the world would look like if America had not paid the price to ensure the minimal freedom of choice you and I enjoy then you would be grateful! Imagine if Iran was the world power that U.S. is could you make the critical post you just made without endangering your life and freedom 🧐! Think and be grateful!


What price did they pay?

Oh you mean taking trillions worth of resources while donating $ millions in aides?

Left with America you no go fit even afford phone to type this rubbish on the internet. Thank your God for China.

Trump army chiefs warned him not to go to war with Iran but he didnt listen. He chose to do buddy with Netanyahu, and go bomb wily nily Iran.

Everyone managed Iran until Trump came along.

Anyway, we might be heading into the Great Tribulation. It might not even culminate in it but so much is happening.

It would be better for the Trump to eat humble pie than to continue a war that would be too costly to win.

Negotiate with the Mullahs.

Your point does not hold water. As it is right now the US is patroling China's waters and China has not been able to do anything about it. China knows well that US is not to be toiled with! Did You heard what the the US defence minister said recently ? That statement is no joke! Japan had claimed they are more technologically advanced than the US but the rest is history. Today Japan 🗾 is enjoying protection under the US

But Nigerian-Iranian here were saying they won't do it...that Trump is on his own. grin grin grin.

Trump offered Iran a decent peace deal that if well utilized, it could see them develop like their neighbors and change their image globally in a positive way.....but as typical mullahs that they are, they chose WAR!!!... they're bound to learn the hard way. undecided
If you have the choice of doing something stupid or doing nothing, it is always better to do nothing.

US army chiefs had warned Trump not to go to war with Iran, that it wont end well. Now, we see the peesent. The Gulf states did not want the US to use their countries to launch attacks. They wanted nothing to do with Iran. They too knew it wont end well.

Trump waa the one who learnt the hard way. He listened to the advice of the Devil and launched this war.

What you guys fail to understand is that Iran has been heavily sanctioned for decades. Suffering and hardship is nothing new. Their citizens dont like the Mullah neither do most countries who condemn the US strikes. Diplomacy means learning to live peacefully with countries you dont like.

Iran is no easy foe. Its government and army has been divided into 31 units, and all can act independently of the others. Thats why the annihilation of the Ayatollah and other top ranking officers had no effect.

Rather Iran bared its fangs after they wete killed and we are in this mess today.

Mcleo007:
Honestly, I’m conflicted about this whole war situation. Nobody likes seeing conflict escalate, but looking at how things have unfolded, it’s hard to deny that this has become a necessary war. Even the NDAA vote itself shows the reality: the House passed it 216–212, largely along party lines . That tells you everything about how polarized America is right now.

And of course it’s not surprising that the loudest opposition came from the usual corners. America has its own internal warriors who hate anything that looks like a strong foreign policy stance. People like Ilhan Omar and the rest of that Squad faction have built their entire political identity around rejecting these kinds of bills, no matter the context. Their voting pattern is predictable at this point, and this bill just exposed the divide even more.

For me, the situation is messy, but pretending the threat doesn’t exist won’t solve anything. Sometimes nations get pushed into decisions they’d rather avoid, and this looks like one of those moments.
You gave a very strong perspective of this matter. America does not really want a war but allowing Iran to have nuclear power is very dangerous to the entire middle East and the the world at large. Israel has been warning the world at large concerning Iran's threat for over decades. Iran keep sponsoring terrorists and terrorism around the world. The US has to do something about or else. This is not a war against Islam. Iran has been attacking other Islamic nations for years. The reason some of those Islamic nations are in partnership with Israel. Turkiye is another country that might take such path if care is not taken.

This one doesn't know that Iran is dismantling US radars and air defense systems that used to protect Israel from Iranian missiles.

Now Israel is being laid bare. These air defense systems in the Gulf countries accounted for more than 70% of all Iranian missiles that were shot down while heading to Israel.

When Iran is done destroying those systems you will understand why, don't worry.
You deceiving yourself folk! If that is the case Iran would have bombard Israel by now. It will be an opportunity to totally anilliate Israel from the map as that's the original goal that was planned years ago. Iran knows it must make any mistake of throwing even stone into Israel! Israel on the other hand are battle-ready for Iran just waiting for orders.

You know what he has turned Cuba into because of crude oil? If not for the likes of Russia who are still giving them little lifeline. Venezuelan president was kidnapped by him too, all in the name of stealing crude oil.
Iran had the opportunity to get better but they choose terrorism, the money been spent funding terrorism could have been used to better the lives of its people, compare Iran to Kuwait, Qatar, Dubai and Saudi.

That is how small minded you are. I am not reaching on a Chinese device and I avoid using them as they lack ethical governance. America is smart enough to ensure that they get paid for policing the world with their resources. Iran will underwrite all America spends in the war.

First despite the sanctions Iran still sell oil 🛢️ throughout backdoors!
Also Iran has sponsoring terrorism and threatening Islamic and non-islamic neighbours for decades. The world police needs to do something about it and time is running out. The US did not want to be in war but Iran refuse peace. Otherwise why sponsor October 7 attacks and still openly rejoice over it? Iran is the real issue here. Many Islamic nations are happy about what the us is doing other they should have joined force against America

You are myopic in your view. Cheap labour pushed America and European countries to invest in China. China in turn copied technology from them and started building cheap products. China did not invent nothing. All the companies you mentioned are still America companies who mass produce in China.
