Precisely. The political class is pretty well complicit in this war. Very few are challenging these decisions. Many democrats are cynically choosing to stay quiet in the hope/belief that the GOP is digging its own grave (IMO).
Trump tells aides he's willing to end war without reopening Hormuz: WSJ
- TableTop commented Mar 30, 2026
Is he burning bridges so that there is no way back? No backing down? He's telling the world that if he doesn't get his own way, he is going to commit war crimes.

I'm sure you're right, the loss of Kharg Island is going to be a terrible outcome for Iran. But adding to your comment, if Iran has been preparing for this war for some time (I've read this often, so let's assume there is some truth to it), then a ...
Trump: US could sieze the export hub of Kharg Island - FT
- TableTop commented Mar 27, 2026
...he's also stupid. Sadly, he's just about intelligent enough to know that he's stupid and that irks him a lot. So he has to pretend to be clever, hence all of the long rambling nonsense he spews. To feel better, he has surrounded himself with ...

Trump: Unsure if we're able to or willing to make a deal with Iran

There is no way of trusting anything that he says. Just impossible. Spend a bit of time listening (or better put captions on and read what he says) to the garbage that he spews. He even manages to contradict himself within the same sentence.

Yeah - I assume this is an agreement not to escalate, rather than stop the fighting. It's really not clear.
Iran's Parliament Speaker: No talks have been held with US
- TableTop commented Mar 23, 2026
Two scenario's to consider. Trump lied - highly likely, maybe he thinks this gives Iran an off ramp. Iran calls it out as TACO. Trump told the truth - less likely (IMO), but if so Iran's denial play well to the home team. And the home team counts ...

Is the decision still one for Trump /US to make? If the US unilaterally decide that they have done enough for a win, but Iran continue to block the staights, is it a win? Iran could decide that the war is not over. The US cannot then walk away. Or ...

Bombing critical civilian infrastructure...isn’t this getting into 'war crime' territory? Isn't this also the type action that brings a country together?

Either US and 5 eyes intelligence isn't worth the money or this is total bs. You're telling me that thisnis the way Iran show the world they could bomb London?
Iran targeted but did not hit Diego Garcia base with missiles, WSJ reports
- TableTop commented Mar 21, 2026
Reads as an admission of failure. Nothing significant achieved. The biggest news here is that the US Empire is no longer providing freedom of movement in the region. This leaves the region open to more change, and influence. It potentially signals ...
US assessment: Iran could keep Hormuz shut for anywhere from one to six months
- TableTop commented Mar 20, 2026
What are the chances that this will be different to most US actions in the middle east? Tactically, they can obviously do it. Strategical, political success? Unlikely, considering the gulf war was the only strategic success.

I do get your hatred of the Iranian regime. They are a terrible blight on the human race. I have felt a similar sadness with the US empire, especially as i have learned more about the sweeping post 9/11 changes and more recent trump challenge to the ...
