Trump is now caught in the oldest trap of modern warfare – believing a swift, surgical military operation will yield quick, enduring political results. The Soviets did it in Afghanistan; the US in Iraq in 2003; Putin did it in Ukraine, and is still fighting. Whatever force a military fails or succeeds in applying at the start, the people it is attacking have greater commitment to defending their lands and homes.
The White House may have rushed into this, seizing the opportunity for a decapitation strike, provided by Israeli intelligence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has very different objectives regionally, and a long US involvement against Tehran suits his desire for an Iran in rolling collapse that is no longer a threat. But the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on February 28 has caused as many problems as it has solved.
Calling it now, when striking military targets fails to get surrender, we will switch to war crimes, Israel and then the US will start hitting water, food, and transportation infrastructure.
The only way to get victory from this war is genocide.
We blew up a school. It was war crimes from the start.
right out of the gate!
You’re about 2 weeks too late for that, US&Israel have committed multiple war crimes already.
And we know the Zionists are intensely relaxed about perpetrating genocide.
Uh, y’all already all in on that.
They already have been. I know that at least one water desalination plant was hit. Civilian fuel infrastructure has been hit. The US openly stated they’re going to try to cripple their industrial capacity. Seems the US has adopted Israel’s Dahiya doctrine which targets civilian infrastructure. I think Trump said once the US is done there will be nobody left to surrender…
“At some point I don’t think there will be anybody left, maybe to say ‘we surrender.’ They’re being decimated.”
It’s not a war crime is it’s the first time.
Wonder what new horrors the torment nexus can cook up.
This war?
