Also with a baseops accounts dating back to 2005 and 2003 respectively there’s a very low likelihood either of you are even still in the military or have a clearance at this point

Been in since '94 bud and still have all the clearances.........careful w/ your assumptions on here

Truly one of the dumbest posts he's ever made...Started in 90 and have had a clearance ever since.

I will say it’s a solid rhetorical pivot from you guys though..

Can’t argue the war on its own merits? Just invoke “secret” info that no one can confirm or refute in an open forum to prove the whole thing is justified and a super good idea. I guess that’s checkmate because I honestly can’t do much with that

DOW up.

SP 500 up.

Oil plunging.

Straight open.

Iran says it's open.

The war is arguing its own merits. All that info is public and on every major outlet. No clearance required.

Potentially $20+ billion to Iran as part of the deal...

Regime - intact

Ballistic missile threat - intact

Nuclear material - at large

Population - more rallied behind their government than before

Regime - pinky promising they won’t make a nuke which you wouldn’t believe last time but will now for some reason

Yeah dude so much progress has been made

Are you suggesting that Iran has basically been unaffected by this war?

Where do they make the drones? What about the ballistic missiles? How do they enrich uranium? Is a regime defined by the name, or by the leadership? Which leaders are "intact?" What is Iran's control of the Straits currently accomplishing for them?

Would you say that Iran (the Islamo-fascist regime, not the abstract country) is going to be better off, the same, or worse off in 10-20 years as a result of this war? Will they represent more or less of a regional threat?

And where is your claim about the population support coming from? I asked this before (with no answer), but why is Iran blocking the Internet still if the population is rallying behind them?

You just say things, eh?

The irony of you ignoring the signals all around you to pin this on...me? Is not lost. I can only imagine the tune you'd be singing if the stock market was crashing, if shipping was still halted, and if oil were approaching $200.

But you can't point to any of those things, so you make up some thing in your head that "I" speak for the world? LOL, no. I'm just looking at the signals the world is sending. Every one this morning is positive (for us). Merely pointing out that you're (still) ignoring them. Leaving that aside, you claim to know things that are unknowable. Iran has had an internet blackout for the entire conflict, yet you state that they're more aligned with the regime than ever? M'kay.

But whatever. You're impermeable to facts and unable to even observe, it seems. Your mind is made up, and that's fine. I just don't understand the point of coming on here and attempting to argue a position without bringing any facts, novel interpretations, or even re-interpretations of things that other posters may say, but which you disagree with because <reasons>. You've got none of that. You're not arguing, you're just trolling.
