USA Goes to War Against Iran
Time for a dedicated thread to the war.
How long will it last and what will be the probable outcome?
more antisemitism from the msm
Hezbollah embeds itself within civilian infrastructure which is probably why Lebanon is so desperate to kick them out. Not really sure you’d have to ask the Lebanese.
You think they want to negotiate with the AmeriIsrsaeli rape empire? Desperate times brother.
I'm marking you down for "all of them, every man, woman, and child"
That was a reason to redouble efforts to improve relations with the more pragmatic/reasonable leaders. Not to burn it all down.
And a reason to take defensive security very seriously. Including an inquiry into any security lapse.
I agree they should try diplomacy but I disagree on who the pragmatic/reasonable leaders are. The old leadership was incentivized to keep the conflict going because they were grifting millions from UNRWA. Now that Israel and the US have clamped down on that money train we will have to see what the new leaderships priorities are.
Like Afghanistan and North Korea? Like is said, if that is winning, then count me out.I do really wonder if Americans who cheerlead when other societies destroy themselves to “win” against America, while they themselves enjoy every comfort of being part of America, feel any shame over this. Especially when the actual people who live inder such “winning” conditions are often
Sorry bro, guess I'm just a hippy cuck that doesn't like war, causing normal people to die from my country's bombs and getting into all new nation building adventures.
But I know, our backs are against the wall with the Iranian threat, there was just nothing else that could be done. I should be thankful for having such a strong, thoughtful president that is taking the necessary steps to preserve my safety and freedom.
It's always fun living abroad when the US starts a war of choice and super bonus points when it directly affects my host country's population with gas prices and shortages.
And super duper double bonus points when my country with the strongest military in history or whatever is perceived to have lost a war to a bunch of shitbags. Fills me with pride.

We have had a lot of exchanges over the years, and you have more or less admitted you agree America is the great Satan, you embrace a new multipolar order, and want to see America knocked down several pegs. So yeah, all these things happening does seem like something that you would be ok with.
[QUOTE=WSJ]The U.S. raced Thursday to keep Israel’s war in Lebanon from derailing talks with Iran this weekend, with President Trump asking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back attacks that were threatening a fragile cease-fire.
Israel said Thursday that it would begin direct negotiations with Lebanon after Trump delivered the stern message to Netanyahu in a phone call that a U.S. official said was shorter than their usual regular talks.[/QUOTE]
Maybe there's more substance to the talks than I was thinking. I suppose the US could lift some sanctions in exchange for the toll booth scheme.

You misinterpret my stance, I'm antiwar, especially wars of choice like Iraq 2003. Like the majority of people I can understand Afghanistan, although not forgive that **** show of an exit.
A silver lining I see from America losing wars is maybe we'll eventually learn to stop starting them unnecessarily.
More fake news, I saw hegseth saying Iran was begging for a ceasefire.
It’s funny all of Israel’s neighbors who don’t go on murder rape sprees or launch missiles at their civilians are doing ok.
Israel has a policy of when you hit them they hit you back harder. Some have learned, others aren’t so smart…

Trouble for israel is that they do learn. They learn the only lesson possible in response to such a strategy.
The US is moving mass amounts of assets to the Middle East. This ceasefire is nothing more than a rest/reload situation. These negations right now are nothing more than the US telling the Iranians how it's gonna go. The President has allowed the current leaders to stay alive. If they don’t capitulate which they won't they are dead. It’s time to turn Iran into a parking lot.
The Gazans are allowed to exist by Israel’s good graces. If this situation existed in any other part of the world the Gazans would have been genocided generations ago.
As of 21 February 2026, at least 75,227 people (73,188+ Palestinians[4] and 2,039+ Israelis)[7][8][9][10] have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including 248 journalists and media workers,[11] 120 academics,[12] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[13] Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed were civilians.[6][5][14] A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.[15][16]
The majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The GHM total casualty count does not distinguish how Palestinians were killed, whether from Israeli airstrikes and artillery barrages or other means, like errant Palestinian rocket fire, but describes all casualties as victims of "Israeli aggression".[17] Doctors in Gaza say that it largely excludes people who have died from a lack of adequate treatment, disease and other impacts from the war.[18][19] An analysis by the Gaza Health Projections Working Group predicted thousands of excess deaths from disease and birth complications.[20] The GHM demographic breakdown is a subset of those individually identified.[21][22] On 31 May 2025, the GHM published the names, gender and birth date of 60,199 individual Palestinians whose identities were confirmed and continues to attempt to identify all casualties.[23][21]

Again, Israel would have been and has had justification to conduct actual genocide. The fact that they haven’t over the past century is more than we could say for any other nation.

Imagine if the Israelis weren't the most morale military in the world. Imagine if they didn’t notify civilians that their area was about to get bombed. Are the Iranians, Hamas, and Hezbollah doing the same.
I’d say quite measured.
If the Palestinians tried pulling their **** next to a Christian or Arab nation they would have been exterminated and added to the history books as a footnote 60 years ago.
I don’t care about virtue signaling bud. I speak facts and truth.
And by genocide I didnt necessarily mean Holocaust style genocide (actual genocide) but ethnically cleansing the surrounding area. Under normal circumstances (not involving Jews), this would have been done with no qualms or resistance. Obviously no nation should be expected to tolerate suicide bombings from extremist terrorists living right on their borders.
