Jesse Malcolm Barack rank	Sun Aug 09 18:10:34 https://ww...ing-iran-negotiations-b6a43ad6 Trump Thought Opening the Strait of Hormuz Was Imminent. Iran Had Other Plans. Tehran’s new demands for major concessions come days after the White House had signaled a deal to clear commercial passage was within reach WASHINGTON—For weeks, President Trump had been laying the groundwork to declare victory in the Iran war should Tehran fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, even floating the idea privately to senior aides that he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal, U.S. officials said. But that scaled-back objective became more difficult when Iran insisted Saturday on its highest price yet for permitting the free flow of traffic in the waterway, seeking billions of dollars in U.S. payments, the removal of American troops from the region and an end of the U.S. naval blockade, among other things. “This rapid chain of events suggests Trump’s options for walking away from the conflict have again narrowed.”
Jesse Malcolm Barack rank	Sun Aug 09 18:12:21 Oh man so Trump was going to pretend he won and taco out completely deciding they can keep their nuclear weapon programme and everything else, but iran took a giant shizz on his head and will keep the strait closed until they pay war compensation

Sam Adams rank	Sun Aug 09 22:22:17 Or the most retarded. Between trump and the Saudis it's got a slight chance. Ww1 gonna be hard to top though.
tumbleweed rank	Mon Aug 10 19:14:25 "he’s willing to walk away without a nuclear deal" i was going to note that was his entire reason for the war, but he has helpfully said it again specifically: " I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON)... " https://tr...Trump/posts/117072168149236615 so just putting that here for when this total waste (& illegally started war) finally ends

Rugian rank	Tue Aug 11 17:51:09 As fun as it would be to watch Iran make Trump flail, time is ultimately on our side. Iran's economy is in freefall and shortages are mounting. Trump's going to start hitting infrastructure eventually as well. I don't see Iran being able to wait this out for another two and a half years.

Imagine the whupping they'll get from European countries that have much more advanced armies and who have been playing war games with the USA for decades. Please come to Greenland.
Pillz rank	Tue Aug 11 19:51:16 Rugian pretending like the US economy isn't about to collapse lol
Rugian rank	Tue Aug 11 20:16:44 Pillz The US economy has been "about to collapse" since 2007 according to a number of the folks on here. At some point, you just stop believing it.
Sam Adams rank	Tue Aug 11 22:04:42 The entire Canadian economy consists of 4 gay guys making hockey sticks and a couple of sugar maple farms. It is known.
Forwyn rank	Tue Aug 11 22:53:44 That reminds me: "For 2026 projections, U.S. nominal GDP is about $32.38 trillion out of a world total of roughly $125–126 trillion, equating to approximately 25.9%."
Pillz rank	Wed Aug 12 17:50:06 A house of cards is always impressive until it collapses
Turtle Crawler rank	Wed Aug 12 18:33:07 The US economy isn't going to collapse but they are still selling oil reserves and that will have to stop.
Pillz rank	Wed Aug 12 18:47:36 It'll collapse because of global financial issues (like Japan) and the AI bubble popping, wiping out half the stock market's value. Y'all doomed.
