Hegseth "no quarters " may have incentivized Iran to use chemical and biological warefare on invading troops. I can expect a dirty war that can inflict massive US casualties. Trump is sending sons and daughters to a fateful war which he has no empathy.

Congress is co-equal branch of the government and have equal status with the executive and judiciary. Congress is not subordinate to Trump. He will do well to uphold the constitution's separation of power. He is NO KIng and that is what the people expect of him.

Biggest suckers - MAGA supporters

They said the same thing about the Vietcong as rural farmers. A super power humbled by the rural farmers. 😄

IMHO I will be more worried about a global threat from North Korea who has been expanding its nuclear arsenal and has developed ICBM that can reach US and Europe. Iran's nuclear threat is still a perception and denied by even US intelligence and IAEA and there are no confirmation that they have long range ICBM to reach US. To go to war over a perception is highly flawed.

Almost right until the part whereby 168 schoolchildren were killed.

There is very little border crossing according to UN. Most have decided to stay and may even take up arms against invaders. The indiscriminate bombings and civilian deaths including children will hardened even the apolitical Iranians. When you are fighting for your survival, do you care about your payroll? Iran is still firing and striking Israel and the gulf states. Russia and China are supporting Iran in weapons. Don't think there is material exhaustion or the regime is brokened. Their political system is highly de-centralized and designed to withstand shocks like the deaths of senior leaders. The de-centralized system across military,political and security institutions capable of functioning even in the absence of the supreme leader. Trump has beatened more than he can chew in a war that US just can't win.

The IRGC is fighting the war and they are diehard regime supporters. The bombing of the cities where the anti regime protesters reside was a big big mistake and has unified Iran. The Iran regime has been on his death throes because of dissent and bad economy. Lot more can be achieve to rid the regime without the war. War has done the reverse and gave the regime legitimacy to carry on.

A system or tactical plan do not win wars. It is about adaptation and most important morale. Iran is fighting for their survival and death is a path to martyrdom. Majority in US opposed the Iran war with many concern for the potential loss of life.

Should it not be Israel troops deployed rather than Americans ? After all, this is Israel war with no benefit to America.
-
Very much so. Thailand informed Iran that they are not a party to the regional conflict. In which Iran replied that "friends have a special place". The 2nd tanker owned by SCG was granted safe passage.

A Thailand oil tanker got permission from Iran to sail pass the Straits of Hormuz. Bit of good news for the fuel crunch in Thailand.
-
SEC is chaired by Trump's goon and compromised. The good news is that the Statute of Limitation for insider trading is generally 5 years for civil enforcement and 6 years for criminal charges. Even better news is that the SEC Chair will be replaced when administration change.

Agree. However the worse will be Trump sending American sons and daughters to fight and die for Israel and Saudi Arabia.
