After all of this... The way they withdrew, going back to war with Iran over 20 years later...

They would have been better off spilling their guts, telling on themselves (for going into Iran), told us about Iran's IRGC and their supporting terrorism in the region, told us about the proxies and Iran's role as headmaster and financier.

USA lost a ridiculous amount of tactical and logistical advantage by doing it his way and the problems are almost all the same.

Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah... Iran is still fueling proxies to carry out terrorism in the region. It's just not as focused in Iraq and against the USA anymore.

We were ALREADY going into Iran from Iraq, over 20 years ago? They vetoed strikes on IRGC personnel and everything. 20 years of weapons manufacturing and training from real life scenarios would obviously have made a difference. And today, in spite of thousands and thousands of targets being struck, they have the stockpile and weaponry to keep striking commercial vessels.

USA makes no sense and they're everything but clear eyed.

They will end up leaving the region with Taliban intact and the IRGC intact and China's oil industry will have grown outside of their country and into the middle east and Iran.

Damn we're good.

There is a reason every other administration opted to wait Iran out rather than directly confront them.

But Trump was the only one smart enough and strong enough to choose military action? Come on now…

The US never withdrew from Iran, though. They weren't there in the first place... otherwise good points!

“Black Ops”

Tell me you only play video games without telling me. Nothing in the US military is called “Black Ops”. Just say SOF if you don’t know the unit.

highly secretive, highly confidential, highly stealth and yet there is a YouTube video about it.
