    We essentially gave Iran the ability to control the straight of hormuz. Nice job, cheeeto!

      It’s not just that precedent…

      It’s giving them 1/3 of a trillion dollars to fortify the stait.

      Like, we showed them they can’t trust America long term, then essentially gave them a blank check to scale up defenses.

      Like, their drones are <30k each…

      They can build over 10 million of them and have billions of dollars left over.

      This will most likely be looked at similarly to how WW1 was mainly just setting the stage for WW2, we all accomplished nothing and just gave a bunch of countries reasons to sink all their money into their militaries

        That’s restitution for bombing the shit out of their country, their kids, their water supply.

        You do see this, right? It’s not a pay-off; it’s a pay back.
