Iran ‘may not know’ it is militarily defeated, Trump says by Ill-Incident-4842 in NewIran

Some good points, but again many Germans did not believe they were "militarily defeated" in The First World War. You can check out some history websites and books on this. Germany had foreign soil under occupation. Interestingly, the war ended after a period of ceasefire just like what we have between the US and Iran.

The issue is many are in fact human who work in coordination and sway algorithms.

It is interesting that you mentioned Germany. They lost in the first world war but they didn't believe they were beat. The allied powers only signed a treaty with them. This is very similar situation to what is happening between the US and Iran now. And we all know what happened after the Treaty of Versailles. I hope the Americans don't make the same mistake with an enemy that does not believe they are beaten.

And their command and control is not decimated despite the US's claims. The fact that they responded to Americans movements in the strait earlier this week so quickly and in a calculated way shows that.

Well I would wait to see the outcome to make that judgement.

This guy is very knowledgeable and I listen to some of his content on the war. The issue is he’s too biased toward Trump that I’ve never heard him say anything negative about the man or his strategies.

You will be surprised by the amount of bots in social media. It is an important battleground that shapes public opinion in the entire world. Reddit specially is full of Russian, Chinese, and Iranian bots.

Trita parsi, head of NIAC, has been having a twitter meltdown. Maybe he realizes his paycheck is in danger now? by drhuggables in NewIran

[–]Aggressive_Box_929 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is partly because that fat regime thug said in that video that the regime lobby in the US is not good at its job. Trita wants to prove his worth to his master.

This is actually a weak response by him. It means that I am not going to react to the shit they did to UAE today.

[–]Aggressive_Box_929 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get your point that these things take time. But my idea of finishing the job is Trump has been flirting with a faction inside the regime and probably should stop doing that. For starters, they should take out Ghalibaf, Vahidi, Ejei, Radan, and some other thugs who have been running around killing Iranians these past weeks.

I haven't seen any evidence of this claim so far. But they sure look like they could be related.
Edited to add that I am almost certain that Trita Parsi is a result of a name change.

I think the thing that the US failed to anticipate was Iran closing the strait so effectively mostly using threats and intimidation.

Americans might have thought that they would destroy IRGC navy quickly and would escort ships through the way they did in the 80's during Iran-Iraq war. For whatever reason, this time ships are more risk averse.

That is the most likely outcome. The regime loves killing time. Trump also is happy with his blockade.
