Quote from: TDoS on Mar 29, 2026, 06:29 PMWe don't know yet. Certainly the consequences of Iran surviving his attack probably won't relieve the pressure on the economy, as apparently the Iranians are already demanding nice amounts of coin to let some through. Unlikely that his mistake will cause the Americans to be dislodged from their homeland, or just murdered off.
We know yet for the simple reason that there is nothing to be gained in this mess for America. No benefit, nothing at all. All this war does is benefit Trump and family. America gains nothing.
QuoteUnlikely that his mistake will cause the Americans to be dislodged from their homeland, or just murdered off.This is a logical fallacy. An extreme straw man argument. By shifting the conversation to the "homeland" not being destroyed, TDoS is attempting to minimize a valid criticism (that the war has no benefit and high economic costs) by comparing it to an impossibly high bar for failure. The total annihilation of the United States.
