Trump's Mess in Iran

Posted by Maestro on 5/1/2026, 10:05 am

Last night on Ken Burn's history of the American Revolution, which is being replayed on PBS, the narrator made a comment that made me think of the mess Trump is now in with Iran. George Washington at one point in the revolutionary war began to realize that he did not need to win, just not lose, he understood that the British had to win decisively to win the war. Looks like Trump is in the same mess the Brits and King George got themselves into fighting us.

True!
But how long can Iran keep this up?
And in the meantime you can bet your bottom dollar the CIA, Mossad, etc., are sowing division inside Iran's military, trying to get some insiders to stage some kind of coup against the surviving regime leaders.
It's just very surprising that Iran has not folded. Props to them on that score!

btw, "Trump's Iran war reaches Iraq and Vietnam-era disapproval levels"...Ouch!!...n/t

OUCH!!!

"61% of Americans say the Iran war is a " mistake", per New WaPo-ABC poll.

"In Iraq, it took 3 years to reach that high.
In Vietnam, it took 6 years."
[5.1]

No doubt social media plays a part in how quickly Americans are turning against this U.S. Iran war.
So let us all keep Hope alive. There.
