He was a hated ruthless oppressor of his own people who sent his henchmen to kill thousands of protesters. Thanks to Trump he is now a beloved martyr who for years defended Iran from powerful enemies.

Here are the similarities between Iran and Vietnam. Therefore I would argue that we are doomed.
1. Then eventual and now at the get-go low U.S. domestic support.
2. North Vietnam's and Iran's demonstrated so far willingness to absorb enormous costs over a prolonged conflict exceeded America's political willingness to sustain an open-ended war.
3. During Vietnam, U.S. leaders were constrained by concerns about escalation, alliances, and domestic support. In the current conflict involving Iran, concerns about global energy markets, inflation, and economic disruption could similarly influence policy decisions.
4. Then U.S. military strategy and Trump's repeated boasts that emphasized attrition over political control.

Netanyahu lands in Washington DC on July 6th & war restarts on July 8th. But that’s just a coincidence, just like how Israel never stopped bombing Lebanon. Totally irrelevant.

Any idea why the US has been waging endless Wars in the Middle East and around the World, Non-Stop ?
Germany is primarily threaten by the US, leading to extremely high energy costs and complete deindustrialization.
Germany has to stay alert & keep distance from its Warmongering US Brother ! !

Thing is at some point both sides have to make a deal. It is always how it goes. The question is how much both sides are willing to sacrifice beforehand.
