So what is the consensus here. Hoping he goes through with it so you guys can bitch about that, or hoping he delays so you can play the taco game? Either way it’s a win for you guys right. Is there a right option for trump today?

If I get to choose, I’d order the TACOs Grande - the full TACO that puts an end to US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Declare it one of the greatest victories in the history of the world and move on.

I definitely would not choose a nuclear attack or however it is Trump is threatening to wipe out a whole civilization.

What I consider most likely is the TACO teaser or temporary TACO that extends the status quo for 2 weeks.

Why do you do this? You are completely uninformed on ME politics. I mean, that doesn't negate your statement but it calls into question why you posted it.

I can state confidently that there is no subject in politics, policy, law, military strategy or foreign policy on which you are more educated than the majority of Americans. You are below 50th percentile in everything, dude. Pretending it's not the case doesn't change that.

The chart and the premise behind it is that we chose a path that led to those issues. Our hand was forced or we risked a worse situation. If you want to apply that chart to individual decisions that have been made then it gives a more nuanced context. Given the number of missions flown, the loss of life and equipment is phenomenally low. But that isn't the message you wanted to convey. As well, if we took no action, the price of oil was going to go up. We don't know at this point if the "new" regime is more terroristic. Read this morning that the son is in a coma and not involved in the decision making.

Why didn't we tell Israel to get fucked? What would that have actually cost us?

1. One hallmark of terrible decision making is leaving yourself with no good options.
2. I hope he does not bomb civilian populations. Everyone here will agree with that.
3. You are a fucking psychopath if you think our motivation for wanting him to TACO is so we can chortle about him TACOing.

I want him to TACO because a) I do not war crimes to be committed; b) I do not want the United States committing those war crimes; c) the Iranian people are humans and not chessboard pawns whose lives should be subject to the whims of a mercurial and mentally addled narcissist.

That your mind went to "hoping he delays so you can play the TACO game" is the biggest self-own in the history of this board. You just admitted so much about yourself, and it sure as hell isn't flattering.

4. To be clear, the right option for Trump is to TACO. It's not even a close question.
 
So, if Iran does agree to reopen Hormuz for two weeks, can someone please explain to me how we’re in a better position today than we were on February 27? Thanks in advance.
