• This is just a facile thing to say in the context of the US floundering in Iran.

    Iran has a much bigger, more experienced military, more territory, more people, and is significantly farther from the US than venezuela. The US is floundering because of rockets and drones, not words.

    Not hand over people the US just released to your custody, not allow the US to tell Venezuela where the oil goes, not meet up with the leader of the CIA to set up strategic partnerships. You know, basic shit.

    Again, it’s been less than 6 months. if they’re still doing all these concessions the rest of the year, then I might join you in declaring US victory.

      And of course there is absolutely no middle ground between open collaboration with the CIA, handing over control of your country’s oil exports and delivering prisoners to the US on one hand and defeating the US militarily on the other. Those are your only options.
      Also no one except Iran has done any resistance, there are no smaller groups that have resisted US imperalism under much worse conditions to draw upon for the types of resistance you could do except shoot at them, no one except Iran has ever told Trump no. And hey, the DPRK isn’t real, and the Houthis are imaginary while we’re at it.
