Trump’s war against Iran is uniquely unpopular among US military actions of the past century

It’s clear that regime change is among the biggest objectives of the U.S. war in Iran.
“I have to be involved in the appointment” of Iran’s next leader, President Donald Trump said on March 5, 2026.
Trump has also said he might put U.S. boots on the ground to get the job done.
Trump now joins a long list of modern U.S. presidents – from Franklin Roosevelt to Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – who started wars to either overthrow hostile regimes or support embattled friendly governments abroad.
For all the parallels to history, though, Trump’s Iran war is historically unique in one critically important way: In its early stages, the war is not popular with the American public.
SIX:
Well... just wait until more sleeper cells activate, they don't flub their attacks like they just did in NYC, Americans start dying by the dozens or even hundreds at a time and the Legacy Media can't run cover for them anymore.
This isn't a fucking game dude.
You have no idea the peril that your party and ideology put us in.
You will though.
You will.
I read your posts, SIX, and they're head- bangingly stupid. You're the poster child of dumb fucks.
IRAN wasn't sending terrorists around the world, that was our “Arab ally in the Mideast“, Saudi Fucking Arabia.
Iran isn't even Arab. They're Persian. And it wasn't the Dems who just turned Iran into an implacable enemy, it was Dumb Fuck Trump, Fearless Leader of the Dumb Fucks.

Uh huh. 
Just like your picture of so-called Iranian women showing off their legs in what looks to be 1960's fashion garb.
Meanwhile, any pictures we've seen of Iranian women out on the streets marching with pictures of the Ayatollah are covered head to toe with no makeup and no skin showing except for their faces.
Right.

But did you get to the part where the literacy rate among Iranian women is better than the USA's? Where most of the STEM students are women, and women are engineers and doctors and lawyers? Iran isn't Afghanistan where women are practically chained in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.
Did you get to the part where women drive, shop, and work, without being accompanied by a male relative? This isn't Saudi Arabia, where women are still fighting for the right to drive.
It says something about Iran that the thing that women complain about is the dress code, because if that's their biggest problem....

Says who? Why would I believe any of that any more than I believe that we bombed and killed 175 school girls the other day?
I don't believe it, and I have zero reason to.
And with zero resistance just now, you just totally backed off on your claim that this ridiculous picture you posted a week ago has any basis in reality after calling me stupid.
I don't know where (or when) the fuck you got that picture from, but it in no way was Iran today or at any point in time during my life.
And you know it.
And if you don't know it, than you're the one who's stupid. Or you're a liar.
And women in any other country other than America having higher test scores than women here doesn't impress me either. Our school systems suck. Students are passed along to college that can't even read at a 5th grade level or do basic math. And American women are the most entitled and pampered class of human beings in the history of the world. And they still have the gall to complain every single day about how oppressed they are. It would not surprise me if American women were the lowest performing group of women in the entire developed world when it comes to intelligence and knowledge. They don't do STEM here because they're too stupid and uneducated to do STEM. They all go to college for Liberal Arts majors with an emphasis on gender studies and CRT and they get their heads filled with a bunch of Marxist brainwashing and bullshit so they hate themselves and their country and make reliable Democrat Party voters for the rest of their lives.

As it controls the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is now exporting more oil than it was before the war
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Iran is exporting more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, showing it is in control of a strategic waterway that it has closed off to the rest of the region’s oil producers.
As Gulf Arab oil producers from Saudi Arabia to Iraq cut production and scramble for new routes that bypass the strait, Iran is conducting business as usual, according to data from tanker-tracking firm Kpler, throwing a financial lifeline to Tehran as it comes under blistering attack from the U.S. and Israel.
Since the war started on Feb. 28, seven tankers have loaded oil off the Iranian coast, according to Kpler. At least two of the most recent loadings are out of the Persian Gulf, Kpler said. Over the past six days, tankers have loaded a daily average of 2.1 million barrels of Iranian oil, higher than the 2 million barrels a day Iran exported in February, according to Kpler.
Iran’s export levels can vary week to week, but the recent increase shows that, unlike other producers, their shipments are unimpeded and that China hasn’t lost its appetite for Tehran’s crude.

Quote:Actually, it looks like it is time for Trump to declare victory and leave. The Iranians will go back to normal. Ship traffic will go back to normal from two weeks ago, before Trump started killing Iranians. But Trump wants "Unconditional Surrender," meaning nothing will be normal until Trump orders the US military to go home because Iran will NOT surrender. Other Presidents have declared victory and left when the enemy would not surrender. Nixon and Vietnam, for example.

Trump Isn’t Even Trying to Sell This War. Has the salesman in chief gotten rusty?
By Jonathan Lemire | March 12, 2026, 5 AM ET
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/03/trump-iran-gas-prices-eco
nomy/686337/
A year ago yesterday, President Trump turned the White House lawn into a Tesla showroom to try to boost the slumping sales of his then-pal Elon Musk’s electric-car company. A few months ago, Trump declared from behind the Resolute Desk that he was Boeing’s “salesman of the year,” claiming to have helped facilitate the purchase of hundreds of aircraft. And long before he entered politics, Trump slapped his name on just about anything—apartment buildings, steaks, even a dubious for-profit university—to market it to the masses. Trump will sell anything.
He has now made one of the most consequential decisions of his presidency: launching a war against Iran. The conflict, which is well into its second week, has widened throughout the Middle East, sent oil prices skyrocketing, and caused tumult in the financial markets. Yet Trump has not sold the war. In many ways, he hasn’t even tried.
The absence of a sales strategy is all the more confounding when you consider the political stakes. The upcoming midterm elections were supposed to be about the economy. That was perhaps Trump’s most effective issue in the 2024 presidential campaign, as voters grew frustrated with the stubborn inflation that permeated Joe Biden’s presidency. Trump vowed to fix it, but his record over the past 15 months is inconsistent: Yes, inflation has cooled some, but last month’s jobs report was brutal; the president’s tariffs have created confusion and kept costs high; and the economy is starkly stratified—the rich are doing great, and everyone else is decidedly less so. Republicans have been on a losing streak in a series of elections, and poll after poll reveals a clear disapproval of Trump’s handling of the economy.
But there were some real silver linings. Chief among them: gas prices. Ron Klain, who was Biden’s first White House chief of staff, told me a few years ago that the first thing he did each morning while in that role—even before seeing if the president had called—was check the price of a gallon of gas. Bill Clinton was equally obsessed, realizing that gas-station signs were billboards for the nation’s economy. Trump made the low cost of gas a staple in his stump speech and gave it a central spot in his State of the Union address a few weeks ago. It was key in White House talking points for Republicans pitching voters to keep them in power: See, things are getting better. Give us time to finish the job.
That pitch just got harder to make. Even before the war began, most Republicans privately acknowledged that keeping the House would be challenging. Now they will be forced to defend a war that, polls show, Americans didn’t want. Already, seven U.S. soldiers have died, and approximately 140 more have been injured. Tens of thousands of Americans were stranded in the Middle East after the Trump administration did not facilitate their departure—or evacuate government outposts—before Iran retaliated. And, of course, there is the price of gas. The average cost of a gallon has jumped by more than 50 cents since the conflict began. This spike has been the subject of relentless news coverage and, yes, has been splashed across those gas-station billboards. Even for voters who rarely care about foreign policy, the rising cost of filling up their tank has been unavoidable. And more price hikes are likely coming to airfare, shipping, and groceries, just to name a few.
Elections are in many cases won or lost on economic issues. But there are moments when Americans are willing to endure fiscal hardship or accept that the nation will make sacrifices for a greater good. Presidents of the past have made a point of convincing Americans that it was worth it. Franklin D. Roosevelt famously made the case for World War II, and his nation endured years of rations while sending a generation of young men off to battle. George H. W. Bush bu

Quote:About the picture: I grabbed it from an "Iran today" search without looking too closely what it said. So, you're right, this isn't Tehran today. There's an enforced dress code that women and store owners (by serving women without the hijab) violate, at their risk.

The laws on women took a step backward in 2024, when a series of restrictions were clarified or codified by the old Khamenei. Nonetheless, Iran isn't Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or the rest of the Gulf monarchies. It's not India, where women are theoretically protected by law but are dirt poor, can't read, and still suffer from widespread sexual violence and discrimination. Iranian women are educated and work as engineers, lawyers, doctors, and other serious professions.
Iran doesn't behead babies or cut women in half. I dont know where Trump gets his delusions from. Probably Netanyahu. It's not a terrorist state, and I'll bet you can't name a single act of Iranian "terror".
It's not ... or at least, it wasn't ... a threat to the USA. It is now, tho, thanks to Trump starting a war with them and assasinating their religious leader. So if Iran assassinated our President, well, wasn't Trump the one who started down that path first?
No, I'm not a huge fan of Iran's internal laws. But what it looks like to me is that Iran is struggling to develop despite sanctions, and to raise the standard of living for everyone. So, Iran's not perfect ... neither are we ... but that doesn't give us the right to attack and cause widespread death and destruction, and to act like the terrorist state that we are. If we were REALLY concerned about Iranian women, we'd trade with them on terms that would bring their standard of living up.
Oh, and do you know what naval analysts call aircraft carriers, in this day of long range anti ship missiles?
Floating targets.
