Will the Iran war damage America, whatever the outcome is?

Question

It seems like whatever happens it will be a loss for America.

There has already been billions of dollars spent and oil is skyrocketing- at a time it's not needed.

America has shown it can't protect it's middle eastern allies, who won't be happy with the attacks on their infrastructure, and kight question why they're paying America a lot for protection.

Even if the Iranian government is overthrown, the country will be in a complete mess, and civil wars will most likely follow- like what's happening in Iraq.

So I don't see any positives in this war.

Of course their paying America a lot to protect them but does that money where does it go it doesn't go into the Armed Forces the people who are protecting them it doesn't go to our government whose pockets is that money going into yes it will damage us because they will take that money and it will disappear and then the American people are going to pay their tax paid money to rebuild Iran because now we have to be nice once we are bullies and all the lies that were being told on the reason why we did what we did no matter what America will lose because it's all about greed the American people will lose not the politicians not the people making the money it's the American people

Already has. Middle East countries don't trust and know they can't rely on America. More countries want to join BRICS and get away from dollar. We have used up munitions now , so we could not stop China from doing anything they want. We have lost our bases in Middle East and they don't want US to come back. Iran is shutting down world economy and Trump caused it by attacking Iran with no plan. US has lost Billions in planes and assets. if we end up in a world depression , it will be all on Trump. Trump has used Dollar, Aid, and Tariffs along with sanctions to force countries to give up assets.

Nobody really knows for sure yet what the outcome or future will be like but I have a feeling it will probably do more damage than good.

Trump should have waited until Iran lobbed a missile into Paris.

America is not for the people... America is for the corporations

you say there's a lot of money lost, and yes... that's because you're a regular person like me

but all of those millions and billions of dollars are actually feeding corporate America and Europe, as well as others...

they are the ones waging these wars and making a profit, so this is not a loss for them... at all

There will never be a good time for oil prices to rise

At this point the only win for America would be to destroy the regime and take all the oil while the country struggles to get back on its feet

Yes it’s a dirty business but ultimately it’s the lesser evil

Some stolen oil is a fair price to pay to end the tyranny that is the Islamic Republic of Iran

Of course, the credibility is gone. And the story isn't even over yet. But we already know that this Iran war was as unnecessary and uncoordinated as Bush's Iraq war. Remember, "weapons of mass destruction, east and west and north of Baghdad"? All BS.

The Iran war has already damaged the USA. And about 50 other countries. At this point the rest of the world views the USA as a peer of Russia and China is looking like the good guys. We have zero credibility left. Why would anyone enter into a treaty or a trade agreement with a bunch of lying back stabbing assholes? Thanks MAGA and Cheeto Jesus.

Its too late. The reputation of the USA as a reliable trusted rational allies was damaged the moment Trump was reelected. This war is just further painful confirmation. The rest of the world just shakes their heads and thinks "is this the best you can do USA?"

Well face the music guys cause as a result of this and also what we did in Venezuela and are currently doing to Cuba we are no longer going to be seen as the worlds leaders. we are no longer that beacon of democracy. This is a turning point for American hegemony in the world and i think we will not recover from it. Why on earth would anyone trust us again?

It's already benefited America greatly and the benefits will just keep coming. It's clear you are losing, thus why you are so unhappy, but you hate America so it's good when you lose. You're the enemy.

strateguy632 · Answer

Yes it already has but benefits will be bigger, more good, as a guy wrote iran neighbors see iran is a threat to them and will buy weapons from us. America.

jshm2 · Answer

It already is.  We need to start thinking about his war as the fall of the united states of Israel. As the USA has lowered itself for Israel.

It is having a negative effect now but if it was not done now it would be a bigger deal a year or two in the future.
