Considering the war in Iran so far, do you think that the war will be worth the costs or not worth the costs?

The war will not be worth the costs.

The war will be worth the costs.

[Smashingdoozy]

Wars are never worth the cost.

[WellBye]

It wasn't worth it on Day 1.

[lightbulb27]

That's hard to estimate but in general, Iran is not flexing and we don't have the power to take them over. So only a deal is possible.

I suspect the costs are exhorbitant in humanity...

I wouldn't have started it, but I'm not looking at the information the prez has. Clearly, they have the ability to deliver missiles a long ways and mess with the middle east. Clearly they wanted a bomb. who knows if they were cheating, but probably were.

But what would they do with it once they got it? Can the world tolerate nuclear Iran?

Lots of folks have bombs. the only solution is defense shield.

eventually, millions of people die in an instant. that seems reality and awful. If it prevented that outcome, is it worth it... vs the starvation this likely causes?

tough call...

I expect that the whole middle east region will be better and that the US will end up with a very lucrative oil deal.

[Asker]

I expected the US will end up losing and the oil will cost even more. The US has effectively lost even at this point and you can see how much the oil costs by going to your local gas station. Your cult leader has fucked everything up again.

All the smart money is on President Trump

[Asker]

Nobody is betting on Trump for anything. Not Wall Street, not the illegal markets, not the probability markets. Nobody. You are kidding yourself and wasting your money if you're betting on Trump.

[exitseven]

Wall Street absolutely is betting on Trump. Two of the three indexes closed at record highs today and the DJ closed above 50k all on the premise that the end is near for Iran

[Asker]

That does not constitute betting. It constitutes short-term gains, which you don't realize.

[exitseven]

A bet is a short term gain

[Dargil]

How much should we spend to avert nuclear annihilation of Israel in the gulf States and in the USA. Even China knows Iran is a danger. They need our oil and food.
