Don’t need to listen to this garbage from this dude
This clown general is always parroting government lies, trying to sell war to ordinary hardworking Americans.
Nah Trump qill TAco, master market manipulator anf fraudster and chief
It didn't work the first time, why would it work a second time?
Still stuck in the 1970’s keep on imagining and fantasizing, the US already lost the war 250 years ago. Learn your Italian culture which it seems you know nothing about.
Let's build our renewably powered global economy fast and together…removing oil as a strategic global resource. We also need to stop illegal wars through personal accountability and return to international law.
Trump admins BDSM so bad that they want their jack@sses handed to them twice
Good luck with that hope America gets its ass kicked
Bought and paid for by (you know who) unfortunately I cannot even mention them
Don't fight for a country that hates you. Sincerely a veteran
This old man Stuck in foolishness and self-deception.”
failed general lost iraq and afghanistan
send your kids to the strait general
I love how his primary war aim–to open the strait–is exactly the condition we had before the war started. Congrats War Hawks! What an amazing success this war has been.
Did we go to war with Iran?
Put this idiot in a nursing home
I really believe that most of these 3 letter agencies are the biggest threat western people face regarding their freedom. Because they want it all and more. For your so called safety….
war monger. how about the U.S. giving up its military bases in the region.
Another war monger. Always trying to sell war. We need these guys out
No guilt yet for an elder criminal.. still thirsty for blood

Warmongers never learn.
It is incredible how multifaceted these topics have become.
One can alter the outcome of battles, day by day, through military-technical, production-related, psychological, or cybersecurity factors.
Furthermore, the individual participants in the conflict are subjected to economic pressure.
It is almost impossible to react that quickly—certainly not once the initiative has been lost.
Wow
Sounds pretty lame and close to defeat for the US if all that get is reopened strait?
So, 6 weeks of war, huge economic crisis for the world, 24+ billions in military costs.
What’d be the achievement?
The war did not start to open the strait. It was open before.
And what would Iran get in return?
Frozen assets and a reputation in the region to be the new bully in the block?
Well done guys
Let's trade them not funding Hezbullah with not funding Israel. Let's trade opening Hormuz with ending all sanctions. Let's trade their weapons-grade uranium with a new JCPOA inspection regime and forcing Israel into the NPT. Let's trade their commitment to not attack their neighbors by withdrawing all US and Israeli military Mossad from the GCC. How is that not fair, how is that not equitable? If the US is NOT an imperial empire why would this not be reasonable?
I’m hoping that .U.S. military leadership resides in others than DecDef Hegseth who clearly isn’t in the same class as Petreas
This general 😮😮😮 have studied war in wrong schools.
Which weapon company does he sit on the board of?
There is no victory in Iran. The victory was torn up in 2015. You never fight a war against people who don’t have car payments. We never learned that. 😊
Iran does not have to block the straight of hormones to keep it closed. Ron does not have to sync a ship to keep it closed. By the way, it’s Apple‘s voice to text that keeps on saying a straight of hormones and it keeps on saying Ron instead of Iran. Congratulations Mr. Cook. All Laurent has to do is attack one ship. Now Iran is Laurent. At any rate, all Iran or Laurent has to do is attack a ship and the street is closed. Not the street the street. Oh boy.
He’s a war monger
Neocon ass.
He didn’t forget to kiss an ass of Orange Moron. It becomes a ritual with guys associated with Wall Street
China 🇨🇳
An all out war with Iran will probably result in an embarrassing result for our very expensive military that was built for a different kind of war.
So basically, the top priority for winning is to get back to the status quo from a few months ago.
Any country leader who wants to go to war should have a family member in the first assult wave.
Iran was attacked illegally twice, its had numerous people illegally murdered, not forgetting the 170 school girls.
This idiot ex general talks crap, the only real terror country is the USA.
We need China to step in and tell the yanks no.
Let Iran charge tools, the USA has caused a lot of damage and it needs rebuilding.
The GCC need to kick out the yanks and move to China who at least are trustworthy and put business first.
This guy never say anything correct! Last time I heard him he said it will take years to Finish ISIS! Thank you President Trump two weeks!
