1 - you can't compare this to the Nam war [ which was unwinnable and not a loss ]
The Trump admin is living in delulu land and will lead to the biggest damage and humiliation the US will have experience since the Vietnam war if they do not let actual adults not being blackmailed by Israel take the lead.
-----
also during all of this the Doj has released documents in which Trump is being credibly accused of sexual assault btw, what a incredible timing.

It will be interesting to see who is more incompetent Iran or Israel/US over the next few days.
2 - easy to say who is more competent and it's definitely not Iran ......tiny tiny Israel [[ who was at a great disadvantage and outnumbered in all categories with a narrow front ]] defeated her much larger enemies --ALL together !
3 - even with some of the highest oil and NGas reserves in the world, Iran's economy has been going down since 1979! and is in the dumpster now --and they are running out of ----- WATER!!
4 - their decisions are based on a suicidal medieval religious ideology = failure
5- they [ Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran,Libya, etc ] are really not ''countries'' as much as tribes where the strongest [ not the smartest ] survive ...... their politics and culture are coups, bloody coups, terrorism, suicide !!, murdering not one, but MANY political opponents, etc etc
== some of the proof is in how they [ all combined ] can't even defeat tiny tiny tiny Israel, etc etc
