‘It’s not clear why we started a war with them. I have no idea’: America is fighting a war its own voters cannot explain​

According to a report by Reuters, just one in three Americans supports the war in Iran.

With the war now entering its fifth month, fatigue amongst the American population is starting to mount as the war continues and the Trump administration fails to make its goals for Iran concrete.

While support is still high among Republicans, Democrats, and independent voters largely disapprove of the war, with most voters still confused as to why the U.S. is attacking Iran in the first place.

As the conflict continues, the U.S. Army faces its prominent threat: public opinion.

AI Overview

The United States lost 31 Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers during the Vietnam War, with 17 to 18 lost directly to enemy combat action—primarily from Soviet-supplied surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). Most combat losses occurred during Operation Linebacker II in December 1972.

Combat and Operational Losses

• Total Losses: 31 total airframes destroyed or written off (17–18 in combat, plus operational or training crashes).
• Linebacker II: 15 to 16 B-52s were shot down during the intense 11-day Christmas bombing campaign over Hanoi and Haiphong.
• Primary Cause: Soviet-designed SA-2 Guideline surface-to-air missiles.

Key Factors in B-52 Vulnerability

• Predictable Routes: Early in Linebacker II, bombers flew fixed, straight-line headings to targets, allowing ground radar and SAM crews to anticipate paths.
• Tactical Adjustments: After heavy initial losses, U.S. planners altered tactics to vary attack headings, use better electronic countermeasures (ECM), and regain tactical surprise, causing losses to drop sharply.

JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just PUMMELED Iran's Strait of Hormuz extortion network through new sanctions against two IRGC-linked firms

Bessent isn't holding back right now

BESSENT: "With its economy in freefall and inflation in the triple digits, the regime is desperate for cash. The United States will not allow Iran to hold global commerce hostage or use international shipping to finance the IRGC’s terrorism, aggression, and repression."

TREASURY: "Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated two firms integral to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-backed extortion scheme that forces commercial vessels to purchase mandatory maritime “insurance” to transit the Strait of Hormuz."

B52's are easy to shoot down, the Veitnamese knocked a bunch out of the sky.

The all-inclusive list of 103 B52s lost comes directly from the Boeing Company attrition files. Covering the period covered from 1956 through June of 1994. 19 B52s were lost in combat, all due to hits from SA-2 ground to air missiles. 86 B52s were non-combat losses. Approximately 50 of the 86 were lost between 1965 and 1973 during the Vietnam War era. Approximately seven B52s were lost while attempting to reach North Vietnam on combat missions. They were lost due to various factors such as mid-air collisions enroute to targets. These missions are described below.

We smoked NV's entire air defense network during the Linebackers until they were totally at our mercy.

Relatively few were shot down by enemy forces. And we smoked North Vietnam in the process driving them to the peace table. We could smoke I-ran now too if the Arabs were willing to take the hits in return. As it stands I-ran is getting its ass kicked but nothing like Iraq did. One week of bombing their electric grid, their transportation/communications network, their oil production assets....ect would force them to the table for real.

Instead were playing the long game and relying on the oil blockade "which we never should have stopped" and once we start forcing those oil pumps to shut down because they have no place to store the oil then its just as good as bombing them. Oil infrastructure forced to stop are pumps that will most likely never pump again. Even they understand this.

Trump needs to get on TV and make his case for the long game. We cannot allow these deranged lunatics to develop nuclear weapons. And they were close. How close I could tell you, in detail, but I dont feel like typing more and its a lot of information most Americans dont even want to hear in the first place.
