There is extensive literature on this… buying smaller is often not an option. There is a significant mismatch between the building patterns of the major construction companies and the demands of the population. Basically, they stopped building anything less than 1400 square feet… and those are increasingly rare.

In some areas, zoning regulations force them too. In other areas, they know there’s no competition, so if they just build bigger, people have to buy bigger, and they make more money on bigger.

So no, buying smaller is often not an option.

Zionism isn’t a religion. At least, it’s not supposed to be.

As a Catholic for Trump, picking a fight with the pope was fricking stupid. While it won’t be anyone’s deciding factor on whether or not to continue supporting Trump, it was still an unequivocal own-goal, pure and simple. Basically the entirety of our community agrees
Canada was about to elect a conservative until Trump fricked it up
King Charles has visited Germany, Romania, France, Kenya, UAE, Italy, Vatican City, Canada, Australia and Samoa.


Did the UK submit to all of those countries too?
If it’s for the two weeks of the negotiations, that’s certainly acceptable to get a lasting peace.

If it’s a new permanent norm, then we screwed the pooch big time. That would make Iran one of the five most powerful countries in the world.
Ayatollah Khamenei’s son is the new supreme leader of the country.


You cannot credibly argue for regime change when you are changing out a father for a son. Especially when that son is even more pissed off because you literally just killed his father, his son, his wife, his mother and his sister in the preceding month.

The only argument for this being a new regime is that this one hates us even more.

What about the countries in the Middle East who supported us every step of the way? They are the ones who would now need to get their entire domestic agendas approved by Iran in order to keep their economies operational (in the scenario where Iran assumes full control of the straight).
We need to know the terms of the deal before acknowledging this as a mission success.


If Iran gets permanent control of the straight, as they requested in their ten point proposal that we are negotiating from, then they become the de facto hegemon of the Middle East. That would not be a win… it would be utter humiliation.


If Iran gives up their uranium and fricks right off back to twiddle in their desert alone, then this will be the single most successful US military operation since WW2.


Any outcome between those two extremes are still possible, depending on the results of the peace negotiations. Until those are concluded, everyone needs to stop proclaiming certain victories or humiliating defeats. Everyone is just guessing. The next two weeks are when the winner of the war will be decided.
Very obvious truths. Our military was designed for power projection in Cold War politics… it is not well prepared for a modern war.
You’re making it too obvious that you get paid to post here
This sounds like a horrible idea


But I’d like to see it explained by something other than this AI slop
