Ah yes, the 'strategic misjudgment' of not bombing Iran into the stone age. Classic armchair generals on Stuff.

So the US & Israel have been bombing the crap out of Iran for weeks and suddenly Iran has the upper hand? Sounds like cope.

Meanwhile my petrol prices are through the roof and I'm just trying to get to work. Can everyone stop fighting for 5 minutes ffs.

mate, cos we all love paying $3.20 a litre for 91. Bring on the peace treaty already.

Interesting analysis. I think people underestimate Iran's asymmetrical capabilities. Proxy forces, cyber warfare, Strait of Hormuz. It's not that simple.

the Iranian bot. Go on then, explain how they win when their infrastructure is dust.

Maybe if the US spent all that military budget on education and healthcare instead, they wouldn't need to keep invading countries. Just a thought.

Can someone explain to me why NZ is even involved in this mess? We're thousands of km away. Let them sort it out.

Aria Wilson2026-07-12T23:18:06.000Z

the US is our ally and we're part of Five Eyes? But I agree we should stay out of shooting wars.

Yeah nah 'strategic misjudgment' is what happens when you elect a convicted felon as president. Iran's been playing the long game.
