What Is So Difficult to Understand About Unconditional Surrender?
Iran might go to this surrender baby-tantrum style but they will still go. What other option do they truly have?

As the Iranian war comes to a head -- one way or another it is going to end soon -- the Iranians state they refuse to surrender or even negotiate under threat. I understand their desire, but sadly for them, reality is stacked against them.
As an analogy, imagine having an older brother who wants to physically dominate you and make you cry uncle. Many have had this experience. You don’t want to give in. You want to fight back. But sooner or later you will cry uncle or your brother will tear your arm out of its socket. That doesn’t do it? Then he’ll do the other arm and then move on to other targets. Trust me, sooner or later you are going to surrender. Just the way it is.
The Iranians find themselves in a similar position. They want to fight. They want to say no. But sooner or later the pain will become too great and they will surrender. Food, clean water, and electricity will soon be far more important than this or that revolutionary slogan.
Of course, they don’t want to do this. Does anyone really think in WWII Imperial Japan and Germany willingly surrendered? Or that they were happy about their reality? Heck no. Did many want to fight to the death? Sure. But unconditional surrender was the only way to stop the pain, so they chose that over complete and total destruction.
Iran might go to this surrender baby-tantrum style but they will still go. What other option do they truly have? Regardless of what our Iranian-cheering media and Democrat traitors might be telling you, this war is effectively over and has been for weeks.
