“You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. The whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory — must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
“O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
(After a pause.) “Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!”Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]

Is the Iran War the Greatest Strategic Defeat in American History?
There’s a new poll out today showing that “Trump’s war in Iran” — and it is his war, let’s make no mistake about that — “is as unpopular among Americans as the Iraq War during the year of peak violence in 2006 and the Vietnam War in the early 1970s.”
I am not much of a poll tracker. But the Washington Post story about this new polling caught my eye, not only because I’ve been watching Emile de Antonio’s excellent 1968 Vietnam War film In the Year of the Pig on the Criterion Channel, but also because I keep running into statements like this one, from Paul Krugman’s Substack (30 April 2026):
Trump’s ego is so fragile that he can never admit losing. He cannot bear to face up to the reality that he, more or less single-handedly, led America to the greatest strategic defeat in its history. So he desperately wants to extract concessions from Iran that would lend him a fig leaf and allow him to claim victory.
Krugman is right about Trump’s “fragile ego,” but surely he needs to be more measured when it comes to what counts as the greatest strategic defeat in American history. He’s not alone. Mitchell Plitnick dedicated a whole podcast to the idea in early April. And this isn’t just a slip of Krugman’s pen. A few paragraphs later, he doubles down: “America,” he writes, “will have suffered its worst strategic defeat in history as a result of a completely gratuitous misadventure to please Trump’s ego.”
The American war in Iran might count as the quickest strategic defeat in our history, and I’m not going to deny that it’s already having and will continue to have serious geopolitical consequences. (I found the HC Commodities podcast interview with Doomberg clarifying on this point). But I have a hard time seeing how this war should count as a greater or worse and more humiliating strategic defeat or a more costly blunder (strictly in terms of blood and treasure) than Vietnam.
At the end of his podcast, Plitnick hedges on this point:
It is about as great a strategic disaster as you can imagine. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, I mean they all pale before how stupid this was, despite the fact that they went on for years and years and year, and cost more in terms of lives and more in terms of money, because they went on so long. And that should not be minimized and in no way am I trying to minimize that. But when we talk about a strategic loss, about a strategic disaster, this is the biggest one in US history, and it was all for nothing, all for nothing.
What I take from this is that the war in Iran should count as the biggest or the greatest strategic defeat in American history because it may turn out to be the stupidest strategic defeat in American history.
There is no getting around the stupidity and recklessness and pointlessness of it all.
But I still balk at this application of the superlative to Trump’s Iran disaster. Is Krugman really asking us to start from the founding and work our way forward, ranking strategic defeats*? No, he appears just to be riffing. He never bothers to argue the historical point, never even mentions Vietnam or other examples.
Superlatives may make good clickbait, but they can also be very slippery: in just the two examples I’ve cited here, greatest can mean quickest or it can mean stupidest or maybe it can even mean most consequential. That’s unclear. Superlatives tend to muddle thinking about history, where clarity counts.
Talking about Iran as the greatest or the biggest strategic defeat in American history may score some political points, or drive some online traffic. But in this case hyperbole carries a cost. It distorts both past and present, and it can dampen political will (signaling that there is no recovering from this greatest of all defeats) or exacerbate the historical amnesia from which too many Americans already seem to suffer.
And it’s still early days, too early to judge. Trump’s war in Iran is only two months old, and the American public already appears to be decisively against it. It wasn’t until after the Tet Offensive in 1968, a full four years after the Gulf of Tonkin debacle, that public disapproval of the Vietnam War began to reach these levels, as this chart (made from the same Gallup data used by the Washington Post) shows:
That comparison all by itself is a pretty damning indictment of Trump’s war. And maybe that means a good number of Americans — not all of us, but some of us — have learned a little something from history after all.
N.B. 2 May 2026: In a conversation with Greg Sargent on The Daily Blast podcast (and published on Krugman’s Substack blog today), Krugman backs away from the superlative:
The celebration of a guy who is an absolute disaster at presidenting—he has led, more or less single-handedly, on his own decisions, his own faith, his own judgment, he has led America into one of our worst strategic defeats in our history. He took on this relatively small military power in Iran, figuring that he could destroy the regime and install his people in a few days, and he lost the war.
*PS 10 May 2026: Robert Kagan comes close to doing just that in the opening paragraphs of his new piece in The Atlantic. Though he never reaches for the hyperbole, he argues that the defeat in Iran is in a class all by itself and of tremendous historical import, a signal event in the unraveling of the American-led postwar order.
#defeat #EmileDeAntonio #greatestStrategicDefeat #hyperbole #InTheYearOfThePig #limits #Peace #power #recklessness #superlatives #warDefeat in the present confrontation with Iran will be of an entirely different character [than in every other American war Kagan lists]. It can neither be repaired nor ignored. There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done….the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure.

“Netanyahu’s 'total victory' to total flop”
by Robert Inlakesh in Al Mayadeen English
@[email protected]

@iran“Promising annihilation, dominance, and total victory, the Israeli leadership has found itself in a predicament no closer to victory on any front. Tactical victories sold as strategic ones have been exposed; instead of meticulously planned operations, Tel Aviv engages in aggression without any discernible long-term strategy to achieve its stated aims”

#Orban just up and politely, sincerely conceding his loss was not on my bingo card for today. I assumed he'd lie and point and distract and justify and, and, and... like the USAnian Toddler-in-Chief.

A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige. He may be a positive or a negative nationalist — that is, he may use his mental energy either in boosting or in denigrating — but at any rate his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations. He sees history, especially contemporary history, as the endless rise and decline of great power units, and every event that happens seems to him a demonstration that his own side is on the upgrade and some hated rival is on the downgrade.

Tragedy of the West: Sacrificing Ukraine & Rules-Based Order
#Russia unable to force #Ukraine surrender after nearly 12 years of #war, #genocide, but less than year in office, #Trump is close to #coercing Ukraine into accepting #defeat via pseudo peace deal
Backing #Kremlin demands to Ukraine & #Europe, he is enabling Moscow to #weaponise peace against Ukraine
At its core, Trump’s proposal legitimises Russia’s unprovoked, illegal aggression

He that falls obstinate in his courage — Si succiderit, de genu pugnat — he who, for any danger of imminent death, abates nothing of his assurance; who, dying, yet darts at his enemy a fierce and disdainful look, is overcome not by us, but by fortune; he is killed, not conquered.
The most valiant are sometimes the most unfortunate.
There are defeats more triumphant than victories.
[Celuy qui tombe obstiné en son courage, si succiderit, de genu pugnat. Qui pour quelque danger de la mort voisine, ne relasche aucun point de son asseurance, qui regarde encores en rendant l’ame, son ennemy d’une veuë ferme & desdaigneuse, il est battu, non pas de nous, mais de la fortune: il est tué, non pas vaincu: les plus vaillans sont par fois les plus infortunez. Aussi y a-il des pertes triomphantes à l’envy des victoires.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 1, ch. 30 (1.30), “Of Cannibals [Des Cannibales]” (1578) [tr. Cotton/Hazlitt (1877)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, twice around 400 BCE.
After the surrender, the Athenian Ekklesia (assembly) soon divided into three camps:
* supporters of a “patrios politeia” (ancestral constitution),
* preservers of democracy,
* proponents of oligarchy’.
Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BCE, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all the affairs of the polis.‘The Thirty initially avoided drafting a precise constitution. Instead, they sought to: a) establish a functional interim government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws.’

You know, it don’t take near as good a man to be a Candidate as it does to hold the office. That’s why we wisely defeat more than we elect.

Nothing is more detestable than disgrace, nothing more shameful than slavery. We have been born for glory and freedom — let us either hold on to these things or die with dignity.
[Nihil est detestabilius dedecore, nihil foedius servitute. Ad decus et ad libertatem nati sumus; aut haec teneamus aut cum dignitate moriamur.]Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
