"Winning"

 


Let’s bask in Trump’s framing of his glorious war as it has developed so far.

1. “We won!”

2. “We’re winning!”

3. “Send help!”

“Meet the new Khamenei, worse than the old Khamenei.” "Sorry/not sorry about those schoolgirls. But, hey, we'll 'investigate' the bombing of their school, so deal with it". 

So far Putin seems to be the war's biggest winner with the rising prices of oil.

Hegseth's threats of more war crimes like, "No quarter", and Trump's stupid demands like "unconditional surrender" won't win this war. They won't even take us closer to negotiating a ceasefire.

Meanwhile in America and Europe.

Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent resigned, saying: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

All of Trump’s insults, bullying, threats, idiocy about annexing Greenland, wildly arbitrary tariffs, etc. directed at allies are bearing their fruits. Even the Wall Street Journal gets it:


A majority of people in Canada, the U.K., Germany, and France now say it’s better to depend on China than on the U.S. under Trump. 

Yes, this is what "winning" looks like.

And now it’s time for the American people to pay Trump’s war tax at the gas pumps. But rejoice in the good news that someone’s celebrating that economic burden on Americans. "The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money”.

 


Will "we" really "make a lot of money"? 

But be of good cheer, America.  Trump’s gas prices, impending rise of inflation, and likely recession are all GOOD for America, and it’s our patriotic duty to shell out more of our money for his noble and wise war. And while we're at it, let's send a few more $billion to Netanyahu to bomb and win the hearts and minds of his neighbors.

This is what "America first" is all about.

Just remember MAGA’s admonition if we don’t support Trump and his war. Failure to cheer for our Tangerine Tyrant will mean we’re all “traders” who hate America and support the Iranian theocracy.

When have they ever been wrong?

Dave, we're still stuck with why we are there. I agree with most everyone on the planet... the leadership in Iran are/were bad people, horrible people. But so is Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un. But we're not attacking them, nor did we during the Cold War attack the USSr and their dictators.

Why Iran? Because Trump said, the USA faced an imminent threat from them.

Now we have Joe Kent, the Trump appointed head of the National Counterterrorism Center resigning. Why? Read part of his statement...

"This echo chamber was used to deceive you [America] into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie..."

Let me translate this for the clueless folks here who see all criticism of POTUS Trump as hate for America.

Kent, again, a Trump appointee, is saying the imminent threat Trump used to justify the Iran view, is a lie. And he is willing to resign rather than go along with the ongoing lie.

Conservatives used to say if someone was in an Admin and resigned rather than support stupid policies, or even lies, they were a patriot. Let's see how Kent is viewed over the next couple of day.

Dave,

Thanks for the sanity.

Sadly the question "why?" no longer matters. This should have been asked and explained BEFORE starting a war. Of course Trump has no good reason why. It was purely at the behest of Netanyahu.

Are You Stupid. or just Dumb, do you deny that Iran was very close to having Nuks? Or don't you care? Or maybe you don't care if those Terrorist Idiots Nuked us?

You Leftists really mist Hate this Country. , But you surely Love the Progressive Communists don't you!

To say that Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, is pure Nonsense, When someone says “Death to America” You need to believe them , especially when you have a Mad Man who shoots a nd KILLS thousands of his one people, and Killed Thousands of our American Soldiers throughout the past few years as well

PRESIDENT Trump has offered PLENTY of reasons for the strikes and has denied on claims that Israel forced the U.S. into it.. House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested the White House believed Israel was ready and determined to act on its own, And Trump’s decision was an easy one. The last 4 Presidents wanted to eliminate Iran but none of them had the courage to do it.
To say “ That there was no credible evidence of an imminent threat from Iran that would justify rushing the United States into another war of choice” Is absolute stupid, Especially that coming from the Supream Leader who was a Mad Murderer. ! Why Is It That YOU Progressives Love our Enemies and Hate our President?
