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.
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 Trump and MAGA 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?
Iran has never been an imminent threat, other than rhe Butcher Netanyahu saying so. A bad actor yes, an imminent threat? Nope, never.
And why exactly is Xi and horrible person? Because he refuses to take bull**it from America? Or is it just the condiitioned carry over from the cold war years?
We have made enemies across the globe by our arrogance and bullying. trump simply has taken the bullying to new heights.
Ray,
You are a piece of work. And by that I mean gullible MAGA dupe and asshole to boot. You can stuff your neo-Nazi "hate this country" bullshit back up your ass.
I saw this coming when I wrote what you apparently DIDN'T even read:
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.
You walked straight into it, Ray. And you seem stupid enough to think that Iranians chanting "death to America" at the urging of their leader since 1979 is an "imminent threat". Look up the word "imminent", bright boy.
Both you and Trump have FAILED to cite any evidence at all of an imminent Iranian attack on America.
And Iranians have NOT "killed thousands of Americans throughout the past few years". More bullshit!
Remember when Trump claimed to have "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program a few months ago? I don't think you do.
THERE WAS NO IMMINENT THREAT TO THE US FROM IRAN. Nobody but Netanyahu and Trump pushed that bullshit lie. Recent U.S. intelligence assessments suggest Iran was as far as 10 years from developing a missile capable of striking the United States, said Mona Yacoubian, director and senior adviser of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank.
Netanyahu has been goading Trump into joining his war all along, but you're too dim-witted and willfully ignorant to have noticed.

“Let’s Just Do It”: How Netanyahu Convinced Trump to Bomb Iran
Here’s the real reason Donald Trump went to war with Iran.
In contrast to President Donald Trump’s vacillating rationale, it appears the United States did not go to war with Iran to wipe out its nonexistent nuclear program, respond to a nonsensical threat to American elections, or implement a poorly conceived regime change.
We did it because Israel asked us to.
In retracing Trump’s unilateral (and illegal) decision to go to war, it’s clear that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spent months lobbying the White House, and Trump’s aides did little to dissuade the president from joining in on the attack, The New York Times reported Monday.
...Discussion about a military strike on Iran began in December, when Netanyahu visited the president’s residence at Mar-a-Lago. Netanyahu asked Trump’s permission to launch strikes on Iran’s missile sites in the coming months.
As January crept on, Netanyahu kept regular contact with the White House, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoy Steve Witkoff. Eventually, the U.S. military presented an expansive list of options for military action.
Netanyahu visited Trump again on February 11, as the U.S. was set to resume negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. But the prime minister was there to ensure the president was ready to go to war, the Times reported.
After the U.S. and Israel launched their initial volley of strikes that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, Netanyahu gushed that Trump had helped him realize his dream: “This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years,” he said.
Now it's your turn to put up or shut up, Ray.
SHOW us the evidence of Iran being "very close" to having a nuclear weapon. SHOW us the evidence of an imminent attack on the US by Iran.
Well, big boy? You think you're smart enough to do that?
"Why Is It That YOU Progressives Love our Enemies and Hate our President?"
Listen, you hateful lying asshole. Trump called us the "enemy within" when the real domestic enemy of our democratic republic is the CRIMINAL president Trump. He's sending his DOJ to confiscate state voter rolls and rig the next election. Like a dictator, HE WANTS TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR ELECTIONS, you idiot.
If you think we love dictators and enemies you have us confused with your malevolent mendacious messiah who can't stop PRAISING insurrectionist thugs, Putin, and Kim Jong Un!!
If you want to call me stupid, you'd better damn well have the facts and verifiable evidence to show why. Otherwise I will delete your neo-Nazi hate and lies.
Nope ray.
If anything it is us, those seeing with clarity, the reality of the situation who are the TRUE American Patriots.
It is the idiots supporting the Anti-Christ trump and the Great Satan and Butcher Netanyahu who are the ones who hate America, its Constitution, the rule of law, and frankly, plain old common sense.
So ray, enjoy your delusions and your 6 dollars gallon gas, higher grocery prices, and this nation's declining influence.
Yeah, "MAGA". LMAO at the idiocy of the trump cult of imbeciles.
But as it ultimately turned out the USA was indeed an imminent threat to Iran.
Les,
You nailed it.
Ray exemplifies the braindead cultists who only show up to insult and cast their idiotic ad hominem attacks against me.
They NEVER bother to READ what is written in order to discuss or refute what I say. Ray imagines himself to be a better expert than Trump's own director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent. Again, he didn't READ the reason why he resigned.
They have no idea what communism is and can NEVER cite where we espouse communism.
We know facts don't matter to a cult built on hate and lies.
These People Are Not Stable: The Modern Democrat Party Is Not a Productive Political Party ...The democrat party should be designated as a terrorist organization. They are determined to destroy the country that made them rich and powerful. Commies suck
Anonymous thinks I'll post his wacko extreme Right, low credibility "World Net Daily" bullshit. LOL!
No wonder he's braindead.
Bob,
Are you TRYING to sound like a Nazi, or are you just that stupid?
Republicans AND commies suck. Idiots don't know what communists are. (They like dictators, just like you and Trump do.)
Just to teach us a lesson, how about you define communism and terrorism, and then explain how Democrats are communists and terrorists?
We'd love to see your "reasoning". LOL!
