Iran very happy...today they are the only ones able to export their oil...well done Trump...they are looking to rake in lots of cash having countries pay a toll on every shipment running near them...

It’s a strategic movement backwards.

US already won the war so it’s a victory parade trip back!

Taco Trump. He has enriched himself and his friends by manipulating the market.

Until the market shrinks when people realize the Strait of Hormuz is permanently closed (or at least heavily tolled). Iran isn’t going to relinquish their chokehold without getting major concessions.

The sooner the better. It's all downhill.

What? No! The US needs to fix this BS. Can’t just run. There must be an adult in the US that can figure out a way to resolve the conflict without leaving an Iran that will be more radicalized and confident than before. Its not ok to leave a mess like this.

theguy1336 Apr 1, 2026 +1
It wasn't ok to start it, just leave Iran alone. What you are saying is exactly what a corporate Democrat who'd win would say as an excuse, unfortunately. "Well we never wanted this but now we HAVE to continue it, it is with a heavy heart..." Same excuses during Iraq and Afghanistan for years.

TheRuneMeister Apr 1, 2026 +1
What I’m saying isn’t anything like that. What I am saying is that if the US leaves now with no resolution of any kind, it will be the sons and daughters of other countries that will have to be deployed to ensure the safety of the strait. I’m not saying I want a military solution to the issue…since that is what got us here in the first place. Find an adult that is actually remotely qualified to enter in to talks with Iran. (ps. the US started this in 1953…it is about time the US understands that all this is of their own creation)

theguy1336 Apr 1, 2026 +1
Gotcha. I just think Iran solves it themselves if the US leaves them alone. Why does a western imperialist country need to intervene? The strait was fine before the US started killing children in Iran.

TheRuneMeister Apr 1, 2026 +1
A western imperialist country doesn’t need to intervene…but it did…and now we are where we are.

>There must be an adult in the US that can figure out a way to resolve the conflict without leaving an Iran that will be more radicalized and confident than before. This will never happen as long as Trump is president.

Trump may have hit Iran’s capabilities, but he hasn’t solved anything. He may have damaged some infrastructure, but he’s also strengthened the case inside Iran for rebuilding, hardening, and walking away from negotiations. That’s less a strategy than kicking the hornets’ nest and hoping the swarm gets tired. A pretty clear demonstration of 1/4 D chess.

His entire Presidency...his entire LIFE...is about breaking stuff and leaving others to pick up the pieces.

Say what you want about him, but he might honestly be the most successful con man ever. I've never seen someone able to just completely mesmerize the whole of the lower IQ bracket of our population.

It is truly amazing how he's spent 60 years screwing people over and yet there is always someone else who thinks "he won't screw me over". I will never understand how he manages that.

Smaynard6000 Apr 1, 2026 +1
This has to be true. Trump is like catnip for stupid people. I don't f****** get it, but the rubes eat this shit up.

In other words “We’ve lost.”

I thought there wasn't ever a deal anyway, the guy said unconditional surrender, or did he meant the US will unconditional surrender.

Maligned-Instrument Apr 1, 2026 +3
We won't have a deal.  He'll tell MAGA dummies he made a big, beautiful deal and they'llbel8eve him... but yeah, no deal.

This winning…this type of winning might be too much for me.

The good old flipping over the Monopoly board so you don't officially lose strategy.

Trump likes to pull out of everything but underage girls.

Yeah, abandoning an invasion without a deal is called “losing the war”

We’re going to TACO straight into a preemptive nuclear strike. Our foreign policy is the equivalent of a drunk guy violently slamming into walls because he can’t walk straight.

I’m ready for him to chicken out and leave. He’s done enough damage everywhere.

PunkDrunk777 Apr 1, 2026 +1
I dont get this. Withdrawing without a deal is a huge loss? Does he think this is an Ukraine deal where no deal leaves Iran wanting? I’m lost here

I just don't understand why anyone would be surprised? He's literally bailed or bankrupted everything he's done yet somehow convinced a bunch of morons he's a great business man. The problem here is America has always bailed his sorry ass out, billionaires and the wealthy take more handouts from our country than the homeless, but will president Obama come out of retirement to fix this huge pile of shit trump and the cons have steered this once great country into.

I find it strange that Australia and UK prime minster both did speeches tonight which weren't much in detail but said we are not getting involved. 2 nations of the 5 eyes who probably have the details if a land invasion was about to start from the USA

It’s called being in over your head.

This is a man that wears a diaper, meaning someone literally cleans up his poop. Is it a surprise to anyone that he expects someone else to clean up this mess too? It’s too late though… as long as Iran can threaten the Strait of Hormuz they control it. It’s either invade, capitulate, or pay them off. Trump will have to choose one.

AdHopeful3801 Apr 1, 2026 +1
I'm sure he'd pretend it was a grand victory. But better a withdrawal than an escalation.

ProgrammerOk1400 Apr 1, 2026 +1
So what the f*** was the point in being there in the first place aside from your Epstein distraction?

That’s called losing a war Donald

pongomanswe Apr 1, 2026 +1
So, like, retreat?

Made_Human_Music Apr 1, 2026 +1
Since the war was started to distract from the Epstein / Trump files and to appease that war pig Netanyahu the mission has been a success The inevitable mess will be for the next president to deal with. And if it’s a Democrat of course they’ll get all the blame as always
