Iran is the exit ramp gate keeper. Israel and Trump assassinated a shit ton of religious fanatics, within a religious fanatic government. They have zero inclination to work out a deal with that orange reality TV a******. None.

Literally. And every time Trump says it's won and we're almost done, next article says they are talking about boots on the ground. That will be disastrous. We will not win. It's like no one in this administration knows the topography. We spent decades in the middle east before. Like JFC.

It's all about how much money they can steal, grift, and manipulate into their pockets. The Iraq war and recently, Covid, were the test runs.

Iran is the closest geography to Mordor on the planet. I honestly think I’d rather invade Nepal, even with the Ghurkas.

I guess jokes on everyone...There are no more exit ramps and we're all on this Highway to the Hell. Last stop was November 5, 2024. /s

Iran has a bounty in trump and they also said anyone involved is fair game. They specifically named tech companies like Google, Microsoft, open AI etc... . I don't support Iran but I can absolutely see the strategic standpoint of going after those people and companies. My point Is this doesn't end with just trump they want everyone involved.

Yeah sure. They're also the world's largest exporter of terrorism (if you exclude all our allies in the region too) and they're happy to go after civilian targets. I suspect they won't because they see Americans are against the war - they can.usr that to their advantage. If they bombed a US grocery store, suddenly most of the country would want boots on the ground in Tehran...

All of these articles pretending like there's an offramp for a war you started...

“Pressure Builds”? This thing where mainstream news outlets insist they don’t editorialize in headlines yet it’s just assumed here that Trump or anyone in the GOP experiences ‘pressure’. I expect this from Daily Beast or something. The BBC? Ugh.

Couldn't agree more. Everything is said in a specific way to not piss Trump off.

Trump might " like" young conservatives who voted for him but he has no problem with using them for cannon fodder nor does he care if they can afford groceries. The only people Trump sees as having functionality for him are people who deliver opportunities for grift.

I think we can end this war tomorrow if we just give Iran trump, and be like, our bad have a gift. Then justt maybe, we can try n set shut straight.

No. Give them all of them. Vance, Trump, Pete. The whole lot. Half, at least, of the Dems, too. Start over.
