> President Trump said Friday that he is ready to use the U.S. military to resume strikes on Iran if peace talks in Pakistan are not successful. >“We have a reset going. We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart,” Trump told the New York Post.

As an outsider this is what Trump looks to me, he wants to be this big w***** of wars and grand diplomatic achievements marking the way for US superiority for centuries to come, it's why it's always about him and his achievements, and how he is the centre of it all. Don't think he realises that being a selfish c*** doesn't make that happen, the world will watch the US closely for years after this shit show.

We totally destroyed them already, that’s why last Tuesday we were going to totally destroy them. Except we didn’t have to totally destroy them because there was a ceasefire. Except there was no ceasefire. But this time, if there isn’t a ceasefire we are going to totally destroy them. Got it?

June 2025: Trump declared "total obliteration" of Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities. Got angry at reporters and his own intelligence agencies for even suggesting otherwise. Total obliteration! March 2026: Weeks away from getting the bomb.

Strategically Iran MUST call his bluff again, at least one more time, I'm pretty sure they know that and won't bend on their terms yet. I definitely don't trivialise the loss of life that will result but cannot see why Iran would negotiate under threats when it's abundantly clear if they take a little more short-term pain they get a clear upper hand.

I am with you on that. It started chipping away the more I learned from the 2003 Iraq invasion, then watching after our actions created ISIS, the response to COVID, no justice in regards to the terrorists on J6, and now all of the stuff that has happened in less than a year. My service to this country has been rendered useless and devoid of purpose.

To say Trump's brain is oatmeal would be an insult to oatmeal. His single brain cell is focused on squashing news about the Trump-Epstein files, so anything else that happens in the world at his direction is based only on when and how many times he crapped his pants in a given day.

Who is he even threatening if Iran is completely unphased by the bombing? Bomb away, the strait will remain closed with each and every bomb only serving to reset the clock on when the strait will open. Which seems to be Trump's goal, him, his oil buddies and Putin seem to want high oil prices

If he tells you what he’s doing, he’s most certainly not going to do that. Possession is 9/10th of the law. Just now the US authorized the release of Iran’s frozen funds through South Korea.

The Iranian regime do not trust Trump at all, first he pulls the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal, then he attacks them in the middle of negotiations. Then in the middle of peace talks he threatens to wipe out the whole Iranian civilisation. I think the Iranians know Trump won't stick to any deal.
