    I think the distinction we're looking for now is between "conservatives" and "fascists" these days.

    Yeah, it's a clown show alright, and Trump keeps extending the deadline. Last week he said their pipelines would blow up in 3 days.

    I'm so old I remember when we didn't need the Strait and told the rest of the world to solve the problem.

    The longer that this is drawn out -- the more I believe that this is going to end up in an escalation everyone involved will regret.

    Trump needs to either formally invade with hundreds of thousands of troops or he needs to go home. At this point Iran and USA are like dogs locked up in their homes separate homes and barking at each other from across the street whenever one of them passes a window.

    I am an American and I don't have time for this ratchet 4th grade bullshit.

    Oh, they will start bombing the hell out of them again if Hegseth and Netaynhu get their wish. They are probably just wanting to get the stuck ships out first. Iran isn't going to give them what they want, and they aren't going to just leave.

    Russell Fry (R-S.C.) said that Iran is like a petulant child and Rubio said Iran's leaders were insane in the brain. Those same things have been said about Trump more times than I can count. That's what's kind of funny about it. They do know that right?

    We aren't going in because there was no plan and it requires building a case for it which hasn't happened. The only reason we haven't left is because of pride. They would have to admit that the ****ed up just like all the dumbasses that voted for Trump.

    Trump has already TACOd from his stance of securing shipping in the strait of hormuz that he promised two days ago. He thought the Iranians wouldn't fire on US escorts only for Iran to fire missiles at them. Iran keeps calling his bluff and he keeps backing down. He looks so weak that it's unreal.

    He has no leverage in the negotiations which means Iran will keep their enriched uranium and this war will go down as the worst foreign policy decision of our lifetime

    Talk about a flip from earlier today, when he said Operation Freedom was a matter of life and death for thousands of civilians sailors. I can't imagine what the dinner conversation is at his private garden party tonight is. Stock manipulation, his ballroom, and the new gold Trump logo for the airport named for him in Florida?

    His cabinet spent all day talking about the need for for this operation cuz they needed to open the strait only for Trump to embarrass them within 6 hours LOL. I have never seen a US president look more pathetic in my life than Trump does.

    Fire missiles at a US ship? Woopsie
    Bomb a oil export facility in UAE? no biggie
    Fire missiles at tankers on a route the US navy said was open? Woopsie

    Why in the world would Iran give any concessions? They have Trump by the balls

    I have no doubt that we could blow Iran up. We have the firepower to destroy everything. I also doubt Iran will ever agree to give up everything Trump wants. The problem with that is it solves nothing. We would still have to send in ground troops to take the uranium and Iranians desperate for survival will torture and kill anyone they can. This all started because we decided to bomb away with Netaynhu instead of negotiating better in the first place. I don't see any good outcome now. We've made them hate America more than ever, and it's stirred up a hornet's nest around the Middle East. That, and it's caused inflation around the world.
    Operation Fury was a mistake from the start, by idiots thinking they scare Iran into waiving the white flags, letting them go in, get what they want, and leave.
