    first, there was never going to be a land invasion. This is a boogieman people bring up when they know nothing about the topic.

    second, the US doesnt need to win or lose anything. We have our own natural resources to sustain ourselves. Israel is the problem and the US is using this opportunity for global leverage.

    Lol, when did i say there was going to be a land invasion? i just stated that no way america can end this war on its own terms.

    I agree, Isreal is the problem. but can you please clarify what global leverage you are referring to? IMO, due to the war, america have less global leverage. Russian oil has seen higher demand and transactions, China's yuan settlements has risen fast since the war, especially by middle eastern countries, american bond returns have surged since the start of the war. I don't see how this increases american global leverage.

    America have the natural resources no doubt (oil i assuming you are referring to?), but you guys still does import from the middle east, especially fertilizer materials like urea and DAP/MAP. Modern economies are interlinked, whether you like it or not, and america is a consumer heavy economy. Globally, and pressure is applied to america to stop it.

    You are right, america does not need to win or loose anything, same going for Iran, it does not need to win either. All it needs is to maintain status quo until either the world applies enough pressure on america and/or your mid terms

    If there was never going to be a ground invasion then why was the original stated goal regime change and unilateral surrender. You're just making everyone's point at how braindead and incompetent the government is. Your fellow MAGA @RB713 @tallanvor were cheering on regime change but that required a ground invasion.

    Thanks for exposing your fellow MAGA

    the low IQ Trump regime just needs to take the L and move on

    this entire thing was miscalculated at every turn which isn’t surprising with who we have in charge

    atp, a “win” is getting a deal that isn’t significantly worse than the JCPOA while also making Iran richer and more powerful than ever before

    @astros123 really my favorite dude on here, knowing how much of a clown he is in real life somehow makes his posts even funnier.

    I'm a clown? Dude you dumbasses were claiming regime change was going to happen and your cult hero was going to destroy the regime. I was stating from the beginning of this thread that was a wishful goal cuz there was never going to be a ground invasion lol. I was literally right about everything

    Wow, this cesspool of idiocracy still goes on strong with that low life, fake ass @astros123 spending day and night justifying his sorry ass existence. Just sit here and flood this forum with twitter post. That **** stain on society should have be banned and @Clutch should be ashamed for letting the alt account continue for as long as it has. SMH.

    The president failed to deliver on his Iran bluster, and in the end fooled only himself.​

    The first surprising thing about President Trump’s impending defeat in the 2026 Iran war is that he already fought and won a successful war against Iran last year. In June 2025, U.S. and Israeli air strikes badly damaged the Iranian nuclear program in 12 days of bombardment. Exactly how badly remains controversial. But they didn’t do nothing. If Trump had quit while ahead, he could have banked his gains from last June as a solid if imperfect win.

    The second surprising thing about Trump’s impending defeat is that he does not seem to have cared at all about the only evident reason to resume fighting in 2026: the Iranian people’s rebellion against their brutal oppressors. Trump has never given any evidence of caring about Iranian democracy or human rights. He promised the Iranian people “Help is on the way” on January 13, but military operations did not commence until thousands were dead and the rebellion was already effectively crushed. During military operations, Trump made clear that he sought a deal with the existing regime. He made no effort to support or cooperate with Iranian dissidents before, during, or after the uprising.

    The third surprising thing about Trump’s impending defeat is that even he himself seems never to have understood why he went back to war against Iran. What exactly did he think he would achieve? He kept saying that he wanted to ensure that Iran never developed a nuclear weapon. He also insisted that he had effectively prevented it from doing so in August. He seemed genuinely to believe that claim. If so, why resume the fighting? If, however, those words were wrong, then why not simply hit the nuclear sites again? Why the need for this bigger war?

    Yet not a single complaint about @Commodore @tinman or any other smooth brained MAGA propaganda pushers…:rolleyes:

    You appear to have some deep rooted anger issues to be posting like this on a holiday evening.

    Trump ****ed you all in the ass with no lube I guess I can see why you’re agitated.

    Speaking of holiday posts.....

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonaldTrump

    "Happy Memorial Day to all, including the Dumocrats, who disrespect our Military and all of the tremendous success that it has had over the last year. God Bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

    He just can't stop himself from inserting nasty, politically divisive comments in holiday messages on social media, whether it's Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any other day.

    Only a President like Trump inserts nasty remarks and lies into a Memorial Day message, meant to honor and remember the fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives for this country. Not only that, doesn't he know that Happy Memorial Day isn't the best use of words on a day meant for solemn remembrance of those military members who gave their lives for our country?


    This is the difference between trash and class.....

    Barack Obama
    @BarackObama

    "On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love.

    "It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves."

    You do know there is this thing called the “ignore” feature here right?

    And Andre is right that you are proving your post is disingenuous by not also including the other spam accounts that spew right wing propaganda and hate 24/7.

    Trying to work Clutch to see if you can muzzle anti MAGA speech is pretty pathetic. This all coming from the party of “free speech absolutists.” Give me a break.
