    So come home and declare total victory even if only the cultists believe it.

    Glen has both the knowledge of what is going on and the courage to stick with his convictions. This greatly pisses off the bi-partisan foreign policy establishment which nearly always prefers war and completely demonizing both the the enemies de jour (Iraqis, Iranians Russians, Chinese etc etc) as well as any opponents of their wars.

    That and the cultists who swear they aren't Trump loyalists, but defend everything he does. Ring a bell?

    If we were playing that old game of hangman I'd be saying, "Give me a G, give me an h" or "Give me an S, give me a t" or "Give me an O, give me an s."

    Give me a ****ing break. Glen spent the entire election campaign claiming Trump was the peace candidate and he'd fight back against bibi even though he was Israel's b**** during his first term. Glen is a whack job who goes whichever direction the wind is blowing

    He may make mistakes like anyone else. Supporting Snowden was not going with the flow. I don't know, but does Greenwald still claim he was right that Trump was a peace candidate.

    Iran is the new North Korea, just not isolated because they have all that oil to sell. It's not going to end, just kind of freeze into place. Russia and China and friends will keep trading and buying Iranian oil, while the USA and Israel will keep glaring very resolutely at Iran and anybody who is friendly with them.

    Maybe when Trump is not around anymore? But probably not. By then everybody will have figured out how to survive the "new normal" and won't be anxious to upset the apple cart.

    I bet we're still seeing some frozen version of this conflict in 10 years with no formal peace deal.

    The cost of making a "bad" deal (the only kind of deal Iran is willing to accept because you tried to half-ass it by unleashing shock-and-awe on a bunch of hard-ass psychos who have no F's to give rather than putting in the work and paying the price), excedes the cost in political capital of kicking the can down the road.

    I don't think they have the appetite to put boots on the ground, but if they have any chance at the nuclear piece that is NOW the main talking point, I dont see how you avoid it. IMO he will pivot when he is bored, and all of a sudden, the nuclear piece wont be THE thing and his sheeples will buy it.

    He thought this would be super simple, but didn't realize this regime will suffer like nobody`s business..............the regime is like a dang cockroach

    I do see a huge bombing campaign before he gets bored so he can tell us again that he set them back decades...............like he did last time

    LMAO at the clown's new definition of ceasefire.


    In the Oval Office Wednesday afternoon, a reporter asked President Trump how he defines a ceasefire, given continued conflict with Iran.

    "Pretty much the way it is," he said. "That's a different part of the world. You know, I'd say in that part of the world, a ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner."

    Word on The Street is that "ceasefire" is such an old fashion word that was not popular until Trump started using it.
