Trump was the only President with the balls to do what needed to be done. If it was left up to most of these Nancies who claim to be Maga. They would probably drop off a pallet of cash to placate the Ayatollah like Obama. Like a bunch of pudds. If Trump just started a war with no plan or objective. Then I could understand all the complaining, but that isn't what he did.

Possibly.

However, even if it was a certainty that they did not, you would still be team Iran.

Not even close to the correct point of view.
Arabian countries led by Saudi, US, Venezuela, Iran and Russia produce 90+% of global oil. Globalist have used much of the revenues to control the globe….
Who’s controlling it now?
Saudi and other Arabian countries fluffed his first term
Venezuelan and Iran oil is being stripped from globalist control to its citizens

Much different than anything we’ve seen before…

PS- this isn’t a money grab by Trump, it’s a realignment so sovereign countries can control their assets, not the globalist..via their installed dictators..

The man in his first term sat down with XI for dinner and told him we just hit Russian bases in Syria with 60+ tomahawk missiles. Are you serious? Trump has never been afraid to strike anyone.

He's playing, HIDE THE OIL from C H I N A! Trump is taking out the trash, something former presidents promised to do but never did. Trump has NOT gotten us into a "forever war" like former presidents. Let the guy do his thing then judge him after he's done playing chess with the world.

By every definition.

This second term has been a terrible disappointment.

I was ardently opposed to our post-9/11 military interventions, and boy did we ever waste blood, treasure, and the good-will of our fellow man across the world.

However, I actually find myself in agreement with the current military intervention into Iran.

If you run the geopolitical calculus it makes sense on balance. Militarily, China is currently stuck in a sort of neutral footing following Xi Jinping’s political missteps following his paranoid purges of his top military generals. Russia is bogged down in Ukraine.

Success in Iran would help to reassert the United States as the dominant military power of the world, and cement our economic control over the vital trade-routes through the region, while finally eliminating a key vassal state of China that has been a constant thorn in our side for decades.

2016 Trump would have bombed the frick out of the Iranian leadership, killed most of the ayatollahs and their military leadership and then called it a day. Just like he did with Soleimani.
2026 Trump is Netenyahu's cuck, its very sad to see the decline.

The Solemani situation was slightly different than the current operation(s). Do you really not understand the quite significant differences that make the approach to each almost wholly separate and distinct, or are you trolling my white arse right now??

No you dumb mother fricker he should have factored in elections in ‘26 and ‘28 and this ain’t gonna help that at all. Economy matters more to voters than fricking a war in Iran.

Trump said Iran couldn't be allowed to have a nuclear weapon when he came down the golden escalator in 2015. But people only care about the soundbites they agree with.

When the Barbary pirates were attacking our ships and enslaving Americans, VP Jefferson wanted to fight, but others wanted to be weak and pay them off, and that's what happened.

When Jefferson became president, he sent "gifts" in a merchant vessel to the pirates, escorted by 6 navy vessels with the instructions to attack anyone that "appears to be a threat."

What happened next was an asskicking that cemented the legend of the Marines. I prefer Jeffersonian foreign policy. Any country that harms or threatens an American citizen should quickly understand why that is a bad idea.

America would have never become the power it is if our forefathers were as timid as many conservatives.

It really seems like many conservatives have lost the sense of American greatness. They want us to just be another country in our corner of the world.
