We should never have had a ceasefire. We should keep bombing them until the surrender unconditionally.

I would say the past 50 years on Iran hasn't been great.


If you can get rid of the radical Islamists in charge then we are better off, if not, we are in the same place.



Oh, and gas is still cheaper than under Biden.

You guys should know better.

We haven’t even begun to fight.

Iran is running out of chances.

Gas under $2.50 by year end.

If that's truly what you EXPECT and you will still not believe him, then I SUSPECT that this was always your belief since the first bombs were dropped. A total surrender by Iran would somehow not change your mind.

I think it ends when it ends and when that turns out favorably the whiners will whine about something else.

1. A negotiated agreement that significantly limits Iran's nuclear program (best-case, but uncertain).

1. Is the outcome that DJT has sought since the inception of this endeavor but understanding from the very outset that this may not all go according to plan. However, "SOMETHING" had to be done. Trump moved when we simply had no choice and Iran was weeks away from a bomb. From the beginning everyone wanted this to last no longer their attention may one or two days, (unrealistic) and now every time Trump ramps up everyone bitches and screams and when Trump ramps down or gives peace a chance by pulling back everyone bitches and screams. There was never an easy way to do what Trump is doing "unarm, defang and destabilize a bunch of crazy arse jihadist who had come awful close to developing a nuclear weapon, and who were just weeks away from a nuclear bomb that they couldn't wait to blow all you simple fricks up with. Go jump off a bridge or something you'd get better results than continually bitching about something you obliviously can't comprehend.

I think that he's given them all the rope he's ever going to need. I think he hoped they would take the out and negotiate but they're too insane. So now the world is going to have to accept what comes next. Which is going to be limited invasion. Kharg Island is going to be ours before this is over because they are too stupid to avoid it at this point. They don't have control of their military so anything they agree to some goat enjoyer down by the coast can blow up with a drone with a hand grenade taped to it.

I think Zelensky is going to somehow pull himself into this with another strike on a ship in the Black Sea. China will continue to send in MANPADS and such while denying it.

We will slowly walk our way towards the cliff that at this point I don't really see how we avoid without losing the midterms. If Trump is just tapping them along now and remains tit for tat through the election we could still win and then he can open the full can of woopass on them. But there's more going on here than we are privy to.

Russia is getting their jimmies rustled and at this rate will probably have to nuke Ukraine to stop the war. I don't think Ukraine is going to stop till they get back Crimea and I don't think Russia is going to be willing to do that. And we might have to nuke Iran to get them to stop as well or to really deal with Pickaxe Mountain.

I think the dominoes are going to fall how they always were. Trump's just the tool. We're going to full and open WW3 for everyone to see vs the WW3 we've been in since Covid.

Overall, I trust his instincts. He is almost always correct. There is more going on then we know publicly. My opinion is Iran will never honor a cease fire, so bomb the crap out of them. I think part of the strategy is to get the rest of the Middle East on board with the Abraham Accords. If that happens, it will totally isolate Iran, and the Middle East allies will be able to defend themselves.

We probably still have posters that will argue that we aren't currently and never were engaged in a war with Iran to begin with.

If we know China is lying about sending more missiles, we need to free up those shipments to Taiwan and start packing that thing with missiles.

Camden Arkansas should double in size soon from all the shifts at those missile plants getting fired up. We could triple our production very rapidly if we truly chose to.

Shitty. Dumbest thing he has done as a President. Legit contrary to his prior promises and goes against one of the main reasons I voted for him.

No excuses here. But I’d still rather have him than Biden or Kamala. By far.

There were reasons why previous Presidents didn't engage in a war with Iran.

Iran can’t be trusted

And trump said we obliterated their nuclear capability in June 2025. I believed that.

Until he said we needed to do more

I won’t believe him again.

This should be obvious. People can't fathom that other people can dislike Biden and also criticize Trump. I don't see how that's a difficult concept but for some people it is.

Those of you that are big time MAGA / Trump fans… how do you think he is doing with Iran? Is everything great, or is a change in strategy needed?

Where do you think this ends up at year end?


The current US vs Islamic Regime military conflict was an unnecessary misstep on Trump's part, I'm not blaming Israel like many on this forum do.

Trump's a big boy and he had to know the most important job facing the Trump 2.0 administration was crushing the Deep State/Bureaucratic State and other enemies from within........we're burning daylight.

Israel had an influence but I agree that Trump could have just told them we weren't getting involved outside of a defensive capacity.

Please enlighten me on which proxies have a navy or fighter jets or the fire power to take on the US military -

The only difference between this Iran war and the war in Vietnam is Trump had a plan and actually got out of the Vietnam war.
