Not spoken so much about the War or what he thought would happen every single day over the course of 4 months.


Now it just seems like we wasted our time, money, and lives while he talked a big game just for example the "unconditional surrender" talk.


Because the bottom line and reality still lie with the nuclear weapons, and there isn't one person here, or anywhere else in the media, that know if what we did or will continue to do will stop them from achieving that goal.

Like anything else only time will tell.

For now, I'll call the whole thing a push. Didn't help us, didn't hurt us.

BS, no matter what Trump does he will get backlash. No troops on the ground, that is the most important thing. the rest is gravy.

The only gravy is no nuclear weapons.

I have a feeling they will try harder than ever now.

We all were fooled including the administration into thinking with all the civilian protests prior to the war, that they were close to toppling the regime if we just pushed the envelope a little further.

He is transparent to a fault. But we can't have it both ways.

I agree with this.

I rather the transparency, but as you said it has its downside.

Especially in this Iran situation.

I could easily be wrong but I will go with Tulsi over people/institutions that have lied to us repeatedly over the years.
Not sure why Trump appointed her if he wasn't going to trust her. Unless it was political payback and nothing more.

Bullshite. The admin cannot just claim ignorance and expect to be viewed as competent.

There are professionals in the intelligence community for a reason.

Exclude them and become fooled…

What specifically do you mean? I read the IAEA has said Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.

"building a nuclear weapon" is the same wording as the questions Tulsi was asked.

No, they're not building a nuclear weapon, they were just enriching uranium well past the threshold (3.5%( needed for power generation.

They have/had almost 1000 pounds at 60% enrichment. Which (we've heard it for years, I know) is just a few technical steps from weapons grade. About 2 weeks, for real.

So they're not building a nuclear weapon, they're just enriching uranium to weapons grade and have missiles with a hollow nose cone that a nuclear warhead can fit into.

Yeah...I don't think that's true, and I don't know why you wouldn't already known that.
The information is readily available and easy to access.

Do you have the Google?
Is someone nearby that can help you?
A caretaker of some sort?

I’ve said before DJT’s propensity to talk smack has often led to unnecessary problems.

But ….DJT has always been a smack talker.

Hell, that’s an aspect to his personality that endears him to many - that he has no problem in saying what’s on his mind.

DJT is who he is. There’s nothing new to his personality and by the time someone reaches older age in life, especially 80, you’re going to be who you are.

As a Trump supporter, I’m already on record (via previous posts) that I’m very skeptical to the success of this “deal”. I don’t like it.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not rooting for it to end up working and being great.

I don’t care about my own opinion ultimately being “right” or “wrong”, I just want the best for our country (as I would think and hope most of us do).

We use MOUs frequently. They aren’t an agreement at all. It generally defines what both sides understand and agree on.

Many many MOUs don’t end up with a bonafide agreement as a result.

He handled Iran like he did the China virus. Daily pressers are too much.

For those who believe US Dollars can be printed and handed out without being backed by value, and that there are no consequences for that, then it didn’t hurt us.
