Trump said the nuclear sites were taken out so there should’ve been no exchange to worry about.

And they received new intel to the contrary.

That happens, you know.

I'll take that as confirmation that that's where you're headed. You can have it.

And remember, if the world were really spinning like "they" tell you it is, you'd fly right off.

Considering the totality of the intel, and how bad everything else we received was, why are we still putting so much stock into this one slice of the pie?

Israel's intel on Iran leading up to this war has been proven laughably wrong basically everywhere else

He could tell his goobers that a hurricane would hit South Dakota and they would willingly give up their freedoms and allow rising gas prices.

Only conspiracy theorists think the military industrial complex would lie for more war

It’s interesting see certain posters go back to 2008 style circling the deep state - military complex wagons when it’s convenient.

It would lead to global nuclear war, and nuclear detonation will lead to a global exchange.

Promoting globalism, no less.

At least in the GWB era, he engaged in the most anti-globalist behavior basically in history (ignoring the UNSC and invading Iraq illegally) on the way to his bullshite

You think Russia would go nuclear over Iran?

They are barely helping Iran in an actual conflict and are on the verge of losing their proxy

We just had one retard try to make "oil speculators" a tool of "globalists" while ignoring how Iran was one of the few defiant anti-globalists states pre-war.

"globalism" is MAGA word salad

Every single President has called Iran The Axis if Evil and they can never have a nuke

We now have a President that did something about it and now he's the boogieman

Damn if he does, damn if he don't

I'm thankful we have a President that finally did something about it and in 10-15-20 years down the road, history will look back and also appreciate what he did

So what, I'm temporarily paying a few extra bucks for gas.. small price to pay for everything he has done for us

Getting rid of woke DEI shite, eliminating them cramming LGBTQ shite down our throats, exposing all of the fraud, dismantling the Deep State, trying to precent Communism from taking over our country, bringing patriotism back to our country, etc etc etc

Is he perfect? Noo.. does he say dumb shite sometimes? Yup, but that's why I like the guy.

Sit back, close your eyes and imagine if Kamala Harris won.. just sit back and picture where we would be at today if she would have won - it's frightening

Trump has been a disaster in his second term. Some great things domestically, but the overhanging stench of his foreign policy taints everything

Good point. We'd probably be dealing with persistent inflation and stuck in some stupid war in the Middle East.
