The MAGA cultists can’t see how executing a foreign policy in the interest of deranged zionists is a sure fired way to downgrade what’s left of the American hegemony in the world.

Bro, that might be what’s happening in the minds of crazy people, but for what it’s worth, that definitely ain’t what’s going on in real life.

Put the Israel issue to the side for a moment. How does this benefit the average American?

The new talking point is we’re finishing off a war that started 47 years ago.

The new talking point is whatever Trump or one of his cabinet members says at any given moment. The 47 year thing is completely asinine.

Lessen or to a degree eliminate a primary source of instability in the world geopolitical balance, which influences global trade and economic climate, which somewhere down the line will eventually affect everyone, to varying degrees;

Eliminates a primary impediment to what otherwise could or would potentially be truly historic peace relations and treaties amongst former foes in that part of the world, which again, presents new opportunities and economic relations for American interests to have access to;

Eliminates a primary impediment to OPEC oil production/operations/trade etc, which as we all know can and will eventually affect all of us on a local/personal level “at the pump”;

Oh, and lest I forget, I absolutely believe that Iranian Islamic regime when they have and do say death to America, which has been one thing when it’s historically been just shite talking, but very much realistically gives me legitimate concern if and when that same bunch of Islamic haters are possessed of long range missile technology, not to mention the very realistic possibility of that same long range missile technology one day having a nuclear payload. Eliminating, or otherwise setting such a program back many years is certainly a key part of this, IMO.

ETA….This is just a rough outline of some “reasonably realistic” possibilities. And as you mentioned, they are separate and apart from “the Israel factor,” which to each his own on that, but for me that factor carries some relatively significant weight in my overall view of the matter

But that wasn't a problem anymore, because Trump said that Iran's nuclear capabilities were totally eliminated in 2025.

So why'd we just frick up the oil market for the whole world?

Wouldn’t need to destroy it if we’d kept the deal where they were forced to ship 95% of it out and enrichment was capped at 3%.

Fact of the matter is Bibi didn’t like that deal because it was diplomacy between US, Iran, Russia, and Europe. We let him come bitch to Congress. We undermined our own diplomacy. Reverted back to sanctions. Then shite escalates and we take out Soleimani.

Massive gamble with no long term plan & at this point will be seen as a historically epic diplomacy fail.

So glad we get to mow the lawn every decade now & just dig the hole deeper.

You will not destroy the uranium without boots on the ground. Didn’t have to end up this way.

Bro, there are probably 2 billion Muslims? And they control a LOT of oil. All the sane people in our government right after ww2 absolutely agree with me and warned against this asinine alliance. Great men who helped win ww2 were destroyed over their objections so I reckon we shall continue until oblivion?

You and I have greatly differing interpretations of what was meant by any such statements etc. IMO it doesn’t even make common sense to conclude that they intended some sort of “forever” or “for good” type conclusions in that instance.

Trump flip flops like the wind.

Tomorrow he will be saying something totally different.

I don’t think we’re going to find common ground in this area, but I do feel inclined to point out the needlessness of my snarky tone towards you in my post to which you replied. My b.

Why are people surprised about this? From the very beginning he said they were planning on it lasting about four weeks. *Checks calendar* Yep, timeline checks out.

Did people actually expect that he would advertise all of their plans every step of the way? No, that would be stupid. So yes, he says other stuff in between, but he said at the outset they were planning on four weeks.

Because Iran was two weeks away from deploying nuclear tipped ICBM’s that could reach Baton Rouge.

It’s always two weeks.

In most cases they proactively hope that it actually doesn’t work out, however one may personally define “working out” in this case. But they’re so extensively dug in on their very publicly displayed vitriol and naysaying about Trump and everything about him and his administration, and because they’ve moved so strongly all in on that stuff, they’re so invested in his hopeful failure that they truly couldn’t care less that they’re simultaneously openly routing for hardships for their own selves. Wild.

No it isn’t. Your imagination has gotten the best of you and you’ve greatly exaggerated it in your mind.
