re: Trump considering winding down military operations in Iran

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”;

In the short term we have literally had the exact opposite effect. We don't know what will happen long term. I'm optimistic that there might be a way out of this and things return to normal. Other than my optimism there isn't anything to suggest that will actually happen.

How about you quote or link the full transcript of the statement(s), so we can ensure that you’re not conveniently referencing only bits and pieces, ignoring other indispensable context.

It matters if none of them are true. And if certainly matters if this shite turns sideways and it it certainly could. And you could argue it already has.

Only to you people who find fault in everything he does anyways. So I'll reiterate, no, it does not matter. Your opinions about the things he says or does do not matter.

I just think it’s dumb to actually believe that anyone of actual importance has parroted “two weeks, two weeks” over and over again. It’s pure OMB TDS myth.

if Trump leaves, I suspect all those military bases in the middle east will be shut down.

Sure, that’s a fact of life. Yeah, some people think you’re delusional. Probably maybe someone out there could hypothetically think Im delusional. It’s just one of those things in life, always in the background.

President Trump: “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!”

our goal.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “Based on everything we have seen — and I’ve seen it all — our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission.”

Yeah, obliterated what they had in that moment. Im sure they wouldn’t have fathomed the possibility that folks would be out here needing to be directly told that “And by the way, it’s not like somehow suddenly impossible for them to start back in an attempt to rebuild.” I wouldn’t think I’d actually have to specify that “rebuilding - possible and in fact likely” and “rebuilding = bad.” Intentionally avoiding or ignoring common sense facts and concepts is a bad look.
