That clearly doesn't include Iran, KSA, Oman, or any other country.
From the OP
"At the end of this whole thing, those countries that we've protected are going to
pay us back any and all costs that we've had for the war "cause without us, they wouldn't exist.
It means all countries. None will pay.

Most of the country has. Reality tv presidency has gotten old.
I thought we saved America from inevitable Iranian nukes so why would Israel need to pay us?

It’s like Trump was in a bubble all this time with tunnel vision thinking Americans love being in unnecessary foreign bullshite. And then midterms come around and he realized nobody wanted it so he has to make some tough statements like we’re going to cut off money to Israel……….. and now we’re going to make them pay it back. Does even one person here believe that?

Wanting our only partner and supposed ally to reimburse us is Proof that he really believes it was all a big mistake.
Some say this is the dumbest post trump has ever made.
And posting it as if it’s a positive thing! Lol
Totally moronic

Sounds like something that should have been agreed to before the money was spent.

By asking Israel to fully reimburse us for the Iran War (I don't know if he will even formally attempt to do that) it is an admission that it had nothing to do with our own national security. Because if it did have a fricking thing to do with our own national security why would we be asking Israel to pay for it?
Not really.
It's an admission that we were defending Israel, but that's never been a question in anybody's mind who has two working brain cells to rub together.
The question I have always asked and no one has ever answered is, "What is your understanding of the global effects of a nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel?" Not between Iran and the US.
And since we're sharing what we're not surprised by today, I'm not surprised that you couldn't wrap your mind around that. Since I've asked you specifically that question at least 15 times and you have never answered it.
The dumbest thing about the isolationist narrative is the refusal to acknowledge that things that happen elsewhere affect us, even if we're only talking about secondary or tertiary effects. Therefore it's still in our best interest to prevent them from happening.
Yeah, Israel was going to be the direct losers in the calculus. Anybody who thought otherwise is kind of a retard. Iran doesn't want a nuke to launch at us (although I wouldn't put it past them at all to funnel material to a terrorist group so that they could hide some kind of dirty bomb in a hotdog cart and detonate it in Times Square). It was always about nuking Israel.
But back to the question again.
What's your understanding of the global effects of a nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran? How would it affect us?
Because it would. You'd best believe that. That's why keeping Iran from getting a nuke is the only thing I can think of that every POTUS since 1979 has agreed upon.

It only proves it in a political sense.
Y'all aren't still laboring under the delusion that when Trump makes statements, he's saying anything other than what he thinks his audience wants to hear, are you?
If he abruptly withdrew from the theatre, THAT would prove that he thought the whole thing was a mistake. Just talking about it differently means that he thinks he miscalculated about what his audience wants to hear.

So will he admit we went to war on Iran on behalf of Israel?
I think he just did.

I don't get this.
Is there anybody who didn't understand that from the outset?
Is there anybody who really thought the reason that every POTUS since 1979 has agreed that Iran can't get nukes is because we are afraid of them launching them at us?
I can't believe that it's not obvious to everyone that the calculus is Iran and Israel using them on each other, tens of millions of people in the entire region dying in the initial strikes and afterward with the fallout, a nuclear winter ensuing over the region causing a famine that we would doubtless be called upon to provide relief for, oil production being severely curtailed and shipping disrupted (you think $6 diesel and $5 regular is a problem?), the global economy experiencing a free fall, our own stock market crashing, etc., etc.
All the secondary effects.
People actually thought we went over there to stop Iran from firing a nuke at us?

If someone said that I guess that's what they believe. Did someone say that?
