@matt47871 @CannonTROU @Pro__Trading Oh yeah I get you. I think about half way through typing that I realized there is no way I can say something for certain using logic with this admin anyway, so it's as good an idea as anybody has atp

Sure because war is ugly. Nobody "wants" war.
So being enthusiastic about it seems like a foolish measuring stick.
Nobody is "enthusiastic" about war.
You can both recognize that this was the right decision and still not celebrate that it's happening.

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

@matt47871 @CannonTROU @Pro__Trading The Iranians have been begging for a land war. They are embedded in mountain ranges. Afghanistan on steroids. Nobody in their right mind would think this would sway them. But then again look who the president is so who knows
English
@CannonTROU @ClintBot2026 @Pro__Trading It could be a negotiated tactic. Trump has to know that this is going to be a disaster if he goes through with it.

@Rogo653 @george32949213 @FeistyLibLady The jobs and unemployment rates are totally fabricated for starters. I could look in to the rest for you later but please do some research on this nearly 1/3 of Americans don't have jobs currently 😂

@george32949213 @FeistyLibLady Not happy about gas prices, but the rest are promises Kept... You might not like it but true...

Is Trump putting America First?
When Joe Biden left office gas was $3.13 a gallon, now it is $3.94.
When Joe Biden left office beef was $5.50/lb, now it is $8.00/lb.
When Joe Biden left office a barrel of oil was $70 a barrel, now it is $116 a barrel.
When Joe Biden left office a ton of coal was $116, now it is $146.50 a ton.
When Joe Biden left office a one pound package of white bread was a $2.00, now it is $2.69.
Oh yeah and he promised no wars.
Joe Biden was an all around better president than Trump.

@MarioNawfal The Islamic Republic has missiles that can reach Europe.
Europe has no defense against missiles - other than whatever is on the Ford aircraft carrier group.
Maybe the story about a fire on the Ford was fake - an excuse to move to a better location to defend the EU.

🚨🇮🇹 Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on the Iran war:
"I am forced to know things that no longer let me sleep. For what could happen in the coming weeks, for the effects it will have on the economy and on our daily lives."
If the people reading classified briefings are losing sleep, that's not a good sign.

🚨🇦🇪🇮🇷 Satellite images reportedly show fires at 2 pumping stations on the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline, the route that lets Abu Dhabi ship crude without going through Hormuz. If that’s indeed what Iran hit, this is bigger than a disruption. They may be going after the escape route U.S. allies use when Hormuz gets messy. They’re not only threatening the chokepoint, but they’re targeting the workaround too. Source: Soar Atlas

@scorehopeful @KrisPatel99 Oh man this guy is gonna be homeless in a few months sucking cock to eat after this economic wave hits. Pray for him guys
English
@KrisPatel99 Saving face?!
@KrisPatel99 what do you not understand about destroying the whole navy, military air and missile defenses and INDUSTRIAL BASE?
Their damage is not even close, maybe firing 1-2 missiles to scare shipping maybe looks a win for Iran to you.
English
More signs that the current situation is closer to being over...
You don't talk about getting drinks afterwards while playing poker unless you're almost done playing.
At this point, I think its safe to say both Iran and the US are looking for off ramps while saving face.

@MB_Hogan @Stockspy1 Do you genuinely not understand that crude oil is a global commodity and all the oil in Venezuela does fuck all for pricing for the US consumer? This country is fucked
English
If boots on the ground happen, it may be in a very limited way. I don’t see a full scale invasion happening, do you?
Strait seems messy indeed. Europe and China and Russia may have the greatest economic interest in keeping it open as the US is mostly oil independent now with Venezuela/domestic production as I understand it. Of course caveat being the flow affects prices globally to some extent!
My understanding is that Iranian officials were developing nuclear capabilities underground w/o allowing inspections and admitted to having enough 60% enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs (90% is weapons grade). Is that accurate?
Thx for your comments! 🤝
English
My read on this is Trump is done with this war. He never intended for there to be boots on the ground. So the choice is now simple for Iran — open the strait and agree to no nuclear weapons or the US will destroy all their oil/energy and just leave, which will be so economically devastating for Iran it will probably be the end of the Islamic regime anyway.

Do Americans have any idea how Arab and Islamic media outlets are celebrating this guy? Al Jazeera is portraying him as a hero.
If your heroes and Al Jazeera’s heroes are the same, then you’re not America First, you’re more of a “death to America” kind of guy.

@adhdrunsme @ChrisMurphyCT Yes God forbid he publicly inform us on what is actually going on versus the president who has declared victory 18 times in 4 weeks with no end in sight.
English
@ChrisMurphyCT It's so weird you are like rooting for your own country to lose a war. It's actually sickening.
English
Here's the problem. These are all "tactical" objectives. They are not strategy. Because there IS NO strategy.
1/ Let me take these "objectives" 1-4 to explain - based upon what I've learned in briefings - why we are badly and embarrassingly losing this war.
Department of State@StateDept
SECRETARY RUBIO: Here are the clear objectives of the operation. You should write them down: 1. The destruction of Iran’s air force 2. The destruction of their navy 3. The severe diminishing of their missile launching capability 4. The destruction of their factories 🎯

@DahlquistEileen @ChrisMurphyCT Trump took 337 million us dollars from Miriam adelson and has spent the last month hanging with two Israeli assets at the white house mulling this over (graham and Cruz). I would urge you to look in to this further as it is becoming increasingly clear what is happening
English
@ChrisMurphyCT here's the problem. you hate this country & are in the pocket of Iran terrorists & you don't even live in the state you represent! you act like a rabid ferret jacked up on crack with your hand wagging & head bobbing......bottom line I have NO support from my state in DC

Two things are true:
(1) Israel must improve its Christian-specific P.R., and the Pizzaballa incident yesterday was another unfortunate unforced error.
(2) If you believe this was anything other than a bureaucratic mishap, you fell (again) for a deliberate disinformation op.

9 million attended the “No Kings” protest against President Trump.
No protesters were killed.
Millions of Iranians protested the Ayatolla and the Iranian Regime.
Over 30,000 were killed.
They were shot by snipers.
They were hanged from cranes.
Do you see the difference?

@TheSaurus831 I lean right but I couldn't agree more. MAGA is entirely composed of Israeli misinfo agents and absolute marks at this point. The good news is I can assure you that it's dead in the water. Now about getting this admin out of office and in to a cage

@exitIiquidity @SilentlySirs If this was all you needed to defend against 30k drones then do you mind explaining to me why the US and Israel are spending 4 million dollars every single time a missile is taken out? I mean are you a bot or are you an Israeli disinfo agent or are you fucking retarded?
English
@SilentlySirs Couple things,
1) They launched flares because Iran is out of actual missile launchers and all they have left are ineffective brokie poverty drones
2) Dubai spent a few racks intercepting the flares, not $100m
3) Do your parents know you’re a retarded homosexual?
English
“Iran carried out a deception in the skies over Dubai, costing the United Arab Emirates around $100 million.
Iran allegedly launched a missile equipped with flare decoys, prompting air defenses in Dubai to fire hundreds of interceptor missiles unnecessarily, reportedly depleting about 50% of their defensive stock.”

@stebco_eth @allenanalysis 94% of our sitting US government takes money from Israel. I can assure you the other 6% is taking it from somewhere else. All so foreign countries can profit off our tax dollars. This isn't a Republican or Democrat issue, this is a system of corruption run by crooks

@allenanalysis republicans have lost the plot....this is getting bad for them

🚨Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York.
Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump.
Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave.
These are not protesters. These are veterans. People who served. Who buried friends. Who know what war costs because they paid it personally.
They looked a Republican congressman in the eye and said what they thought.
He called security.

There is still no negotiation or exchange of messages between Iran and the US, and all the information published about this is fake. Iran's decision is to continue the war until the goals are fully achieved and the conditions are fulfilled, and this will continue for as long as necessary. The armed forces are ready for an intense war for at least 6 months. There is a consensus in the political atmosphere about absolute distrust of the US.
