Trump killed 50 of Iran's top leaders, did at least $1 trillion worth of damage to their military equipment and infrastructure, totally wiped out their naval fleet and air fleets, put their government in a state of endemic internal conflict, and left them totally incapable of meaningfully attacking their neighbors in the region any time soon. By the end of it, all Iran could do is rig the strait with mines and take pop shots at passing ships.
The loss of insurance coverage had more of an impact on the flow of marine traffic than Iran did.
I personally would have preferred the total destruction of the IRGC (which technically isn't off the table if they decide to FAFO) but it would have been difficult to accomplish without more civilian casualties -- something third worldist leftoids were already complaining (and campaigning) about.
In the meantime, consider the following:
No boots on the ground. No prolonged conflict. No permanent occupation. No military draft. No lasting impact on energy prices. No multi-trillion dollar boondoggle. None of the things anti-war retards with Israel tunnel vision like Dave Smith and Candace Owens predicted would happen.
In addition:
- Oil and gas prices are falling in time for summer and the midterms.
- "Free Palestine" third worldists like Graham Platner have less ammo on which to campaign for Congress.
- Russia is bringing in less revenue.
- The U.S. got a foot in the door to block China's Belt and Road projects.
- Trump has greater latitude to tighten sanctions on Russia without exacerbating supply shocks to energy markets.
- Europe and America have agreed to increase cooperation in providing for the national defense of Ukraine.
- Israel isn't a signatory to the MOU and isn't bound by its terms, leaving it free to independently defend itself from threats if necessary.
- America isn't creating a power vacuum for China and Russia to fill by absconding and surrendering its own influence over the region.
The people who say this is a "humiliating defeat" for Trump?
- Russia
- China
- Iran
- Democrats
- The leftist Drudge-led media establishment
All the worst people you know have joined arms and are pretending like Iran pulled one over on the Bad Orange Man in hopes that it will piss off Republicans and Israelis enough to get them to kill the deal themselves.
It's very transparent. Don't let your enemies control you with such a stupid and obvious Reflexive Control op.
@whitebuffalo377@WallStreetApes Some Organic pesticides are skull and crossbones labeled because they are very toxic. Just because it says organic doesn’t mean it wasn’t produced with pesticides. It just means they were organic pesticides. The amount of chemicals used today vs 20 years ago is way lower
HEY THUNE: Texas is sending a MESSAGE to you
You could’ve avoided this ENTIRE PRIMARY and KEPT John Cornyn if you would’ve just passed the SAVE America Act.
You snubbed us, thinking you could just BUY elections.
YOU WERE WRONG.
Voters are REBUKING you
Bill Cassidy just learned a BRUTAL lesson:
If you BETRAY the voters who sent you to Washington… they WILL replace you.
Cassidy sided with the DC establishment, voted to convict Trump during the impeachment sham, and turned his back on MAGA.
Now he got primaried.
The America First base is DONE with fake Republicans.
If you want to scare the heck — peacefully — out of every other sitting United States Senator,
then help defeat John Cornyn on May 26th.
Incumbent Senators just don’t lose primaries — it’s very rare.
Defeating Cornyn would send shockwaves across the country.
@TeamCornyn@JohnCornyn If you’re excited that Senator Bill Cassidy lost tonight,
I ask for your vote to DEFEAT Senator John Cornyn
& ELECT Ken Paxton on
🗓️ Tuesday, May 26th
PSA to Sitting Senators:
If you’re publicly posting that the SAVE Act must pass,
but you refuse to personally call out Senate Majority
Leader John Thune and demand he do whatever is
necessary, including nuking the filibuster, then just shut up.
You’re not helping. You’re gaslighting the American
people who voted for the America First agenda.
All you’re doing is giving Thune cover while he runs out
the clock.
Either demand he take real action now, or do your job as a Senator and remove him from leadership.
No more performative tweets. Deliver results.
@LeaderJohnThune@LeaderJohnThune With all due respect - keeping the illegals that are here from voting in our elections is as important or more important than keeping them out and securing our borders. If we don’t pass the Save Act- we have no chance if Demoncrats get power again. PASS SAVE ACT
@JohnCornyn SCOOP
In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube
where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens.
It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff.
No amnesty!
