We need to end the war now.
Get our troops out of the region, restrain Israel, and focus on economic negotiations to open the SOH—and now the Bab Al Mandeb—or we will face a major energy crisis.
Keep in mind that we could not militarily defeat the Houthis in 2025. We know we can’t militarily defeat Iran now.
We will certainly not be able to defeat both of them simultaneously.
The reality is that we will end up cutting deals at some point. We always do—remember how we exited Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.
At this point, we know how this plays out. Let’s skip the decades of carnage & cut the deals now.
Tune out the neocons & the Israeli lobby’s tired talking points about WMD—that was bait to get us into this mess. It worked, and look where we’re at: disastrous quagmire, no military solution, our troops in harm’s way all across the region.
Iran currently controls two key energy chokepoints—SOH & BAM. We are better off accepting this and adapting strategically than we are fighting it and losing more. Pulling our troops out tips the scales of leverage in our favor.
Withdraw and reengage diplomatically to resolve the issue in the region that directly impacts Americans: restoring the flow of oil.
President Trump can still declare victory and restore trust with the American people if he has the courage to leave now, before a mass casualty event happens or an economic crisis hits.
That’s why now is the best time to leave & quietly negotiate.

Saudi Arabia and Jordan: There are no American bases in our countries.
US military: A large number of our soldiers were injured in Jordan and Saudi Arabia
@MAlmuhairi99@MIDTRADEDAYZ@mtmalinen@POTUS True, but GCC vulnerability can't be solved by buying advanced weapons. It's rooted in geography, size and flat terrain. Hitting desalination plants alone could make these areas uninhabitable, regardless of their military capabilities.
@MIDTRADEDAYZ@mtmalinen@POTUS I understand the effort by your ministery of education to raise you to be patriotic. But the fact of the matter is Saddam army occupied Kuwait in less than half of a day.
@ncitayim Kuwait must choose between hosting U.S. troops and having water; the choice is simple, but the corrupt King may fear being killed by Trump more than they fear seeing their people die of thirst.
🇮🇷🇺🇸 At least 4 Iranian missiles reportedly hit Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Airbase, injuring several U.S troops
It's one of the most critical hubs for the United States Air Force in the Middle East, hosting F-35s, F-15s, F-16s, and A-10s.
It also serves as an operational launch site for heavy MQ-9 Reaper drones
