Trump is messaging that he won the war— this is a good first step in extricating us from what would otherwise be a catastrophic mistake.
The reality is, the best “deal” we can make with Iran at this point that works in our favor is to just leave—it’s the only case in which POTUS then holds the cards.
He needs to “close the deal” now, before the Iranians force him back into a shooting war.
We simply can’t assume that Iran will wait idly for us to make the next move. Alarmingly, it seems we are failing to account for just how aggressively killing the Ayatollah & bombing the girls’ school has radicalized Iranian leadership & its people—it’s very likely that Iran will feel compelled to drag us back into the war in order to force the U.S. to retreat, bloodied, both for the sake of its national honor & for deterrence.
Trump can end this by pulling our troops & ships out of the region now—deprive Iran of targets to hit and the leverage they need to escalate. Trump says we’ve won, therefore we can bring them home.
He can then offer sanctions relief & the unfreezing of assets as a carrot to get the SOH open. Iran will broadcast that it wants to impose tolls, but without the U.S. acting as the aggressor in the SOH, will lose the justification to do so.
Time is not on our side, and we are fools to think we can control the pace of the war. With each passing moment we risk being sucked back in, to ultimately squander even more American blood and treasure.
Joe Kent to Cenk Uygur: "Even a lot of hardcore Trump supporters right now, they feel very betrayed."
"...When I got together with Tucker, with Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene... we were just kind of comparing notes."
"...No matter who we vote for, we get another war in the Middle East. No matter who we vote for, AIPAC and these major donors—most of whom most Americans don’t even know—they dictate the policy that sends our best young men and women off to go fight and die in foreign battlefields."
"They make our taxes go up and then they give us nothing back in return but more debt and more wars."
"...We don’t think the current political system is working... because of the results on the ground."
"...We have to find something new to save our country." 🇺🇸
🔥WATCH to the end.
I hate to break it to you, but if you want to be successful and you aren’t from a rich family, you have to sacrifice a lot.
You have to sacrifice your health, your mental health, your personal life, and your reputation.
For every rich family and every trust fund baby you see, there was someone in that family who sacrificed everything to build that wealth.
It takes a psychopathic and sociopathic level of dedication to make it out of this corrupt system.
No one wants to say this so I will:
The two most likely answers to everything going on in America are:
1.) Trump was an Israeli plant all along.
2.) Israel has Trump on tape with underage girls.
Wild how the Epstein files led to absolutely nothing. A massive, state-connected child trafficking ring turned into a few weeks of political theater until people's eagerness to do something evaporated. A consequence of US politics revolving around two parties who are complicit.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US Senators call for SEC investigation into President Trump's crypto memecoin, accusing him of a "rug pull."
$TRUMP coin is down 95% since launch.
Hard to even process -- a president selling market-moving information to banks and wealthy investors in advance of everyone else, and personally pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars from it. This alone is more worthy of impeachment than 100 Watergate cover-ups.
POTUS has a very small window of opportunity to act in the best interest of our country and still retain public support: pull our troops out of the region, walk away now, control the messaging like only he can and declare victory.
This opportunity is fleeting—if he escalates or even stagnates as things stand now, we risk a mass casualty event, the Iranians & Houthis causing a major economic crisis, or worse: both.
