6 days into it - declaring it a failure - you guys are hilarious. Never give up on the TDS.

Great story about our dear leader!

That's hilarious. Did them all! In my first sales position, we used to have to carry rolls of quarters to make prospecting/customer calls, being on the road, from my favorite phone booths. I remember when the company gave us a 1-800-Sprint calling card that we could use - I thought I died and went to heaven! Still had to punch the number in - but I could actually make multiple calls for an hour or so - and it would keep me on Sprint line.. I thought I was really living large!

Totally!

You took the words right out of my mouth! Though deep down, I think my buddy @Mephistopheles is starting to come around to MAGA, just like you !

I stand corrected on the "what's in it for Trump". I actually knew that but meant others that claim he's doing it as a way to gain popularity. It's certainly not popular among MAGA - but necessary. As far as Bibi - I'm not privy to what POTUS or Bibi really know in terms of "imminent threat" - but I do know that the nuclear threat must be eliminated regardless. And yes, it does bother me that in the summer - we were one and done with the nuclear threat, but now all of a sudden - we're not. I trust Trump & Bibi far more than any of our other past actors that just tried to pay off Iran and hope for the best. One of these days we will know whether Trump was Bibi's sucker.

See this is what I don't get - capping Iran was never going to be a winning voter issue. Foreign policy rarely wins elections in America. So, yes, it's a huge risk to his re-election lest something go catastrophically wrong. But it's the right thing to do and that goes against your narrative that there is something in it for Trump. My simplistic view is this - there were 2 choices - both bad - therefore difficult. 1) Military action against Iran now - bad choice 2) Military action against Iran later - worse choice All other Presidents took the easy way out and kicked the can down the road- for 47 years running. Trump choose to option 1, which is deal with it NOW, when Iran is weak. Definitely not popular with his MAGA base - especially if the effort gets the USA dragged into ground action. True leaders make tough awful decisions where the only "safe" alternative is kicking the can down the road making the problem worse. This is a calculated risky decision that actually could endanger his Presidency - but it's the right one.

+1 - how can one argue with that? They'll find some angle how he is supposed to profit from it.

Rubio is definitely a stud. No doubt.

As long as Trump is President - then it's over to Israel - who knows what nut-bag gets elected in this country. What is your view @changegonnacome on strategic objectives? I don't wish to overcomplicate it. If the regime falls, it falls, if Iranians pick up the pieces with new leadership - let it be. The message has been delivered - and the world has been done a huge favor.

Hilarious ! "Verified Purchase" !!

1) Insure no nukes primarily 2) Bonus objective: payback for 47 years of terrorism. Works for me. Retribution is a beautiful thing.

Oh there is plenty of that here, and all day long the media is screaming about "quagmire" and such - an we're on day 4. So predictable. If that's not dumb enough - now Iran is shelling, what,,,, 11 other countries??? How is that going to work out for Iran??? Ha! And just for you cw - Cuba is next..

It's only day 4 and the lunatic crowd is screaming about "forever wars". LOL

Tough decisions are made by courageous leaders - which only leaves the USA & Israel. Meanwhile, the rest of the world just watches, waiting for the right time to jump on the bandwagon. Some things never change.

For sure, like many of Trump's cabinet picks - Hegseth has been terrific. Mark Milley & Lloyd Austin did their duty wrecking the military.

Simply amazing. Some people never learn.

Yes, of course! Trump belongs in prison. Dirtbag Obama gave Iran 1.7B Dipshit Biden gave Iran 6B Trump destroyed their handiwork for the good of the world, but he would never do it unless there was something in it for the Trump family.

You seem to have a problem with the Israeli/USA joint operation to put the largest state sponsor of terrorism to bed once and for all. The courage of these 2 nations is unmatched - and for the good of the free world - it's starting and will take time. Europe, of course, will be a major beneficiary, as always. I'm mystified as to your pissing and moaning about "who pays for what". When Stalin and the Allies crushed Hitler in Berlin - were you concerned about the "mess" they left in Germany? or were you delighted that the regime was gone for good? I find it strange you can't acknowledge a true historical milestone for once - oh, but I forget - it is Trump making the world safer - so that must explain it.

It's about time. Europe is going to teach Trump a lesson he won't forget. Of all the losers, Macron will lead the way. LOL

Pay for what? Keeping your ass in Europe safe? Why don't you try pitching in for once.

Not ignoring you," just nothing to add" as Charlie would say!

Huh??? Iran's top leadership destroyed, missiles destroyed, entire navy destroyed. What else were you expecting for 3 days? LOL

So far, this has been a stunning success. It will be worth the pain and took great courage to do so.

When has the Middle East not been on fire?
