For those of you who have short memories?
President Donald Trump 1.0 WAS the one that ‘gave up’ on Afghanistan and started a withdrawal that Joe Biden finished as a mess…..
It would seem that Donald is gonna do exactly the same thing with Iran….
Turn tail and pack up and forget about his Iran War/Conflict…
In doing so?
It appears that the hardline era in Iran will get whatever they wanted…..
Extinguish any effort to displace them with an open secular Iran….
Keeping their Uranium and nuclear programs….
Allowing the country to replenish its military and weapons….
And worse of all?
Allowing Iran to make ‘protection money’ on the Strait ship transits, something they DID NOT have before…..
Good work Mr. President!….
Ya LOST this one and it cost America part of its economy and statue as the mighty military that could beat anybody?
Ya met your match…..
Tell Hegseth to send the Troops, Ships and Air Force back home….
Now we American have to pay for this….
And hope gas price’s go back down….
The outlines of President Trump’s endgame in the Iran war are now emerging. In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis. Trump may launch another limited strike to look tough and satisfy the demands of the war’s supporters, but it would be a performative gesture. Endgame in this case is a euphemism for “surrender.”
Trump has blinked many times in the confrontation with Iran—ever since March 18, when Israel attacked the Pars gas field and Iran retaliated with a strike against Qatar’s most important natural-gas-production facility. Trump then called for a halt on U.S. and Israeli targeting of Iran’s energy infrastructure, and the war effectively ended.
Trump’s repeated threats to resume attacks since then have proved to be bluffs. The leaders in Tehran have been calculating for two months that Trump would not launch another attack, and for this reason they have made no concessions despite the damage they suffered from 37 days of relentless strikes. On the contrary, their terms for a settlement are those of a victor: They demand war reparations, no limits on uranium enrichment, recognized control of the strait, and an end to sanctions…..
