I will say again that I believe that this time next year, he will no longer be POTUS—and that has been the plan all along. Not his plan but Peter Thiel’s plan. The party’s plan.
I genuinely do not understand how so many people within the party—some of whom are quite intelligent and some who are also service minded have failed in their duty to prevent this disastrous, dangerous second term.
I think they figured they could control him.
Nah, they just figured they could exploit the chaos he produced.
And they have.
Yes, but the war is costing them suppprt for the party. It can’t go on much longer.
Getting out of a war is not as easy as it might sound. Particularly if the country you went to war on behalf of has no intention of withdrawing. Even Democrats are afraid to say or do anything that would upset Israel.
According to Trump, he solved Iran war faster than any other war. And as long as we ignore that the Theocracy / IRGC is still in charge and are drastically reducing access through the Strait of Hormuz, he is still wrong.
To begin with, I wonder if this is a "War" at all. We aren't remotely positioned to invade, even less equipped to do so. What we have here isn't a war, it was a short-sighted attempt at regime change by a sudden attack that failed to change the regime and the US just continued attacking because the initial plan failed and they were hoping some more shock and awe would then lead to the local Kurds and Iranians to rebel (you know, maybe for the first time ever). While the air attacks followed a common theme for reducing adversarial resistance, it wasn't followed up on by any useful action... making it look like the bombings weren't part of a plan, but done merely to do
something after the regime change failed. At no point has the Administration indicated any type of metrics or goals, just that we were 'ahead of schedule'.
And now the global economy is at risk because Netanyahu and Trump won't allow themselves to lose face, so they huddle around this nuclear weapon red herring. This is worse than a war. It was a military adventure powered by bravado, without a plan, at the
whim of a fucking idiot (well, two of them). And no one in DC apparently has any balls or ovaries left in this Administration, because Trump has more power than is safe for the free world, as witnessed by Sen. Cassidy being primaried for voting to impeach a guy that incited a riot at the US Capitol.
