ok, they aren't a major problem.

Until this, I can't think of anything in my life that would qualify them as a "major problem". mild irritant fits better.

they were a major problem with the kidnappings in the 70s, after that though its been a whole lot of nothing. I can't think of a single year where they would have been a Top 5 issue, and really only once even as a Top 10.

Tariffs, Covid, IRA, ACA, Afghanistan, Iraq War 2, Desert Storm, ISIS, heck the Evergrande getting stuck in the Suez was more impactful than Iran has been. China a problem. Heck Iran hasn't even made it to NK levels of testing nukes & missiles, and most people are calling NK a major issue.

President Donald Trump said he considers it “treasonous” for people to say that the United States is not “winning” the war with Iran, despite notifying Congress earlier that the hostilities have “terminated.”

“We get the radical left to say, ‘We’re not winning, we’re not winning.’ They don’t have any military left. It’s unbelievable. It’s actually, it’s actually, I believe it’s treasonous, okay. You want to know the truth – it’s treasonous,” Trump said during remarks at The Villages in Florida on Friday.

Well, here I am Dumb Donald - We're not winning this war, so OOPS... looks like I'm committing treason.

By all means, send your goon squad my way to arrest and summarily execute me for my heinous crime.

BTW, watch your junk down there at The Villages. Heretell the Clap is running rampant.

My Jim Jones reference seems to have really hit home. Shocker!

Trump didnt wipe out their nuclear program. And now his 2 week ceasefire has been going on for what, 6 weeks? What do you think Iran is doing? Digging in. Moving raw materials to safer/hidden locations. Trumps a moron who has zero clue what he is doing. A LOT of that comes from surrounding himself with more idiotic yes men.

I do applaud you for getting on the "Iran cant have a nuclear weapon" bandwagon. What was that, the third or fourth excuse Trump came up with for attacking Iran? Because, it wasn't the first reason..

When things go badly for Trump he just throws sh!t at the wall hoping it sticks and you MAGA lackeys slurp it up.

Lol. What a world you must live into be so obtuse to come to those conclusions.

He shouldn't have attacked. Then he quit attacking because everyone hates it here and it wrecked gas prices and the political fallout scared him and the GOP. Now all he is doing is letting them regroup/dig in/hide sh!t. Iran literally just sat back and took an ass whooping and will still come out on top. The old tortoise (turtle) versus the hare (thats like a rabbit) fable.

Trump thought he had a real quick victory to add to his resume for the midterms, Regime Change. When that didn't work out it morphed into "lets stop them from having a nuke!". Had to rally his remaining MAGA acolytes.

I bet Trump gonna give Iran billions when the "peace plan he desperately wants" gets worked out. The entire thing is an exercise in futility. Remember, Trump was the one begging for a ceasefire, not Iran.. Dude made the US look like chumps. Then Trump gonna try and spin that into being "the Peace President". Then he'll start talking about the Nobel prize again. Circular idiocracy.

Trump:

If I’m president, we will not go to war with Iran.

We don't need their oil.

Take the oil and make a fortune.

We already won the war.

The war will continue for a little while.

God bless the great people of Iran!

A whole civilization will die tonight.

We’re not at war, because there’s a ceasefire.

We’re winning the war.

You commit treason if you say we’re not winning the war.

We're not at war.

Iran agreed to everything.

Maybe we're better off not making a deal at all.

I didn't say we're better off not making a deal at all.

We've already won, but I want to win by a bigger margin.

Hostilities have terminated.

Our Navy took over Iran's ship like pirates.

The blockade is still in place.

Iran hasn't paid a big enough price.

If I don't get the Nobel Prize for peace, nobody will ever get it.

MAGA sheep:

Just dropped $4.88 on premium. Felt good not being worried about $3.98 for regular or $4.88 for the good juice. Still making money off not paying 2022 prices. Perspective.
