    They are in all out panic mode.

    Trump has shown that almost everything the establishment told us was a lie. We are now entering an all time prosperous time in human civilization.

    Go out and start a business now. There will never be a better time.

    I really like how Trump's supporters are framing this.

    "Iran has been using proxies to fight us for a long time now!"
    "The missiles they shot didn't kill anyone because they're afraid of going ti war with Trump! VICTORY!"

    So in a week they'll say Iran is back to using proxies and we'll be back at square one.

    Let's see how much Iran can control their proxies now.

    If you dont think this was a massive win for the United States and Trump you are lying to yourself.

    Senators coming out of the Solemeini briefing now saying it was a total trainwreck. Lol. Mike Lee now saying he will support Kaine's war powers resolution.

    Tomorrow Trump is going to call Mike Lee a never Trumper. Or maybe a 2am rage tweet.

    I didn't see this earlier in the thread so I wanted to discuss this here

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/iraqi-p...ps-11578236473

    Trump: We need to get our men out of the middle east.

    Iraq Parliament: Ok we're going to vote to expel troops.

    Trump: DON'T YOU TELL OUR TROOPS TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST! SANCTIONS!

    Before Trump:

    - Iran not working on nukes
    - Conservative gov has mixed support among the populace.

    Trump helps:

    - Iran working on nukes
    - Hardliners ascendant

    I truly feel much better now.

    He's just old. Over 70 is too damn old to be dealing with the such complicated and important matters. And most of the job is simply public relations and over 70 is too old to be in front of the camera all the time.

    After a day where he stumbled and mispronunciations easy words during a speech

    He didn’t tweet at all

    Which is common for this loser to go a full 24 hours without tweeting lies

    Could you imagine how many times we'd hear the right call Obama weak if Iran bombed our bases and Obama responded only with new sanctions?

    Kind of reminds me of when Obama enacted crippling sanctions on Russia because of Crimea and he was weak because he didn't drag us into WW3.

    I'm glad Trump at the moment is not going ti war (he looked subdued in his presser) but the double standards are amazing.

    I guess sanctions are only effective if a Republican president enacts them instead of going to war.

    dude, this is such a massive win bro

    pretty much cements the landslide of 300 or maybe even 400 electoral votes

    you're crazy if you don't believe this

    We killed their most important military figure. We came out on top by far. Iran embarassed themselves.

    You are grasping because the reality of Obama being the worst president in our countries history is now evident.

    MAGA is not about starting wars.

    I think Iran like most countries is just waiting for sanity to be restored in November. Why go to war when the reason they went to war is going to get flushed like a turd.
