How are our soldiers getting killed unless commander in chief is asleep at the wheel like sleepy Joe Biden

This is so stupid Iran has long range missiles, that can be in the middle of the country and still can destroy the ships, Trump is only scratching the surface and putting the troops in harm ways, when will Trump grows a pair of balls and tell Israel enough of this bullshit, and face the music of the Epstein files:face-blue-smiling:

I thought they said they took out their military. It doesn't look like it...

As for me, im tired of trumps idea of too much winning... 😅

Mr. D.Trump, you are our only hope. I am speaking on behalf of the russian - speaking population of Ukraine (due to the USSR). I am confident everyone will support you. Freeze all the stolen offshore accounts of mindich -zelensky and his mindich mafia in the Verkhovna Rada and return them to Ukraine.
Then you won't have to provide financial assistance or feed zelensky's clown mafia. And treat him like Maduro: hand him over to the American justice system.

This is Trump's "golden age" 😂😂🎉🎉🎉

The US mediators who do not know what they are doing, are probably being pushed by Trump to agree to just about anything so Trump can find a way out of this war he started. The final result will be that Iran will be the big winner. It will be able to keep its nuclear material, be able to charge a toll to all ships in the Straits of Hormuz, and get all it sanctions lifted so it can start selling oil on the open market. With all that, the hardline religious government in Iran will remain in place and probably become even more draconian, and the people of Iran will be worse off than before the war. Except for the hardliners in Iran, everyone else, the citizens of Iran, the US, and the world economies, are the biggest losers. And what will Trump say when this ends? He will tell everyone that he negotiated the "greatest deal with Iran in history."

Guess it's not a brief excursion like Trump said?! How is this not a war crime from the beginning?!
It's another Iraq situation where they claim WMD without proof that anything was going to happen?

Translation, US is begging for ceasefire behind the scenes. If i was making decisions in Iran i would do ground invasion into Kuwait to capture US bases forcing US to respond with ground invasion and locking Dump forever in this war. It would be hilarious watching these maga cowards cry once they get drafted and mobilised. 😂😂

The US military is a disgrace. They are happily following illegal and unconstitutional orders. Don't let anyone try and convince you otherwise. None of them deserve an ounce of respect when they come home - NOT ONE OUNCE.

This is escalating so fast. I wonder if these truce proposals actually have a chance of working or if both sides are just playing for time right now. Bloomberg always has the best breakdown on how this affects the markets too.

It's nerve-wracking to see these strikes hitting multiple countries like Kuwait and Jordan. I really hope those mediators can make the truce happen before things escalate further. Do you think a ceasefire is actually realistic right now?
