VP Vance says Iran war will go on ‘little while longer’ until regime is ‘neutered’

Vice President JD Vance says the war with Iran will continue “for a little while longer” until the US and Israel can “neuter” the Islamic Republic.

“The president’s going to keep at it for a little while longer to ensure that once we leave, we don’t have to do this again for a very, very long time,” Vance told podcaster Benny Johnson.

“This country is threatening us in all these ways. They’re still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We need to neuter them for a very, very long time, and that’s the purpose.

Vance said the goal of the mission is to ensure that the US doesn’t have to go back into Iran in a “year down the road.”

“We’re taking care of business. We’re going to be out of there soon, and gas prices are going to come back down,” he concluded in an interview released Friday.

The US has already accomplished “the gross majority” if not all of the military objectives against the hardline regime, Vance said.

Higher gas prices directly resulting from the war effort — the Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical oil chokepoint which Tehran has a stranglehold on — are a “very, very temporary reaction to what is going to ultimately be a short term conflict,” according to the vice president.

JD gettin' some gravy toss. No problem voting for him.

[wastedyears]

Everything this government does is at the behest of, and benefit for, israel.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just need to flatten the curve.

“Neutered” - another line without real strategic meaning.

As long as the Mullahs retain power, they are not “neutered”.

If you are not going to war in 100% full unconditional surrender mode, you never achieve your objectives, and extend the forever war stance indefinitely.

Regime change with Germany and Japan was necessary to end WWII. A phony war effort without that would have extended full WWII conditions indefinitely.

I just want the truth. I don't want to hear platitudes like “just a little while longer” or “gas prices will come down soon.” Gas prices never come down quickly. I'm tired of the gaslighting.

JD will have to distance himself from this disaster if he wants a chance to become president

[No name given]

Agreed.

[Fledermaus]

What disaster?

[RoosterRedux]

You don't think Iran is a threat to "The Great Satan"? What kind of fool are you?

[Blennos]

Congratulations. You win the “dumbest comment of the day.” But actually not so unusual for overt Jew-haters like you.

[ncalburt]

I think you may be right here.

Trump's goal is to gain control of the Iranian cash flow–the oil. Once he has that, all political blocs report to Trump.

Watch Kharg Island.

And read "The Art of the Deal."

Diesel fuel is $7 a gallon in California and $10 a gallon in Europe. Helium production is being disrupted, fertilizer production and delivery are affected, and sulfuric acid production is impacted. LNG facilities are being destroyed, and now the Houthis are getting involved. This is a disaster, not to mention the political ramifications in the midterms.

[82nd Bragger]

LOL, but you have a myopic view of Israel & the US alliance, as Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East, which is a filthy horde of Islamic trash. GTFO the internet/planet, Communist/Islamist/Globalist!

[Third Person]

the shutdown uhmmm war will be over by Easter

[pterional]

Mistakes are part of life. What we need now is an exit ramp. We achieved our objective by disrupting Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Putting boots on the ground would be doubling down on a bad decision.

Trump needs to refocus on domestic issues:healthcare, borders, infrastructure, and manufacturing to create jobs.

[The Louiswu]

if he wants a chance to become president

---

Unless the save act is passed it’s highly unlikely he’ll be elected President

[Williams]

Not good enough.

[Fledermaus]

That’s California and Europe’s problem. Stupid environment.

I pay $3.299 in middle TN.

This is the most successful military action ever.

End the 47 year war THEY have waged against us. Thousands of Americans killed.

[RoosterRedux]

Kill da Jooz. Ya?
