Trump's not going to save your Zelensky or beloved Ukraine. It's not in America's interest.

Trump has already, in effect, handed off Ukraine to the Europeans. And with bombing Iran, certainly now any negotiations over Ukraine are finished. With Trump and the DC deep state focused on Israel-Iran, project Ukraine is officially abandoned.

Yes a ruse in many ways. The BIG one was to let Iran THINK they had time to move their enriched uranium.

If they moved it, we watched to see WHERE they took it.

Well, here's a parody of "For What it's Worth" lyrics, Buffalo Springfield.

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a Mullah with a goat over there
It's his girlfriend so I got to beware

You better stop infidel
Turn around
Find your own goat in another town

“Thank God President Trump fired Charles Q. Brown Jr.”

Oh, man. I hated that arrogant traitorous prick. He gave me the creeps.

I loved President Trump’s three-and-a-half-minute press briefing after.

He was a man on fire. He looked at least 30 years younger than his actual age.

I think he made his point as clearly as it could be made.

And I think the whole world knows they better not mess with America as long as he’s president.

Amazing...
Particularly when you consider the proclivity of this administration to leak like an old sieve...

Make me wonder if some of those annoying leaks are part of other razzle-dazzle operations...

The wsj has been anti-Trump over the years.

Do better. But, more importantly, be better.

Do you actually read it? If so you have must missed today’s editorial. I doubt you read anything beyond click bait news and dismiss anything you disagree with.

WSJ - “The chatter about TACO—‘Trump always chickens out” - will now quiet down, but the more significant reassessment has to do with U.S. foreign policy. The Obamaites of the left, and lately of the right, counseled that the world had to bow to Iranian intimidation. The best we could hope for was a flimsy deal that bribed Iran with billions of dollars and left open its path to a bomb. They were wrong, and the world is safer for it.

Headline:
“Trump Meets the Moment on Iran - The President bombs three nuclear sites to spare the world from an intolerable risk.”

Most of this forum doesn’t agree with Trump on many things. We voice out criticism. That doesn’t make us or the WSJ anti-Trump because he wrong on a few things.
