Good analysis of what's going on with Trump, China and the Strait of Hormuz at the following link.
China just LOST EVERYTHING. MattMorseTV - Rumble 16:46
A more recent update video with significant new developments from Iran and from PDJT.
They're TRYING to SURRENDER. MattMorseTV - Rumble - 13:28
One man’s panicans is another man’s trolls.
As wars go, this one has been very lob-sided. The enemy has been reduced to striking out at countries that were not even involved . Truly pathetic in their death throes. The sooner they surrender the less embarrassing it is going to be for them.
The lamest part was they put out messages of supposed friendship in the morning, or at least of cooperation, and later the same day struck them with missiles.
Iran not only looks weak they appear to be severely retarded.
Stay with Trump. Stay the course.
A CNN guy says the GOP is doomed in the midterms because Trump never apologizes or admits he is wrong. Said that’s the only thing the disastrous Iran war and out of control inflation in time for November that could save some GOP seats.
One good thing about short memory span in American politics——when the war is soon over and seen as a triumph people will be saying “what war?” as they notice prices in stores and at gas stations are not going up.
Plenty of Panicans on FR I’ve noticed.
This is not what MAGA voted for. They must be seeing it in the poll numbers.
I assume you meant "lop-sided".
It's about time. America has been in too many situations where some group or another was waging war against us and we did next to nothing about it. Iran has been one of them, for going on 50 years. (And there are plenty of domestic examples of this as well.)
I have no problem whatsoever with us clobbering the crap out of Iran. They have earned it in spades.
Campaigns on no new wars, starts one to run interference for “greatest ally ever,” shades of “read my lips.”
I am MAGA. We are efficiently and quickly defeating a sworn enemy of the United States, an enemy that wishes to destroy us. And was just about to develop the means to do so. This is exactly what I voted for.
They want to die, if by dying and causing all mayhem, the Madhi comes and restores all things.
This is what we are dealing with. If they lose, it is Allah’s will, but they will reload and try again....
however long it takes.
Exactly. It’s a 1,400 year war against civilization and the enemy is sworn to kill us all, the “infidels”, Jews and Christians anywhere they are found. Their implacable deity in their ‘holy’ book commands them to do so, and to seek glorious martyrdom in the effort.
A mass psychosis which has been on the march since the 7th century.
President Trump has eyes wide open in this regard. I sleep better at night knowing he has my back.
>> As wars go, this one has been very lob-sided.
I think you meant “lop”-sided, but the funny thing is, “LOB”-sided works too! Mostly Israel and US lobbing HE “for effect” at the islamonazis, while the islamonazis (ineffectively) lob HE at pretty much everyone within range.
>> A mass psychosis which has been on the march since the 7th century.
EXCELLENT post, all of it dead on. Thank you.
Sorry to disagree with you, but Trump isn’t starting a war, he’s ending one; one that should have been dealt with 47 years ago, quite frankly.
I voted for this.
Every country hit was involved. Each let us launch the attacks from bases there or gave permission to use their airspace. That’s why they were hit in retaliation. It’s very rational.
No time for Chicken Littles.
“Campaigns on no new wars”

President Donald J. Trump has been unequivocal and consistent for decades: Iran will never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon. This position — rooted in longstanding, bipartisan American policy — guides his actions to ensure the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism cannot threaten the world with nuclear devastation.
