I hate to concede that the TDStards might have been right, but it’s looking like TACO Tuesday. They called it days ago.

Trump Chickens Out? Is that your assertion?

What exactly is Trump ‘chicken’ of?

I won’t hold my breath for a logical, coherent answer

It will all break down because a naval blockade is incongruous with a “cease fire” and the Iranians, sooner or later, will reply to an USN engagement against a civilian Iranian ship.

And were pilloried for their negativity. The track record is stacking up deeper by the day and it isn’t good.

Nobody has said a word about what happens when the 60 day with no Congressional approval clock runs out. Can the blockade continue? Starving them out is about as effective as bombing them back into the stone age but how long will the chicoms tolerate this imposition?

I don’t think so.

He’s giving Iran rope, appearing reasonable, and the embargo is rapidly destroying Iran.

It is unable to really rebuild without imports.

That toco shit was begun by the left and in reality means nothing. Just ask the opposition who has had to deal with some painful results.

How stupid are you? The TACO people complain when Trump attacks. They complain when he doesn't attack. They complain when he negotiates. They complain when he wins.

Stop being stupid like them.

The only ones who are hurt by the delay are the IRGC folks because with the blockade in place they’ve got nowhere for their oil to be stored. Their wells will have to shut down in, I think, about a week if this isn’t resolved by then. And in the meantime they’ve got no money to pay their henchmen with.

Well, at least when the Bridges and Power Stations Night arrives, DJT will look like he went the extra mile to give the IRGC dead enders one last chance. Who controls the straights today? Whoever can halt shipping by force at will and board then seize them. Anything less is nostalgia for the IRGC, not control.
