"...Trump KNEW that an open conflict with Iran would be an immediate hit on his approval, would likely jar the economy, and cause a rise in inflation through fuel supply disruptions, causing real pain. He had to know that this was absolutely necessary to ensure the long-term survival and safety of U.S. interests, including at home. That is real courage, leading the brigade into battle despite the naysayers..."

Exactly. Well put. These same people who you and I would characterize as "naysayers" post agitatedly that Trump went in with no plan. That he didn't take the mid-term election into account. That he didn't even think of the possible hit on the economy.

It was hilarious (yet disturbing) to read those same people post with a straight face "Trump had no plan for Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz" as if this very thing had not been looked at, war-gamed, planned for, contingencies considered, and thought about by thousands upon thousands of military personnel for decades.

Yeah. There was no plan. And. by gosh, Trump never even dusted off those plans until the first Iranian mine appeared or the first Iranian missile was fired at a ship.

It is pretty hard to take those same people seriously.

Trump KNEW that an open conflict with Iran would be an immediate hit on his approval ... That is real courage...

Exactly. Well put.

Actually, no. Netanyahu and the Mossad, and likely Rubio and Hegseth, advised Trump that the Iran regime would fall within a week. That Iran would be another Venezuela.

A Big Beautiful Victory, quick and easy.
