President Trump promised “no war” over and over again.
It is not our fault if we believed him.
Doubt if Trump knew at the time he made the promise how close Iran was to sending nuclear bombs to our cities and our allies’ cities.
Iran promised not to build a nuclear weapon over and over again.
Has it occurred to you that circumstances can change radically, often overnight? Trump’s 1st job is to protect Americans, and when presented with new, daunting information, he chose to act, campaign promises notwithstanding. Judge a man by his actions, not his words. Words are cheap.
Iran's war against us had been going on for 39 years. At last we have a president who cleaned out their nuke nest, clawed back some of the billions Obama sent them to enable jihad against this country, and called their bluff on their threats to annihilate us.
It's not the war that made our side lose the election. It's milquetoast Republicans.
Well, kinda. I recall Trump promising no NEW wars and no MORE wars.
Thing is, there’s been a war between the US and the Islamic Republic of Iran since at least 1979.
No, Congress did not declare war, so there’s a case to be made that the President (and SOW) exceeded their authority by committing US troops to wage that war. Especially after Congress demanded an end to hostilities in June 2026. However, the war still existed long before Trump ever went into politics.
So, he didn’t break his own pledge regarding no NEW wars. He might have violated the Constitution and the War Powers Act ... but that’s a different issue.
You were never in danger of being drafted, unlike the “boomers” you may blame.
Under what circumstances, as a thinking adult, would any adult conclude we would never take up arms, and what responsible President of the United States ever promise to “never have a “war” again”? When asked, he would elaborate and say “no new war” or “no endless war”.
And any “war” against Iran is not new, as they started any conflict in 1979 and have murdered thousands of American citizens since then.
To interpret anything he said in that fashion as “no war ever: is a wholly infantile and deliberate misinterpretation of ANY version of the truth.
Trump did, however say, on multiple occasions, he would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weaponry.
He did indeed say that.
So, anyone who voted for him when he said there would be no forever wars, while also knowing that he said he would never allow Iran to have nuclear weaponry, is disingenuous at best, and at worst, deliberately obtuse for their own Leftist reasons...or an uninformed fool of the kind who swallows whole what the media and the Democrat Party state.
There are many on this website who I regard as just that intellectually enfeebled. If it isn’t their fault they believed what the media told them, then they shouldn’t be voting.
Hey, Rip van Libturd, the WAR began Dec 4, 19798 when the Islamic Republic of Iran declared one and proceeded to prosecute that war for over 40 years without much resistance, just a lot of funding on the side from dementiacrats and other enemies of our Republic.
It’s NOT a new war, dipwad.
