Can JD Vance begin by convincing conservatives for this disastrous one way "deal"?

Trump is going to try to spin this into a victory, but he’s been absolutely humiliated by Iran.

This is just Iranian bluster .

President Trump holds all the cards and Trump wields all the negotiating leverage.

President Trump controls the events on the ground , not Iran

He's absolutely humiliated the US. And those who argue that Trump can resume bombing should realize that any resumption requires the cooperation of allies he's just burned, including Israel, KSA and the Gulf States.

We're in a far worse situation than before the war started. I really wouldn't be surprised to see Israel nuke Iran and the Shiite areas of Lebanon.

It's a complete disaster. The only turnabout I can think of is that it's a ruse to get the IRGC and mullahs out of their hidey holes so we and Israel can swoop in and kill them.

He did a pretty sound job of explaining the deal in today’s White House briefing. I was convinced it is a step forward.

Fighting the Iranian leadership has been inevitable.

It was going to happen some day.

Probably better that Trump is heading up the fight, rather than a democrat president.

War sucks. But it’s been inevitable, sadly.

FR is just getting slammed with rat trolls now. Their posts outnumber the legit ones. The Admins have lost control.

Right...That's why Iran has no Navy...No Airforce, damaged Nuke facilities, no income.

We did good.

Finally a President who went after these monsters.

That’s getting rather obvious, isn’t it? The ultimate goal of the trolls is to kill FR.

Certainly not any of the crap you post. Go back to Blue Sky with the rest of the rat trolls.
