The maximalists wanted regime change, the minimalists wanted nothing, and the doubters see only waffling. Carafano’s answer: the victor gets to define victory — and everywhere you look, the region is moving Trump’s way.
Iran War Turns into Trump Middle East Triumph: We are about to see the biggest reshaping of the Middle East since Moses led the Jews out of Egypt.
Like the pharaoh, who missed every warning sign up to the parting of the Red Sea, the critics and questioners of Trump’s tug-of-war with what’s left of the Iran regime seem obtuse to the prophetic truth that the region will never be the same again—in a good way.

Not just no, but, oh, HELL no!
For those curious what "DP World" is about, I post the Google AI text on who the golf sponsor is:
Always a good bet.
Trust Candor7 to post a provactive graphic where the theme is either:
<><>Japanese archery,
<><> Go-Trump-Go,
<><> or a hot Cape Cod beach-babe graphic.
All the best, Candor7.......go for it......we await with bated breath.
Bfl
Have we yet gone home from Germany, Japan, or Korea? If not, why?
As usual; poconopundit, you get my drift.... Gulf needs Golf! It will win the war......I want to market anti-mullah nine irons !
Meanwhile Trump Tower going up on Kharg Island, LOL.
Alahwahoo Underparbar !
Ridicule, the best weapon against fascism, including Islamofascism.
FORE !
The mullahs are on hole 18, 10 strokes under par, and looking for an impossibly good putter, but the 12th imam is down that hole somewhere...........why won’t he come out to save the day?
Instead the mullahs want to replay the last nine holes? Maybe the 12th imam will reappear if they try again ?
BUahahahahahahahahahaha!
The Tehran DP series is the ONLY answer !
Mossad is taking a bad rap on this......
According to Israeli broadcaster Channel 12, the scheme involved
“mobilizing” groups within Iran to fuel “mass protests,”
(backed by massive US-financed Israeli military airstrikes).
That uprising scheme was never in the cards....
it was just a concocted Mideast fairy tale told to Trump
to lure him into financing the bombing spree.

Au contraire. From what I’ve seen, about 90% of the BS you post is “unsourced” propaganda... usually related to Israel/Jew/Bibi bashing... but can also be construed as anti-Trump, anti-Iran war BS. The other 10% is usually ‘recipes’...which, IMHO, you should probably just stick to.
By all logical definitions re: most of your posts... you seem to be working for America’s enemies... and guess what that makes you....
a troll.
Have a nice day.
“Who runs the IRGC? They don’t even know.”
MI6.
Was Japanese defeated in July 1945?
Apparently not by your definition. Although their Navy and Air Force were destroyed, their army had zero logistics and most of their major cities burned.
Many still wanted to fight much like the IGRC. Took nukes in August to finish it.
Point is it is very hard to completely destroy fanatics that don’t care about anything but their own power and the 12th Iman.

You might want to add me to that list there... since Liz has been on my “troll” radar for some time now. As for your hilariously delusional claim that Liz is connected to any intelligence at all.. high-level or no...
that is pure baloney. As proven by the fact that she rarely, if ever, gives an actual source for the propaganda she posts... and if/when there is an actual source given, it’s usually a leftist one (Al Jazeera or ABC???)... which would explain her reluctance to even bother posting a source.
And no, no private email. Propagandists need to be pointed out and called out in the open forum.
Obviously, you don’t know....
there are “reading comprehension” courses available.......
You need one badly.

Oh, I know only too well. And it doesn’t take a ‘course’ to determine what you are. You, yourself, have proven that many times over. Like I said... you should probably just stick to the recipes. At least those aren’t all leftist-biased BS...lol.
This has been my take for a while. The Iran that once was, is no longer. They are tamed. Any attempt to build up any sort of program can be smacked down the moment it is uncovered.
The only part that MUST happen, not just for Iran, is for the people to overthrow the Mullahs & IRGC - because the rest of the world needs to understand, what happened in Iran (50 years ago) is exactly what Islam intends to do in every western country. Their goal is to conquer. Iran used to be a free and liberal country, until Islam. We’ve come up with stupid words like “Islamophobia” while Iranians have been living the very consequence of a very real threat here.
When leftists align with Islam, just ask them if they want to be like Iran.
Groundhog Day war. Let me know when our embassy reopens. Then we will know the war was won.
I am not sure that the public, nor the author of this article, really understands the Iran conflict. I have uncertainties as to the impetus of the conflict, and no longer believe that it is nuclear capability only based. The relentless drive to destroy the Russian and Chinese client states, as well as their asymmetric assault groups (terror groups) has been a steady event since before the Obama administration. On these facts, it is indisputable, that there is a overall pattern of decapitating the capability, and eventually the head of several of these client organizations. Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, then Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, and now Iran and the sequence, no longer seems to be random.
If the current Iran conflict is about removing Iran as a supporter of Russia, and thorough fare for China production, then victory exists when Iran can no longer support the Russian invasion of Ukraine and cannot threaten the world with Nuclear Armageddon. That has not been achieved entirely, IMHO.
Further, there has been no defeat of the Iranian Mullah supporters and backers on US soil....the Democrats.
I trust that Trump knows what he’s doing.
So far he has made all the right decisions and he’s on track to victory.
Stay on course, Mr President!
“Like the pharaoh, who missed every warning sign up to the parting of the Red Sea,…”
As an aside: I’ve often wondered “man how thick was that guy”?
Are the mullahs still in charge?
Does Iran still have nuke capability?
