Your word is your bond.

Iran did say they weren't going to negotiate while under attack. At that point, why wait any longer? He'd already given them the 60 days.

It's hard to imagine Trump is quite as stupid as I used to think he was. I mostly assume that's because after Biden, anyone looks smart, but maybe it's more. Maybe he really is clever.
He has an innate ability to read a situation and respond in the moment in a way that benefits him in that moment. Long term thinking? Nah. But you string enough short term shit together and, well, you can just bullshit through everything.

I’ve seen countless salespeople do it. Sometimes it can even be mesmerizing.

Which is, of course, the point.
Well, he got three "likes." So . . .
Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.”

The Democrat struggles to find something to criticize with this op is really making Trump look smart.

A little book club lingo here.:)
 
That's cheating.
You didn't even notice mine in the toast discussion.

Trump’s more transparent than generally viewed.

America first =
Loyalty =
Trump likes and respects strong leaders like Putin, Xi, Un, and the Ayatollah of Iran.

What doesn’t fit in the above equation?

“Death to America.”

POTUS has a constitutional duty to protect the US. Of course Trump takes away Iran’s ability to cause our death. After all, Trump has to respect the Ayatollah’s threat.

Even if Iran were to acquire nuclear weapons, I doubt they’d ever acquire any delivery mechanism that might threaten American territory.

Of course, they might arm terrorists with one, etc. etc. You can’t count any of that out.

But it’s the destabilizing nature of a nuclear Iran that makes it such an intolerable prospect.

In real life, though, how sure are we that's true? Indian and Pakistan have had nukes for years, and nothing has happened. You'd think if there were ever going to be a hot-headed nuclear exchange, that would be the location.

Israel already has nukes. If Iran gets them too, so what? Just one more cold war to add to the list of cold wars? Maybe it actually results in more peaceful relations, because Israel hesitates before firing missiles into Tehran.

Of course, I absolutely do not want a nuclear Iran. I'm very satisfied with a non-nuclear Iran. Just saying, how sure can we be that it would actually be destabilizing? Just food for thought, is all.

Trump gave them six hours to stop shooting. That's not a misinterpretation this time.

Actually:


That staggered timeline is the same thing FOX broke LIVE with the VP...

As I said in another thread, I fully expect both of them to break the deal but you can't lay that off on Trump..., at least he made an effort to wrap this up...

OK. But it’s kind of a stretch to drop a series of 30k lb bombs on a country and then expect them to just stand down.
