Hate to hear that, but it's the smartest thing for them to do at present, IMO. They have figured out that they can put the balls of the global economy, the Trump presidency, and Israel all in a vice grip at the exact same time. They'd be stupid to give up that power because it would mean that they'd be right back in this same spot 6 months from now. Iran is unlikely to negotiate a ceasefire for the simple reason that it has already embraced total war with an endgame to extract a heavy cost on the U.S. and Israel to establish future deterrence.
Decapitation doesn't end the Theocracy in Iran. Now the people are in the streets supporting Ayatollah Jr.

Trump is so f*cking stupid.
 
It was our missile. Iran obvi. stole it then dropped it on their own people. Just another insane and inconceivable Trump conspiracy theory.
Somewhere in Buckhead, there is a very gullible boomer who is currently reading that exact conspiracy slop on one of his social media feeds and will be here before too long to regale us with this newfound wisdom.
 
As a thought experiment, let's pretend it's true. #1) How would the Iranian attack have been different from what they have already done? I suspect not much. #2) How would our defense against the attack have been any different than what it is now? I suspect not much. #3) How would the American appetite for war with Iran be different from what it is now? I suspect it would be far, far greater.

I'm not saying we should sit back and allow ourselves to be attacked. But I think reality suggests the primary difference in outcome would have been more public support for a conflict, which would have been a good thing for the administration.

Anyway, it's highly, highly unlikely to be true because this administration lies for convenience dozens of times a day, because the administration has offered no specific claim or evidence of the how/when/where of an attack, and because the Iranian government is hostile, not suicidal.

IF the purpose was regime change, that could only be done from within. That means spies, pipelines, and Black Ops instead of relying solely on missiles.

Everything we've done has improved Putin and Xi's hand in geopolitics and weakened ours. We are an incredibly stupid people led by an incredibly stupid Tangerine Palpatine. Iran has drawn us in. We clumsily removed anyone willing to negotiate. What's next - kill the remaining 92M Iranians/Persians?

If the admin. is going to be evil, let's at least have a proper villain who has a firm grasp on geopolitics. Trump is so bad, I'm missing Richard Milhous Nixon. lol
 
war is costing about $1 Billion a day not counting ammo.

estimated we have fired $800 million in Tomahawks alone.
...and we're running out of interceptors to "obliterate" cheapass drones that are damaging many countries across the region.
 

That $200M that Noem spent on make-up, hair extensions, a saddle, and a horse seem modest in comparison. And I bet no Americans died during the making of Noem's commercial. Q: When Trump canned Noem for trying to throw him under the bus for the commercial, did the government let her keep the hair extensions?
 
Thank you for posting. Again, as I have said before and being that I frequently post on the Ukraine War thread: this is so freaking delicious that I can almost not stand the sugar high!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the next time St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago takes questions from reporters, someone asks St. Donald, "What does Zelenskyy's ass taste like?"
