Trump tells Congress hostilities in Iran ‘have terminated’ as War Powers deadline hits
... “The hostilities that began on February 28, 2026, have terminated,” Trump wrote. ...
I mean, that's true right?
We are in week 8, and the two week ceasefire which expires tomorrow has been extended indefinitely because Trump says Iran is too divided to speak with a unified voice.
The truth is whatever Humpty Trumpty says it is.
“I think we’re actually going to get some margin expansion,” Mr. Varghese added. ...
The point of war is to stop the enemy's ability to wage it.
That clearly has not happened in one month of operations.
The reason is because, despite all the sound and fury, the U.S. and Israel are not waging a real war.
War means destroying Iran's country utterly, depriving it of food and water, electricity and heat, shelter, income from oil, and imports of materials.
They can't bring themselves to do that. They don't have the nerve.
Worse, Iran is successfully depriving its neighbors of some of those things.
Sending in boots on the ground in these unacceptable circumstances is simply playing with more soldiers' lives.
Get serious or go home.

I mean, Trump was attacked for the things he said in 2016. Remember, he

That was in the South Carolina primary. Next day, primaries hold. Who
wins? Huge, huge majority. Donald Trump. We have voted on this over and
over and over again. Now what? We've already had how many? Seven
Americans die, not to mention 166 school children in our name for a war
that does not make one American safer.
Here.
Even today, strong approval of Donald Trump is only a 30% proposition at Rasmussen Reports.
