He's bombed the crap out of the Regime, especially at the top.
That's a win for starters.

We told you that in 2024. You responded by saying he was going to stop WWIII.

You're now saying the exact opposite, so I'm curious.

When are you going to finally say it?

Why is it Trump's fault, crybabies? 😭


It's already been laid out, repeatedly, and in more detail than this argument frankly deserves.

Every supposed justification for this war traces back to one of two realities. Either it exists because Donald Trump unilaterally shredded the nuclear agreement negotiated under Barack Obama, or it was materially worsened by that decision to the point where escalation became inevitable.

That isn't spin, it isn't partisan framing, it's causality.

You don't get to detonate the constraints, dismantle the inspections regime, reintroduce maximum pressure, and then act surprised when the situation deteriorates into open conflict. That outcome was baked in the moment the deal was torn up.

Inescapable fact.

It was also in Project2025.

If it weren't for Trump, diplomacy would have prevailed and war, all this needless death and global suffering wouldn't be needed.

Let's go back to 1979. "DEATH TO ISRAEL. DEATH TO AMERICA!!"

The difference is that Trump is trying to put an end to it, when all others allowed it grow and fester and accomplish goals... while also being given tribute money in the billions 💵💸💵💸 by Cowardice. You could even see Obama really struggle to put out the words that the money was for 'the people'.  Grin Acting is a hard job for those who perform for the Media propaganda Show.

Your gripe SK, like many Lefties on the sidelines now.
Is just the selfish need for Oil, petrol, etc.
Well tough luck sook.
The destruction of Terrorism is both more important and a honourable cause than your comfort zone here in Oz, which is disrupted more from our lack to provide for ourselves, than Trump's actions.

Stop being a sook.
Stop making excuses.
Stop blaming others.
Stop being a coward.
And go help the cause.

You gotta be in it to win it and who dares wins.

Leftism is showing that it's moral compass virtue signalling has a fridge magnet attached to it.

So let's get this straight.

You're outraged that Barack Obama unfroze Iran's own money as part of a deal explicitly designed to halt their nuclear program.

You've spent years insisting that any money reaching Iran is intolerable because it "funds terrorism", a supposedly absolute principle.

Fine. Let's apply it consistently.

What, then, do you call it when Donald Trump eases sanctions on Iranian oil?

We're talking about roughly 140 million barrels, sitting there waiting to be sold, with a headline value pushing $14 billion. Even if you stretch credibility to its limits and assume a 30–40% haircut through sanctions leakage, logistics, and middlemen, you're still staring at $8–9 billion flowing back to Tehran, with Trump's name on it.

Not frozen assets. Not legacy funds. Fresh revenue.

So which is it?

Either money going to Iran is an unforgivable evil that "funds terrorism", in which case you now have to explain why facilitating billions in oil revenue is somehow different, or your earlier outrage was never about principle in the first place.

You don't get to scream about Obama "giving Iran money" when he returned what was already theirs, then fall strangely silent when Trump's actions help generate billions in new income.

Make it make sense.

And if Donald Trump is supposedly trying to "put an end to it", by what metric are you judging that success?

Because right now, Iran is actively retaliating across the region in response to US actions and strikes on its allies. Escalation is not containment. Expansion is not resolution. So is this what "ending it" looks like to you, a widening conflict with more actors, more fronts, and no defined endpoint?

Or are we supposed to pretend this is all part of some grand strategy that magically resolves itself later?

Let's be blunt. If it's no longer about regime change, no longer about nuclear containment, and no longer about asserting regional dominance, then what exactly is the objective?

What does "victory" actually mean here?

Because "putting an end to it" isn't a strategy, it's a slogan. It's the kind of vague, unfalsifiable language you use when you either don't have a clear objective, or you know the real objective won't survive scrutiny.

So spell it out.

What is the measurable end state? What conditions need to exist for you to say, "this is over"?

Until you can answer that, all you're defending isn't a plan, it's an improvisation with a body count that is funding Iranian terrorism by your own logic.

That's it? 

You give up so easily on the mere mention of a contradiction you hold.

The cognitive dissonance is so overpowering, you instantly white flag?

Maybe you should take some of your own advice:
