    Difference being Russia attacked Ukraine and Biden had nothing to do with it. Trump offensively started a war for no reason other than cuz of Israel according to his own words.... Also the economy was creating 200k jobs a month when we had those issues... We're losing jobs now

    You're extremely dumb no offense

    The Trump Administration, as always, making rash decision without thinking things through. You would think they have a plan to address this already, but in typical Trump fashion, they don't. It's not as if they don't have the capability. They were able to organize and put together Project 2025/Agenda 47 in regards to installing loyalists and putting out more propaganda and they seems to be doing just fine. It's no surprise though, when it comes to being evil, vindictive, authoritative, they do pretty well, but putting the actual interest of Americans at the forefront, well they suck.

    Oh, oh, pick me!

    Build more solar and wind, emphasize EVs, and push through the myriad of alt-energy projects that were started under Biden.

    Alas, we will get small releases from the strategic reserves and we will make a big deal of selling off more leases on public lands that will take years to come on line. Drill baby, drill.

    Yet men like Trump will call it a beautiful thing, when money is more important to him than human lives. Only a psychopath would use the slogan Big Beautiful Clean Coal in this day and age. Nobody in the Trump family would ever have to resort to working in a coal mine or living next to a refinery spewing toxins to pay their bills. The same goes for risking their lives for their country fighting in war.

    He has no idea what he's saying. He's heard the phrase and think it makes him look tough.

    Still wanted me to log in but read the begining, it's a very curious case how so many people hate this country. It can't just be 1st and 2nd generation immigrants because we have tons of way older Irish and Italian decendant woke men and women also on the train. They root for some pretty nasty men and cultures that if they actually won would be bring forth horrible consequences to them. Thankfully this is the greatest nation on earth, enough for some dumb people to hate it with no consequence to our and their lives.....

    What a load of crock

    "Wait and see how it goes "
    "Better than expected"

    The unavoidable truth is that Trump , both in midnight hammer , and in this war has been the aggresors .... And is flinging poo at the wall to find an explanation for how he was justified.

    And "now that it has started etc "

    You get the benefit of the doubt when you are a person who has accountability.

    Should Draymond green or Lu dort get the benefit of the doubt when they injured someone ?

    We've got the Jerry sloan of Presidents running us right now .

    Besides WSJ , doesn't negativity and doom and gloom sell ?

    I'm not a tucker carlson fan per se , but his perspective that censorship and persecution will increase in the United states is correct , I think .

    Trump doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt imo . He's as self centered and risk-seeking a president that we've ever had .

    Maybe this works out great for us in the long run , but it won't be because things go to plan.

    Look , game theory and strategy are NOT easy . But how is it that 95% of people don't realize that the other side has agency ?

    The president should not be allowed to launch a ?? long "special operation" costing a billion dollars a day .

    Using 1943 as a comparison would be laughable if I heard a family member come up with it . To have it published is a bit more dystopian.

    Prediction - besoz will be living in China / not the US in under 3 years . Before anyone can claim it's a radical liberal who taxes poor Jeff too much

    Why address people’s actual concerns when you can straw man some really obscure talking points from an opinion piece?

    Claim that Americans want us to lose, claim that we support the enemies, where have we seen this? It’s the same exact tactics from 03.

    Questioning why the war is happening?

    You hate America and love terrorist


    Concerned about the cost of the war?

    You hate America and love terrorist.


    Concerned about US troops dying, concerned about foreign civilians dying?

    You hate America, hate the Troops and love the terrorist.


    Concerned about regime change being a disaster?

    You hate America and love the terrorist.


    Ultimately don’t support the war?

    You definitely hate America, and are woke.

    When Donald Trump spoke to ABC News’ Jonathan Karl on Thursday, he was eager to talk about how pleased he was with himself and his decision to start a war in Iran. “I hope you are impressed,” the Republican president said. “How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?”

    When Karl explained that the public had real concerns about what happens next, Trump replied, “Forget about ‘next.’”
    That three-word reply offered a valuable insight into his perspective: Trump apparently doesn’t want to be bothered about consequences. To the contrary, there’s reason to believe he and his team want to have fun with the war.

    On Wednesday, the White House released a brief video via social media that combined real footage of combat in Iran and computer-generated sequences from a popular combat video game. A day later, Team Trump followed that up with another online video that spliced together snippets from popular action movies (Tom Cruise features prominently) with war footage, alongside text that read, “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.”

    Somebody gave Trump a history lesson and he's throwing in WWII buzzwords now. Which is the last time we actually had an unconditional surrender, after millions of lives lost and major cities bombed into the stone age, including two nukes.

    Change the narrative. Claim victory. Move on.

    It’s the Trumpian Way.
