Unlike you guys I won’t pretend to know what inner workings of an Iran deal will entail. None of us are privy to top secret or any other information.
to think that this was a bunch of bombing, a shut down of the SoH, and when it’s done the US won’t have gained anything is just typical media narrative type talking points.
listen to Marco Rubio talk from the Press Secretaries podium yesterday. He explained it perfectly. Iran with nuclear is way worse than 60 days of a barely war. When was the last time we even launched a missile or had a meaningful offensive attack?
this “war” lasted a few weeks, and the last few weeks have been spent in a standstill. It was/is barely a war, how much of an offensive attack did Iran perform? We lost 13 soldiers, half of which died in a refueling operation as I understand it. ( still of course never good to lose soldiers).
Remind me how often CNN posted a gas price tracker during the Biden years?
