Except our own intelligence estimated 10 yr timeframe. But we attacked 3 sites in June. Obliterated, we were told by the WH Press.
And then this war, under the guise we were under “imminent threat.” Thats horse manure - and you know it. I wish some here could at least take that step back and acknowledge that. We were not under any imminent threat. There is no nuke or ballistic missile capable of reaching us from Iran in 2025 or 2026. The reasons for the war changed several times. Then it became well Israel was going to attack, so we feared our bases would get hit, so we attacked too. And then some on APC said this has nothing to do with Iran, it’s actually a power move against Russia and China (LOL).
So - since this back and forth will get nowhere. Let’s just talk about how this ends , because that’s what this thread is really about. Economic impact to us all. How do you envision Trump ending this? I can’t use the 4 letter word that represents a Mexican food item, but I’d be willing to bet we are going to end up getting a terrible deal when all is said and done. But it’ll be played as a victory.
