This came back to bite me

People are allowed to change their minds. So, I have no major quarrel with Crusader Frank’s turnabout. I disagree with him. But that’s also ok.

If one denies that Iran was seeking (very hard and altogether too fast) to develop nuclear weaponry, then anybody who voted for Trump (in part) on his campaign claims about seeking to avoid war will probably conclude that Trump flip flopped.

If one (such as me) accepts that the insane Iranian Islamofasicsts were seeking (too hard and too fast) to develop nuclear weapons, then the use of our military against that regime makes perfect sense.

I’m curious as to which other campaign claims made by them candidate Trump he hasn’t worked on accomplishing.

To keep these posts reasonably brief, I hope we can discuss those “other things” one at a time.
"Based on what Jared Kushner told me I thought Iran would attack us." -- "Trump" on why he suddenly decided to abandon his "No New Wars" Pledge

It's like the the scene in Holy Grail where King Arthur describes how he became King, just a dumb reason. But this was Trump justification for taking us to war that get more horrifically bad day after day

Trump still hasn't figured out that his "Greatest Ally" does not listen to him, does not care what he has to say and does not care about Trump's plans if any.

Not sure how many of my old friend can still support this madness

Ok.

Let’s consider what we already know. (I exclude the left wing Trump haters since they tend not to be honest about such things.)

  1. Iran was indeed enriching Uranium to 60%.
  2. There is absolutely no reason for that high level of enrichment OTHER than to enrich it to 90%. And the sole reason for that is — yep — nuclear weapons.
  3. 60% uranium enrichment can become 90% in only 7 to 10 days.
Now, it is true that this does NOT mean that the Iranian regime was going to do so. I acknowledge that.

However, under all the circumstances (“death to America,” “death to Israel” and what those evil bastards were doing to their own people) what would justify taking the risk? I maintain that it would have been quite irresponsible of President Trump to simply take that risk.
 
Take a nerve pill. There are no "nation-ending unforced errors".
Just strategic maneuvers for long-term national security, unless the $40T national debt goes unaddressed, then we're screwed...

It will never be addressed
It will be okay.
 
I wonder if 'Frank' bit the dust and one of his kids/grandkids/wife took over his account, might as well believe in that conspiracy theory, it's no less crazy than any of the ones he believes in, :dunno:

President Trump has literally reordered the world to our benefit.
 
Here's total nonsense

"Based on what Jared Kushner told me I thought Iran would attack us." -- So much for the hundreds of billion that we spend on Intel and surveillance every year
Stop lying, the whole quote is: “Based on what Steve [Witkoff] and Jared [Kushner] and Pete [Hegseth] and Marco [Rubio] were telling me, I thought [Iran] was going to attack us.”

What it means​

  • Trump was explaining his reasoning for a preemptive strike on Iran.
  • He framed it as acting on advice and assessments from his team, not solely Kushner.
  • Critics have interpreted the comment as him shifting responsibility onto advisers, while supporters say he was describing normal reliance on briefings.

From Chat GPT no less. Simple research is something you apparently can't or refuse to do before posting your tripe.
