[Moonglow]

I don't care what Iran thinks.

Possibly a distinction with little difference:

US denies Iranian claim that it hit American warship trying to enter Strait of Hormuz

• "'This is a serious warning from the naval forces of the IRGC. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed' - Iranian media has published an audio message said to be from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
• An estimated 20,000 seafarers on 2,000 ships have been stuck in the strait since the US-Iran war began in February
• Trump's 'Project Freedom' could become a dangerous flashpoint after almost four weeks of the US-Iran ceasefire - read our correspondent's analysis
• Meanwhile, the UAE says a tanker affiliated with its state-owned oil company has been hit in the Strait of Hormuz. Where is the strait - and why is it so important?"

AKA LIES

All we get is lies from Trump about Iran, why is he always lying

They are still very grateful for your support in a time of war the enemy needs all the help they can get. I hear they plan to give you a medal

YOU are rooting for us to lose to the mullahs you troll.

Trump is embarrassing us against these Iranians. He posted a full hand of UNO cards which is a losing hand. He hasnt got one ounce of enriched nuclear material and he got the strait closed. I am all for winning wars not losing them. I am all for not starting wars we lose.

Is Pakistan a "state sponsor of terrorism"?

Yes, in a big way. Also they were a major Taliban backer.

Lies on all sides probably.
Which one launched an illegal war of aggression against a sovereign state on the opposite side of the planet?

Trump is desperate to cut and run, but Americans are already asking ask what their $70 billion+ bought - beyond the opportunity to pay $4.46 for a gallon of gas.

For Trump and his Republican Party, the implications of a continued impasse are grim.​

​

An unresolved conflict would likely mean the global economic fallout, including high U.S. gasoline prices, will persist, putting further pressure on Trump, whose poll numbers are falling, and darkening Republican candidates' prospects ahead of November’s midterm congressional elections. ​

​

Those costs highlight a deeper problem: the war has failed to achieve many of Trump's stated goals.​

​

While there is little doubt that waves of U.S. and Israeli strikes heavily degraded Iran’s military capabilities, many of Trump’s often-shifting war objectives - from regime change to shutting Iran's path to a nuclear weapon - remain unfulfilled.​

It's being projected that Iran will be forced to shut down drilling in less than a month because it's storage facilities will be full. They know that will permanently damage those wells. Also the regime has run out of the money to pay it's IRGC thugs to intimidate the Iranian people which means that force is going to melt away as the people start to revolt. Iran is coming apart at the seams and it's BECAUSE of the masterful way Trump has approached this! He's destroying the world's number one sponsor of terror and he's doing it with almost no loss of American lives!

It's six months until the midterms, Schmidlap...a life time in politics. I think the price of gasoline will be back to around $3 a gallon by then. So what are you on the left running on? The policies that are destroying Minn., California, New York and Washington State? Good luck with that, little buddy! Not enough people are paying attention to the main stream media these days to have them provide cover for the idiots you people have put in charge of blue States and cities.

Your hyper-partisan rant that targets the increasing majority of Americans who disapprove of Trump's "little excursion" is taken for what it's worth.

Americans' Overall Assessment

You can stick with what Trump wants you to parrot.

Parrot the facts?

Most Americans acknowledge the reality.

What reality? The reality that we are fighting Iran because Iran is blocking the Strait forcing oil prices higher? Who were we fighting in 2022 when gas prices were even higher? And how unpopular did that make Joe Biden?

How about the reality that Trump isn't running for anything so his "popularity" really doesn't matter much.

Inevitable, desperate diversion noted.

(The average U.S. retail price for regular gasoline in January 2025 was $3.08 per gallon. Trump has driven it up to $4.39 today.)

Continued evasion and deflection from your supporting anything you've claimed with actual evidence gets tiresome. If you can't back it up, nor defend it, don't claim it.

Trump has driven nothing up, Iran has. Trump is trying to get it down. And $4.39 sure is a sight better than the $7.00/gallon many were paying under Joe Bedpan. We'll live.

Maybe drive less for a while, stay home and play with the dog. Do it for the environment.

Better still, buy an EV, then you won't care about gas prices.
