I think this woman suffers from bipolar or something. Didn't she just vote in favor of the last war powers act last week?

Monday: We achieved a total victory. They’re so defeated. They’re ready for talks.

Tuesday: People are saying they never saw a win like this before. It’s truly remarkable. All of the experts said they never saw a win like this before. This may be the biggest win in modern history.

Wednesday: We are ready to send ground troops to control the Strait of Hormuz. We are asking for our NATO allies to assist with this war. It’s going to be a Great War. One to liberate! Eye-raneans from a terrible regime. Very very nasty regime ran by terrible power hungry leaders that don’t believe in women’s rights. Truly terrible. Don’t you think so, Pete?

Thursday: No, who said that? No we are perfectly fine. We do not need NATO or Europe! Victory keeps coming. The fake news won’t report it.

Friday: I’m giving Iran 48 hours or else something really really bad. I can’t say it it’s so bad. Will happen. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Monday: I’m giving it 5 days. talks are going well. It’s really going amazing.

Tuesday-Wednesday: *closed door congressional sessions about sending in ground troops*

About an hour before the markets opened, he declared that “productive discussions” were underway between the U.S. and an unknown Iranian official. This was quickly denied by Iran.

It was mentioned on CNBC 1700-hour segment. Of course, it was only said that something didn't smell right.

And where are the Democrats? Why aren’t they screaming about this?

Robert Pape on Offramp to avoid Stage 3 of the Escalation Trap. Pape has advised every president since W, including Trump 45. Pape also said he has talked to about 400 people in the past 30 days about this--Republicans, Democrats, economists, Nobel Prize winners, people in govt, etc, and he said that no one sees any alternatives.

What would a deal that Iran would find attractive? His 2 main points for Iran are:

1) Give up all oil sanctions

2) Militarily contain Israel somehow. Israel has to join the NPT.

If Trump goes to Stage 3, Pape said that Trump is getting into LBJ territory and the next chance to even talk to the Iranians would then be after January 6, 2027, after the next Congress is seated.

Pape called this "The last best chance to avoid going over the cliff of disaster".

From 44:24 in the interview with retired Lt Col Daniel Davis.

Cuck Schumer is working on his strongly-worded letter as we speak.

If he deploys troops on the ground he does both house and senate

Couldn't that be said for almost all these Maga politicians. They claim to be America first but instead prioritize Israel's interests

No one can because it won’t.
Buckle up for MAGA justifications for why we are sacrificing our service members.

To what end? Like, maybe it will break through to the political class, but that's about it.

The best the Democrats can do right now is record keep in some Excel spreadsheets and hope they get an AG and DOJ that has the ability to actually successfully prosecute a case within the statute of limitations.

Welp, we can close this thread down now until Jan 6, 2027 then. Because none of the above is going to happen.

The Straight is open, just not to US and its allies.

Only a handful of Indian and Chinese tankers have been allowed through by Iran. Otherwise, the strait is only open for fish.
