WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he believes the war in Iran “militarily is effectively over,” suggesting that — at least for now — he’s not prepared to resume the bombardment that has devastated the Islamic Republic and caused reverberations across the global economy.

      Citizens of the US believe it too. We got our expensive invincible airforce bases leveled, our protection treaty racket over OPEC laughed out of existence, our vaunted navy ran for the hills while cargo ships got sunk, our economy is trashed, for no results whatsoever. And our legendary military is no longer scary to those that would challenge it in the future. All by a country we wont even admit is a mid-tier power. Its possibly a more thorough embarrassment than Vietnam for our nationalists and warhawks.

      All in all we had it coming and its long overdue. But its criminal to all those killed hurt to one level or another, and the trashing of the global economy. And israel still plays us like a hand puppet to this day. Americans will personally pay the price for the zionists war-orgy on an enemy that wasnt a real military threat to America at all.

      I would tend to agree, but I’m still not sure what the purpose of the war was, so I’m fuzzy on if the US achieved its goals or not.

    It’s ironic that the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial War has ushered in a Congress that’s going to get the Epstein files released and that fucker will get hoist by his petard.

    Trump also believes he’s a very stable genius and the entire planet knows that’s bullshit, so what’s worth reporting here again?
