6ixStringJack: Do you two idiots get paid to do this? You've got to be getting paid to do this.  |
| second: The Pentagon wants $200 billion in supplemental funds to pay for its war on Iran but money for long-term health care for veterans of the Iran war will likely push the ultimate price tag into the trillions of dollars. [go to link] [go to link] |

| THG:
US has suffered its worst 'strategic defeat since the Vietnam war'; and it may get worse |
| THG: A wow moment: Democrats make big gains in key battlegrounds |
| THG: He can't hide that |
| THG: Oh yeah, needless war lost |
| THG: Oh yeah. Faith in Trump, gone |
| THG: It's in their face every time they need anything. |
| THG: There is a difference between before Trump took office and now SOCOND. Rising costs his cult can't ignore. Health Care gone. Community clinics, gone. Jobs gone, and so much more. |
| second: Trump will go to great lengths to deny his losses and cover up for his failures.
We’ve seen this in his war with Iran. As the U.S. fails to meet Trump’s stated objectives there, he’ll continue moving the goalposts. Though he initially promised the Iranian people freedom, he’s abandoned that promise of late, suggesting that somehow that goal was already achieved, even though the Iranians remain under the thumb of a vicious theocracy.

| second: THG wrote: "Americans won't like Trump losing." Tens of millions of Americans won't know/believe that Trump lost in Iran because he will tell them that he won. In 2026, Trump is still telling them he won in 2020 against Biden and a large percentage of Americans still believe Trump won in 2020. [go to link] The kind of Americans who voted for Trump will be gullible enough to believe him when he says he won in Iran. |
| THG: He lost our allies, our prestige, our economy. You name it, he lost it. |
| THG: Americans won't like Trumps losing. |
| THG: That's right SECOND; Trump lost |

Trump Agrees To Iran's Victory Conditions.
Donald Trump yesterday showed how few cards the USA had to play in his war of choice, when he went from threatening to destroy Iranian people, culture and history, to agreeing to a two-week ceasefire and talks based on an Iranian ten point plan. The details of this plan (see below) amount to a comprehensive US defeat. If this indeed is the end of the war and that Iranian plan is the basis of a deal, it makes this the most pointless war and a complete waste in US history. Iran looks on the verge of emerging stronger, with the ability to generate massive new income, while the US looks, in a word, like a busted flush.
This is no run of the mill TACO. This is complete US strategic failure.

| second: Donald Trump’s decision to call off his apocalyptic strikes on Iran meant he once again lived up to the nickname Wall Street traders have given him: Trump Always Chickens Out.
“A whole civilization will die tonight,” the President said on Monday, adding with jaw-dropping glibness: “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
Does anyone expect us to believe him next time he makes such outrageous threats?

| second: Trump’s $200 billion Iran war supplemental is already testing GOP loyalty
Republicans in Congress want to support Trump, but they also want answers. “You gotta show me the candy before I’ll get in that car,” said Sen. John Kennedy, R-La.

Total cost to the USA for the Iranian exercise in futility is $200 billion, or $588 per person living in America.
