- if he was successful at eliminating their capabilities without doing more than surgical strikes that no one else could accomplish, I am very satisfied. If he gets into attempting regime change or boots on the ground, I am not.
- I was extremely pleased to see how the operation was carried out. Clearly trump deferred to professional military men who know their jobs well. He also did a masterful job at misdirection (as libs mocked "TACO Trump" for his supposed 2 weeks pause for a decision). Once Iran walked away from the table for good, Trump made his decision quickly and decisively. This not only increased the chance for success, but it made it much safer for the pilots who were never even fired at once. And compared to the constant stream of leaks from the Deep Staters in his first term, there were NO LEAKS from anyone. Airtight as it should be. Trump proved a lot here that he is capable of restraint, even when being goaded by his haters.
This must all be very scary to someone whose FP perspective is built on the foundation of appeasement. Add to that your complete mistrust and pathologic hatred of the president, and I realize that this is hard to watch. But sometimes hard decisions and actions are required for an overall better result.
If Trump fails me, I will say so. I sometimes defend him here simply because he is so irrationally attacked 24/7/365.
But at the end of the day, I trust him to handle this next massive challenge.
Open borders are fixed. Illegal immigrants - realistically just hoping to remove the criminal element really - in progress. Nuclear Iran - in progress. DEI - being dismantled. Deficit (yeesh! but given Dem court resistance, I am just hoping for better, but fail on this so far).
Amazingly though, Trump is just entering the 5th month of his 48 month term. So he is actually moving incredibly fast.
