This war is unnecessary, appears like it will be prolonged, will harm the economy, and will negatively impact the Rs in the midterms. No one in the U.S. asked for this.

As if none of this is really Trump’s fault.

Abject nonsense.

Speaker Johnson (member of Gang of 8 in all the briefings) mentioned that Kent is wrong to say there was no imminent threat.

Believe whom you want.

like him to resign over this shows deep fractures in MAGAland...I suspect his anti semite bias got the 'best' of him.

btw, have you found a coherent justification for this War/Incursion yet? None of our allies have, and they are certainly affected. This could be DJT's 'Waterloo' moment that makes an Impeachment vote next year very close.

Media seeks out RINOs and call it a day. Let's do a poll now of likely voters of both parties and Independents without a leading poll question.

I think Chris is the one who said MAGA was not fractured.

If Kent is an antisemite, then the Dems will indeed welcome him into the fold. (The only thing I know about him is that he resigned this morning.)

Do we need a justification more than prevention of nuclear war and terrorism. I don't think so. Impeaching a president for doing the exact same thing Obama did?...yeah, that sounds like something the Democrats would do. Who cares about the Constitution; political power for your party is all that counts.

As for Trump being impeached...he lit the fire of uranium enrichment to weapons grade by pulling us out of the JCPOA...and now you give him kudo's for going to war over it?...that's never going to fly.

Again...ad infinitum?...the JCPOA protected us w/o a single shot being fired...read the article I provided which debunks all the myths re the JCPOA...fully...and carefully.

JCPOA would have been over by now, right?...so Iran would have had the right to pursue nuclear weapons by now. And stop bringing up that insane thing, unless you enjoy pointing out that Obama was paying Iran to build nukes. Imagine if Trump released Russian funds to Russia...would you just say, "Well, it was Russia's money." No, you wouldn't. So stop doing that with regard to Obama. Everyone sees through it, no matter how many times you mention it.

and stating that he was pursuing a 'Regime Change' along with "Unconditional Surrender"?...you do see the difference, right?...maybe just a little? (fingers crossed).

Note that the same mechanisms that brought about the successful JCPOA (e.g. outright Seizures of Iranian assets) could again be used to negotiate an extension of the agreement...but sadly, Trump caved to the Zionist goal of Netanyahu (already explained)...and the pragmatic advantages seen by Putin of the U.S. withdrawing from the JCPOA...see the following summary. Whenever Foreign Affairs are Center Stage for DJT, ALWAYS keep Netanyahu, and/or Vladimir Putin in mind.

AI Overview

Yes, Russia continued and strengthened its aid to and cooperation with Iran after the Trump administration pulled the United States out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018. Russia adopted a policy of supporting Tehran against U.S. "maximum pressure," maintaining military and economic ties while pushing to keep the nuclear deal alive without American participation
.
Key Aspects of Continued Support Post-2018:
• Diplomatic and Political Support: Russia accused the U.S. of violating international law by withdrawing from the JCPOA and immediately began efforts to help Iran evade renewed U.S. sanctions, encouraging European nations to continue economic relations with Tehran.
• Military and Security Cooperation: The two countries deepened their defense ties. Moscow and Tehran cooperated on military drone and missile technology, particularly as Russia became increasingly reliant on Iranian technology for its invasion of Ukraine. Reports in 2026 even suggested Russia was providing intelligence to Iran regarding U.S. positions in the Middle East.
• Economic Cooperation: Despite the U.S. sanctions, Russia and Iran worked to strengthen trade links, including the creation of alternative payment systems to bypass the U.S. financial system, and discussed major investments in Iranian infrastructure, such as the Rasht-Astara railway corridor.
• Nuclear Sector Collaboration: Russia continued its nuclear energy projects in Iran, including work on additional units at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, even while maintaining that Iran's program should remain peaceful.

Rationale for Continued Support:
• Blocking U.S. Influence: Moscow aimed to prevent the collapse of the Iranian regime and strengthen a regional partner, which allowed Russia to project itself as a counterweight to American influence in the Middle East.
• Increased Dependency: Increased tension between Iran and the U.S. tended to make Tehran more dependent on Moscow, which served Russian geopolitical interests, as evidenced by the 20-year comprehensive strategic partnership agreement they pursued.

While Russia did not want Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, it was willing to accept a "protracted uncertainty" over the fate of the JCPOA rather than a formal collapse, all while defying U.S. efforts to isolate Tehran.
