For some reason his party kicked back enough that he gave up on "taking" Greenland as one example. His base is so 100% brainwashed and the media so 100% servile that he can do complete bout faces and they just live in the moment.

I mean, six months ago he had breathlessly going on about he was the PRESIDENT OF PEACE and DEMONCRATS LOVE ENDLESS WARS, and now somehow has the dipshits going at the SAME TIME how this really is not a war AND that he is ending a 48 year war.

They make their own reality and because this country saw fit to give MAGA unchecked power we all have to live in it.

That said ... he let Bibi dogwalk him into a cave he can't really get out of.

While he could just do the declare victory and pull our military out, Israel isn't going to stop and Iran will be forced to keep going because of Israel.

Now, they will blame it on all of our former allies that he spent a year verbally harganging, blowing up estalished commerce agreements and tarriffing, but, end of the day we will continue to suffer the effects of his setting the ME on fire.
