Ah, but according to both Trump and Kegsbreath, it is Trump alone who will be the one to declare that Iran has unconditionally surrendered "whether they know it or not".

Anyone notice? The US has admitted to six KIA in Kuwait and one in Saudi, all on the first day or two of the "war". None since? Reports say Iran has taken out several radar facilities, among other military targets, but no USian has been hurt or killed?

As I expected. The objective is chaos. No doubt Mossad and the CIA will spend the following decades agitating one faction against another.

MAGA military analyst braintrust says on the peace plan...
...sometimes you have to start a war, that's already a [40yr] war, to prevent a war, that is technically not a war in case congress may feel neglected...
regardless of the topic, the gop seem quite happy to accept proclamations of victory before\during\after any results, or even status quo.
tacos optional.
