USA exports at record levels. Trump does not need to crawl up to europe. It is europe that is floundering. C grade armies and struggling economies.

Trump is the 2nd best President since 1948.

And which PM is the best that Australia has ever had?

Trump lying again last night he informed us Vance would be touching down in Islamabad soon, this morning he is still in Washington, and no one from Iran wants to talk to Trump so there will be no Iranian diplomats to talk to ?? because they don't Trust America.

I find it some what admirable that the USA under Trump would negotiate with terror and Iran's regime obsession of sponsoring it.Only if the far left communist,socialist and anarchist would stop the insanity of support/sympathizing with the Nazi type regime ,perhaps the entire region could be at peace.

It is the best war America has ever had. Little lives lost. Killed their leader. Wiped out their navy and airforce. Rate it 9.5 out of 10. Vietnam be 0.5.

If war was scored like a videogame you'd be making a good point. But this war was started to gain certain objectives, although there's been a lot of wobble about what those objectives actually are.. Have those objectives been achieved?

Agree, mission accomplished. And ... USA oil sales at all time high.

Shame the Iranians didn't take advantage, and oust the rest of the govt. Oh well, USA can only help so much, sometimes the locals have to take action & responsibility for themselves.

Nuke capability knocked back a decade or so, and, you're welcome UK & EU, as you were in striking distance.

These were/are the objectives:

• Prevent Nuclear Weapon Development

• Destroy Iran's Missile Capabilities

• Annihilate the Iranian Navy

• Dismantle Regional Proxies

The first three are largely complete and the fourth is well underway.

What has Iran won, but the hearts of leftists around the world?

So, the unconditional surrender of Iran was just an aspirational goal?

The surrender of nuclear material was a mere whim?

Reopening the strait of Hormuz was meant ironically?

As for nuclear weapon capability...didn't Trump say before this latest round that had already been done and dusted. Or do you mean his claim before the war that development of nuclear weapons was "imminent"?

As has been pointed out be military observers, there are 2 Iranian navies. The crucial one isn't big ships. But the legion of fast boats that operates in the strait of Hormuz. Has that been destroyed?

Iran's missile capabilities are destroyed?

your right about nothing losers say mean anything and thats why you are irrelevant as well as your moronic idol.

check your facts and dont be a nitwit. He withdrew from the nuclear accord agreement negotiated by Obama. His own intelligence service told him there was no threat to the US and Israel was playing him for the fool he is. Take your meds and a nap.

So US intel got leaked to you a guy called Dan O? That would be considered an offence. You are a liar.

Are you seriously saying Iranians had a chance of bringing down the Iranian governmeny KhunLa ?? You cannot fight a government with fists when your up against armed police as seen by the slaughter seen on the streets of Tehran. Woul'd you hit the Streets to Demonstrate knowing you will be shot dead ? Silly Post.

If Trump never started the war he gets criticised for doing nothing.

Y needs to update the topic to

"Current number of dead Americans now and not at all a quiet front".

Could have pulled a worker's strike, like Poland or Chile did. There are way to change things that don't get yourself killed.

Actually it tells me the men, like things just the way they are

Trump is weak as shown by his Ceasefire demands all gob as usual from the Yanks. Wobbled like a Blancmange.

Especially given that in a previous life he promised to keep America out of mid-East wars.

And there is the fact that his supporters had repeatedly cited the superiority of Donald Trump over other presidents because he had kept the country war-free.

Trump commands the Ship of State to do a u-turn and the first passenger overboard is Peace with the MAGA crew cheering on.

You don't understand KhunLa you cannot go against a country rum by Islamists they would simply force you at gunpoint. look how they put down the Iranian Demale football team who asked the Aussies for Asylum, the Iranian government threatened there family's that if they did not return to Iran there would be consequencies a week later they all returned to Iran.

If not willing to make the sacrifice for freedom, then don't complain about living conditions.

Glad our fore fathers made the sacrifice for their families' future, or we'd have a silly King & Queen, and no freedom of expression. I wonder if that 2nd Amendment has anything do to with still having all the rights that the Constitution guarantees.

They wanted to get rid of the Shah, and put a religious nutter in charge. What were they thinking ... now live with that choice.

He ran his campaign on no more wars and Make America Great Again.

Then almost immediately after gaining office did a total 180 on war and bizarrely starts to declare totally love and loyalty to Israel !

Some still say he's Putin's puppet 🤣

So, another Tuesday, another TACO. You couldn't make this up.🤣

Trump: "You have until Monday to resume negotiating!"

Iran: "eff off, not doing it."

Trump: "Uh, okay, I will extend the deadline."

Isn't it great when an underdog stands up to a bully.

It's not only the Iranians. The whole world has come to the realization that the evil 5 y/o in the WH needs a firm hand, not coddling.

Actually, I can't think of another human being in the history of the planet that is more deserving of an extended and intense round of spanking.
