Editorial: If the ceasefire holds, Donald Trump’s ill-starred foray into the Middle East will have left the Iranian regime stronger than it was before the conflict
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.”

When you vote for somebody who lied to you their first term, you’re voting for whatever they want their second term.
Your opinion is incorrect. There were two good reasons to believe this:
His record: Donald spent part of his first term disentangling us from the forever wars, particularly in Syria and Afghanistan, where his admin negotiated our withdrawal.
He literally said ‘No More Forever Wars’ during his campaign. Those exact words. Repeatedly.
Record corresponding to rhetoric is a very good reason to believe someone will adhere to what they say.
I did read your response. And if the rest of Americans think like you the situation is more dire than I thought.
Believing the word of a clearly demented fascist that will be in charge of the world’s biggest military, the joke writes itself. And that’s after you already had 4 years of trump.
Every single vote is a way to legitimize the American government and system, the American government was founded on the idea of invading other people. If Americans want to vote against wars maybe they should actually organize and go shoot their politicians instead of voting for the parties that have been nothing but warmongers and coup doers in the past century.
Be that as it may, he’s acting in direct contradiction to the objective wishes of the state and the electorate, so pretending this is something the American people support is stupid.
Nobody claimed this war had popular support. The legal framework of international relations consider the actions of the Head of State as the actions of the country itself.
AmericaDONALD and BIBI have lost THEIR war with Iran.America did not vote for this, did not want it, and did not support it. In fact, America purposely voted against forever wars in 2024.

Why would you believe voting for Trump was voting against wars? It makes no sense

And you believed him? You believed Trump’s word? LOL
Don’t reply if you’re not willing to actually read a person’s response. It just makes you look silly.
