If you're not proud to be American, you're an a$$hole regardless of your race, religion, political bent, or gender (or lack thereof).

Even as a Trump supporter, I chuckle at "2-weeks". But as you say, it seems like the right answer. There should be no need to rush on this, at least not now. Hopefully momentum builds for the Iranians to overthrow their government in that time.

I think the best situation is for an uprising by the Iranian people. Somewhere in one of these threads it mentioned that we need to get "real" news and not so subtle encouragement to do so. I agree 100%.

The threat is not militarily. It's through terrorist attacks and disruption of our very comfy lives. Can the average Americans accept that without losing their collective sh#t?

I don't get why this is so hard for some to understand. The US has made a lot of progress building relationships with many in the ME (Bahrain, Saudi, Egypt, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar). There's still a lot of work to do, but it gets much easier without the constant threat from Iran and their puppet terrorist groups (Hezbollah, Hamas, PIJ, etc.).

Agreed. I was wrong about him. I don’t agree with him on a lot of things, but it’s refreshing to have a politician doing and saying what he thinks is right and not just the party line. He’s got my vote.

You can’t watch it without be proud.

More proof that we're on the right side of this.

Neither are those that refuse to leave a burning building. Just be prepared for the consequences.

At this point, the lawlessness and rioting have taken over anything peaceful or helpful to their cause. Anyone participating at this point is not innocent.

The Republicans have the Democrats on the run with this issue. If they would start working on comprehensive immigration reform, it would finish then.

Any other politician would have stopped to spike the ball after any one of these accomplishments. Not him.

My goodness is this guy killing it. On the same day that the Dems admitted they ran a guy they felt needed to be in a wheel chair. The contrast couldn’t be more stark.

This is why people are funding some idiot's Go-Fund-Me for using the n-word against a child. People are fed up with the double standard. It's all wrong.

You're old enough to remember Abe Lincoln made similar promises.

The success or failure of the tariffs, and the midterm elections for the republicans for that matter, is whether or not we start to see new trade agreements finalized by some of bigger trade partners like the Europeans, Japan, and India. Given progress with these countries, I think it will take some pressure off of the stock market and the repercussions of the "embargo" on China.

You can get on board with the rest of the world or go sit in the corner with China. Your choice commie.

I’ll ignore the first paragraph since it has nothing to do with this topic. This debt is unsustainable. There has to be a reckoning. Would you rather keep the status quo and continue to borrow from the future and just let it collapse at some point or make sacrifices now that may start to balance spending/revenues?

I have no idea if this is the correct path or not. I have to think there are very smart people preparing these plans. I think they may have underestimated the unwillingness of this country to make any sacrifice, even for a short period of time, for the greater good. Previous generations would be ashamed.

Tariffs and higher prices.

Me too. Just because this country has been successful, doesn't mean we should be taking on massive debt to be the world's caretaker. There are too many problems here that have been ignored while $$$ just keeps flowing overseas.

Especially after routing Ukranian in Kursk in the past week as well.

Only an a$$hole wouldn't cheer for that kid.

But where are the security guarantees????

Zelensky lost a lot of creditability and American support today.
