Translation: his attention span has been exceeded, so he'll stand in front of a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, then move on to the next distraction while the war drags on.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
So it is a war. Which means it is illegal because Congress has not sanctioned it. Arrest the criminal fucker.
And we still don't even have a declared goal for this war. Uhm... Besides all the bullshit religious rhetoric, of course.
‘Very Complete, Pretty Much’
Almost nowhere near?
Definitely almost?
Precisely in general?
"A concept of a plan of an exit strategy."
Sounds like my colleague's progress report this morning.
Concepts of completion
Second verse, same as the first.
It's almost like America is a failed state because Americans are braindead morons who will let you rob them blind as long as you tell them they are part of an extra special freedom team.
Almost?
Yeah! Don't unsell our stupidity and failures! We've work tirelessly to be proudly ignorant. Stupid intellectuals trying to give us the benefit of the doubt are the real no brian morans!
Americaaaaaaaaa....
FUCK YEAH
Coming to save!..
And here I was thinking that it takes one side to start a war but two to stop it. The US seems to be in a no win scenario. Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory, or they commit to a ground campaign, which is Afghanistan all over again but much bigger in scope.
Yeh, the US opened Pandora's box here. You can't just close it again.
Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory,
That was the greatest victory US ever had. We won, and we won bigly. Iran leader was begging me not to kill him. Iranian children were hiding like dogs. Some people say we didn't win but they are traitors and communists.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
This is damage control on the the stock market and posturing for his base, Iran doesnt seem to be backing down and the longer this drags out the more certain disaster for the global economy becomes.
Probably. The outlook for a long war might pop a bubble that's keeping "his" economy afloat.
Saw the multitude of economic indicators and worried for a minute.
My kitchen has been pretty much finished for the last 5 years
He had a press conference, very recently, "over soon, but if Iran does anything more, destruction of everything". including reference to shipping in Straits. Iran knows he's bluffing, and has run out of missiles, and will not put the navy within their drone range, but at any rate, Trump's Israel masters won't let him off the hook.
Lol the USA have not run out of missiles lol
They don't produce that many per year, and they need rare earth material access to build more. Trump feeling the need to say there is an unlimited supply, should be proof enough that they've run out. The Quadrupling of orders could affect future wars, but is a definite reaction to limited current supplies.
Trump is full of shit first of all. And we are nowhere close to running low on munitions
The cost differential between ballistics and interceptors (10x or more) would be one factor but doubt the US/Israel is close to running out yet.
Oh! Stop projecting and retreat already! Nobody else asked for any of this. This is on you and your moron squad alone.
The good news and the bad news is this doesn't indicate the war is over.
They are running out of interceptors and now they hope they can pull out and deescalate until they get hit where it hurts...
Trump will end the war, claim success and oil will be below $60 by summer. Announcement coming this week
Thank fuck for taco's
just another two week project gone awry
Israel got to kill some children and invade Lebanon. They used this fool to gain couple of smaller and bigger wins again. Nothing else matters here.
