Was it ever even a war to begin with? Why were we even there? No one knows. It was always trumps war because it was trumps personal interest that Americas military be there. It was never America's war to begin with-- its Israels.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Does anyone remember the telephone call transcription of when he talked with the Mexican president about the border wall in his first term?
This is the probably same.
He's just expensively self-soothing to deflect his own attention (such as it is) from his catastrophic failure.
What do u mean? This war has made him billions, he did win. At the taxpayers expense of course 🙄
If we can take any consolation from this, it's how funny it is that they saddled JD Vance with the task of polishing this turd.
Vance, who so far has failed at everything...

What an unbelievable waste of money and lives.
It only looks like a waste to you, because you're not on the receiving end of all the Pentagon spending. Nor are you someone who jerks off to a pile of bloody children's backpacks.
I'm never going to stop thinking about that school they bombed
He honors 250 years of the USA by definitively losing the war he definitively started for no definitive reason.
I have a hard time sussing whether any of these mainstream papers publish these things to justifiably punish Trump for an unconstitutional and poorly managed war or if they're just trying to keep America engaged in serving Israel's expansionist dreams.
Well, show me a mainstream US press outlet whose editorial policy is opposed to the Gaza genocide, then we could compare. But I can't seem to find one.
