  • Congress looks for Trump’s exit plan as the Iran war drags on

    From apnews.com

    President Donald Trump took the United States to war without a vote of support from Congress, but lawmakers are increasingly questioning when, how and at what cost the war with Iran will come to an end. Three weeks into the conflict, the toll is becoming apparent. At least 13 U.S. military personnel have died, and more than 230 have been wounded. A $200 billion request from the Pentagon for war funds is pending at the White House. Allies are under attack, oil prices are spiking and thousands of U.S. troops are deploying to the Middle East with no endgame in sight. “The real question is: What ultimately are we ... (full story)

It takes huge balls or tiny brains to threaten Putin. I think it's the latter.
200 billion lol, they could build the border wall, solve homelessness and start the forgiveness program for student debt loans for that money, but nah, Pissrael needs it to bomb more kids.

Cool, so get Congress involved to help with the decision making. They seem to do pretty well in making something simple turn into the most complicated cluster f*ck imaginable. Now let's just take a look at the very last time the US military exited an area of war. Politicians had a hand in that decision with the "well organized" withdrawal from Afghanistan, leaving ALL the weapons (in tact and functioning) in the country for the enemy (Taliban) to use against any and all who oppose their pedophile regime.
calling any other country a " pedophile regime " whilst being an american is crazy. the only people scraed of your fat pedophilic president are young children

"drags on" ... OMG. If IRAN gets 10 Nukes Human existence sure as hell won't. The regime is pure evil and WAS far more powerful than Hitler with his plan to annihilate everyone not speaking German. The lust for Power and Control in the hands of dictators is never satiated. Be assured that a nuclear war won't "drag on". You cannot negotiate with a rattlesnake.
Moron. Decades of cold war between two nuclear superpowers with a lot more than 10 nukes each, and nobody threw hands. Why? Because they know, the same way Iran knows, that tossing nukes guarantees self-destruction from the nukes that come back in retaliation.

If you think Iran has plans for world domination then you're just a gullible sucker with zero knowledge of Iran. If you wanna be scared of a country with nukes, take a look at the only country on the planet right now that is working hard to exterminate their neighbors, and succeeding.

Where were the Iranian attacks on American targets before Donnie started this war for Israel? Where were the threats from Iran against any other country on the planet? How about conquest? Iranian army marching into other countries to take land by force? None of these things, anywhere. But Donnie says they were coming for you, and you just believe it. Fawking pathetic.

Certainly their entire infrastructure. Without the radars and interceptors they're sitting ducks now. They can't even sound the sirens before these supersonic missiles strike them.
However, nukes. They might "lash out" again. It would be a terrible tragedy for Iranian people and everyone else. i don't wanna see that

from my understanding the Russians are happy letting a very unpopular and incompetent zelensky act as head of state, taking him out would change nothing for Russia, a new puppet will arrive.

How is this for an exit plan? Couldn't help but post this in multiple spots. Earlier today Trump gave a 48 hour ultimatum.

Very true, Russia doesn't seem to want to rabidly take out leaders, and then expect regime change.

    From @realDonaldTrump|Mar 21, 2026|48 comments

    We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran: (1) Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them. (2) Destroying Iran’s Defense Industrial Base. (3) Eliminating their Navy and Air Force, including Anti Aircraft Weaponry. (4) Never allowing Iran to get even close to Nuclear Capability, and always being in a position where the U.S.A. can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation, should it take place. (5) Protecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not! If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
