There's a big difference between endorsing terrorism on smaller scales and starting a nuclear exchange that would end your country. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP.

Not surprised this was the answer until now.

Quote:
Historically, Iran frequently employed measured, proportional, or calibrated responses to attacks.

For much of the "shadow war" era between Iran and its regional adversaries (particularly Israel and the U.S.), Tehran’s strategic doctrine focused on avoiding direct, all-out conflict. Their approach typically involved:

Proportionality: Attempting to respond at a level that signaled resolve and maintained deterrence without crossing thresholds that would trigger a broader, uncontrolled war

Strategic Patience: Often waiting days, weeks, or even years to retaliate, choosing the time and place that best served their interests rather than reacting impulsively.

Regime Survival: All military calculations were secondary to the primary goal of preserving the Islamic Republic’s hold on power.

Who grew up poorer? Putin of Trump?

Who became richer?

Putin grew up in absolutely poverty and became possibly the richest in the world.

Trump inherited millions and a large business, and still is behind Putin.

I mean, I hate Putin, even more than Trump (but the gap is exceedingly narrowing, for example on Iran Putin is more sound than Trump.) But, saying Trump is more self made than him is laughable.

Trump got his billions by building things. Small family business to a branded empire. Self made all the way. Along the way Trump had to deal with the mafia. Putin was the mafia in government form. He built nothing as far as wealth goes. I will give him he got Russia up off its back. Oh yeah Putin controls his media Trump deals with an openly hostile media and still gets things done.

You call me "left wing?"

Pshaw.

I am a moderate, I vote Libertarian when possible and view issues independently.

As for the media flaming the fat oaf because they are "left wing:" that is too broad of a statement.

I think most of America and the media dislike Trump because they understand he is a craven coward, a multipy-convicted felon who used fear and bullshit to get elected twice, making promises he treats like toilet paper, the same way he treats our allies.

But of course you've lovingly swilled down so much MAGA Kool-Aid your kidneys have floated high enough to block your vision of reality,.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a promising sign that the weeks-long conflict in the Middle East could soon be over, President Donald Trump postponed strikes against Iran until all of its leaders assembled in one place again for a meeting.

Trump posted the announcement to his Truth Social account on Monday morning, revealing that planned strikes on strategic targets would be halted until all of the remaining leaders of the Iranian government gathered again in one room.

"We're holding off until we get them all together again," Trump posted. "We did it before, and it was very successful. It was my idea. I said to the generals, ‘Let's just wait until they all hang out together.' They told me it would never happen, but it did. And we took them all out at once. Now, because I am so gracious and kind, I am ordering the Department of War to postpone all planned strikes until the Iranians get their leaders in one place again. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
