“The full reopening of the Strait is something the Administration is working towards, but the core objectives of the operation have been clearly defined for the American people by the Commander in Chief,” Leavitt said.

No the fuck they haven't. He doesn't even know himself other than whatever Israel said to do, otherwise they'll release the videos of him raping children.

This could literally be mentioned in the historical annals of idiotic military blunders in history.

Hey Republicans lurking on here, way to fucking go guys. You're so fucking stupid that you collapsed our reputation in the world and now we're a fucking laughing stock and because of your seemingly infinite level of abject idiocy, we now are legitimately in a national security crisis because of this wanton waste of our national defense assets.

Great fucking job, morons. Take a fucking bow.

Leavitt signaled that Trump may achieve those objectives by mid-April. “The Pentagon has always stated four to six weeks as an estimated timeline for Operation Epic Fury,” Leavitt said in the White House briefing room. "We're on day 30 today—you do the math."

My math says it's taking y’all a lot longer than you fooled yourselves into thinking.

"but the core objectives of the operation have been clearly defined for the American people by the Commander in Chief,” Leavitt said."

What objectives!?

The MAGA US needs to lose this one.

Somehow whatever he can't do, or doesn't benefit him, magically doesn't matter! It's like a superpower!

Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran War

Then may I ask what is exactly?

So let me get this straight: You went to war to make things worse?

Yeah, for MAGA, that tracks.

If you spend billions and end up with that path blocked, I don't think you can say you "won".

Of course you can finish the war capitulating or losing too.

I'm starting to think either Trump or his acolytes don't really think.

Is Trump going to say that Iran agreed to his terms without any proof? Is he going to bomb them again for not respecting the terms they agreed to in his mind?

Cool we’ve entered the, “I don’t want it anyway” phase of this bullshit. not sure where this places us in the timeline, but we all know the last step is hyping the massive victory of fixing the problem created by the administration.

America is good at not admitting they lost a war. Just ask any war since ww2.

The guy throwing military parades for himself capitulates and leaves Europe to clean up the mess. Much Wow

"Great progress has been made ​but, if for any reason a deal is ⁠not shortly reached, which it probably will be, ​and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately 'Open for ​Business,' we will conclude our lovely 'stay' in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil ​Wells and Kharg Island," Trump wrote in a ​social media post.

Hell of a reaction to something that is not vital.

If he doesn't open it within a couple of months at most, the bulk of oil is going to start being traded in yuan (it's already starting to happen) the gulf states are going to start liquidating their U.S. debt and the investments they've made across the global economy. The problem could spiral out of control really fast. The guy's a total idiot, but I assume they've explained it to him with little cartoons or something and he's finally understood that this time he can't just walk away and claim he won

TACO Trump Tuesday strikes again. Trump makes threats, those he's threatening laugh at him, mock him and ignore the deadline, Trump chickens out and tries to make up something else to hide the fact he's failed.

Operation taco teusday is a great success. We all agree. Congrats everyone. Wheres that George Bush "Mission Accomplished!" banner? Now that we've won lets get our fearsome ICE agents to cover our military's retreat. *cough I mean victorious tactical redeployment back to the homeland of freedom.

ICE already have a full set of tactical military gear anyway, and punisher patches and everything. They just need some rubber rafts and a push into the strait to finish the Iranians off. They did so well at the airports, its time to unleash their epic fury. No rules of engagement!

He really doesnt understand the global markets are interconnected and prices rising on inputs to American products due to logistics costs are the least of our worries.

Retaining Saigon not vital to ending the Vietnam war.

well that is a relief... now all the US service men being sent to the meat grinder will die to attempt to reopen a Strait that is not even vital to the war effort

Are we getting an another historic "👍Mission accomplished👍" before midterms?

Does US have a carrier big enough for Trumps ego and fat ass, or do they need to rename one and pain it "tacky fake gold".

Right, right... Now, about all that child rape...

🌮

I mean, technically, if you just stop attacking the country you started a war with, that might well end the war.

They've never provided projected timescales. All Kegsbreth has said is "it could take days or weeks or months".

He is going to 180 on this later today or tomorrow. He may have thought he'd get an easy win and leave like in Venezuela. Now that it's clear that won't happen, he thinks he can declare that he doesn't need a deal after all and leave.

This is not a real estate deal and he can't just leave. There are too many powerful people in the world who will find this outcome unacceptable. He is stuck and we are stuck there with him.
