Demolition Donny can’t quite make up his mind whether his war of choice is over or not.
Donald Trump has suggested his war with Iran could soon come to an end just hours after completing a mysterious phone call with Vladimir Putin.
Trump told reporters US forces are ‘very far ahead of schedule’, claiming Iran’s military has effectively been destroyed.
‘I think the war is very complete, pretty much,’ Trump told CBS News. ‘They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force … Wrapping up is all in my mind.’ – dailymail.co.uk
Oooh! A mysterious phone call with Vlady. Imagine the conversation!
‘Very far ahead of schedule’…’pretty much”… that’s close enough, right? I mean, according to the Agent of Chaos, Iran’s military has effectively been destroyed. So why not just stop the war now?
‘If you look, they have nothing left. There’s nothing left in a military sense.’
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, has sent oil prices skyrocketing. A fifth of global oil flows through the narrow strait.
Americans are already feeling the pinch, with gasoline prices averaging $3.4 per gallon, up from $2.9 before the war, according to AAA.
Iran has strangled the strait by launching drone and missile attacks at America’s Arab allies.
Trump said he is ‘thinking about taking it over’ as oil tankers remain stuck in the Persian Gulf.
Trump told a Republican members conference in Doral this afternoon that he expected the conflict to be over soon – after last week warning it could run beyond its original four-week timescale.
‘We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short term excursion,’ Trump said. ‘How good is our military, right? Amazing. Short term. Short term.’
“A little excursion” equates to how many deaths now?
President Trump said on Monday that he believes his war with Iran could end soon, while Iranian officials are vowing that they’re ready for a long fight.
“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” Trump told CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang. “They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force.”
Later in the day, Trump said that the US hasn’t “won enough” yet and that he wanted to do more to achieve victory. “We’ve already won in many ways, but we haven’t won enough. We go forward, more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all,” he said. antiwar.com
Maybe this administration of ghouls wants to end this nightmare so that they don’t have any more episodes like this to answer for:
There’s more…
