While much of what Grinnell says is true, I think it was a bug mistake not obliterating the government and IRGC. I would have figured out how to help the Iranian people overthrow it. I will say at least one of those carrier groups has been out at sea far too long though. Maybe that is what has been the issue.

The quote was from a supposedly private dinner and is part of a book being released by 2 NYT reporters that is a hit piece on Trump. In their publicity they are promising lots of juicy details from private meetings. Presumably someone else was at the dinner and divulged what Bezos said to these reporters. I guess that is Washington but I never would do that.

It will take a short while for Trump's approval rating to dip into the 20's, but there will be a complete and utter collapse after images of him signing a MOU in Versailles that is comparable to the complete capitulation of Germany that ended WWI soaks into the American people. It will take a while for them to accept that everything he has said is total B.S.: we won the war on the first day; we destroyed their military, their leadership; we did not overlook them cutting off the Strait; we will liberate the people of Iran that we came to help; and finish the job as the entire ME demanded. If Iran does not give up in two weeks, 48 hours, tomorrow the US will obliterate them. More importantly, the American people will all, except the MAGA circle on this Board, realize that the emperor has no clothes, he is not a brilliant or very smart person, just the opposite, he is not capable of strategic planning, he is not a tough guy, but a big mouth bully coward, he is not the World's best negotiator, he is not a good deal maker and more importantly he will surrender to a third rate power, giving Iran everything it wants, to save his personal image or favorability ratings. It is clear that it is all about him, and the US's best interests are not his concern. He has led the most embarrassing international action and the only surrender/capitulation the U.S. has ever seen. How will that damage the American psyche and image of itself? It will be a cataclysmic mid-term and completion of his term for Trump, MAGA and the Republicans in/running for office.
You’re a dumbass
