That article is from March and behind a pay wall
Why don't you calm down and let this play out? Your constant need to play the knee-jerk contrarian is getting very old.
If you spent half as much time selling aftermarket warranties as you do shitposting, you could afford gasoline and eggs, which were, as of yesterday, $1.59/dz.

Yup as i said in the other thread.

Sure open at Irans option as long as you meet their conditions and if that involves a toll on certain countries, you pay it.
Even Trump is not denying it and is only saying maybe the US will get it in on it and split the payments via a "Joint Venture" because like any good mob boss he sees it is a great deal and money maker for Iran and his first instinct is not to try and end it but rather to get a cut.
Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tolls

Mine above is not. Trump made that statement yesterday recognizing Iran is control of a toll on the Strait and is considering negotiating in a potential cut in the action, since it seems he knows the US has no hand or power to prevent Iran from tolling it, plus like a good mob boss, why end a good racket when instead you can demand a cut?

Jerod wants America to lose. He hates Trump so much that he would see us as a nation defeated and humiliated in order to stab Trump in the eye. He's cheerleading for Iran to win and win big.

Did you consider the US withdrawing from Afghanistan a loss for the US? Do you think the only reply is to support that war and its continuation is the only way for America to "not lose" and not "hate the POTUS" and anything else is "cheering for Afghanistan to win"?
Or do you recognize when it comes to the CHOICE and EXECUTION of any war, a Potus and his administration can be criticized RIGHTLY for that choice and a piss poor execution?
I am legit curious in your reply as you have not yet shown if you, like many other magats here were just a NeoCon in hiding? So you can simply answer my questions above replacing Afghanistan with "XYZ" as the question is a neutral non partisan one of whether or not you believe all US citizens must support AND AND ALL war choices and executions regardless.

Yes, because it clearly was. A rout, like that withdrawal turned into, was forced on the US military by Biden. He didn't have to order it. But then again, Biden had a near 50 year track record of wrong and bad decisions on foreign policy he was working from.
In this case, the only poor decision Trump has made so far is not carrying out strikes to their full conclusion. Truces and ceasefires just give the weak side--Iran in this case--time to recover for another round of fighting. Once you commit to war, don't commit halfway thinking it will work. That never does. Commit fully and destroy your enemy completely.
We'll see where this goes. It may well go back to the status quo from before the strikes. Iran backs off to avoid another round of bombing. Trump backs off because he thinks he won and got something from Iran which in reality is nothing. If so, Trump wasted our time and money on this endeavor.

Ok so you need to stop the stupid ad hominem statements then.
You believe that a war can be CONSIDERED stupid, wrong, etc and the best way to support the troops and country is to oppose it and not wanted it started and want it ended if begun. That is a reasonable belief.
You also lay out here, that individuals who consider it will use their personal evaluation and judgement to determine that as you do with Afghanistan, an i agree with you. Neither of us can be considered a 'keeper of the Truth or Fact', as THIS IS JUDGEMENT and you and i judge Afghanistan was stupid, we should have come home, and it is not a lack of support to say it.
Based on YOUR reasoning above you CANNOT say another person has to think the Iran war was a good one or we should stay engaged or it means 'hate America', 'hate troops', etc, as that person could legit think, like you did with Afghanistan, it is a bad war.
And here is the part i think you might struggle with and lead you to a erroneous error.
IT DOES NOT MATTER if someone disagrees with your assessment on Afghanistan or my assessment on Iran. It is NOT ABOUT which assessment or opinion is more correct, if that can be proved. When it comes to 'supporting the troops or america' what MATTERS is the person belief at the time and NOT whether you can argue why you think them right or wrong. THEIR SUPPORT IS FOUNDED IN THEIR BELIEFS.
