So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

💯👇 You can’t bomb a country and claim you want its success. Zelensky is right not to trust indicted war criminal putin.

PREVENTATIVE WAR AS A DOCTRINE DOES NOT LEAD TO MILITARY OR NATIONAL STRATEGIC SUCCESS

Q: The Iran war seems to be a strategic dead end for you. Why are you unable to end it?

TRUMP: The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. I think it's a tremendous success, Iran.

the fact that nuremberg failed doesn't mean there's nothing worth studying. or even appreciating there. It's basically the first time we tried to hold a nation's leadership accountable for war crimes in such a way.

but let's not pretend it was a success.

3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think

the War on Dougs has been a major success and we don’t talk about it often enough

once again, the absolute worst thing that could have happened in venezuela is complete operational success

they thought they could do anything and immediately started another Forever War
Trump allies believe the President has now exhausted most options to exit the Iran war and are now “afraid” a longstanding, unpopular, expensive conflict is inevitable, causing major anxiety about GOP chances in midterm elections.-Politico

Trump is comparing his "success" in Iran to WW1 and WW2 and concluding that, naturally, his war was finished sooner.

War is still ongoing, btw.

Q: At what point does Congress step in and address the Iran war?

MIKE JOHNSON: It's not a war. They're trying to resolve an operation -- Operation Epic Fury, which was an epic success. I don't think we need liberal Marxist Democrats telling the commander in chief what to do w/the military right now

Ukraine is waging a global war against Russia with outstanding success and it is a painful thorn in Russia‘s side.

The President took the United States to war with Iran without the authorization of Congress.
 
He claims the military operations were a success but is now refusing to brief the Congress or explain his actions in a timely manner.
 
Why is there a delay?

Trump to Zelensky in February
"You're gambling with World War Three!"

Trump in June
“Anyway, I just bombed Iran’s nuclear sites spectacular strike, tremendous success.”

Old Man's War. It's sold basically the same number of books every year for two decades. Among more recent books, Starter Villain is the one that really popped; it's got a great cover and crossover appeal. Between those two Redshirts has had perennial success (the Hugo helps with its backlist sales).
Just curious, since you’re on the subject.

Which of your books is your biggest earner?

RADDATZ: Trump said "we've already won" this war. Do you believe we've already won?

WALTZ: In many ways we are seeing tremendous success in our military objectives on this war

Just saw a guy on here relitigating the Iraq war as a success so it’s another one of those times when we all need to start talking about what our favorite cereal is

Russia taking Ukraine: Eleven years of war, no success.
Russia taking the U.S.: One meeting, done deal.

It has been said that currently,there are only 2 things that can persuade Putin to start real negotiations&stop the war:
1.If success is not certain;
2.If the price of success is too high.

Currently:
1. Russia is convinced that 🇺🇦can be defeated,it will take a little more pressure for us to crumble⤵️

Success in war has never been all about being the most lethal. Hell, Germany was the most lethal in two world wars but couldn’t connect the dots to strategic success, aka the “Punch a hole and see what happens” method of making war

Sen. Joni Ernst on the deaths of Iowans fighting Trump's war against Iran: "Even with great loss, we are seeing great success"

Guys, the furry artists have arrived.

That's it. It's done. Bluesky has won the war. It's settled, that was the biggest factor of success and we have passed it

the War On Drugs was such a monumental success that we need another War On Drugs

1. Poorly conceived idea announced with great fanfair.
2. Instantly declared the greatest success in history.
3. Terrible incompetent execution.
4. Hide failure with more success rhetoric.
5. Bankruptcy.
In other words, the usual.

The pressure is on.

It will stay on until Putin ends this war.

Thank you to the Danish presidency for this first success.
