Members stevenkesslar Posted 2 hours ago Members Posted 2 hours ago How war with Iran helps young men who voted for Trump: Quote Overall Gas Price Trend: Analysts predict a 25 to 50-cent-per-gallon increase between now and April or May, bringing the national average into the mid-$3 range. How tariffs help young men who voted for Trump: Quote The cost of both new and used trucks is increasing, driven by 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and parts, rising raw material costs (steel/aluminum), and high consumer demand for, and production of, larger, more expensive models. Average new car/truck prices have reached nearly $50,000, with further increases expected into 2026 In January 2026, Trump told young Iranians who want democracy, "Help is on the way." In January 2026, the Iranian regime slaughtered anywhere from 3,000 to 30,000 Iranian protesters. In February 2026, Trump is telling Iranians to go protest again to change the regime, which he campaigned against in 2024. How is this likely to end? Should young Iranians or Americans trust Trump to not change his mind an hour from now? After all, his temperament is calm and he is always a man of his word. 🤪 End of Euphoria Michael T. Flynn LTG USA (RET) Quote 1. Regime hunkers down and offers a deal (”recalibration” or “IRGCistan”). Surviving clerics/IRGC hardliners close ranks around a new figurehead (e.g., Ali Larijani or a council). They trade verifiable nuclear/missile/proxy concessions for sanctions relief and breathing room. This is the most likely near-term outcome if internal cohesion holds: a battered but intact theocracy, more pragmatic out of necessity, but still repressive. Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is hardly a leftist. And his analysis is pretty consistent with what other more moderate talking heads like Ian Bremmer are saying. No one can predict where this leads. Which is actually a big problem. But there is no reason to think Iran's regime will just fold. I personally agree with Flynn and Bremmer and others that the scenario above is both the most likely and the most desirable outcome. Inherent in it is some kind of Venezuela-like deal. Meaning after the bombing stops Trump's "America First" US and Bibi The Genocide Jew's Israel will at least tolerate the Iranian regime (with a new head, but still the same snake) in return for certain concessions. This outcome of course is not consistent with Trump's dangerous and basically dishonest call for more young Iranians to go get slaughtered so the regime will magically go away. Even though America and Israel won't put boots on the ground. The fact that Trump is publicly calling for regime change strongly suggests there is no secret deal in place with the Iranian regime, like there obviously was in Venezuela. Mostly what the President of Iran is saying is we hate Americans and Israelis, and plan to kill more of you. Peace is at hand! Good luck with those gas prices, and truck prices, and protests, youngsters! And let's look on the bright side. The Trump family will get some awesome business deals with autocratic governments out of this! Quote As of early 2026, Donald Trump and Jared Kushner have extensive business interests in the Middle East, with substantial financial ties to Gulf state sovereign wealth funds and regional developers. Key projects include Kushner’s Affinity Partners, backed by $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, and The Trump Organization's real estate licensing deals in Oman, Jeddah, and Dubai. Quote

Trump accomplished one major thing with THIS war..... diverting media attention from Epstein files and his own Pedophilia. Makes you really wonder how much worse than we think Trumps involvement with Epstein was ? He's throwing the entire World into crisis over it ! Quote
