If we can take any consolation from this, it's how funny it is that they saddled JD Vance with the task of polishing this turd.

Vance, who so far has failed at everything...

What an unbelievable waste of money and lives.
It only looks like a waste to you, because you're not on the receiving end of all the Pentagon spending. Nor are you someone who jerks off to a pile of bloody children's backpacks.
I'm never going to stop thinking about that school they bombed
He honors 250 years of the USA by definitively losing the war he definitively started for no definitive reason.
I have a hard time sussing whether any of these mainstream papers publish these things to justifiably punish Trump for an unconstitutional and poorly managed war or if they're just trying to keep America engaged in serving Israel's expansionist dreams.
Well, show me a mainstream US press outlet whose editorial policy is opposed to the Gaza genocide, then we could compare. But I can't seem to find one.
Was it ever even a war to begin with? Why were we even there? No one knows. It was always trumps war because it was trumps personal interest that Americas military be there. It was never America's war to begin with-- its Israels.
Does anyone remember the telephone call transcription of when he talked with the Mexican president about the border wall in his first term?
This is the probably same.
He's just expensively self-soothing to deflect his own attention (such as it is) from his catastrophic failure.
What do u mean? This war has made him billions, he did win. At the taxpayers expense of course 🙄
