The 2028 presidential race is on

[antisocial]

I was wrong and hate to admit it but I will. I thought Kamala was the one who would take us into wars and Trump was the non-war candidate. Look where we are after less than 1 year of him being president.

Trump has become very aggressive lately what is going on

It's good for tv ratings

You think Trump will pass some executive order to run a 3rd term in 2028?

[tacnet]

Trump wouldn't win a 3rd term even if he could run. A LOT of his supporters are realizing that this is NOT what they voted for. Even staunch supporters like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, MJT etc have all called him out

He'll be too old

Who you think will run that is not for more wars.

How will the Iran war help or hurt candidates in 2028?

[workman]

How will the Iran war help or hurt candidates in 2028?

The Senate did not side with a Democratic motion to limit the president's war powers so who knows.

[pokerking]

The mid terms in November are going to be the one to watch first

[tacnet]

Most incumbent governments loose seats during the mid terms but the way things are going, I think Trump is going to see a total wipe out. So far during his 2nd term, 12 seats have gone from red to blue. The number going the other way ??? ZERO

[monsta]

Maga must be wondering how he went from no foreign wars to so many in so short a time.

[Russ]

Trump and his Iran war will cost the GOP the mid terms.

[Matty2]

If Trump gets a victory in Iran the Republicans will keep the top office if he fails than all bets are off

[tacnet]

Trump will undoubtedly claim victory at some point. It's hard to see how Iran can actually win this war but then again, they don't have to. All they have to do is NOT LOOSE ! After all, this is a war of choice for Trump so he can walk away at any time but for the Iranian regime, its a battle for their very survival so they have no choice but to fight on.

America has a very powerful military they can use but Iran has a very powerful economic tool they can use, the straights of Hormuz. The more pressure they can put on oil prices, the harder it will be for Trump to claim victory.

And I don't think Trump's idea of escorting ships through the straights will be as straight forward as he thinks. He would need to setup a gun line all along the Iranian coast with full 24x7 air cover and even then, you could only really escort 4 or 5 ships at a time. It would only take one of those ships to get hit by a drone or even one of Iran's mini submarines and there would be an ecological disaster. That would result in the gulf states suing the USA for up to $350 billion (that's the figure JP Morgan estimated it might cost)

5,000 marines are on the way to guard the Straits, so ships might start going through with no threat.
