Cnn calling it a conflict in the headline, instead of the war that it actually is, is just proving Vance's false point

I'm beyond caring what Trump says now, but I never cared what Vance said.

It's a forever war special military operation.

A special military operation maybe.

We can't do shit about it though. Fucking traitors in Congress.

Ah. Say you're a war mongering dictatorship without saying you're the same as Putin and co.

All you Negative Nellies are so eager to dunk on the VP that you can't even hear his point.

See, there was a moment of peace just then. And here's another moment when no one is shooting now. And here -- uh wait, wait just a moment -- here's another moment of peace now.

Republicans would have to pay widows and orphans benefits if it was a war…

Soldiers are just expendable. No cost once they are gone.

So iran has all the power

Its a Moneypit.

Definitely not a war. Just some tit-for-tat shenanigans. A little fun blowing things up. Can't stop the boys getting up to some hijinks now and then.

Well, so long as the Secretary of War isn't involved, then it's probably not a war ...

He's not even a very convincing puppet.

When what will end?

Edgar Bergen and Mortimer Snerd (Peter Thiel and Shady Vance). Apologies to Edgar Bergen...and Mortimer Snerd.

The rest of the world wonders when this non war will end so that the painful economic consequences will stop.

Trump Today (and probably other days): "I think the war's going to end immediately after the election because they can't hold out any longer," Trump said of Tehran on Wednesday.
