Trump lost because of Iran
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Trump admitted that his election defeat was due to the war he launched against Iran and the resulting global fuel crisis that affected the United States.

In fact, by following Netanyahu's lead, Trump made himself a lame duck and very likely destroyed the Republicans' chances of retaining control of the White House in 2028. However, some argue that Netanyahu had a convincing argument related to Epstein's island.

Vice President Vance also stated that the war with Iran is the reason for the Republicans' defeat in the election. According to him, a pollster whose opinion he values ​​explained to him that the four reasons why Republican voters are dissatisfied with the government are the following:

1. A desire to end the war.

2. A desire to focus on the problems of rising prices and inflation.

3. A desire to put America's interests first.

4. A desire to change relations with Israel.

The Democratic Party has already stated that it will seek an end to the war with Iran and increase support for the war in Ukraine. Overall, Iran's strategy of prolonging the war to weaken Trump and Netanyahu's positions within the US and Israel has largely worked.

P.S. Meanwhile, Iran is releasing images of potential targets in Europe, including Ukraine. Iran has indicated that it will begin striking American targets in Europe in the event of another attack.

3 Yea, instead of fucking around hoping to make a deal with people who have no intention of ever keeping any deal or promises, Trump should have just ended them all and be done with it last spring.

Once the Iranis is dealt with permanently, Trump would have been able to pay attetion and deal with the economy, specifically food prices and truly affordable housing. Fuel prices is part of it but by ending the Iran war for good, fuel prices would have gone down anyway.

Also on the economy. Dems won in part because they promised affordable or free housing for all, like they can deliver on this.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing ain't it!

Some will say the war, some will say inflation, gas prices, taxes and etc.

I kinda lean to all of the above, plus the (R's) consistent failure to follow thru, or deliver on promises to seniors, taxpayers, and a COLA 18% to 21% short of actual inflation.

Then there is the issue of clear and thinly veiled mid-term Vote paying promises. Eg.. like $6,000 and other Tax reform promises to US Taxpayers never delivered.

All of, or any of which, could have had a impact on neutral fence setting voters.
