https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/17/g7-summit-latest-news-ai-risks-trump-iran-us-war-peace-deal/Im old enough to remember when Trump criticized Obamas agreement with Iran for not being tough enough on Irans ballistic missile program.

Lebanon is still the target, and Gaza will become a resort.
Now, maybe Bibi will refuse shithole's bid in the resort discussion.

(5,373 posts)as a self-defense deterrent against out-of-control imperialistic governments
like the current leadership of the United States!
North Korea has atomic bombs, and was named by George W. Bush
as being part of "the axis of evil" back during his administration---
but we don't see anyone beating up on them, do we??
Even nations which we might consider to be "evil" are entitled to
a credible self-defense...
and Trump has just given a great demonstration of why they might need certain weapons
for the purpose of deterrent for self-defense reasons!
But yes, his statement is 180 degrees opposed to some of his previous statements---
which by now is merely "same completely different shit, different day"

(24,571 posts)That the The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) didn't address Iran's ballistic missile capability was one of the main reasons Trump tore the deal up.
He's been saying for almost a decade now that the deal he got would get rid of Iran's missiles.
