Still not quite clear on what was accomplished, though.
...if the peace lasts, the situation will be miles better than Iraq or afghanistan. Still far from ideal, but better.
Oh, no argument. But that didn't make this necessary. Whether or not peace lasts (whatever that means, considering the region and its history), I don't think Trump did anything to shape the outcome in the direction of peace.
I absolutely and fucking completely agree that if nothing more dramatic kicks off that's a total win compared to Sand Wars Infinity: Retard Boogaloo, but that's different than praising Trump for not starting said Sand Wars.
Trump did nothing here, aside from an unprovoked aggressive bombing, and then taking credit for peace.
Yeah, again, I agree that's better than the alternative of continuing and starting a forever war, but I'm not going to praise him for it. Because all he had to do was literally nothing, and the outcome was as good or better.
Israel may have started it, but Trump green-lit it.
This ending is a win, no doubt about it. This ended as well as I could have imagined when Trump started talking about how he was going to scoop up all the credit for 'winning' this, short of Iran being able to actually defend itself.

the accomplishment was ending the conflict, at least for now. this as opposed to creating another forever war like Iraq or Afghanistan.
You mean the conflict he needlessly started?

HE didn’t start it, Israel did. It’s important to keep in mind.
True.
But Trump started America's direct part in it.
Israel started this particular wave of violence, and fuck them for it.
But Trump decided to jump in.
When I'm president, I'm also going to start wars so that I can be praised for ending them.
Israel started it. the conflict was gunning to go much longer, and it didn't. it's a small win, but it is a win
