If this is true then Netanyahu is going to say we didn’t really end the threat (there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program but let’s put that aside). And then keep going with the war.
Netanyahus thinking is he has a boomer government in America who will support him as he settles all his scores. They didn’t cut him off after 20,000 dead kids. Why would they cut him off now? So absent that pressure he wants regime change, nuclear program is a side issue.
I should add I don’t see any way for that unless Netanyahu convinces Trump to do the regime change. Israel cannot send troops to Iran and there is no uprising or civil war around the corner. So there may be limits to what Netanyahu can persuade.

Trump promised to end two wars America was funding (Ukraine and Gaza) and they haven’t ended in some aspects they’ve gotten worse. I expect they will retcon this and say his promise was no boots on the ground. But that’s not what he said, he vowed to “stop the killing.”
The only place in the world his administration can claim any credit on this is India/Pakistan and really only some credit as their nuclear weapons did a lot of the lifting.
Technically if there’s a nuclear exchange in Ukraine or Gaza is turned into ethnically cleansed territory I imagine at this point Trump-Vance would claim victory and say they stopped the killing.

In 2003, opponents of the war in Iraq chanted no war for oil but it was pretty unclear why America acutely went to war there.

But why did America attack Iran, a middling regional power that is no threat to America? America did it at the behest of Israel.
For most boomers, Israel may forever be represented by the 1967 war and post-WW2 guilt. But for millennials and zoomers across the West, Israel is now synonymous with occupation, expansion, and dragging America into endless complicity with wars. Clocks ticking.
All the pointless killing in Iran is on Netanyahu and Trump, and all the pointless killing of Israelis and Americans in response will also be on their hands. As will promoting nuclear weapons proliferation across the world which starts now.

This tweet itself seems like an IQ test because we have a substantial population of Haitian Americans here in the U.S. and they have for the most part prospered. Never can accuse genetic racists of being smart though.
Median Asian income is above median white income (quite a bit actually). If we deported you and kept me, would America be way better off? I mean what kinda point do you think you're making lol.
Backfilling in your "brown people are gross" with selectively grabbed stats, come on, it's transparent.

Glenn is a very doting father to his children. If you’re going to accuse a man of being a bad father then do it with your chest out Matt. Address him directly. This is cowardly. You sure you’re from the South? No sense of honor.
Is Matt celibate or something of course not. What does that have to do with his children?
The only person harming Glenn’s kids is whoever hacked and posted that video.

VP Vance reportedly played a real role in the India-Pakistan diplomacy that led to the ceasefire.

This made me wonder, did Kamala Harris ever do anything similar?
I’ll take that one as a no
“Let me be clear, every four to eight years I acknowledge my Indian heritage so I take this very seriously. Cashmere is negotiable. We can go for leather. Satin even.”

The website set up to help white South Africans come to the United States boasts about how much government assistance they can get and how you don't have to prove anyone persecuted you at all. Image

This whole website is a hoot. Here's what it's like to be a janitor in America, if you're interested, Afrikaner. Image
They can come if they want, but I do find the whole thing amusing. Maybe we should grant refugee status to like Chinese-Malaysian businessmen or construction magnates from Dubai next.
