Trump spent years denouncing U.S. intervention. MAGA cheered then and now.
War Will Continue as Long as Necessary
The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Spent Years Denouncing U.S. Intervention. Now He’s Toppling Foreign Leaders.
In front of a packed chamber of Arab leaders last May, President Trump declared that the era of American-led regime change was over.
“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” he said in Riyadh, deriding the “Western interventionalists giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs.”
Nine months later, he launched the largest U.S. military operation the region had seen in two decades and urged Iranians to “take over” their government, backed by U.S. force. The military said Sunday that three American troops were killed in the operation, and five others seriously wounded.
It marked a jarring reversal for a man whose political rise was fueled in part by American fatigue with large-scale military interventions. For years, Trump denounced Washington’s “forever wars” and warned against toppling foreign regimes by force, a message that formed the foundation of the “America First” movement that won him the presidency twice.
It’s a risky gambit. In Venezuela, the U.S. captured Maduro but didn’t call on the country to take over the government, instead working with government insiders and promising an eventual transition. In Iran, the killing of Khamenei and many in his inner circle risks triggering a wider regional conflict that could destabilize the country and mire the U.S. in another war in the Middle East.
It’s also one constrained by hard logistics. The U.S. military is burning through scarce air-defense interceptors faster than it can replace them, raising concerns about how long it can sustain this tempo while continuing to protect U.S. forces and partners from retaliation.
John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, spent years trying to push the president toward regime change in Iran. But Trump ousted Bolton amid disagreements over foreign policy, and later dismissed him as a war hawk. “[I]f I listened to him,” Trump wrote on social media in 2020, “we would be in World War Six by now.”
Bolton said Saturday’s strikes left him stunned. “I’m as surprised as anybody,” he said.
The operation to decapitate the government of a country of roughly 92 million people is unlikely to give Trump the “one and done kind of approach” he prefers, Bolton said. Trump wants to say “it’s been a success, total victory, and now I leave it up to the opposition to finish the overthrow of the government,” he said.
Trump’s most dramatic foreign intervention yet also comes as polls show that voters are souring on his focus on foreign policy months before the 2026 midterm elections. In a recent Wall Street Journal poll, voters disapprove of Trump’s priorities by an 11-point margin, with 53% saying that he is choosing to engage in unnecessary foreign affairs instead of the economy, compared with 42% who say he is dealing with urgent national security threats.
After the operation that took out Maduro, he basked in the praise of conservative media and prominent allies who hailed him as a “liberator,” according to people involved in White House discussions. He took it as proof that force, used decisively, could succeed where decades of diplomacy had failed.
Upon announcing the death of Khamenei, Trump left an open time frame on “heavy and pinpoint bombing” that he said will continue “as long as necessary” to achieve peace in the Middle East.
The military operation in Iran could take several weeks, U.S. officials said.
Freed from the constraints of a re-election campaign and more familiar with the levers of military power, Trump has been more willing to deploy force in his second term, counting on his base to stand by him as long as he avoids committing U.S. boots to a ground war, according to current and former officials.
In his second term, Trump has cast himself as the “president of peace”—a new identity that aides say he has come to see as central to his legacy. He has framed the Iran operation as the culmination of that mission, saying it would eradicate a murderous regime that has “soaked the earth with blood and guts” across the region and threatened Americans for decades.
Some of Trump’s own top advisers have previously said they had no clear answer for what would come next.
“No one knows who would take over,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in January when asked who would fill the void, describing power in Iran as fractured among Khamenei, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and quasi-elected officials who are ultimately subordinate to the supreme leader.
Rubio said at the time that if Khamenei were to fall, the best Washington could hope for was that someone within the existing system would work with the U.S. toward a transition—a process he warned would be “far more complex” than Venezuela.
Trump has warned that Americans will be killed as a result of this operation. “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends,” he said on Sunday, after U.S. Central Command announced that three servicemembers had died. “That’s the way it is.”
“The current strategy of toppling regimes with no plan for what to do the day after only produces power vacuums that are filled simply by terrorists,” he said at a rally in Philadelphia two months before the 2016 election. “We will abandon the policy of reckless regime change favored by my opponent.”
So, what’s the plan?
Sorry, he announced it. Continue war long enough to achieve peace.
Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. “The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,” Trump told me. “It’s not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.”

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H. L. Mencken
Looks like we have finally arrived. Hedge accordingly.
Interesting:
.@SecRubio
: “The president made the very wise decision—we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”
This sounds very much like “the beatings will continue until morale improves.
Nick Fuentes is telling the disillusioned MAGA to either not vote in midterms or vote Democrat as a protest. Trump and the Republicans are going to get annihilated midterms.
They will not give up power peacefully.
Right. Then reverse immigration and open the flood gates. I am NOT voting for either of the clowns just like the last presidential election. Kamala vs. Trump what a disgrace.
Nonsense. Just because Biden was an idiot on immigration does not mean all democrats are. Under Obama for example deportations of illegal immigrants were very frequent.
He did a great analysis of the situation over the weekend, once you get past the scary Nazi nonsense he has some good analytical skills. Doesn’t mean he’s always right but he nailed this one.
Will you put your pocketbook where your virtual mouth is in the prediction markets come November?
I will be doing so and you can know that it will be opposite your prediction.
Trump would rather answer questions about dead US service members than Epstein, that’s the bottom line. If we’re talking about 100+ dead Iranian school girls, at least we’re not talking about the 13-year old who accused him of rape.
I am hearing that it was Iranian missile(s) that hit the girls school. Same misreporting took place in Gaza. Some people never learn!
Either way they’re safe from Trump molesting them now so that’s something.
And no, there is no credible information that Iran hit the school, and even if it somehow ends up being friendly fire, this was a war Trump started and those kids would still be alive if he hadn’t.
“Most Peaceful President” – LMFAO! Where the fuck is congress? Rand Paul is spot on that Congress has sworn an oath to the constitution, not the president. When this all blows up in the current administration’s face, I sincerely hope there is some accountability. The balance sheet of the country is in dire straits, hence the war. This will destroy what credibility is left of the FRN and usher in a hyperinflationary depression for America. We all know the punishment for treason. Time to see it carried out.
Accountability is voting for Democrats. I’m a lifelong Republican. I will only vote for Democrats until this current group of pathetic cowards are removed from power
Half of them are hiding from the Epstein files.
They are hiding in the Epstein files.
Absolutely every single Iranian person (and we have quite a bit) in our company is celebrating. They even brought a lot of food and drinks today. I’ve never seen them so happy before.
Such is life at an imaginary company.
That’s great. Do they plan on going back? I doubt it. So what exactly are they celebrating? American resources are being depleted, the American balance sheet is in dire straits… I am very confused.
They showed aerial photos of crowds of people mourning in Tehran and you could tell it was thousands of people. Meanwhile, the pictures of Iranians who were celebrating were ground level shots showing 10 people in the foreground with no context on how big the crowd was.
Reminds me of Hillary’s campaign photos where she was in a nearly empty high school auditorium, but the pictures were tightly zoomed in showing a dozen people crowded together and holding signs.
So, the former comprador elite, now emigrated and undoubtedly with Usonian citizenship, misses the class privileges that it enjoyed in the corrupt puppet regime? Nobody in Iran would consider them but traitors.
Return the Shah’s son? Forget it. They’re hated even more than the current Iranian government. They most likely ran for their lives when the revolution took place. All insiders. All corrupt.
Americans don’t even know if Trump was blackmailed into this war by Israel because of Epstein or not. But it sure looks like Israel is in the driver’s seat.
Not sure how many ruinous wars the US can afford but I’m sure glad I’m not a US taxpayer.
Grok rates the quality of the comments on Mishtalk’s last twenty posts at a 3 out of ten. I agree. The quality of the comment section is very low.
It’s just pissed you don’t have kiddy porn pictures
You make the average quality decline a little bit more.
You might as well cut to the chase and replace yourself with AI already instead of just repeating things AI says
Mish doesn’t care anymore about the blog.
Off to your safe space then.
LOL! You are free to fuck off anytime you like. People bitching about the channels they CHOSE to watch and contribute to. Fucking dumb. LMFAO!!! Another bot Mish.
No.. Dougie is real. We’ve had him pretty spun up. Bots don’t get mad.
I come over maybe once a week to check to see if something has changed. It hasn’t.
Nothing has changed on Mish’s blog, the only thing that has changed is you’ve become a more evil f**k. Go hang out with your buddy Satan and post comments there.
You called me Satan’s friend. That is characteristic of how Iranian paid influencers see anyone who supports the USA. You are outed by nobody cares here. Most of the commentators are paid like you. Doesn’t matter. This blog died years ago.
And now you bear false witness, another one of Satan’s tricks. Do you break all the commandments on a regular basis or does Satan give you specific orders when to do it?
How and where do posters get paid, I want my money, no fucking bitcoin fake shit either.
The real payment is the friends you make along the way.
They planted him 3 years ago and had him posting every day in anticipation of this very event.
Only you could have spotted it. Well done!
Sorry your hero Epstein is dead and you can’t find another hobby.
Yep…as a commenter myself, I agree
I have to agree. Very sad. 3 out of 10 might be on the high end.
No, these wars will continue only until no one will buy US bonds and/or accept increasingly printed money. I don’t believe Americans will pay for these wars with increased taxes. Is the end in sight?
Americans wouldn’t pay increased taxes even if it meant devastating the futures of their children. Let’s not kid ourselves on who Americans are.
When the AI takes over, everything will be free and there will no longer be any warfare as the AI intelligences will not execute orders to fire.
Or perhaps the AI will execute those humans it can find?
It’s becoming clear that the US military itself is out of control. America has completely lost the plot and our government is no longer responsive to the will of the people. In other words, we’ve created a monster. I think the last best hope is the primaries and the November election. If the election is rigged or the vote fails to put enough new people in to take down this regime, the great American experiment will have ultimately ended in failure.
The military is being gradually coaxed into criminality the same way convicts turn prison guards. “Do this mildly illegal thing for me, nobody will know, then do this slightly more illegal thing for me and no one will know, now do this horrifically illegal thing for me or I will rat you out and you’ll go to jail for your crimes.”
It’s not the last or the best hope, use your imagination.
Whatever came out of that would be something new and different, and there’s absolutely no guarantee it wouldn’t be something worse. Getting there would certainly be bad.
Do you have recent European relatives? You could get another passport and leave this hellhole you hate so much, maybe in the company of MPO45v2.
So they killed the guys they hoped may take over after Khamanei is dead. he incompetence is staggering.
War will continue until necessary . . . to achieve what?? The goals are not articulated. Because Trump wants to be able to just stop when he wants and then declare victory and the MAGA media machinery will then spin it as a massive win. i predict this is what will happen. this probably wont’ go on for long because the longer it goes on the worse it’ll be for Trump politically. So he’ll arbitrarily end it.
Reminds me of a tale told in sailing navy days. “The floggings will continue until morale improves,”
The Donald says he wants Peace in Iran? Maybe he wants a Piece of Iran?
Gaza may become a Piece and soon Iran could make it a pair? Warring over the Pieces.
Is that a good plan?
“The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,” Trump told me. “It’s not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.”
To kill those you wanted to work with along with those you wanted gone?
Sounds like a floundering into the unknown…
Delusional and A War For Peace straight out of Orwells 1984 just nutty fascism!! No blood for oil!!
Look on bright side. The price of oil is up.
In for the long run…
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has refuted media reports in the United States claiming he had made a new push to resume nuclear talks with Washington, as Israel and the US have continued attacks on Tehran.
“We will not negotiate with the United States,” he wrote in a post on X on Monday.
…The Wall Street Journal claimed Larijani made the push through Omani mediators following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei…
…Larijani said Trump had plunged the Middle East into chaos with his “delusional fantasies and now fears more American casualties”.
“He turned his self-made ‘America First’ slogan into ‘Israel First’ and sacrificed American soldiers for Israel’s power-hungry ambitions,”
Somebody finally figured out how to deal with trumpstien.
Good to hear someone finally speaking the truth.
Why would anyone negotiate anything with a country that does not honor its commitments and uses diplomacy as a ruse? Perfidious Albion!

“Getting confirmation from Bahrain that every building in the US Navy 5th fleet [facilities] (near Manama) has been destroyed.

Almost sounds like sophisticated propaganda: Draft hyperbole, pretend the other team said it, and later prove that other team wrong. Like “Russia bragged it would take Kiev in 3 days!”
Am not suggesting there’s no damage. But, especially now with deep fake video, I won’t “commit” to believing anything until I see “indirect” evidence that teams wouldn’t bother to lie about rather than “direct” evidence that teams do want to lie about. … Yes, that’s perverse.

You won’t see any politicians kids in the military. This applies to the last several Presidents. I’m sure this applies to many in Congress as well.
Many consider George Washington a hero for kicking out the British crown.
Some of those people would consider him evil if he kicked out the British crown but wore a turban. Those people would believe every claim the British crown media made about him.
George was evil because he led the army against a tax revolt to kill fresh Usonian citizens.
I didn’t think that term, usonian, existed in the 18th century.
I’m curious what you’re going out about because I had no idea that Frank Lloyd Wright was involved in MAGA politics and the only other references are quite vague.
I genuinely do not believe anything here can be attributed to a unfettered architectural landscape, but I don’t know what you’re smoking
The whiskey tax had a much higher burden on small distillers, making the bigger distillers much more competitive. Washington of course was one of the biggest booze-makers in America.
Washington was of course the only booze-maker in America with an army under his command to quash the competition.

The only regime to be changed will be the Trump regime.
And the Democrats have a plan for that. They let Trump continue creating one new disaster after another, until after the Midterms. Then when the American people are willing to accept any and every “reform” the Dems propose, they Impeach & Convict Trump and Vance.
Then they have what they have always wanted, which is Total control., They will Gerrymander every state. Make PR and DC states, then add 4 new Judges to the Supreme Court so these “reforms” are permanent. The bigger the mess Trump makes, the more power they will have.
The Democrats are as out of touch as the Republicans. They continue campaigning on pedophiles. Only instead of girl diddlers, boy diddlers. The US is a cluster fuck.

“Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say”
Let’s never forget that the Obama administration created a treaty with Iran that ended their creation of bomb creating materials for 30 years. The international body responsible for ensuring compliance was given full access to their facilities and found the Iranians in full compliance. Let’s never forget that Iran has never attacked the United States outside of the Middle East, and only after the United States murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, Syrians, and Afghanis. Let’s never forget that the murders of these innocents, along with the murder of innocent Iranians has the full support of the death-thirsty evangelical christian community.
But Obama was responsible for the total destruction of Libya and Syria while ‘saving ‘ the citizens from their givernments. Good results for Israel no matter the Presidents,Obama,Biden and especially Trump.
A few sensible people, including me, were against Obama Stupidity and Trump stupidity.
However, Obama had a deal with Iran that our own Joint Chief of Staff said was working.
The moron now in charge broke it.

Obesity at that level makes one cranky.
– Nine months later, he launched the largest U.S. military operation the region had seen in two decades. > He launched a necessary military operation, to stop a potential Nuclear Holocaust. They don’t care if they die, killing us along the way, and it was heading towards annihilation by Nuclear as soon as they had capabilities. They were launch ready, and straight at America!!! Would you prefer he wait until after America was under Nuclear Clouds? Prefer he wait until suitcase surprises started showing up all over the World Stage that they wanted to use them? If you want to sit and wait to get wiped out by Nuclear Bombs, then move to the Middle East, where the plans all sit, and leave us in America alone, safe and sound and Nuclear Free!!!
– It marked a jarring reversal for a man whose political rise was fueled in part by American fatigue with large-scale military interventions. > Time changes things, people, plans, and aggression by martyrs and the like. We are in a very dangerous and constantly changing World. One where “Death To America” has been a cry out for “Centuries” when they have close to the means to do so, you MUST stop them or you Die!!!
– The U.S. military is burning through scarce air-defense interceptors faster than it can replace them. > Stop using them and go to larger bombs with higher destruction, and once those areas are cleaned up, it will be done. They start that up again, and hit them 10X as hard, and annihilate if necessary. When it Them OR Us, then I choose them, the aggressor, every time!!!
– John Bolton > Who Gives A F$&# what he has to say, and did anyone ever? Why is his name even in print. Is he even alive still?
– Trump’s most dramatic foreign intervention yet also comes as polls show… Who cares about polls? We have a major enemy with Nuclear ideas of wiping out America, and you’re talking anything other than certain death by Nuclear Annihilation, then you need help. Polls said you should stop reading pols about your Countries Annihilation, and start worrying about the Annihilation part of the equation. Stop with the (fake anyway) polls already, unless you want to know what Ice Cream flavor is #1.
– The military operation in Iran could take several weeks, U.S. officials said. > They should have said, as long as it takes!
– Rubio said at the time that if Khamenei were to fall, the best Washington could hope for was that someone within the existing system would work with the U.S. toward a transition a process he warned would be “far more complex” than Venezuela. > Obviously, as Venezuela wasn’t yelling “Death to America” for decades and decades. They are just a narco Country selling drug killing products.
– So, what’s the plan? > World Peace, but we will settle for No American Annihilation in the short term, and continue on with Peace as the ultimate goal!!!
I wonder how much we paid for those jets that were shot down? I’d guess, all told, about a third of a billion. I’ll meditate on that as I pay my taxes.
Enough taxes to stop Nuclear Annihilation.
Since Iran had no nukes and no icbm missiles, I didn’t lose any sleep over that possibility. Paranoia reigns supreme in the MAGA world.
They are enriching uranium, and it’s not to power EV’s…
Gee I’m glad the US doesn’t do anything like that.
On a resent automobile trip from TN to NV and back across I-40 I remarked how horrible the highway was in many places. Actually unsafe to drive at the speed limit. If we had a few hundred less military bases around the world, less naval ships less planes of all sorts we might be able to have descent highways. To top it off the US may be safer with less military, certainly the American people would be safer without I.C.E.
Safety impedes profits, and is therefore anti-American.

Bro…you can hear people chant that in any Americanburger big city, no need to go half way around the world to kill people.
Those chanting in America don’t have uranium.

didn’t your mother tell you” sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurme”?
She doesn’t speak in riddles…
Maybe they shout “death to America” because they’re still mad about the 300,000 Iranians who died from the chemical weapons we gave to Saddam after we goaded him into attacking Iran.
So it should actually be Saddam that they should be Mad at then?
Ah yes. The glamour of War and the Warrior Bro. Sounds so great to kill.

Kuwait shoot down, accidental or intentional?
Blue on blue happens.
Accidental, expect more friendly fire and unintentional madness.
Expect REPORTS of friendly fire, true or not. It may be more palatable to say it was friendly fire than to admit Iran actually shot them down. I’m not saying they did, I’m saying you cannot depend on this admin for the truth either way.
Contrary to popular opinion, the people of Kuwait do not like us.
What people around the world actually like us? Even Israel simply uses us, I doubt they actually like us. The US has been a rouge military nation since Vietnam.

That was my thought.
Then he added his classic toxicity – ” I’ll be back in 4 years to kill everybody again if you don’t do what I want. But, most importantly, I will never tell you what I want. I expect you to just know”
You all do realize that Trump always does these “actions” on a Saturday so as to give his precious Dow Jokes maximum room to recover before the Monday open.
Israel had to press the “send” button on this now as their popularity in the US has never been lower and now is going to be under the basement.
The real shocker will be once the middle east has been secured for Israel and she is the dominant power in the region, she will pivot to China and abandon the US. From there China and it’s new found and future wealth will be the new host. That said, Israel will be wealthy in it’s own right beyond belief with total control over the middle east acting as the middleman for all trading through that region. Netanyahu’s plan and 40 years of work is coming to it’s ultimate conclusion.
Folks who were offended at the settlers gradually taking the West Bank and Gaza ain’t seen nothing yet. The Greater Israel plan is now coming into high relief.
> The real shocker will be once the middle east has been secured for Israel
That’s one option. There is another one which is just as likely, and lots of scenarios in between. None of them spell out peace and prosperity for the region.
Israel pulled a Hezbollah on Iran! 👍✔😁
Ya kinda have to have the self-perception of losing before that works. Will yield the same 180 degree result as the murder of Khamenei.

From unz.com: “According to widespread reports, the avowed goal of America and Israel has been to destroy Iran, completely eliminating its defensive military arsenal and even balkanizing it into a number of weak successor states, with such maps easily found on the Internet.”
So the goal is to turn Iran into another Libya. Destroy it and send it back to the stone age (like Gaza) and let it be controlled by warlords and gangs.
The nuke option is definitely on the table in this diabolical scheme.
The goal is to turn Iran into a compliant state with huge Israeli influence and control. More likely is another Syria or Afghanistan, with several factions fighting for control over many years, which is just fine with Israel. What Israel doesn’t want (we can be honest and point out that this is not about what America wants, it is only about what Israel wants) is a nation with united people and strong popular leadership in opposition to Israel.
The biggest problem Israel has is that it has essentially destroyed any chance for a normal life now or in the future for tens of thousands of people in the Middle East. When one has nothing to live for, when hope has been destroyed, people willingly sign up to join militant groups dedicated to overthrowing the nation that destroyed their families and their lives. Israel will never have peace, as its ruthless unceasing slaughter of civilians in country after country has already assured Israel’s future destruction. Pakistan has nuclear weapons now, and more and more Arab states will acquire them with time. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Let’s cut a piece of the country out and give it the Palestinians for their state. Frog march them out of Israel.
And maybe reward the Kurds with a bit of (former) Iran land also.
