When politicians do the exact opposite of what they promised in the election campaign, you know creative explanations are coming.

Yeah, I don't think you're reading that correctly.

From the #MAGA lens, Trump is "ending" it by killing #Iran 's leaders. It's the same worldview as Reagan ending the USSR thru escalation.

Of course, there is always the "day after" problem. In Venezuela, they had already arranged a deal with the VP. In Iran, we will see if Trump and Netanyahu have a faction lined up to rule.

@TCatInReality @randahl this is more the old Chile approach, source of many a fascist dictatorhip by virtue of the US government, but apparently being right wing means not to learn anything from history but insisting of going with your gut.
@konosocio @TCatInReality @randahl they are facists, but if they are our facists, we are fine*TM*
