Trump underestimated his enemy!

Did you read what I wrote? Even once?
I sure did. You said, "That is sarcasm," in response to the post with Trump's disgusting post from Truth Social. You also said you weren't saying he was a Christian, but trolling Iran with that post he made.

Trump has claimed many times he's a Christian. First as a Presbyterian, than as non-denominational. He claims he has a great relationship with God. Well see for yourself.
He's even said he doesn't ask God for forgiveness because he never does anything wrong.

So I blame CENTCOM for what you call error. They clearly have the information that they don’t share with POTUS.
Really? Do you honestly believe Generals would risk their careers by holding back vital intelligence from the POTUS? If that had happened, the CENTCOM commander would have been relieved and disgraced. That didn't happen.

I was in military intelligence and for the last seven years, I worked specifically in regards to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. As more and more comes out from the news, you're learning more about Iran's capabilities with missiles and drones. Our military has known that for years. It's also no secret that N. Korea has been supplying missiles to Iran for decades. Once Iran started launching missiles at targets in other Persian Gulf countries, Trump stated he had no idea the country had that many missiles. CENTCOM knew. He stated he had no idea Iran had that many drones. CENTCOM knew. EUCOM knew Russia was manufacturing the drones that were designed by Iran. They were not only manufacturing the drones for themselves to use against Ukraine, but for Iran as well. Military leaders wouldn't hold this information back from POTUS. So yes, Trump knew and he made the decision to pull the trigger underestimating Iran's capabilities while ignoring the intel he was being provided. I know how the system works. It's with my knowledge and experience that I can make that assessment.
It seems to make just as much sense that waiting a few more years would just mean that they would have even more missiles. And it would seem that what Rubio initially said, that Israel was going to attack with or without us that we would have risked even worse retaliation from Iran when Israel did so. I don't know if you are for real or just blowing smoke. It seems everyone on the internet is either retired Navy Seal, Airborne, or CIA. Personally I was in a rather tough Boy Scout troop. But seriously, if you are for real, I would genuinely like your opinion on this. If Israel had gone alone, would Iran have still tried to attack US bases and neighboring countries as they did? Also, in your opinion, was delivering skids of cash to Iran as some previous administrations have done, a good idea. Do you think they purchased medical supplies and fertilizer with that money? You were probably active during that time and probably not free to criticize but what is your take on it now. Thanks

I just said I am not saying that he is a Christian and now you are asking me to defend him.
Are you only here for the argument?
This is why people say you have TDS and/or assume you’re not a conservative.

It’s the picture that you painted.
The Generals knew and their Commander in Chief didn’t. That means they didn’t tell him.

So you probably don’t have the whole story.

What is the source for your statement that DT stated he had “no idea” Iran had that many missiles?

What is the source for your statement that DT stated he had “no idea” Iran had that many drones?

Edit to add: A quick google search found DT has stated, during his 2nd term, before the war, Iran has far more missiles than anyone had previously thought.

So, again, you are pushing deliberate falsehoods on this board, either out of ignorance or hatred, or both.

I don’t believe anything you say, quite frankly.

Peace to you

Why on earth did Trump in 2002 choose Paula White to be his spiritual advisor? She leads the newly created White House Faith Office, having previously advised the 2016 Trump campaign and the Faith and Opportunity Initiative.

Paula White, in 24 years as his advisor, was unable to convince Trump that you do not go to heaven by good deeds…and you should not use F bombs in presidential tweets?

Threatening to commit war crimes by bombing civilian power and water infrastructures does not seem to be Christian at all.

Ending that Easter Day tweet with “Praise be to Allah”, even if sarcasm, is disturbing.

As a citizen who voted for Trump twice, some things are starting to trouble me.

The war in the Middle East has affected so much area in all countries. I am in Asia, and due to the lack of oil, we suffered greatly for market prices and our living. No transportation as before, and even for a liter of oil or diesel, we have to wait about 3-6 hours, and that is not sure we will get. Not many cars on the road, and everything is so expensive.
