THIS MAN SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR FRAUD. Notwithstanding that, his suggestion of conditions for the end of the round war, when Congress has completely abdicated its role in war, is laughable to say the least. It is also laughable to think that we will be able to affect regime change in Iran.

It would be good if the regime was changed before the 2028 election.

Guess he didn’t want to be dropped of in Cuba like trump threatened ??

The Iranians have already said Trump and Netanyahu will have to go in order to achieve peace. A sacrifice most of us are willing to make.

Thanks for the humor amidst the horror. It helps to laugh at the absurdity sometimes.

Right. The Iranian Regime or the Trump Regime.

Rick Scott means : The Iran war ends once we get rid of the GOP & Trump

But it's not Thursday yet. The war in Iran always ends on a Thursday; at least the last 46 times, anyway.

Regime change in the US will sort that out. And I mean regime.

The war on America can't end until Republicans are removed from power, and criminals/fraudsters including Rick Scott are sentenced to jail.
