:"Two interesting contradictory pathways are emerging for [[Trump]] on [[Iran]], if we are to trust latest [[MSM]] reports. On one hand, new reports claim that Trump now sees the twin options of either total withdrawal from Iran or resumption of hostilities as equally bad. The reports claim he therefore prefers to now maintain the blockade indefinitely as the chief operative posture toward the Islamic Republic. But at the same time, [[Reuters]] reports the comical news that the [[Trump 2.0|Trump admin]]’s [[intelligence agencies]] are “examining” how Iran’s leadership will potentially react to Trump simply declaring a quick “victory” and pulling out of the conflict: [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-spy-agencies-examine-how-iran-would-react-trump-declaring-victory-2026-04-28/]

:Comment: It didn't have to be this way, but the [[obnoxious]] and [[sycophant]]ic [[trolling]] of [[User:Conservative]] has made it difficult for [[Conservapedia]], and what remains of its readership over the past few years, made it difficult for CP to have any meaningful input on the catastrophe that is befalling [[America]], the [[Trump administration]]. the [[conservative movement]], and the [[Republican party]]. So what do we do? Stick with [[MSM]] [[claptrap]], as [[User:Conservative]] desires, and abandon an independent voice? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 22:45, April 29, 2026 (EDT)
