JD Vance could provide neither a timeline for the Iran war to end nor a date when gas prices might sink below pre-war levels during a White House appearance Thursday, suggesting instead it was up to Iran to conclude the conflict that began with joint US-Israeli airstrikes six months ago.
The current hostilities shouldn’t even be called a “war,” Vance argued, since “active combat operations” ended months ago.
“Right now, there is no active shooting,” Vance insisted, despite three consecutive days this week when the US and Iran exchanged fire, including around the Strait of Hormuz.
All you Negative Nellies are so eager to dunk on the VP that you can’t even hear his point. Sure, there’s a “conflict,” sure, our militaries are “shooting and bombing and trying to kill each other,” but you’ve missed the important thing, which is all the peace that’s happening. See, there was a moment of peace just then. And here’s another moment when no one is shooting now. And here – uh wait, wait just a moment – here’s another moment of peace now.
