## Resource

Trump calls Middle East military actions “small potatoes,” backing VP Vance’s claim it’s not a war—despite Iran’s retaliatory strike on Kuwait. He contrasts current U.S. casualties (18 service members) with past conflicts like Vietnam, where tens of thousands died, and highlights recent operations in Venezuela with zero American losses. Trump insists the campaign has successfully blocked Iran’s nuclear ambitions, framing it as a contained, strategically successful operation that keeps the world safer.
