Day for a year. See, he does read his Bible

I don't understand. Could you please say it again?

2026 NFL Champions Seattle Seahawks lost 3 games in the regular season. The Bible does not say the Kings of the North and South must win every war they engage in. They are kings, or world powers because they are the most dominant nations (or allied nations) on Earth at this time. The US not achieving its military objectives (whatever those are) in Iraq won't suddenly topple the US/UK from its position of dominance. It's not like Iraq is suddenly going to be a superpower. Plus, as absolutely horrible as this current situ is, it's not the type of war that results in the loser fading in obscurity. The US was never planning on taking over Iraq and ruling it. Likewise, Iraq is never going to defeat the United States. It might resist, but won't defeat. You yourself said it. A king does not need to win every fight. Tell me this, what, exactly, would a US victory look like?

Trump’s address: President Donald Trump used familiar talking points in his first address to the nation on the Iran war, telling Americans the war is “nearing completion” and projected another two or three weeks of involvement. However, Trump signaled that the US is prepared to intensity its military response in the remaining time period and threatened to bring Iran “back to the stone ages.” https://www.cnn.com/webview/2026/04/01/world/live-news/iran-war-us-trump-oil?cid=android_app

On that note https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/31/politics/strait-of-hormuz-open-trump?cid=android_app President Donald Trump and his administration increasingly believe that they can’t promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as a prerequisite to declaring “mission accomplished” in the war with Iran, sources familiar with the discussions tell CNN.

Depends on how it was spun. What the PR machine says. Trump will claim victory regardless. I don't recall what the stated goal of this war was. If it was to remove Iran's ability to make nuclear weapons, then it was a success, no? The United States never claimed the goal was to invade and take over the country, did it? Why not? Do you think these kings must win every war they fight? Where does the Bible say this? Russia is King of the North. He's also a king. Yet looks like he's loosing the war in Ukraine. Or, at least, that war isn't going as they hoped. Some would say the United States lost the Vietnam War. The US was part of the King of the South during that time. Did the US lose being part of the King of the South after that war?

Trump to address nation after saying U.S. may leave war within weeks President Trump is set to address the nation on the Iran war at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday night, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying he would be providing "an important update," without providing further details. https://www.npr.org/2026/04/01/nx-s1-5769805/iran-war-trump

2011 *** dx86-26 Beliefs Clarified *** feet of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream image (Da 2): kr 177; w12 6/15 15-16, 19 https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1200277174&srctype=wol&srcid=share&par=1 69

Partially represents. Yes, it's very clear. Fascinating how almost immediately after the most recent clarification of what the feet of iron and clay symbolized that it seems we had daily evidence to support the understanding. Just remember it's a dual world power. US events might steal the limelight but the feet symbolize life in the UK just as much. They can get pretty saucy over there, too.

Assigned.... I like that idea. Instead of simply a choice, this continues doing something for Jehovah. Making yourself available for opportunities or assignments.

There is an African proverb that says "when elephants fight, the grass gets trampled."

Except when the pope agrees with the war.
