Our intelligence agencies identified no imminent threat from Iran. There was no sign that the nation was close to developing a nuclear weapon. The White House still has on its website a statement regarding Trump’s 2025 bombing of Iran, carrying the headline: “Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News.”

    The amount of geriatric veterans of Vietnam I’ve seen hold unwaivering support for this orange asshole the last decade was already baffling enough.

    Now he starts Vietnam War x3000000, and these old bastards Ade seal clapping.

    Every one of them will tell you Vietnam was a senseless war and waste of human life. Yet they’re too fucking arrogant, abusive, narcissistic and demented to see they’ve become the exact idiot masses that sucked the asshole of those who sent them to Vietnam.

    Trump has been calling service members “suckers and losers” for decades. Anyone who is just finding this out NOW needs to find better sources of information.

    He doesn’t seem to have much of a plan. He must be dying very fucking fast or something because it looks like he’s just trying to cement a legacy as quickly as possible before he pops his clogs.

    The plan appears to be:

    1. Bomb Iran
    2. Kill the Iranian leadership
    3. Wait for new leadership to come along
    4. Bomb them too

    Rinse repeat until the country collapses. No attempt at stabilisation, no positioning of the opposition so they can take over, just bomb bomb bomb and we’ll think about what to do afterwards when Trump is dead and doesn’t have to think about it anymore.

      The objective is to prevent the pro-democracy protest movement from gaining power, since they won’t be loyal stooges to oil companies or subservient to the Israelis. Instead, Netanyahu, Trump and their mob will try to install the son of the old puppet shah. He’s popular among Iranian expats in the US, but a lot of those were (or are descended from) former lackeys of the old shah.

    Many of us are old enough to remember when he lied about Covid and a million Americans died when it could have been thousands.

      It would probably be possible to charge Trump with mass murder based on that alone, if laws regarding purposely spreading illness were applied properly to his actions.

    Wild to see the bodies stacking up all over Iran, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, while the fucking USA Today keeps crying about future potential American dead.

    100 girls murdered at an elementary school by US and Israeli munitions and American journalists seem to have straight up not noticed.

    He will happily send everyone in the military off to there deaths and he will still go golf and blame everything on Biden and Hillary.
