So that relatively small group of soldiers sitting in boats far from shore without adequate food or supplies are going to crush the much larger and entrenched entire Iranian military now huh. Sounds real scary.
One silver lining to all this is that evidently Trump has learned that its harder to attack a mid sized country halfway around the world --without allies-- than it is to attack some unarmed civilians trying to get to work in portland or minneapolis.
Progress of a sort.
Again?
Lets gooo blood clot
AI Jesus with his psalm of genocide. Praise Epstein!
* of shit.
This shit again? The old bastard is senile.
oh yeah... that'll work.
Just like when he told everyone the Straight was open and for some reason Iran didn't believe him
Is this a new threat to blow up the country, after his last threat to do so where he claimed to have gotten a ceasefire (which Israel breached on Lebanon less than 24 hours later)?
One trick pony
Absolutely crazy to me no one has shot this guy yet.
A lot of people rooting for the fall of the west.
You do realize that it's a hard thing to do?
It is, but at the same time it happens very often. Was it half or 1/3 of all US presdents died by being shot? And most of those were not actively trying to destroy their own country and any international relations it had.
Just need some teamwork
I'm amazed one of his staff hasn't done it

If ONLY there was SOMETHING we Could do to STOP this!
-Congresspeople doing NOTHING to Stop this!
Idk, I think I'm going to scream at voters for this. Primarily leftist voters, though. I still think I can win over the conservative voters and Congress critters by being nice to them.
Really it's the left's fault for wanting basic human rights and an end to genocide. The Democratic party simply can't accommodate such extremist views /s
USA by criminals for criminals. Absolutely disgusting country, just as bad as Putin's Russia.
To the American population: The fact that you elected this corrupt criminal pedophile malignant narcissist of a moron twice will never be forgotten - never!
will never be forgotten
Sadly, you're wrong. It will be forgotten. That's why history keeps repeating itself.
If people didn't forget, they wouldn't have voted for fascists. After the war, people swore they would never forget the horrors of fascism either. And yet... Trump is soiling the White House today.
Has Hitler been forgotten?
This time it's even worse, because Americans have been taught about Hitler and Nazism and the horrors that follow with authoritarian governments.
Americans have no excuse, they should have learned enough from history to not repeat the mistakes of Nazism.
To be fair, it was different people.
Certainly wasn't America saying that
Hell yeah! This is why Germany is still shunned by the global population after all these years.
And why Germany has no right wing influence now
Yeah but was just Hitler. We're talking about Trump here.
/s just in case
Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.
ok
I'd argue it's worse, the Russians didn't exactly elect theirs
L•O•S•E•R
I blame the criminally passive GOP congresscritters and senators for letting Trump and his fascist henchmen destroy the country. All it would take is for a few of them to agree to 25th Trump's ass and impeach Vance and Kegbreath for this madnest to end right this minute.
History will not be kind to them, and I hope the courts will hold them accountable for what they did one day too.
You kidding me. Once this fucker is gone, every single one of them will decide that the orange lying asshole was the only problem, and will reliably pull their team’s lever again and again…
Edit - goddamned autocorrect.
Don't let them or the media convince you that their actions are passive. They have had many opportunities to put the brakes on this administration, and every time they deliberately side with Trump. Every Republican congressperson is complicit with his agenda.

Threaten and do nothing.
Trump talks the talk, but I would be surprised if the Iranians didn't quietly start to walk the walk and prepare some blowing up of their own.
I don't think either of them have been shy about blowing shit up.
I do think France is slowly manufacturing consent to involve itself on behalf of Israel. If the EU sides with the US in this fight, it could get very ugly for Iran.
this is so last week...oh, wait...
Just wait for the TACO
