I thought the super advanced American military had completely destroyed the formerly modern Iranian military?
At least twice, according to official US bragging.
They destroyed them so much, they looped around and are now bigger than before
Trump can fuck right off.
Just send Barron. Then we'll consider. Actually we won't, get fucked anyway but send Barron while you're at it.
I can only assume you've left out 'to the sun'.
Give him a bb gun and cardboard armor, then send him to the front lines.
what a deeply stupid person… and that's after being a rapist pedophile
You don't get it I think. He's playing 5d chess. But here's the plan in full.
Insult allies and friends.
???
Win.
He might be using 5D chess pieces, but I think he's using them wrong. As in chewing on them or inserting them in places.
He's not even playing 2D chess.
that's too complicated for my brain
Not him, but the elite who makes you believe that he is playing.
The billionaires and politicians could do an impeachment if Trump didn't make sense for them.
I have seen enough of those grovelling and kissing ass to pretend they are all "in control"
Must billinaires today are just nepo babies… ascribing superior smarts to them is buying into the myth tht money = smarts
Even if most are nepo babies, who else but them is keeping Trump in power?
I do not disagree they are keeping him in power… I disagree they have a master 5D chess plan and are in control… which speaks badly about they capacity considering trump is easier to manipulate than an eager dog in front of a ball
Unless Trump is part of the plan. Him being a "Russian asset" allows each US citizen to disassociate and to not feel responsible. People shrug everything off while nobody asks who is in power if Trump is so incompetent. To me that looks like a brilliant plan.
and I think my cat loves me because she is constantly rubbing against my leg… but maybe she just loves the treats
Didn’t he just tell the UK he didn’t need their help? He already “won the war” or some shit like that? I’d tell him to fuck off. In those exact words.
Yes he did
Um,...no. Thanks anyway, bro.
If only Keir Starmer were equipped to think of this retort. We'll see what he does.
I thought he's been rather clear on this? Has he started to waver?
"We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are."
So where are these drone and missiles coming from if it's all 100% destroyed?
Wait, the US Navy needs help defending 2 shipping lanes from an enemy with 100% destroyed military capabilities? Is that it?
With not even a concept of a plan, Trump shits his pants and then asks others to come clean his pants.
"I did an oopsy. Please come and clean it up for me." - Trump
Bugger off kiddie diddler.
He wants to go from it being "definitely not a war" to "definitely not a world war" because he and his clown car administration fucked around and are now in the process of finding out.
Nah, we need them to defend Greenland, sorry Donald.
To save his ass...
Now taking wagers on when Trump will say he doesn't need to aid Nato allies because they didn't send troops to Iran.
I thought he had already won and didn't need the UK's aircraft carriers.
The US lifted oil sanctions on Russia. They aren't being an ally to us, and we have no reason to send our people and resources to deal with their nonsense. Focus on phasing out fossil fuels as soon as possible instead. (This should have been done decades ago, but the second best time is now.)
in other words, he wants to make the problems he created other people's problems
Fucking why? Why would anyone else want to get involved in this war?
Even if you ignore all of the ethical concerns with this war, there's no benefit for any other nation. Hell, the only benefit for the US is as a distraction and it's now become too distracting.
Continuing the war causes oil prices to increase and also affects international trade in general. Why would I as a leader of a European nation want this situation to continue?
I can see how Trump managed to bankrupt a casino now.
Why doesn't he give Churchill a call
"Oh yes"
The US has the largest naval fleet in the world why can't they do it? anyway I thought Iran's navy had been totally wiped out so what exactly does he need on the nation's warships for?
This is so insanely stupid. Iran lets out some ships from countries like China and India, which made deals with Iran. So other countries can either transport cargo on those ships or make a deal themself. No reason to risk a warship, which could be used against Russia and valuable air defense needed in Ukraine.
Uh, how 'bout No.
Edit: you just know that anyone who comes in, is just going to get blamed by Trump and the Trumpettes for anything that goes wrong - which will be everything.
And that's just if they're lucky. At some point Trump will fuck off and leave them holding the bag - and a bunch of the blame - on occupation-or-evacuation, face some kind of moral depression on rebuilding (you know the US isn't going to do it, those days are over), and also likely terror attacks on their home soil and infrastructure. So yeah - no thanks. We used up whatever goodwill we had in the voluntary military operation department when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.
No.
Nonce
Not by the hair on your chubby chin chin.
A unimaginable level of desperation.
