Americans criticize US state department, with one person saying she felt ‘betrayed’ and treated like ‘an afterthought’
US citizens living in the Middle East say they’re “angry” at the US state department, criticising the Trump administration for having no “backup plan” to help them leave the region in the hours and days after the start of the US-Israel war on Iran.
One person, whose family voted for Trump for his anti-war stance, said she felt “betrayed” and what she perceived as the treatment of US citizens as “an afterthought”.
It’s like every person that supports Trump sees him actively not give a shit about anybody and they think “He’ll care about me when the time comes though.”
Literally every single person in that administration is a Sociopath, and they just don’t care about other people, at all, so it NEVER occurred to any of them to give a single advance thought about any Americans who might be over there.
It’s almost like we shouldn’t have struck out of our own best interests.
This is a big part of why I’m not traveling anymore; how am I to know if he will just decide to randomly attack the country I’m visiting while I’m there? While I’m away, he can just decide that everyone returning to the country will need their phones searched at the border, or liberals aren’t welcome back in the country anymore and none of the dipshits in congress will do anything to rein him in and it’ll take a year before the Supreme Court hears a case and they’ll just end up siding with him anyway.
“with one person saying she felt ‘betrayed’ and treated like ‘an afterthought’”
She must be new to Trump’s orbit if she’s the first woman to feel betrayed and treated like an afterthought by him.
Forget a backup plan. Their main plan was half-baked, at best.
That’s the true genius of this whole thing. If you don’t have a plan at all, then there’s no logical way to have a backup plan. Just think about all of the time and mental exertion you can save by just turning off your brain and doing whatever Russia and Israel command you to do.
Trump’s final plan will be to simply put American armed forces directly under the command of Putin and Netanyahu. That way, he can conserve his precious little brain power to run his crypto scams.
The us plan was literally:
If Israel attacks without us, Iran might attack US bases. So US should just attack with Israel.
No part of the “plan” addressed that Iran would logically attack US bases.
Bibi just told Trump it was a solution so that was enough for trump.
It just guaranteed the bad result they thought might happen. But if just Israel had attacked, it’s likely that would have been the only place Iran counter attacked.
I think Trump and his cronies literally thought this would be a Venezuela. They thought “Oh, we just kill the supreme leader and Iran becomes our lapdog”.
It also probably helped that the Elisons likely promised trump a new mansion.
Are there really still people who believe that this regime cares about anything other than shameless self-enrichment?
It was already like that during the Orange Pedo’s first term in office.
How can anyone still believe that he even remotely considers the people in his shady dealings?
A large part of the benefit of being an American taxpayer when living or working abroad was that the USA would absolutely have your back diplomatically and use the power of the government to extricated you back to the USA if there were difficult diplomatic situations or in times of violence/war.
If trump is just giving those Americans the finger when they need this help, that would be a severe reduction in the benefit of continuing to be a US citizen outside of the USA.
Backup plan? He didn’t have a front-up plan. He got railroaded into it by Israel because they pulled the Kompromat out and told him to get in line at the last minute.
“You can’t get out of here! There is no exit strategy!”
The plan: Attack Iran
That’s it.
this is a lie, Trump did have plan.
Obey whatever Israel orders him to do.
Where does guzzling Putin’s semen fit into that plan?
It’s an implied daily activity, you don’t need to put it in the plan.
Pretty sure Bibi and Vlad are spit-roasting him.
The backup plan is clear. Find a way to get aboard an oil tanker. He’ll find a way to get those out…
I’m not sure that the public believes oil tankers are safe. Are these built so that the front doesn’t fall off?
Well, it’s definitely not typical I will say that.
nobody even considered leaving when we bombed Iraq, what the hell made anyone think this time would be any different? oh, right. the whole “Trump is a unique evil” bullshit.
