    Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it’s on a 3 week cycle.

    Almost like he’s trying to distract from something.

    And none of his followers think anything about the potential annihilation of a whole country. Truly despicable. At least they’ll keep each other company in Hell.

      I remember when i was a kid my mom would say shit like “we wouldn’t be in a war if we just bombed the shit out of them til there was nothing left.” They dont see the people living in the middle east as people, they didnt 15 years ago and they dont now. there is zero empathy and its disgusting

        It’s just the natural continuation of a mentality that allowed “people” to come to a different land, rape and murder everyone in sight, settle in the graveyard they filled themselves, and still call themselves people, supported by God even. Nothing new, but the fact it’s been over 200 years and it’s still prevalent enough that Trump, the figurehead of Western imperialism and white supremacy, has over 30% approval rate, makes it all very sad. But John Brown existed, so I keep my hopes up that one day, God willing, humanity and the desire for peaceful coexistence will settle in the heart of “radical” Westerners.

          Every people has some black stains on their past…but it really seems like white people are the last ones to realize it.

          We (white people) are the bad guys.

          There’s been lots of bad guys, but for the past millenia or so, white people have been and continue to be the worst.

          We’re #1?

          I guess what we have to accept is that if we’re not the bad guys, then someone else is and then we are the oppressed. So we can’t just forfeit being the world’s assholes, because somebody else will do it to us!

            In my opinion, wealth is the primary driving factor of that. Exploitation and abuse of the bottom by the top seems to occur in nearly every culture that doesn’t put in strict safeguards to neuter the privileged.

            The British empire dominated so much of the globe that the white elites advanced to the Olympic level of exploitation, but if we blame it on their color alone, we are leaving the back door open for other ghoulishly rich groups to stand in their place.

            I believe the real issue is the aristocratic class. In England, it was determined by heredity, and in America, it is determined by money, but the kind of person who inhabits that role is the same: mean spirited selfish assholes who fundamentally believe they are better than everyone else and that they deserve to get everything they want because the average Joe is inferior to them in every way. They think normal people serve no purpose unless they are serving the needs of an elite.

            That attitude strikes me as profoundly anti-human, and I think they should be treated as what they are: a predator that threatens the entire species who must be eliminated for the common good.

          damn, just imagine if instead of doing that, they’d exhibited some solidarity(I’m assuming it’s about manufacturing jobs related to cars)?

          I bet if Americans had held strikes in response to layoffs OR chosen not to buy foreign cars back then, today their unions would be stronger and their cars wouldn’t be so… wasteful (in many ways). Sure does suck to suck.

        I had a boss who said the solution to the middle east is to nuke it. I thought he was kidding at first, but I don’t think he really was.

      Trump supporters are selfish people. The fact millions of innocent people would die is less important to them than the fact it will increase the price they pay at the pump

      At least they’re upset with the war because of gas prices, I guess

        Iran has been expecting a military invasion their entire lives.

        We sent some real estate agents.

        Guess who won?

            Now WHY would you tell the WORLD that you are out of ammo??? No logic there.

            What I suspect is a special “someone” owns the munitions factory that “desperately” needs to be in high gear right NOW. There’s some logic here.

            That’s SOP for this president. Gee some more logic.

        Trump backed down on Greenland when Europe said “nuh-uh”. He will go slaughter some starving cubans instead.

        What a lionheart trump is.

          My only problem with “backed down” is that he says a lot all the time, but what he does or not does is completely different. He hasn’t actually taken any action against Greenland, just talked about it. (That company that was going to drill is, as far as I can tell, not related to the Trumps in any meaningful way)

          So not that I disagree with you per se, but… Iran he has actually attacked, although not invaded (ground troops).

    But wait I thought they were already totally destroyed and decimated and annihilated and embarrassed and begging for a deal. President Warloser and the Secretary of War (crimes) couldn’t be lying to me and the state of the “Trump Strait” that he definitely controls could he?

    I think Trump wants to nuke his enemies, and is trying to normalize the idea. Iran, Canada, Greenland, New York, California, Mexico, South Korea, anyone who simply disagrees with him.

    It is my hope that the intelligence agencies of other nations are keeping close tabs on this. If need be, I hope they kill our nuclear codekeepers and destroy any means of launching the nukes.

    Trump is the kind of mad man who would sooner see the world burn in fire, before allowing it to defy him.
