More accurately they know trump won't follow through on the negotiations. Trump says he's going to bomb you, there's a 50/50 chance he will bomb you. Trump says he's going to talk peacefully, there's a 100% chance either the US or Isreal is going to be bombing durring or before the negotiations and during whatever cease fire is negotiated.
How fucking funny would it be if we wake up tomorrow and Iran has drone struck the white house, similar to how Ukraine did with Russia last year?
That would be the most unexpected and hilarious ending to Trump I can think of.
That would be absolutely terrible.
Currently, the general US sentiment seems to be that Trump is an internal problem, that you have to deal with.
An attack on the White House would not be seen as an attack against Trump, it would be seen as an attack against the nation as a whole.
We have an example of this, look at the approval rating of Bush before and after 9/11, they surged from just barely over 50% to above 90% instantly.
Now, I don't expect this huge of a jump with Trump, but I there would absolutely be a huge jump in Trump's approval ratings after a foreign attack on the White House.
Plenty of people would see it as their duty to support the president in those times.
For the 30% of lead poisoned weirdos, maybe.
During the theater run of Independence Day, people in the theater often cheered when the white house was destroyed.
Pretty sure that was a movie, though
I believe that Americans know the difference between the WTC and the Trump White House
C and H! Do I win?
Then instead of the White House, Mar-a-lago🤷♂️
So? USA is also absolutely attacking Iran as a nation as a whole. USA has set the precedence that Iran is absolutely allowed and even justified in doing this. And I for one would not lift a finger to help USA, but will continue to boycott American products.
USA created this mess together with Israel, and USA shouldn't come fucking crying to Europe if the White House is bombed!!
Like USA did when Iran closed the Hormuz Strait. 😡
Iran is clearly the victim here. Iran may be a shitty country, but on the international scene USA is worse.
I mean, in the hypothetical example I believe the implication was not one that trump survived. So a better analogy would be turning point USA. Of which yeah general like and "honoring" of charlie certainly went up. But on the whole the influence of turning point USA seems to be less. As far as the overall, I'm not sure how to really judge how that would go in this hypothetical would b long term.
We live in the shit timeline, we don't get nice things like that. We get undying Trump who lives like another 40 years as president and bullets fly around him like that stupid movie Wanted...
This isn't a video game. Iranian drones with the ability to strike the white house wouldn't be "nice things".
Iran aren't the good guys and war is always shit. No exceptions.
Who said this is a video game? I want Trump to die plain and simple. Suffering would be a bonus.
To elaborate, no I don't want innocent people in the white house to die, but the gist of the initial comment was essentially eluding to trump being killed which was the concept I was supporting.
War does suck 100% of the time and there are no good guys in this world. Iran, US, or otherwise.
I'm guessing you are thinking about operation spiderweb, where Ukraine released drones deep inside Russia from Russian registered trucks, and took out several fighter jets and very valuable AWACS.
Yes such an attack on white house taking out Trump would be hilarious, and absolutely justified karma as deserved, considering USA did the same to Iranian politicians.
I would worry however what the response to such an action would be?
