the us has been threatening iran from way before trump was even being considered for presidency.

Yes they do, Iran embargo was way before Trump. But as I understand, Trump was sort of reluctant to attack Iran, and even kidnapped Maduro for distraction.

trump kidnapped maduro for intimidation, and was just as immune from the epstein stuff then.

i think you guys will have to depose him if you want him to see consequences.

You guys

Don't look at me, I don't even live in the American continents.

even if you did, i don't think usians in general are ready for action at all.

too many americans are either too comfortable or too desperate to do this; only a systems collapse caused by either climate change or economic crisis will accomplish this.

then we better hope the oil stuff crashes their economy asap, i really don't want to see what an empire-ending climate change crisis would look like.

i suspect that they're going to use nukes once their oil stuff is truly threatened

then they better come up with a new way to keep rule of the world like they are rn, because they will be throwing their ruling global economy in the trash and they are not the only ones with nukes.

though to be fair detonating the planet and ending life on earth as we know it because they can't have it all to themselves anymore is something i can totally see them do 🥲

the plan is to go hide in their bunkers & safe spotss while civilization collapses from climate change and then come out of their bunkers later to then continue dominating the remaining 2% of humanity that survived the fallout on the surface.

writing this out makes me wish that i was making this up rn.
