The war could end tomorrow and oil prices will still be fucked for at least 6 months. This is high in the running for dumbest thing any president has ever done.
Hegseth and trump seem legit surprised by Iran's actions even though they're exactly what every Middle East observer predicted...
Maybe chatgpt didn't warn them.
It's not like Iran has been wargaming this scenario since the 90s when the US booked the shit out of Iraq right?
Gpt is generous, I assume he usually finds answers at the bottom of a bottle
Admittedly, I'm reading this in a bar... And I think created the meme in said bar the other night...
Oh no, I'm becoming Pete hegseth.
Wait, calm down. Have you bombed any boats? Or have you double tap bombed any little girls hiding in a school?
If yes, then, ok, you're kegsbreath and you should do the world a favour by topping yourself.
If not then don't worry, you're just a normal alcoholic!!
I think it's just the most recent, all us presidents are war criminals in the end.
I didn't say criminal, I said stupid. Though it's high in the running for most criminal, too, since they're ordering war crimes at Nazi rates.
If I recall correctly, and someone correct me if I’m wrong here, but the first war criminal president we had in office was Nixon for arming Iran to the gills with nukes.
Not nukes. Just lots of conventional weapons. Before the 1977 revolution in Iran, the U.S. sold them a bunch 'leagally', then the U.S. (arguably) triggered the revolution there, and after the religious nut jobs took power, Regan sold them lots of weapons (non nuclear) illegally (against the arms embargo) in the Iran/contra affair.
