These clowns and their maximalist bullshit. Were they playing paddycake for the past 5 weeks?
These idiots and their scorched earth threats. Worst B-movie villains ever.
Still don't know why.
Just know we can't have nice things here.
Because it stopped a lot of the Epstein questions
Because they have lots of oil and aren't Christian.
are brown*
Everything is 2 or 3 weeks. 10 years from now, it will over in 2 or 3 weeks.
I'm confused. I thought they had 48 hours to reopen the straight, but not really because talks were going well, but still 10 days until the US destroys all the infrastructure, but talks have been productive, and the war is going to be over any day now, but it doesn't matter because we don't need the oil, but we could take over the oil fields, but Europe should help us, but we don't need them and they should do it themselves.
Dont forget "we shouldnt even be there"
I hope the sons and grandsons of MAGAs get hauled off to boot camp.
Just make it simpler. I hope people who voted republican find themselves homeless and begging in the streets.
With us running headlong towards Great Depression 2.0, this doesn't seem far-fetched
Of course. It worked for Vietnam after all the combined ordinance used in WWII was dropped there and its neighbors of Laos and Cambodia. Oh no wait the US still failed spectacularly. Is the US gonna have another forever war just to hide the president's role in a massive pedophile ring?
Will this be like how their military has been wiped out? Doesn't he realise everyone just calls his bluff because he literally never goes through with anything he threatens.
And the oil markets responded appropriately, WTI is now $112.
Bye bye any economic performance for all of 2026!
Oh we'll claw back into 2025 (if we aren't already). How deep will we dig?
If he carries on like this is going to end up getting taken out by the oil execs.
Fuck you mean? All the US oil majors are ROLLING in cash right now, they still have plenty of supply but get to profit from global shortages. They love this shit.
Any miltary strategist will say that you can't bomb your way to a victory.
But you absolutely CAN bomb the news about your pedophile rape gang out of the front pages.
He is a disgrace to the noble tradition of the FIFA peace prize.
Not so sure about that. I think he is pretty much in line with the FIFA peace prize requirements.
He's the only FIFA peace prize recipient to ever start a war.
Lucky for him, the Amazon Oscar is still within reach
No country has ever surrendered unconditionally from conventional airstrikes.
So we're either going to see boots on the ground (well, they're in the area), or more tiny hand flailing within that time frame.
That's why I always have one old unupgraded pikeman hanging around since 560BC to take over cities.
Especially a country run by a threatened regime. If the IRGC give in, they’re dead. They also have established that they don’t care about the human cost.
Oddly enough, does this not also apply to the USA?
Absolutely correct. But I think the republicans are actually in worse state than the IRGC; they are the aggressors and clearly perceived that way by a lot of their base, and there’s still the idea of free elections.

Man, it sure didn't take long to pivot from "We need to invade Iran to protect those poor protestors from their evil government" to "Bomb 'em back to the stone age".
How strange. It's almost like Trump didn't have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.
It’s almost like Trump didn’t have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.
Does he ever have anyone else's but his interests at heart?
To anyone that was actually fooled by this, when we start bombing Cuba, please remember to not listen to the Cuban diaspora that cheer on the bombing as some form of liberation. Remember all of the Iranian diaspora that cheered on Iran being invaded? They do not care about the country they or their parents left for the US. And with Cuba, there is a high likelihood they are the children of slave plantation owners that fled Cuba after the revolution.
I’m living in Miami right now and there are no bigger “victims” than some Cubans here. Everything is someone else’s fault. If it weren’t for the revolution, they would be rich!
The weirdest ones are the ones that say their parents/grandparents "fled communism"; and then you ask them "when?" and they say "1953".

From the get-go? You mean the get-go where we blew up an elementary school full of little girls?
Yes that's the joke they're making
The situation has no way out. Leaving without opening the strait ruins the Gulf States that own a large part of the American economy that would go to hell. Opening the strait without troops on the ground is impossible, troops on the ground will be a pickle in lives and material as not seen since the Second World War. I think before this is over he will be seriously considering the nuclear option, I hope they can stop him before that
I hope a clot stops him before then because there’s a much better chance of that than any of the spineless people in government suddenly doing anything about anything.
Your tax dollars at work. You could’ve had free education, Medicare for all, functioning roads and infrastructure, end homelessness, but instead we’re bombing fucking brown people in the Middle East. Let’s waste all this money and blow up the fucking desert mountains in Iran while simultaneously fucking over the rest of the world and raising gas prices to 10 bucks a gallon.
But at least the Dems got owned! Fuck yeah murica!
That would be….gasp….socialism
What gets me is there is still people supporting this. I find it hard to imagine how we'll ever progress given we can't even agree on the problems to be solved.
Because theyve been raised in the belief that shooting yourself in the leg is worth it as long as some random person you will never meet loses both their legs.
