Some of you will die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Can we at least send out the fascists to die first? Not that I'm advocating we kill them necessarily, but might makes right is a big part of their ideology so like it's more like practicing what they preach? Kinda??
americans behave like cattle
A lot of them look like cattle too
An insult to cattle...
I hope y'all are ready to fight and die for Israel!
"In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran" - Trump, Nov 29, 2011
"BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected." - Trump, Jan 17, 2012
"Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012
"I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013
Every accusation is a confession. Always.
"Well, it looks like Obama finally attacked Iran, fucked it up, and lost." - Trump, 2 years from now.
It's always projection with fascists.
Can someone explain to me why the Trump administration isn't afraid of a military coup?
An estimated 15/20% of Iranians are hardcore supporters of the theocratic regime that Trumpstein says he wants to remove. That 15/20% is violent and well-armed enough that they can effectively keep the rest of the population repressed. And from what it looks like right now, even if their ability to project power outside of Iran has been hit, they still have that power internally (and dismantling it would require the US and Israel to put boots on the ground and have many more casualties for a much longer time than they are willing to).
So, it apparently only takes 15/20% of violent, well armed fanatics to hold a whole country captive. Probably less, with good surveillance tech. Now let's do the MAGA math and see who should be afraid of a coup....
This may seem surface-level but . . .
Pick any base. You cannot visit the NEX, gym, medical, dental, squadron spaces, offices, or any other similar space on base without seeing Fox or similar Conserv卐tive propaganda playing 24/7.
The military minds are perfectly programmed with this shit.
you nailed it completely.
The military is 95% Trump supporters
Because americans are a joke
He's literally paraphrasing Farquaad at this point.

Wars should be fought by their leaders, not their citizens.
"Why don't presidents fight the wars? Why do they always send the poor?"
Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn’t that be a sight.

“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor”

The pedo sack of shit and his thugs strike again by murdering innocent people and wasting billions from the US treasury. All this shit to distract from the Epstein files.
Its part of Facist takeovers.
Overwhelm the public with controversial news so they burn out.
Its outlined in the book "On Tyranny" and aligns well with present day.
It's not just to distract from the Epstein files, that's a sweet little benefit of course, but it's mainly just a continuation of the exact same US imperialism that has been ignored for nearly a century. They didn't need Epstein files to invade Afghanistan, or Iraq, or any of the dozens of nations subjected to US interventionism. The Epstein class have been fucking all of us over for decades, they just enjoy it with kids more.
Read Daniel Immerwahr's book, "How to Hide an Empire."
In a week, they'll be dropping MORE Epstein Files, to distract from the atrocities they'll be committing in Iran.

"We must take Poland by the spring."
In a letter regarding that snub, Trump wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in January that “considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”
This is revolting, we are fucked. What a weenie
...he knows the Nobel Committee is a private entity right?
No, he doesn't know that, he's stupid.

I'm ashamed he's my president but I'm more ashamed that a significant number of my fellow Americans don't just tolerate his words and behavior, they fully and enthusiastically support them.

Imagine dying to protect a paedo from the repercussions of his many decades of raping children.
Here lies Chad DudeMcHamburger.
Blown to pieces in Iran for a person who didn't, and still doesn't, give a shit about anyone, even his own children.
Rest in peace knowing that you were a distraction from the kiddie fiddling for a few days.
RIP.
But according to Trump, those are losers, anyway. Just to remind you how the imbecile that started the war values the ones who have to be at the front.
he really going for the gold on that list of "absolute fucking dumbest thing i could possibly do" every week

You guys are so fucking cooked down there.
This is a worldwide epidemic of unrestricted capital. You're next beaverboy.
