Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If it's not from the War region of France it's only sparkling violence.
It doesn't have the war label on it
It won't come from the War region, this is just operation traditional
Because Pete returned to calling it "department of defense"
What a fuckup

Who is the person that can unconditional surrender for Iran ? Who is Trump writing to here ?
Teachers of dead school children ? The dead leaders ? The dead Americans ?
Are we Americans supposed to surrender Iran to Trump ?
Yes, I American am declaring to Donald J Trump that Iran has officially unconditionally surrendered. He should immediately fly to Tehran and hand pick the next leader. Thank you for your attention in this matter. God Bless MAGAts.
What could go wrong with such a brilliant strategy built upon an ultimatum, when we have a basic bunch of drunk podcasters in command of the military. The levels of Dumb and Wrong are way off the charts now
Nothing good is going to come from this.
This statement could apply to every second of every minute of every hour of every day of both Trump presidencies.
First as tragedy, then as farce.
The only tiny thing I support Trump on is getting rid of pennies, and he half-assed that
We’re in the “find out” part of the “fuck around”.
America is run by a pedophile death cult that is controlled by a genocidal death cult. There’s a lot of overlap between those groups.

That's what I said when he was elected

Unless you're an arms manufacturer! You gotta find the bright side.

Add nation building to the budget. Im sure there are some gov contractors just itching to do next to nothing and get paid millions for it.
Thank goodness we dodged that Kamala bullet. It would have been just as bad.
In other words, the pedo started a war with no end goal and he now wants the people he's bombing to hand him a win.
We tried to tell everyone that Trump is a terrible business man, he can't even understand the order of numbers.
America FIRST?
I guess MAGA and Trump were meant for each other, neither seem to understand that first would imply that it comes before others.
PEDOnald meant himself first, everyone else...can get bent.
Just like Putin he wants to expand. Doesn’t matter who or how. Venezuela, Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Iran. He just wants to be remembered as the person who expanded the US. And the scary thing is, he has resources to do it, but luckily not the competence.
More annoying is the lack of pushback.
Americans would rather die than commit to this and not get any of our black liquid crack fix out of it.
You know what unconditional surrender will mean.

Wait, I thought this was not a war?
He's gonna drop a nuke to distract from the Epstein files. He wants nothing more than to be remembered and he doesn't give a fuck how.
Surrender... And then what? What's the actual plan here?
A casino and condos!
Well, we aren't talking about the Donvict-Epstein files as much right now, are we?
~~Trump~~ Israel says there will be no deal with Iran except 'unconditional surrender'
TACO Tuesday next week.
In other words: Trump needs to drag this war out as long as possible, because he needs to distract from the Epstein files and his crimes longer than he hoped.
So Trump is surrendering right?
Maybe he'll appoint Barron Trump as ruler of Iran. I'm mostly kidding but also won't be too surprised if I'm right
Have any of you seen this guys videos on game theory? He's been discussing why Usrael is destined to fail this fight. And explains things in a way most people (like myself with limited knowledge on the topic) can understand.
Has a few million views already. It's worth watching.

I was interested until I finished his last video. Between his complete dismissal of the kurds as nothing but "hustlers" looking to rob the US for what it's worth and then him ending the video with "oh btw this is a war for global control of human consciousness." I was like... Yeah... No...
