Crazy reality when the bare minimum ideal to aim for is not electing senile pedophiles to the most influential position on the planet Earth.
Every so often the truth comes out and it's shocking AF when it comes from there.
I dislike hom as much as the next guy but what he meant is very clearly not what the article implies. Baitclick
Yea it's misleading. Probably on purpose
Reading the article, it sounds to me exactly as the headline implies. So tell me, what did he actually mean then?
That the US could live well, while the strait is blocked. He never meant to say "i shouldnt have started the war"
Which is also a delusional statement.
Dealing with the strait should be up to Europe and the Middle East. Not about the war.
Senile
It's almost like he only joined in on the war because Israel was instructing him or something.
Israel may have pushed him but daddy Putin green lit it.
He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online:
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”
It's Iran's terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked...
But I really think he's getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.
If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.
The Christian leaders also see their parishioners spending all their money on gas, on the way to church, instead of on tithing.
Man I am so fucking ready for the Nationalist Christians to become huge fucking pariahs as a direct result of all of the idiocy that they’ve been pushing
by then the world may be literally cooked.
Oh boy do I have terrible news about runaway climate change
It was 80 degrees here yesterday and its snowing right now as I type this.
And this is the best our climate will be for the rest of our lives 🙃
And he threatened NATO, who by all his accounts "stood back from the front lines" When Article 5 was called during the bullshit second Gulf War. And now he DEMANDS they help. Sure buddy.
I just love the quote:
So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding...
He starts with needing help, starts to say he just really wants it, then pivota to demanding it.
The fact that he went thru those steps shows how much pressure he's facing.
His two biggest wings of influence has been Israel and American christo-fascists, if they start pulling him in opposite ways, he can't hold onto both.
He's fucked, but so are the rest of us by extension. Hopefully just till midterms at least.
The thing is, as a foreigner, and speaking bluntly, this is on the entire American population, voting him in once was one thing, but not dealing with Jan 6 harshly under Bidens administration did nothing more than encourage them and their billionaire backers. IF there's no false flag operation to cancel the midterms and IF presidential elections are held and the democrats get into power, you lot are going to have to overhaul your entire system to ensure another Trump doesn't happen. And honestly speaking I can't realistically see that happening.
He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
Sure, you fucked up everything, but other countries have to resolve the situation that you created.
Senile old pedo rapist "thinks" out loud...
