Hands down the dumbest president in the history of the United States of America.
No wonder conservatives identify with him.
Trump didn't even check in with allies before making the decision so fack you and your war donald he actually made the situation worse lmao
To be fair he couldn't be bothered to check in with HIS OWN GOVERMENT before dropping bombs at midnight, why on earth would he go phoning across the pond?
Trump said we don't need anybody else.
He also said we already won
Kick out America's and Israel's embassadors => problem solved.
I bet the vast majority of my countrymen would be fine with that if it means gas and fuel prices going back down. Even if that's not yet the case, I bet it will be the case if this shit continues for another 2 or 3 months.
Only the politicians around here in the pay of or blackmailed by America and/or Israel put having those embassadors here above the welfare of the population.
Trump is the worst president in American history and I don't think it's close anymore. And he has years to fucking go.
Does he though?
Kissinger was nearly 100...
Evil people seem to live longer out of spite, and he has access to some of the best medical care in the world.
Yes, he does.
Don't we have to stand on our own two feet and be more accountable? That's what you said right?
Why would anyone want to help him? He threatened them for no reason and has made life difficult for them every chance he's gotten while in office. Meanwhile, he's escalating a BONKERS-level war with Iran which is in NO ONE'S interest.
But even if he didn't do any of that, what he is asking is for the Western nations to jump into a difficult war that likely will end up in failure.
A war where he still did not provide a clear reason why it was started, and war that wasn't even approved by the useless Congress.
Congress hasn't been required to approve wars for a while now. Unfortunately, what he's doing is legally within his presidential powers (for 60 days then it goes to Congress)
But even then, Congress already shot down the attempt to stop it, so it basically has their approval.
Congress hasn't declared war for a while now, true. However it's pretty rare for them not to be involved in giving their approval at all though.
They tacitly gave their approval by not passing the bill that would have stopped it, so in this case it's no different than any of the other bogus middle east wars.
I hope Trump suffers before he dies.
It's a horrible thing to think that way, and I didn't use to do that for anybody 9 years ago.
But Trump is so horrible, and has caused so much pain, that he deserves Biblical hell.
Trump is beyond evil, you can be 100 times better than Trump and still be evil. Trump is on the level of Hitler and Stalin.
In history we very rarely see leaders act this evil, even when they are evil. Netanyahu is his equal, and is also expressing sadistic tendencies and complete immorality in his polices.
But what is worse, is that those two are elected in democratic countries. Meaning that they are not the real problem, but "just" symptoms of sick societies.
Unfortunately USA has a long line of politicians in the republican party to carry on with what Trump is doing, that are equally without conscience. Maybe they are more intelligent, and maybe that will make them even more dangerous, or maybe it will make them hold back a bit, because they know being evil can make you unpopular.
Yes Iran was a problem, but they were not THEE problem. On a global scale that is Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. Or rather USA, Russia and Israel. Because the problem is not only in the top.
I really hope he has a stroke and gets locked-in syndrome for a decade before he dies.
I can't think of any worse punishment for a narcissist than to be aware of what's going on but be unable to communicate. It would be literal hell for him.
That sounds beautiful.
Regarding Republicans they are literally scared of him, if you haven't seen it look up Rubio wearing oversized shoes because trump gifted it to him.
Nobody would do that, they would just "forget"to wear them, or if they didn't want the person feel bad maybe even buy same ones with right size (it is not like they don't have money)
This was done to humiliate him.
I think he has holding a kompromat on every one of the people in his cabinet.
Spend every dollar you would've spent on this shitty errand towards renewable energy.
You shat your bed, you lie in it.
Resistance beyond borders. Without a clear goal, why would you choose to get on the field.
To attempt to provoke them into attacking US soil so the midterms can be suspended.
Or unneeded election so BiBi doesn’t go to jail, too.
Exactly.
"We need some ships to sail around and find out where the mines are. Some of you will explode, but thats what happens in war. Additionally, ill need to throw you under the bus when I make stupid decisions making a bad situation worse, because im incapable of taking responsibility for anything at all ever. Finally, I will tariff the fuck out of you because im a huge asshole and everyone pays attention to me when i tariff things."
To a T!
poor pedonald
Europe is correct. It was never consulted by Trump before he bombed Iran. This is the proposal that Europe should offer Iran. Iran will be allowed to continue its nuclear program as long as it's for peaceful purposes. Iran must agree to be strictly monitored for compliance. If Iran agrees to the proposal, all sanctions would be immediately lifted. Any violation would result in invasion by Europe and any other countries willing to participate. The proposal would seem pointless if the US doesn't approve. No, because at least the world would know that Iran is willing to accept some type of deal. Also, Europe would lift its sanctions against Iran. The proposal should be brought before the UN. If many countries approve, it will put pressure on the US and Israel to approve.
Neither America nor Israel can be trusted to uphold any agreement and Europe has shown it will always bend over to America and Israel rather than leverage it's power and push back for the sake of saving an agreement - even one of this importance - with a 3rd party.
Europe has to demonstrate having a spine and some fucking honor when it comes to America before it's trusted as a counterparty to such an agreement and, at the moment, at least the EU Commission has repeatedly shown that they're little more than boot-lickers when comes to America.
The conditions that made such an agreement a great idea have been destroyed by America's betray and Europe's half-hearted pushback.
The US and Israel don't have to agree. Europe could independently make the deal with Iran. This would show what type of deal Iran is willing to accept. Europe would end its sanctions meaning it could start purchasing items including oil from Iran. Other countries could agree with the deal putting pressure on the US and Israel to accept it.
Trust is a lot easier to lose than it is to gain and Europe has lost a lot of trust when it sided with the US when Trump unilaterally exited the last agreement and imposed sanctions.
Further, continued submissive compliance behaviors from Europe towards the US in all manner of things (for example, Tariffs) aren't exactly helping building in others the trust that in the future Europe will stand fast in such tri-party agreements when America unilaterally tears then down: if Europe won't even play hardball towards America when an American Administration goes back on bilateral agreements with Europe itself, it will certainly not do so in the interest of a third party in a trilateral agreement involving it and America.
America can't be trusted because it's a ultra-nationalist and imperialist country with a growing Fascist side and Europe can't be trusted because it acts as a spinless coward that won't even stand-up for itself, much less for others.
If Europe makes the deal I proposed independent of the US and consequently, incurring the wrath of Trump, Iran will see that Europe is growing a spine. Europe could tell Iranian leaders that it is willing to go out on a limb for them.
I don't think anything short of making the US lose face will work.
So, it depends on the details of the deal and the reaction of Europe to any push-back from America - Europe has to treat the expressed wishes of America as irrelevant and if America actually pushes back (such as with Tariffs, as has become Trump's default mode of pressure) it cannot bend.
So everything pre-us invasion? The EU sanctions have very little to do with nuclear and more with human rights and Irans involvement with Russia as far as I know.
Maybe they should have nukes now, just to stop Israel and us from invading. Dont get me wrong, I dont think anyone should have nuclear bombs, but the nations that have them are all land grabbing asshats and if that stops from invasions. Also how would you make Iran accept this offer? Whats in it for them?
Stuxnet was probably more effective in stopping Irans nuclear power.
Don't worry about human rights as long as Iran isn't committing genocide like Nazi Germany. The important thing is to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran will accept the deal because it saves its leaders face. They can just say that they always only wanted nuclear power for peaceful purposes. Europe would end its sanctions. If other countries agree with the deal, it will put pressure on the US and Israel to agree.
The day the current nulcear powers get rid of their nukes i will support Iran not having a nuke
The fewer countries having nuclear weapons means the less likely one will be used.
The mosy likely to use one is Israel. How about if israel do not get rid of it's nukes. All countries should invade Israel?
The problem is that Israel already has nuclear weapons.
then if israel use a nuke , nuke them back
