No nukes! Somebody please stop that idiot from using nukes!!
Everyone and his dog will be getting a nuclear weapon if that happens. The future of humanity will be very bleak indeed.
Yea, cause they’re doing so well so far.
"Not!"
Which one is it? 4th time?
No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it's just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?
And that one guy is Netanyahu
Always has been
It's not just 1 guy, it's most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!
I think your math is old. Trump is the least popular potus ever across all population sectors now.
I keep hearing this and I also keep reading how those same people who now think he's unpopular, also voted for him 3 times and would vote for him again.
Stats don't lie, MAGA does
The numbers are 3 days old, and were posted here.
He's so unpopular, he can start a war on twatter while shitting, and the whole country happily does what he wants no question asked.
“we’re blowing up the entire country.”
What country is that? USA?
For those not aware, Trump is actively destroying USA not Iran.
For every escalation USA is just making it worse for themselves.
Remember the big present and that no one knew who was leading the country but he’s talking to the right people and they gave a beautiful prize
There's no salvation for this man. I hope someone stops him, and my thoughts are with civilians of the region.
Blud, my thoughts are with all of us that didn't sign up to be part of this fucking insanity.
so let me get this straight. Just so I'm clear, it's unfair when Iran blockades. But when dumpy does it to cuba, that's perfectly fine?
Only the imperialists have the right to self-determination. None of the rest of us….and that includes the workers within the imperial core.
He is manipulating markets
I still have hope that he's dead or dying. Has anyone seen him alive yet, other than tweets which anyone can post?
he is not dead. vance wouldn't wait a second for his promotion. dying... who knows.

Reminds me of this classic Andy Griffith Show scene from the Opie and the Bully episode.
“So you want to fight? Step across this line. Alright, knock this off my shoulder, I dare you. So you wanna fight huh? Just step inside this circle.” 😆
We watched all but the last season or two of Andy Griffith during covid. Once Barney left we left.
Yeah, the series definitely overstayed it’s welcome.
I wish we had made the decision to drop Facts of Life earlier those last two seasons are painful.
Trump
Always
Chickens
Out
He remembered how bored he got after he had solved the conflict in Ukraine on day one.

Imo he has been looking for any excuse to launch a nuclear bomb since he first became president. I don't even think he cares why, how, or who he ends up using it on, even if it's his own people. As long as he gets to use his ultimate power as president and press that big button. And as long as he isn't personally affected he won't even give it a second thought.
I firmly believe he WILL nuke someone before his term is up if nobody stops him. I firmly believe people have already stopped him before.
He wants to be remembered, and he knows that there's only one reason people remember Truman
there is no big button that trump presses, that is the myth. the suitcase being carried with him, for some strange reason called nuclear football, is basically just a sat-phone that connects him to some joint chiefs operations center. from there, there is a long chain of command leading to some soldiers in silo somewhere, who actually have the button. anyone in that chain of command can still say no and break the chain.
The "big red button" is a metaphor.
bad one, since it can give you really incorrect impression, like "trump can one day wake up and press the big red button". which he can't do, because there is no such button. good metaphors try to help understand the thing they describe, this one does exactly the opposite.

I think I'd prefer he bombed a hurricane.
