every single comment coming out of a white house official right now is to manipulate the oil markets.

... So is the US on defense, now?

The fuck does that mean? Fucking alcoholic shit

It means what Trump doesn't want to hear: That he's on the backfoot, that he's losing (even more), that he's run out of manpower, that he's retreating, that he's WEAK.

His weak little baby feet should tell everyone how weak and pathetic he is. Loser just stopped his navy escorts because Iran told him too. Like a bitch.

We have to change the sign on the Pentagon again.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I vote we sell it to Amazon and start a new one called the pentagram.

Parking in rear?

Alcoholic logic is an unfortunate and enigmatic quagmire unto itself.

TDS played those clips last night with Trump explaining it's a military operation not a war for legal reasons... Then he calls it a war moments later.

🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

There have been 10 attacks on US troops while under this "ceasefire."

It's a war.

Lacking any real plan for ending the mess they started they're just going to throw their weight into delaying consequences as long as they can. Unfortunately their creativity is limited to the most transparent lies.

Schrödinger’s War

If we win, it was a war

If we lose, it was a police action.

This was one of my first lessons when i attended military school.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This war was always offensive. Just in a different sense of the word.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 week ago

Every sense of the word :-)

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh good, so now we have entered the Endless Quagmire stage. The defense contractors will be thrilled.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 8 points 1 week ago

War contractors*

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Still seems pretty offensive to me

Yeah I'm offended.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I'm offended, if that counts.

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Rubio said: leaders should "check themselves before they wreck themselves in the direction that they're going". WTF is that. Was that early 90s when it was briefly popular. A whole generation just cringed.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

Fuck me. I had $100k on him saying "Don't go chasing waterfalls" What am I going to tell my wife? I've lost everything

[–] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

That's gotta be a Polymarket bet.

[–] sudo@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

There's millenials in the white house now. Elite millenials. Its horrifying.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Everything Trump does is offensive...as in it should offend all of us.

[–] newton@feddit.online 5 points 1 week ago

Murica lost again ,this time is was a war . Next FIFA 2026 Iran -America final ?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

I'm still offended.

[–] sudo@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Rubio wants this shit to be over so we can finally invade Cuba.
