Fake News, like Iranians taking about mental illness LOL Fucking Psychos
Also lots of people are involved in such deals and most likely we told them how to think, what to think and when, what you think we pay CIA for... 🤡🫵🫡🤣🇺🇸
trump is definitely demented but this is definitely a propaganda bait.
Good luck with Netanyahu
3-Dementia Chess
I'm stealing this
Iran, if you're reading this, can we uhh, hire your psychologists? Asking on behalf of most Americans.
They took advantage of a mentally disabled octogenarian?! /s
As they should have. All's fair in love and war. No '/s' needed.
They should have kept going. Like, get his banking info or something. Him getting scammed would just be chef’s kiss.
They escaped an abusive relationship
No, no, America. They escaped a nasty fence dispute with a deranged neighbor.
You're the one still stuck in the abusive relationship, unfortunately.
Lots of love from the north. Good luck.
Canada’s still the one stuck with Americans to your south. Stay frosty.
And good luck to you Canadians, your government wants to implement ID age verification online.
Authoritarianism will be the bane of our generation!
I don't doubt this for even a second.
It's literally the only way this could have ended.
And it illustrates the advantages of dealing with a delusional narcissist - once you set aside your tendency toward truth about reality and instead just tell them whatever ridiculous fantasy they want to hear, they'll go along with anything you say.
I'm vaguely impressed that he didnt find some dumb way to get 10,000 of our soldiers killed.
yet
"We are giving you the Iranian world peace prize and the golden key the the straight of Hormuz"....thx for the billions
The great thing is that they can publish this and it won't change a thing.
Narcissism? Dementia? Other?
Yes
I think hiring psychologists pales in comparison to the other strategy of treating him like a 5 year old.
It sounds like the hired psychologists advised them on the specifics of how best to deal with a five year old.
~~addressing~~ exploiting
he deserves it.
we pay the price.
just another day in america
Exploiting? America is not the victim here.
It is if you acknowledge who the perpetrator is, which isn't Iran. America is one of many of Trump's victims.
...course, Trump himself was the result of America shooting itself in the foot in the first place. Then instead of learning its lesson, shooting itself in the other foot one presidency later. So... I hate to victim blame, but we kinda stuck our dick in the hornet's nest. This particular victimhood was glaringly foreseeable and easily avoidable. We're getting what we asked for.
Apologies to the rest of the world for being the meth house of the global neighborhood.
Just because we can see it coming doesnt make it stoppable. I can see a train coming but I'm not going to stop it.
This seems to be the natural progression of things given the systems and stories we decide to live by.
There are many victims.
Let me clarify, America is in no way being exploited by Iran, what the fuck.
America is being exploited by Trump is what is implied, not by Iran.
Thats not what the comment says.
"Iranians say addressing Trump’s 'mental illness' head on helped secure deal: journalist"
~~addressing~~ exploiting
The comment is implying Trump is being exploited and America is paying the price for Iran's exploitation of Trump.
Both can be true. Iran took advantage of Trump's mental illness to get what they wanted. They deserved it, but it's a costly deal for the American people. I and everyone with a brain blame Trump.
Honestly this is a raw deal for the world in general. Oil will now forever be slightly more expensive due to the tolls. Iran will come out of this stronger and that's bad for the world too.
We watched the two school yard bullies go at it and the one that started it lost. Which is fun to watch, but honestly nothing is materially better for anyone. We still have a fledgling fascist theocracy and an autocratic theocracy.
The fledgling theocracy will probably thrash and cause more issues globally and the existing theocracy will use it's wealth to expand its local power.
The fledgling theocracy will probably thrash and cause more issues globally
Issues Iran has caused: defeating ISIS, helping Lebanon defend itself from America's attack dog Israel, helping Yemen defend itself from America's other vassal, Saudi Arabia.
You're still uncritically accepting same "both sides" bullshit the US uses to prevent opposition to imperialism. A place not having your ideal government doesn't mean its good when the US keeps it weak by starving its people, finding some fascists to arm, and/or bombing them.
Iran being able to stand up to the US is fundamentally a good thing. Maybe we'll even see social progress now that they're not facing an existential threat.
Trump caused this; while it could be seen as justified for Iran to exploit the situation, the American People, the majority of whom did not want to be in this position, are the ones mostly paying the price.
Iran getting reparations for hundreds of school children America murdered and its assets unfrozen is not Iran exploiting anybody, if I spend half a century repeatedly stabbing you, and then pull the knife out 1 inch, that's not you stabbing me, thats a slight decrease in how much I am currently stabbing you.
Not all Americans
Let me clarify, America and Americans are in no way being exploited by Iran because we are unfreezing Iranian assets and paying reparations for hundreds of children we murdered, what the fuck.
Yeah, that exploitation definitely gets subrogated to the MAGAs, not Iran.
Better he be exploited than Palestinian babies keep exploting. Now all there's remaining is that Bibi gets the memo and slinks off.
I got news for you if you think Iran is the first and only country to negotiate with Trump in this manner…
Russia, North Korea, India, basically tell trump he's a strong and wise leader and everyone respects him, and he'll agree to whatever you say.
