Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Europe leaders should remind american dictator he abandoned Ukraine while he is to use European bases

Aside from the fact he cannot be trusted

His war of choice is how the buffon feels on the day

We now have a man with an associate’s degree in construction, who was chosen for his singular loyalty to Trump, as the next secretary of homeland security, but if there's a black woman with ample qualifications and experience, you have a problem with that, because that must be a DEI hire, yes?

Bassant floating the suspension of sanctions on Russian oil. So basically we have Trump and Putin both bombing countries to effect regime change more favourable to their bidding.

"So basically we have Trump and Putin both bombing countries to effect regime change more favourable to their bidding."

A tale as old as time itself

Edit

It has gone in the space of a single week from bombing Iran creating the opportunity for the population to replace the current regime with one of their own choosing, to now Trump looking for total surrender where he would decide who the new leader would be. With all the different factions getting them to accept whatever leader the majority chose would be near on impossible. Hoping to get any of them to accept a U.S. puppet would a recipe for a civil war.

I really hope I am wrong in this, but every time the markets have reacted unfavourably to one of his utterances he has done a TACO, and he knows he is living on borrowed time on the price of oil where it will keep increasing and within a few weeks will reach a level where it will be much slower decreasing than it is now increasing. The rule of thumb from other such increases due to wars effecting oil prices is four weeks. My worry is that if it gets closer to that four weeks and no end in sight he may get desperate, and with Israel and Hegseth involved, there is no limit on what they both would be proposing.

If Trump taco's on his attacks then I can't see him returning for more.

His next pivot will be to cause enough mayhem at home to have the midterms cancelled.

Can't decide if he actually believes this nonsense, or whether he doesn't but thinks his idiot followers do...

I

Does this boil down to preventing Iran from shutting the Straits of Hormuz to traffic ?

Can the Shaheeds and any other tool Iran has in its locker outlast this assault or can they retain enough weaponry to prevent traffick passing through?

The last time this happened,I think was in 1956 when Nasser nationalised Suez Canal.

He won that battle (lost subsequent battles)

I imagine Iran (or what remains of it) will have the upper hand in this aspect of the war but that is just a gut feeling.

I can see Trump trying to use nuclear weapons to get his way...(doubt that would be effective )

Well they already have home advantage against a man child with no strategy. The Iraq invasion took 8 months of preparation as well political coalition building.

😀 I hope he gets to experience said dildo

But the jaded cynic in me thinks people like Trump that enrich themselves, bully all round them,display monumental leves of incompetence, have seemingly zero honor and leave nothing but havoc and destruction in their wake rarely experience consequences....its usually the decent people that don't deserve it and woukdnt visit them on others deliberately are the majority that experiences the consequences.
