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

This story would have sounded mad a few years ago. How many other countries will have to make such preparations? Increasingly, China looks like the responsible superpower.

Meantime another of his old pals is working away in South Texas securing a future in space and AI technology.

As of early 2026, Elon Musk is primarily based in South Texas [Brownsville] where he is actively developing "Starbase," a company town for SpaceX near Boca Chica Beach. He is heavily focused on Starship rocket development, with launches planned for March/April 2026, alongside his ongoing roles at Tesla and X. Musk is leading a new artificial intelligence project called "Macrohard" focusing on Agentic AI.

Macrohard.

A psychiatrist could write a book on that guy.

If the Ayatollahs regime was under threat and their existence on the edge, I have no doubt that they'd point a nuke at both Israel and America. You can't use Western rational on these guys. They'd be praising Allah as they pushed the button.

I don't however, think they are within an asses roar of having a weapon.

Interestingly they have the economic equivalent of a nuke in how they used cheap low tech.

The Iraq war showed the USA could win every battle, but they could not win the war. No one is going to align themselves with a superpower led by a dangerous clown.

Over the coming weeks it will be interesting to observe which GCC members pay Iran for permission passes, because that's where the next big dynamic change will occur.

Whinging again looking for help to win the already won war…

Trump calls NATO allies ‘cowards’ over reluctance to join Iran war

The US president has lashed out at fellow members of the NATO military alliance, saying they are “cowards” for failing to join the Iran war or deploying forces to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran.”

He added: “Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.”

“So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!,” Trump said.

The US Navy must be a paper tiger so and full of cowards, why isn't the world's most formidable navy able to do it?

Why the tsa airport workers just stop working 100% shut down airports

Next day they get paid such dumb fcukers

But then they let 9/11 hijackers wearing bin laden shirts go through

The reverse is also true where the idea of having satellite-country borders applies. The version the US has/had [NATO countries] is overseas in Europe, next to the Russian version which Putin is trying to "rehabilitate" with his war on Ukraine.

IMO, what Trump has done is harm the trans-atlantic NATO version while he has involved his country in a war which he now knows is a lot tougher than he, with his transactional way of thinking, reckoned it would be. Hurling insults and tariffs at the other person at the trade table in order to get a deal is his style but it doesn't cut ice when the other person has a country-full of people willing, or forced, to kick back hard against the agressor [Trump].

Trump is a complete fuckwit in the way he has carelessly brought a war to the U.S by dumping on the important part of the N.A.T.O acronym, the Atlantic, with partners keeping his war on foreign shores. He chose to stack his deck of advisors with incompetent fuckwits. The bit about him saying another president praised him for going to war with Iran was him looking at his reflection in the mirror is likely true considering the rubbish opinion he wrote about the U.S actual partners above.

P.S: what I've written is not a criticism of your post, but absolutely him. The presidential legacy he is leaving the U.S and his youngest son is how to run a giant nation into ruin.

why do so many people refer to this rancid piece of **** of a human as ‘Donnie’……? Also the majority of news and media reporters refer to him as as ‘president trump’ can ‘president’ not be dropped when referring to him….😡😡 same with ‘Putin’……he’s constantly referred to as ‘president Putin’ both being the furthest thing from being presidential imaginable

Yes it does. A totalitarian tyranny looks more responsible. That’s where the world is. Come live next to America and see how that feels these days.
