    Yeah I well believe it just the photo shared wasn't a B52.

    My thoughts on Trump regarding the nuclear sabre rattling. For context I didn't fear Putin's threats for one second while the MSM had the general public in a frenzy. I think he's talking nukes now to deflect from a possible ground incursion of some sort. You had all the talk about Greenland when his army was lining up outside Iran (technically 1000km away in the sea). He's fond of these ridiculous statements when he's about to do something else.

    Hard to know if it's part of a coherent strategy or not but there's a pattern there with that man. People are hyping up tonight, let's see what happens, CBA speculating on it when we've just don't know.

    this really is turning into the perfect time for China to take Taiwan.

    Logical YouTube video: As well as being very damaging to America's SOUL

    TLDR His point is that the statement alone, threatening to destroy civilization warrants a war crime.

    Its certainly a prima facie example of Genocidal intent.
    Couple that with the already ongoing war of aggression and it's a compelling case.

    The Pakistani PM has just asked Trump to extend his deadline by 2 weeks while also asking Iran to re-open the Straits of Hormuz.

    That right there is Trump's off ramp if he wants it. He can say something like "as a gesture of goodwill to my friend the PM of Pakistan I'm agreeing to a two week extension etc etc"

    It may even have been choreographed with Washington. We'll find out soon.

    A coherent strategy? You forgot <sarcasm></sarcasm> around that bit



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,923 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Agreed.

    When this period of madness is over there needs to be a lot of straight talking done to America.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭amacca


    And he is a retard with no doubt everyone around him telling him whatever he wants to hear

    Nothing more dangerous than a moron with power

    I'm hoping though as he is also a bully deep down he's a snivelling weasel coward I think he is and he will ultimately back down



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,731 ✭✭✭✭Jelle1880


    It's telling to me that even his most ardent supporters as in Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson,… are now openly asking for the 25th Amendment to be used.

    it would be much better to see him removed, to suffer the shame and indignity of it, than just suddenly die.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,051 ✭✭✭RoyalCelt


    I mean if Trump, who isn't coherent, is part of a long term coherent American strategy on this issue. It feels like it was heading here regardless over the last 10 years.

    All his loud mouthing bluster does is deflect from what the American strategists don't want people focusing on. And he loves it, like I said earlier he treats his job publicly like a TV show.

    A lot of these guys are part of the Russian/Iranian propaganda machine and Trump played them like a fiddle before he got elected. He doesn't care what they have to say and tbh I've never cared what Tucker and co had to say either. They're so far up Putin's ass it's unbelievable.

    Not to me, they were always 'true believers' in the America First stuff, unlike it seems the vast bulk of Trump's base. It was inevitable they would turn hard against him once he attacked Iran…

    It is a high stakes game of poker except there will be no winners except arms manufacturers. Everyone else will lose billions. The US look like they are prepared to go all in with everything they have got, Iranians could lose everything if they don't fold but they have a card up their sleeve.

    No matter how many bridges and power stations the US blow up, the Iranians will always be able attack tankers in the Strait. Even if they only carry out one attack per month, that will be enough to keep the Strait closed. I think Trump will carry out a major attack just to save face before he folds

    What if there's a deal being announced tonight?

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,146 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    It is all that Trump fans can rely on right now. They are too afraid to address Trumps actions directly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,932 ✭✭✭amacca


    I agree, I don't want him let away easy either

    However a narcissistic moron like Trump would probsbly believe it was unfair/ an injustice perpetrated on him....he's delusional enough to believe his own bullshit...and his particular kind allows for zero reflection or improvement etc etc...after all how do you improve when you are 100% correct 100% of the time ....he could light the world on fire and he would still be amazing in his own eyes and it would be everyone else's fault...

    If Trump were not to TACO out of this fix he's got himself into but go ahead with his "bomb them back to the stone-age, I couldn't see the royal visit to the U.S going ahead as he would undoubtably claim the U.K were OK with the bombing. He would also be on a par with Putin and liable to been sent into diplomatic coventry by a lot of the countries who he's fucked over with his tariffs for the past year. The trading world has been waiting for the right opportunity to get it's own back on him and I can't see the inflation-hit U.S public rushing to defend him from being bad-mouthed by foreigners.

    It would give Rutte a reason to tell Washington he was not arriving tomorrow as he had to go into consultation with the European branch of NATO.

    Listening to the Bulwark podcast today, they were suggesting that Trump is surrounded by a cadre of Christian nationalist advisors who are basically telling him he's the messiah.

    Now, I thought that sounded a bit hyperbolic, but then I remember,

    and

    and

    and basically it's a whole thing.

    Obama and GW prayed, but I don't see any pictures where they're being treated like some kind of holy antenna by a semi circle of fawning underlings. Scary…

    Part of the reasoning behind the JCPOA was ensuring that Iran pursue uranium enrichment outside of a weapons capacity and it was working. Everyone benefited from that deal and it was the correct way to handle the issue. Iran had sanctions lifted and economic benefits and their interest (not that it was even really there in the first place) in a weapon was shelved.

    Trump tore that agreement up because…Obama…or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    That's the level of reckless idiocy the world is dealing with right now.

    With this ridiculous war and the unstable nature of both the US and Israel, what we can be absolutely guaranteed of is that there really will be more heads in Iran who'll be talking about the necessity of developing some sort of nuclear deterrent in the future and they won't be limited to the current regime members either.

    Not only that, Trump and Netanyahu's aggression has shown smaller nations that the way to be left in peace is to have a big stick yourself, especially if you have something they want.

    If he doesn't taco he will make Hitler look like an alterboy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,923 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Bullshit. Absolute 24 carat bullshit.

    All of it.

    You should be ashamed to spew this kind of crap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    You didn’t say you disapproved either. So which is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,142 ✭✭✭Paulzx


    He loves the oul "2 weeks"

    He'll deffo go for it!😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    we’ve spent a fortune housing Ukraine refugees but you lump us in with Russian assets because we haven’t given them a few more billion?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,051 ✭✭✭RoyalCelt


    Trump's actions speak for themselves. If the likes of Tucker get put on a pedestal it will be pointed out who they are.

    Edited. Video out of context.
