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

Thats an interesting interview for sure.

It goes to show how a lot of red versus blue debate over the US is really redundant as far as the rest of the world is concerned, they're warmongers either way.

1st pic.. no.. 2nd pic ( this ) yes

"Like I said both red and blue were going to get into it with Iran directly"

Please point to the time that Joe Biden initiated a series of military actions against Iran that have the same level of imminent potential for economic catastrophe, if not general catastrophe, because I must have missed it.

He didn't but plenty on his side did. He also didn't stop the Israeli's in GAZA when it became clear HAMAS were no longer a major threat. He isn't president now though so we won't know what his administration would have done but there's plenty of hints from their candidate Harris who calls Iran her biggest enemy, likewise Hillary who not only was she a candidate but the wife of a two term democrat president.

Obama in Libya showed how he reacted to regime's that massacred their civilians.

@Tony EH even Iran admitted they killed a few thousand. Do you think they lowballed the number?

But wasn't HC touted as the war monger and the continuation of the same old, and Trump was going to change everything? And now we are down to 'well, they are all the same'. So why not vote for the more experienced one then? Because of Trump's inexperience, and in 2024 is downright illegality, he was pushed away because Harris would be so much worse.

GWB is not the same as Obama. In fact, many claimed that Obama was too weak. Biden, at no point in his 4 years, ever ever even remotely, came close to the calls for war crimes to be carried out.

There may be similar feelings in both parties. Iran is a bad place, but then I would hazard a guess that most sane people would see Iran as a terrible regime. But does that similar viewpoint mean that we would all act in the same manner as Trump?

The only difference now is Iran's military industrial complex is severely compromised and would take years to rebuild. They've lost their position of power. Hezbollah is severely weakened and HAMAS not doing the best. At the rate Iran was building it's missile's it would have become far more costly to attack them down the line. It was becoming a now or never moment. Iran for years had been stalling by agreeing not to enrich the Iranian further while their ballistic stock piles grew massively. They've also been chucked out of Syria. Never have they been so isolated especially now they've gone to war against their gulf allies.

Imo Iran have completely fucked it up and nobody feels sorry for that regime after they murdered protesters.

Hahah, we have gone from "but Biden" to "but Hilary"

Trump supporters are a mystery.

even Iran admitted they killed a few thousand. Do you think they lowballed the number?

There are numerous lies being spun about the death toll in the Iranian protests at the beginning of the year. False figures are always north of 30,000. This was merely a worst case scenario put forth from people outside the country while the protests were still going on. They have been subsequently shown to be false, yet there are still liars going around repeating figures of 30,000, 33,000, 36,000 and so on. And now we have you with your 40,000.

The fact is, and I cannot believe that I have to reiterate this yet again in face of yet another lie, that the only reliable death toll figure that is currently available is from the human rights organisation (IHR) that have been actively gathering the names of the dead…all the dead…and have published the figure of 7007 as of the end of February, with approx. 11,700+ names that they were still investigating.

Even if all 11,700+ names were in fact dead, it would still be nowhere near this nonsensical lie of 30,000 or 40,000.

“As president, I will take whatever actions are necessary to protect the United States and our allies. I will not hesitate to take military action if Iran attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.”

Thanks for the clarification. Here's another quote. Like I said earlier their strategy seemed to be stall the final piece of the nuclear puzzle while they build up a massive stockpile of ballistics and other weapons.

Their fatal mistake was pushing their proxies into attacking Israel which led to their general in Syria getting killed. I don't believe any American president would have left Israel to fight the Iranian regime alone.

Iran lost any remaining goodwill when it started supplying weapons to Russia to kill Europeans and murdering it's own civilians in a mass killing event.

There's a lot more to it then that. Hillary wasn't a candidate for this election but Harris was and the al Jazeera article on here was telling.

So its the kiling of people that was the trigger? Trump is actually on a peace mission?

Wait until Trump hears about the amouint of civilians that Israel have killed in Gaza. Or the amount of Ukrainians that Putin has killed and how many balistic missiles he has.
