    I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not? It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.

    Trump is trying the Madman Theory again. With his usual bluntness and terrible poker face. Why would it work this time? Is he stupid?

        Trump backed down on Greenland when Europe said “nuh-uh”. He will go slaughter some starving cubans instead.

        What a lionheart trump is.

          My only problem with “backed down” is that he says a lot all the time, but what he does or not does is completely different. He hasn’t actually taken any action against Greenland, just talked about it. (That company that was going to drill is, as far as I can tell, not related to the Trumps in any meaningful way)

          So not that I disagree with you per se, but… Iran he has actually attacked, although not invaded (ground troops).

    But wait I thought they were already totally destroyed and decimated and annihilated and embarrassed and begging for a deal. President Warloser and the Secretary of War (crimes) couldn’t be lying to me and the state of the “Trump Strait” that he definitely controls could he?

    It’s a race! Iran has been 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon since 1978. Trump has been 2 weeks away from annihilating iran for 6 months.

    Trump propagandists could teach Zeno a thing or two about finish lines.

    I feel like, and this isn’t in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

      If the UN ever enforces a resolution, it should be this one. This war has not changed my mind anout Iran having nukes, but it has become crystal clear that the US should NOT have nukes.

        It like saying to a judge you should put a person in jail after conviction. A judge like the UN has no executive power

    Truman won’t be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum

      Using the bomb saved lives though. Using it twice was overkill perhaps, but a ground invasion of Japan would’ve caused so many more casualties. I would remind you previous napalming of Tokyo killed more than both the nuclear weapons.

      Their culture was fight to the death, it would’ve been magnitudes worse with a ground invasion.

      It’s like when a parent gets frustrated and starts yelling at a kid without thinking anything through. “When we get home I’m gonna…well you just better hope I don’t decide to annihilate Iran, mister.”

      I dunno, this was my first thought yesterday when I saw the news of a potential withdrawling of 25-50,000 US troops from Europe…

    Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it’s on a 3 week cycle.

    Almost like he’s trying to distract from something.
