    Little baby Trump must have really had some diaper rash from all of the taco memes after he mentioned the two-week window.

    Any American blood spilled by Iran if/when they retaliate will be on Trump’s hands.

      Yes, as uus presidents usually do since WW2. But don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll tell you “THATS NOT US”, and it’s just Trump and definitely not a systemic problem.

        The POTUS has the discretionary power to send troops and launch a military action without Congress approval in case of emergency alone. There wasn’t any emergency.

          The “emergency” was Netanyahoo starting the bombing of Iran, soon after someone said “Trump Always Chickens Out”, so Don bravely joined in dropping bombs at no danger to himself.

    What it costed Israel to make you do it and also announce it? A promised land of gazan golf courses or another Trump Tower there? I can’t get how he is still breathing with everything that he did in his life.

      Hate to be that guy but -> “Total global Civilizational Collapse by 2050” is being tossed around. And going by the past absolute fuckery of prediction skills, that means we got at best till 2040… No history or historians, just slow climate death and extinction for all.

        “Total global Civilizational Collapse by 2050” is being tossed around

        By whom?

        Doubt it. Climate change is already happening, but we can mitigate its effects the earlier we tackle it. Plus, no idea who is floating the collapse idea around.

        It would be hilarious if Trump’s, Israel’s and Iran’s actions end up triggering significant climate action out of the sheer cost of continuing to burn oil. The last fuel crisis in the 70s actually caused significant amounts of research into alternatives and some interesting electric vehicles were actually released during that time

          All US Marshalls will be androids, so you feel ok shooting them while living as an outlaw.

          You will need a Bachelor’s in some liberal arts degree to qualify for the outlaw profession. Outlaws pay taxes only every other year, and are categorized as “self-employed” so you have to track your own taxes.

    We’ve launched an unprovoked and unwarranted attack Upon A Sovereign Nation. Now’s the Time For Peace. It’s an amazing sentiment. It’s like a school bullies who hits you and then says you can’t hit me back.

          So you are saying everyone saying Iran was building nukes were lying? At that point, how do you know the news of the us bombing Iran isn’t also lies?

            I mean the intelligence reports said it wasn’t. The people who said it was are known liars Trump and Netanyahu.

            Id believe the Intelligence community over those clowns.

            Tell me you learned nothing from the Iraq War without telling me you learned nothing from the Iraq War.

            Chris Hedges: War Deja Vu | The lies told to ignite the war with Iraq have been resurrected to ignite a war with Iran. The assessments of intelligence agencies and international bodies are dismissed, replaced by hallucinations.

              Forget the intelligence community’s Annual Threat Assessment that “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003,”

              Weirdly enough that assessment says

              In the past year, we’ve seen an erosion of a decades long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons

    The worst part is, international laws and conventions are basically means nothing at this point. US actions simply incentivizes more countries to get mass-destruction weapons.

    • Does US call you as 51. state? Get a nuke.
    • Does US want to invade your island? Get a nuke.
    • Does US want to airstrike your country? Get a nuke.
    • Does US government officials breach your constitutional rights? Maybe consider owning a mini-nuke.

    Thanks to these maniacs, Kim Jong Un now seems to be wisest person on the earth…

    What an absolute joke.

    I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. “This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!”

    peck peck peck “B-O-M-B-S”

    Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. “Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs.”

    Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

    Then ends it with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

    It’s such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he’s keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

    Absolutely deranged.
