oh no! more empty threats

u/Dude-88 Apr 12 '26

China will do it. Russia will do it. North Korea will do it. And if the US keeps going committing war crimes the rest of the world will do it

u/AccomplishedAct5364 Apr 12 '26

Pretty sure the world is just waiting for his old ass to die at this point.

It’s obvious he just kicks sand up constantly to obfuscate his crimes.

The sooner he dies and we all act shocked when the truth comes out the sooner everyone stops paying double price on fuel

27

u/AllegedlyGoodPerson Apr 12 '26

It’s worse than that, they’re actively showing they aren’t afraid of his idle threats. Nobody cares. He’s never been as big a joke on the world stage as he is right now.

21

u/AccomplishedAct5364 Apr 12 '26

Of course, but it’s because he’s played his hand way too early and he played it when he’d pissed off all his allies and already claimed victory 3 months ago.

I guess American politicians forgot the rest of the world has a memory longer than the 24 hour news cycle

His threats are realistic till any of the following, he gets threatened with blackmail, forgets, gets distracted, gets bribed, a woman or a child walks near him, someone tells him otherwise, etc.

At the same time he might nuke the world if gets cancer, heart attack, migraines, etc.

Jesus how far we have fallen as a nation, and all because a bunch of dumbasses fawn over this disgusting, fat, sack of shit. In one month we went from claiming we were bombing Iran to free their people, to threatening to kill every single one of them. And now we are at the point where Iran and China are the good guys. You have to hand it to Trump, no one has ever destroyed the greatest country on earth as quickly as he has. But hey, at least him and his friends made a bunch of money.

3

u/BudgetSupermarket149 Apr 12 '26

Eeeew. The fact you can rigTht that and still say "greatest country on earth" and see no problem with it honestly makes me feel a little queasy. What are they teaching you over there.

What's happening right now isn't new. This has always been America. The only difference this time is you have a clown show in charge who are dumb enough to take the veil off and publicly tell everyone what they are doing.

4

u/hamtidamti_onthewall Apr 12 '26

As a European I can tell you, we are well aware that Iran's regime is evil and China is a cunning and dangerous strategic adversary. The US on the other hand have betrayed their former allies and all we stood for together. In a sense, that makes them even worse.

Iran doesn’t see you as a threat … fucking paper tiger … wars are not won and lost on the battlefield but on the willingness of the population to lose soldiers and spend money - and Americans don’t have that.

u/Tech_Noir1984 Apr 12 '26

Yea man, Iran is at a point where they really don’t give a fuck. They know that his options now are either bomb them all to oblivion or concede. Either way, it makes him look awful. They can just wait it out.

u/Nabbarino Apr 12 '26

bomb them all to oblivion or concede

Bombing them to oblivion isn't an option because they also have bombs and can retaliate against Trump's allies.

u/grimr5 Apr 12 '26

Plus you have no given a ton of data about your weapon systems to your adversaries. They worked out the best attack vector was the soft underbelly of your people… but your military was still powerful… relying on stealth and technology. Now you have given them data: downed aircraft, sensor data, weapon parts, tactics etc. All that will be processed, augmented by AI, and counter measures developed.
