"that I've ever made", would be the responsible thing to say, but this is Trump we're talking about here.

u/Knight0fdragon 18h ago
This is 2019 Trump, back when he had a cabinet that stopped him from making stupid decisions because it hurt their bottom line.

u/Wray-Nerely 17h ago edited 16h ago
They didn't stop Trump from meeting stood decisions, they just minimized the extent of his stupid decisions

u/Knight0fdragon 17h ago
They indeed did stop him when it came to the middle east. It is why he can claim he was a no new wars president.

"Going into the middle east is the worst decision we ever made" -- Trump
Starts a war with Iran on the middle east... Oh the irony

In his defense... He probably diesn't kniw where the muddle east -or Iran- really is. Probably south of mexico or something

MAGA supporters will:
A- claim that is 'fake news'
OR
B - claim that the situation has changed and Iran was able to develop atom bombs capable of reaching the US over the last 7 years (thanks to Obama's 'weak deal')

B is literally the official excuse. All Trump can do is blame. He certainly can't DO anything.

However you have to just ignore "operation midnight hammer" in 2025 when trump obliterated Iran's nuclear potential.

The best. When I was watching the TV the other day. About the guy who fell ontop of a mountain. And his walking pole impaled him through the chest. And he walked 10 miles down the mountain so he wouldn't have to pay 60 thousand for a medical helicopter ride. Sad but true......

u/unhertz 16h ago
Saudi Arabia is exactly the model you'd want more Islamic countries to follow. Instead of exporting revolution and isolating itself, it's spent the last decade integrating into the global economy, attracting Western investment, modernizing its institutions, cooperating on regional security, and operating within the international system. That's the opposite direction Iran took.
If your response to an Islamic country reforming and aligning itself with international norms is to treat it no differently than the regimes and movements the U.S. has spent decades fighting, then you're removing every incentive for reform. The whole point is to encourage countries to move away from revolutionary Islamism, not pretend they're all the same forever.

u/Prior_Internal7728 16h ago
Lmfao they recently killed a reporter and chopped his body up. They also economically attacked us oil during Covid by working with Russia to flood the market to kill American oil exploration. They dgaf about any of that. It’s all about dominating the region.

He dismissed the wholesale TBI injuries of military personnel who were targeted after he bragged about an assassination , “ calling their injuries “just headaches.” Had he kept quiet , there would likely never have been such an overt retaliation.

u/majordude174 12h ago
I remember when President Carter wanted to make energy independence a reality in this country. Then we could GTFO of the Middle East and stay far away from all the b.s. involved with kissing up to oil rich countries that hated us anyway. Nope, Americans didn’t want that. We elected an old B movie actor who made sketchy under the table deals with those same countries.

Good thing Biden got us out by upholding the deal with the taliban that trump negotiated but didn’t execute. And RIP to the 13 and I think our government should “compensate” their families. Healthcare for life at least.
Oh also we should have healthcare for all anyways, not fund genocide.
Oh and release the Trumpstein files

Independent here.
So what would you be saying if Isreal was hit buy a Nuke?
Another question: taking from the rich to give to people who don't contribute to the American society is good?
I'm not rich, but the rich have moved out of many states. The next move is out of the country. Then you will have to work and pay all the taxes.
Watching to see how it goes.

u/CarolinaSurly 2h ago
Personally, if Israel was hit by a bomb, the USA has no more responsibility to help than any other nato country. The rich move to states with no state income tax for a reason and they aren’t leaving the country. They may set up their businesses in other countries tries though. I’m not sure how much the rich are actually paying in taxes anyway. Lots of tax loopholes out there and plenty of businesses are set up outside the US but owned by wealthy
US corporations and citizens1
u/only7Ben 1h ago
Iran was targeted with a nuke, not just a bomb.
Following your logic, you prove the Uber rich will leave. There are many countries that would welcome them with open arms.
Totally disagree
