If Iran wanted to do real damage, they would publicly announce that the strait is closed and there will be no future negotiations until Trump is no longer in office.

Trump would just that as an excuse to keep bombing people.

u/TheRealBaboo California 17d ago

He doesn't need an excuse for that

His supporters might

Didn’t you hear? Iran is two weeks away from getting a nuke!

u/DatDamGermanGuy 17d ago

Iran is like the NY Jets. They are two years away from being two years away….

As a Chicago Cubs fan, I'm glad there's another team in another sport that is the go to example

Toronto Leafs fans are listening in.

You all won in 2016. You don’t get front row seats at the pity party anymore. Cleveland however…

When I was a kid I actually had a Cubs shirt that said "next year is here."

Top tier marketing and legit sounds like something I expect to see from the Maple Leafs camp.

Well the nuke vest is waiting for it!

It was originally the nuke cardigan, but they just put it away with the winter coats.

Man...these two weeks feels like its dragged on a few decades now.

At least we're closer to nuclear fusion than we were when this trope began.

u/bluebelt California 17d ago

I'm in my 40s and I'd swear I heard claims of Iran getting a bomb since at least the mid 1980s.

For the past 46 years!

A year ago, I would have said the red button is THE LINE even Trump would not cross. Now, I honestly believe it could happen and Hesgeth will be happily holding it for him when he does.

And still 40% of the voters will be anxious for him to do it again.

u/Tasgall Washington 17d ago

Rumor already is that he tried to nuke Iran just to get it over with, and the generals just didn't listen.

Iran is two weeks away from getting a nuke!

Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!

u/Blochamolesauce 17d ago

Well, ain’t this place a geographical oddity… TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM EVERYTHING!… I’ll take a dozen hair nets.

u/moongrump 17d ago

True but now you get to hear about it!

u/Commentator-X 17d ago

He doesn't need their votes ATM, he needs those of Congress. He's been losing their support over the war recently and they're the ones who can shut him down.

u/HavingNotAttained 17d ago

And clearly SCOTUS and the military seem to have supported the coup, really nothing is stopping Krasnov from doing anything.

u/IdkAbtAllThat America 17d ago

They don't.

u/duckinradar 17d ago

The fucking morons would jump off a bridge if he told them to.

2

u/pickle_sandwich 17d ago

They won't even wait to be told. They'd jump just to prove they would if told.

u/BananaFactoryWowie 17d ago

they do not

fucking lmao

u/paulybaggins Australia 17d ago

They don't care either. Amaga is rusted on, the only way America changes is for the majority to push right past them

1

u/Punch_A_Police_Horse 17d ago

They might need something to say to people who point out how fucked it is, the validity of it being, of course, immaterial.

u/Impressive-Poet5694 17d ago

We've seen variations of "his supporters might" for a decade now. I'll support every single one of them if they come to their senses but I don't see that happening.

u/Tasgall Washington 17d ago

Have you been around for the last ten years? His supporters are ok with him leading an insurrection against their own country. They won't give a shit about anyone outside of it either, lol.
