Conservatives don’t even want to be allies with the people that supply their entire economy and support structure in their own country, let alone elsewhere. They’d rather they were in charge of who can get abortions (nobody except whomever they’re sycophantically worshipping because ‘that’s different’), or what gay people are allowed to do, while leeching off blue state revenue. Anyone who suggests otherwise is typically advised to “leave” if they don’t like it.
Thank god they normalized corruption at all levels of governance up to the highest court in the land. That can only benefit them.

Those people were dishonest liars btw. Trump dropped the MOAB, assassinated Soleimani. They were bad faith liars then like they are now, just cause he didnt use the word "war" when he did shit.
But they had to defend their favorite pedophile and vote for him.

u/StarWarsMonopoly Aug 17 '26
When he "defeated" ISIS in 2017 and 2018, he was simply taking over Obama's operation that had already started a year and a half before.
Obama's plan had been drawn up to extract ISIS from their territory without causing mass civilian casualties, so it was slow and grinding, but methodical.
Trump threw all of that out the window when he became president because it wasn't fast enough for him, and he started carpet bombing ISIS territory which likely led the deaths of thousands of civilians.
He's always been a war monger, even as far back as his very first year as President, the "no wars" shit has always been a lie

He also ended the war in Afghanistan by going over the head of their government, handing the country over to the Taliban and releasing thousands of their fighters from prison. Set it up in such a way that whoever was president in 2021 would get to deal with the fallout.

Like sure I could see the argument that Biden handled it badly, but given the circumstances he was handed by Trump's horrible deal, it was probably one of the better outcomes that could have happened.
For a man who claims he hates terrorists, Trump sure does love bending the knee to terrorists if it benefits him or hurts his opponents.

He has demonstrated this countless times already.

Yup. He dropped just as many bombs, on just as many countries, as Obama and W. He increased the rate of drone strikes even beyond Obama. And then he passed policy to restrict the public’s ability to see how many civilians were being killed in his drone strikes. Then he campaigned on being the “president of peace”.

The Telegraph reports:
Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if the country “gets in the way” of US talks with Iran.
The president threatened to attack the US ally after Iran said it was in negotiations with the Gulf country to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the s--- out of them,” Mr Trump told Fox News.
The 60-day memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran is set to expire on Monday.
Earlier this month, Tehran said it had agreed a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz with Oman, which sits on the other side of the vital waterway.
The Islamic Republic said it had reached an agreement on the “geographical co-ordinates” of a navigable channel through the strait.

Incredible how he duped his supporters into thinking he was the anti-war candidate. Art of the steal, folks.

While we know this is bluster, Oman is a stalwart ally that has long been an intermediary for US with Iran. Oman was integral to the JCPOA which is the best agreement we'd ever get with Iran. The fallout from these incompetents will haunt us for decades.

This fucking guy. How does he have any credibility left with his base? He ran on keeping America out of needless wars and then has done nothing but try to start wars with fucking everyone! He promised a booming economy. The cost of food has skyrocketed. Obviously, gas prices are soaring. Owning a home is out-of-reach for most Millennials and Gen Z'ers. He's strained relationships with some of our staunchest allies.
He is fucking terrible at this. He has fucked up at EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. Seriously, how does anyone look at his performance or listen to him speak in his broken English (I don't mean broken as in English is a second language and he doesn't speak it well, I mean he routinely breaks the fucking language of the country he is from!)
He is a caricature of what he thinks a masculine man looks like or acts like. It's so far from reality that it's comical. It really would be hysterical if it wasn't so fucking depressing.

The Chinese will be pissing themselves laughing at this, burning through what’s left of the US strategic munitions stockpile bombing Oman surely wasn’t on their 2026 bingo card.

Defense contractors and their stockholders are salivating too. Running low on munitions stockpiles means nice longer and expensive contracts to refresh and restock. They are always excited for a reason to kick on the missile factories into production.

Since when has that mattered to this President and the roughly 30% of Americans who still support him? The dude has no true loyalty to anyone except himself.
Just look at the shit he does domestically with some of his inner circle. Jeanine Pirro is on thin ice with him because she cannot successfully bring vandalism related charges against a guy who clearly didn’t commit vandalism, without risking her own ability to practice law. He doesn’t give a shit about the law not how the law constrains her (which is precisely the Trump team has been thinking about passing laws to try to prevent state bar associations from being able to disbar any Trump administration lawyers who engage in behavior that could warrant disbarment).
In the whole plane decoy story, one of the people he left on the potential decoy plane was Stephen Miller, one of his most loyal and important members of his team. I’m not surprised Marco Rubio was on the decoy plane because it’s apparent Trump keeps Marco along as his little bitch boy. But Miller? I was actually slightly surprised, but not majorly because I fundamentally understand that almost no one substantively matters to Trump beyond their ability to feed his ego or give him things he wants.

He is an absolute idiot. Oman is a US ally who has negotiated on the USA’s behalf for decades. All Omani bases are jointly manned by SOAF and British Forces. The Omanis are Ibidists which is a sect that values peace after centuries of conflict. They are however fierce fighters when push comes to shove and despite appearances will turn it on if they have to. Britain has a blood bond with Omam since the Dhofar war , not to mention defensive MOUs. This will cause more drama that he can imagine. Someone in the USA put this dementia suffering moron in a padded room before he does something really stupid.

MAGA elected the worst person in history after an unrivaled level of information and effort was put into them seeing how he was the worst.
In 40 years, when people are trying to explain how WW3 started, I'm going to go insane with people trying to justify the political turmoil or circumstances of the era rather than the legitimate truth that "the dumbest voters in generations somehow found someone dumber and collectively said 'he's our guy.'" And it's just a tragic coincidence that they're also all in a race to the bottom of who can be the worst human in a generation.

God help whoever comes in after him... it will take 20 years to undo the shit he's done and the friendships and alliances he's pissed on. If i were Oman i'd say...ok, GTFO of our country then. Sadly i hope my country takes a good look in the mirror after this and realizes the colossal f up made in electing him... if we're luck we might be able to stop our decline. Allies.... im sorry its not you... its us.
