People say Trump has no war strategy, but his strategy is quite clearly a criminal one of destroying Iran's civilian infrastructure (and killing a bunch of people in the process) unless they capitulate. We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah.

We're simply wasting billions of $$ to engage Israel and Saudi enemies. Our military is being used as mercenaries for the Middle Eastern countries that have paid Jared Kushner for them. Think about that.

When a group attacks civilians and civilian facilities, the term for that group is: terrorist, as in terrorizing civilians. trump/GOP have indisputably made the US into a terrorist country.

At this point, you seem to be right. It’s likely that US citizens won’t be very welcome in Europe this summer. Stay put. You might even get spat at on the street if you start talking too loudly. Of course I won’t do that; I have relatives in the US and they won’t be able to visit.

The US is gonna be like an ex trashing someone's apartment before moving out. They'll fuck up Iran and head home having achieved nothing except spawning a new generation of terrorists and left stuff in ruins for others to deal with.

The problem we'll have for decades at least, is that it wasn't just trump. It was everyone willing to follow him blindly. That weakness is something another piece of shit could use to do the same or worse, and the entire planet know is now. We're screwed for the next few generations.

There are millions of guns in the US and your holy second amendment says you can have them to protect yourselves from the government - so.. no, you are not helpless.

I agree! If Trump war/killing obsessed Hegseth think Iran’s leadership & the people would not react in “self-defense,” they are truly dumb! The USA started this unprovoked war, killed the wife & children of Mojtaba Khamenei, & 100+ children, the Iranians have “legitimate” reasons to hate America!

Destroying thousands of years of irreplaceable human civilisation and history, by an ignorant uneducated demented fat old white pedophile. My historian heart breaks.

If Trump can't have Middle East oil then he would be happy for nobody to have it. Provoking the destruction of Middle East oil production would result in a barrel of US oil costing $300. Over $100 billion has already gone from our pockets to big oil and gas companies in Trump's crazy war.

Yes, but I was listing it he causes. These are also unique to the US, although the first-past-the-post system does a lot of damage in Canada and the UK as well.

Please don't be ashamed... Furious,Yep, me too. But I voted for HER. THEY should be ashamed, and everyone that voted for him or any (R). But, seemingly, they apparently don't have the genetic make-up.

"Seemingly"and "Apparently"... Ooops, darn...Sorry, apologies... I posted and displayed, redundantly and unnecessarily... the same, coequal thing, Geez ,gosh... Now, at this time... I can't or am unable to... stop, OR discontinue.

I understand your POV for sure but I think there’s a % that thought staying home was surely enough, some maybe didn’t get off work or couldn’t get there or were sick or whatever their reason. And then there’s the admitted election interference by Musk that we don’t know just how pervasive that was.

They are this decades Bush, Cheney and Blair. And like that trio, they will never suffer a damn thing for the millions killed or uprooted in the wake of their criminal actions. The era of impunity coincides, not so coincidentally, with the era of oligarchy.

Israel has been threatened with extinction year after year. You can’t expect 7 million people to lie down and wait to be killed, albeit the means of self-defence must be proportionate. The US is a different case. Trump has no justification for his lack of foresight and indiscriminate use of force.

While Iran itself describes explicitly and accurately what is going on. bsky.app/profile/atru...

One of his war strategies is to keep Hormuz controlled & blocked by Iran so that Trump's transactional billionaire pals and corporate (ExxonMobil, Chevron) donors who give to him, his family, GOP politicians & MAGA causes, can continue to make BILLIONS from the windfall of the Strait's closure.

This is Israel’s playbook exactly. It’s what they do in Gaza, Lebanon, etc. which is continually funded by the U.S. — and now the U.S. and Israel are doing it in Iran. If you’ve been paying attention to Israel for the last 3 years, it’s all the same.

"We -- the United States of America -- are a rogue state and global pariah" and clearly ++strongly allied whith a undoubtedly fascist country, #Nazisrael . Although the right word is "dog follower" and not allied. (Really sorry for our fellows , the dogs)

Literal generations knew that there was no way to win against Iran without a WWII-sized effort (and suffering similar losses). Now the most that can be "achieved" is to decimate the young Iranians who would eventually have brought the aging theocracy down

Sad truth. I expect every decent general in the military to refuse obeying his orders like Gen. Randy George is doing. Otherwise they all become war criminals like Trump itself.

Racist is what racist does - Trump / Hegseth fire Army General over bigoted reason: #usarmy #commander #hegseth #trump #republicans #maga #gop #democrats #war #middleeast #iran #holywar #usnavy #usairforce #usmarines #departmentofwar #fired #generalgeorge

He's too stupid to have a war strategy. He's not bothered with details beyond those which benefit himself. He's not an experienced, knowledgeable politician, has little-to-no understanding of international history or diplomacy. He's just an over-indulged, overinflated, two-bit wannabe.

I’m afraid to say it, but yes you are. And everyone, including a lot of you, knew it would be bad, but he was elected anyway. And even when he’s gone, and some poor dem has done their best to clean up for eight years, there’s no guarantee you won’t vote for someone just like him.

Bombing a country facing an immediate threat with nuclear ballistic missiles and forcing a country to surrender are two different things. The latter constitutes an infringement on another country's sovereignty. A government that does not respect sovereignty loses its international legitimacy.

They have very clear goals and intention. But don’t want us to know because it aligns with their fascists need to control the world and is illegal and puts all of our lives at risk. They don’t care

Yea but, that’s not new. 51 nations since 1890 the US has directly attacked. 46 nations since WW2 attacked by other groups backed by the CIA. 81 other non-military attempts to interfere in elections. 0 presidential terms that weren’t involved. Wake the fuck up and smell the napalm.

Your country has failed. Most of you just don't see it yet. The Romans couldn't see their empire collapsing until it was too late, either.. That is your fate now, too far gone for redemption.

The US is a terrorist state. Killing innocent Iranians, double tap on the bridge and school(after killing kids) killing rescuers . Cutting off Cuba, starving ppl,no electricity, oil. Threatening takeover of Greenland, Canada. Evil terrorists, salivating over more 💣, more death.

You are making Britain strong again though, and with his pro putin, pro Chinese talk of trying to weaken the EU is also forcing us into better economics post brexit with our continent.

Trump can't do this all by himself. Military leadership (and regular personnel) *could* just refuse to carry out those orders. Instead they've agreed to "double-tap" a school and a bridge as rescue workers were on site. Will we still stand and cheer for them at various events? I won't. I'm done.

There is only one way to punish Trump & Co for their crimes. Dems commit to must bulldozing the fascist majority off the court if they Win Big. And then install a new majority that overturns the case which put Trump above the law. And, overturns Trumps pardons. Only then will Trump & Co go to jail

Why is the Dept of Defense (sorry “War”) staffed by a bunch of dick-waving ex-frat boys (or wannabes) who had their feelings hurt by someone named Jessica (or maybe Amanda) 20-25 years ago and are still trying to feel “macho” now to make up for it? It’s disgusting and pathetic!

Glad to see you on board with maybe changing the whole phuking narrative on what is sponsoring terrorism. bsky.app/profile/sane...

Calling Iran the worlds greatest state sponsor of terrorism is a big fat lie perpetrated by Israel and the US, with help from the Saudis, the real big three state sponsors of terrorism. youtu.be/5Ulb8-Qox14?...

I feel I am committing murder with my labor & or taxes. I do not & will not be apart of it anymore! trump/ regime spending billions on murder, shoes & lobster... while going over plans of a ballroom. Lock me up but I WILL NOT tolerate contributing to any of the kind, anymore!

Felons, regimes & oligarchy take advantage of INACTIVE people unfortunately. Mass organize Stop going to work Protesting Boycotting EVERYDAY/ NIGHT! Take care of 1 another throughout We The People run this country, they dont. We cannot continue to fuel this regime America! Please share!

Trump's strategy now, and from the beginning of Trump 2.0, is to wreak vengeance against an entire world that he feels never gave him the respect he thinks he deserves. Destroyed the social safety net in US; broke world trade with tariffs; destroyed world economies by attacking Iran.

What Americans won’t understand for at least a decade is how the younger generation globally now has a locked in opinion of America that will carry forward for the rest of their lives. They’ll vote for change eventually without realizing that only matters domestically.

It's not a strategy to just try to coerce people to do what you want in every situation. He has the wherewithal to inflict pain and thus often gets his objective, but if people hold out on principle or b/c he has left them no alternative, he folds every time as he has no plan beyond escalation.

And its citizens stand by and do nothing! It’s just as bad if you ask me. It’s beyond annoyance, people are going to die around the globe because of the oil shortage (and soon a fertilizer shortage). Shut the country down! No more polite protests that can be easily ignored, you have to do more!
