“So we still get paid and we don’t have to do anything? That’s amazing! Haha, but why do I have to face the wall for this part?”

Why would I fight? I'll just dodge the draft and fasttrack my presidential campaign.

My platform is ABWA: America Becomes West Again. Everyone does horses, cowboy hats, and guns again. You wanna travel further than 3 towns over? Train.

A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site...NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

How the F*** can anyone use these two lines in a single paragraph. Absurdity here is comical

War is Peace. Freedom is slavery.
And now for your Five Minute Hate.

May the US Empire crumble to dust, its only vestiges a dark stain on human existence for future historians to look on with disgust.

Please tell me none of these bombs were nukes...

Fucking amazing.

PNAC gets its way in the end, despite at least 40% of Trump's rise to political prominence being due to him being one of the few Republicans to criticize... you know, all the pointless meddling and wars in the ME.

... And Trump is almost single handedly responsible for all of this.

He tore up the nuke deal Obama made. He massively mismanaged every element of the Israeli/Palestine situation. Fucking stepson Kushner's gonna figure it out, don't worry.

Oh yeah lets piss off everyone and move the embassy to Jerusalem.

Beyond contemptible.

The man is a demon.

Kefka?

Is Trump Kefka, or is that an insult to Kefka?

Fucking childish demon clown that just wants to blow up the whole world so he can feel special.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Trump is not single handedly responsible for jack shit. Get the fick outta here with this great man theory nonsense. Almost every single democrat has been in lock step supporting this shit.

[–] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 2 weeks ago

Hear hear. Great man theory is absurd. If Kamala was at the helm I guarantee it wouldn't be any different, only libs wouldn't protest because slay kween we came we saw he died

It is the superstructure, it is the machine of capitalism that needs to feed. Watch oil futures on Monday and remind me who is the greatest producer of crude and LNG today?

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 70 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing says now is the time for peace like dropping bombs on people, amirite?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

This statement from Trump is unsurprisingly disinformation. Most people interpret "nuclear sites" as nuclear bombs instead of completely legal power stations for civilian infrastructure.

Please don't recite this disinformation uncritically. That's just recycling propaganda.

Instead it's worth emphasizing that the zio regime actually has rogue nukes and is using them to threaten the planet with a nuclear holocaust. That's the actual problem.

The worst part is, international laws and conventions are basically means nothing at this point. US actions simply incentivizes more countries to get mass-destruction weapons.

  • Does US call you as 51. state? Get a nuke.
  • Does US want to invade your island? Get a nuke.
  • Does US want to airstrike your country? Get a nuke.
  • Does US government officials breach your constitutional rights? Maybe consider owning a mini-nuke.

Thanks to these maniacs, Kim Jong Un now seems to be wisest person on the earth...

Hopefully Iran keeps to its promise to bomb every US military installation in the Middle East if the US intervened.

What an absolute joke.

I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. "This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!"

peck peck peck "B-O-M-B-S"

Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. "Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs."

Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

Then ends it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

It's such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he's keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

Absolutely deranged.

I hope that Iran will make Project 2025's backers find out. Our bastard leadership think there are no consequences for doing evil and stupid things, and are in severe need of an attitude readjustment.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 weeks ago (8 children)

Iran would be perfectly within their rights to assassinate various US government officials. After all, that's exactly what the US and Israel have been doing in Iran.

I know you meant that this could escalate to a long war that your child may eventually be drafted into, but my initial mental image was a battalion of toddlers each carrying a Fisher Price branded "Baby's First Assault Rifle".

We've launched an unprovoked and unwarranted attack Upon A Sovereign Nation. Now's the Time For Peace. It's an amazing sentiment. It's like a school bullies who hits you and then says you can't hit me back.
