When are our generals going to revolt? These are not legal orders.

    Remember when the government was shut down and some billionaire friend of Trump stepped in and paid the military? Your generals are not gonna revolt, they're already paid off.

    Why do you expect the military leaders of the most utterly reprehensible empire of our times, which has killed millions, displaced tens of millions and condemned hundreds of millions to poverty within living memory, to have a conscience? These people are gangsers for capitalism, and capitalism has spoken; the law is secondary.

    He has also (today) suggested invading Cuba, he's bombing Nigeria and Somalia, and he hasn't stopped talking about annexing Greenland and Canada. So that's at least 7 countries in his sights.

    The dumb cunt clearly doesnt know about not starting wars on multiple fronts. Historically, it's not a great idea.

    He'll bring peace to the world even if it kills us all. Like some sort of peace maker, if you will.

    What's stopping China from invading Taiwan, now that America has shown the world once again that you can rob another country's resources with impunity if you're a nuclear superpower?

    This was the plan. Donald had been weirdly quiet about China in general and Taiwan in particular.

    He, Xi, and Putin have carved the world up into spheres.

    That's right. Trump gets the Western Hemisphere, Putin Gets Europe and West Asia, and China get the rest of Asia. Africa will be exploited by EVERYBODY.

    It's what I say and will always say until the United States fully reform: Trump is merely showing what America truly is which many people pretend not to be.

    That's "American Yankistani exceptionalism"

    Some unhinged people attack US:

    Their nationality, ethnicity, and religion are now all considered terrorists

    US attacks some country unprovoked:

    The great liberator that can do no wrong.

    He mentioned the Monroe Doctrine during his announcement this morning, and he doesn't know what that is, or who Monroe was, but he has been told enough for him to believe that it means America has the right to control the entire Western Hemisphere.

    I was curious what was actually said by Mexico and here are the quotes:

    Trump hinted at a future conflict with Mexico in particular in an interview with Fox News Saturday morning.

    “Your vice president, JD Vance, said that the message is pretty clear: that drug trafficking must stop. So was this operation a message that you’re sending to Mexico, to Claudia Sheinbaum, the president there?” Fox’s Griff Jenkins asked.

    “Well, it wasn’t meant to be, we’re very friendly with her, she’s a good woman,” Trump began. “But the cartels are running Mexico. She’s not running Mexico.”

    “We could be politically correct and be nice and say, ‘Oh, yes, she is.’ No, no. She’s very, you know, she’s very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. And I’ve asked her numerous times, ‘Would you like us to take out the cartels?’ ... Something is gonna have to be done with Mexico.”

    She’s not running Mexico

    This is the stupidest trope being driven by the Right everywhere, including our own opposition. She has been doing wonderful things for the country.

    I'm just incredibly sad that the moment we actually get a competent president, one who acts on behalf of the people, one with a relevant college education, and the first woman in history to be our president, we won't get the chance to really savor the moment and see her actions through to some permanent change. Everything was going so well, man. I'm growing very resentful of Trump for this. It feels like we're getting our wings clipped fast.
