    No kidding, my entire life all I’ve seen is republican presidents take us into stupid ass wars.

    Why does anybody believe any of these people when they say they want to keep us out of wars?

    They've dragged the US government into 38 trillion dollars in dept dropping nearly a trillion dollars a year into the military industrial complex without an ability to pass an audit. Soon the largest expenditure in the US federal discretionary budget will be paying interest on on debts taken to feed that beast. But forgiving student loans and providing healthcare... we can't afford that.

    When everything is for show, you don’t even have to half-ass it. Some bombs were dropped, some folks died, he got to salute coffins for the camera after looking tough. Mission Accomplished, what’s next?

    The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale -- then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. 'Reality control', they called it: in Newspeak, 'doublethink'

    He doesn't lie, he lives in a narcissistic delusion. With his brain melted, he's actually terrible at lying... Watch him talk about the Epstein files, he goes stiff like he forgets how to move his body

    Someone has had a whinge to him about share prices.

    Things are just getting started. He destabilised the region, and Iran doesn't have any reason to discipline tinge aggression now.

    They can destroy a passing ship every few weeks with a $20k drone while the US spends 100s of millions a day just to be present.

    Nah man, Putin is Trump's hero. Watch us take some territory and refuse to give it up through multiple cease fires. Not only did he not stop the war in Ukraine, he turned America into fucking russia. Fucking dumb timeline

    I don't talk to my friends this casually.

    If I said "very complete, pretty much" I'm pretty sure they'd bring me to the hospital for a stroke.

    Why wouldn't he? Might makes right in his mind, and he is happy to use the unbridled power to reshape the world.

    you can start a war on your own, but pretty sure both sides have to agree to end a war.

    I guess one of the advantages of having literally zero plans other then "kill the current bad guy" is that you can just stop whenever you want and declare victory.

    "We've murdered enough people to distract you from the Epstein files for a few months."

    Never mind about that, he changed his mind again.

    After comments that seemed to suggest President Trump was looking towards an exit from his war with Iran, Trump said in a speech to Republican lawmakers in Florida that “we have won in many ways, but not enough. We go forward more determined than ever to achieve ultimate victory that will end this long-running danger once and for all.”

    The enemy cannot anticipate your actions if you have no plan! No doubt Sun Tzu would have said something like that if he were American.

    With their nuclear capability ‘completely obliterated’ for the second time this year, Iran is now three weeks away from a bomb. Whew, world saved /s.

    On the other hand, we can start talking about Trump-Epstein again - especially since the dow is well under 50k.

    PERFECT, now onto the Epstein files and punishments

    So what did we accomplish?

    …What did we go in to accomplish, for that matter?

    I'm not talking about distractions, that's fine to discuss, but as far as I'm aware, I've not heard any justification for why we went in and that we've reached any objectives.

    The new guy elected is somehow even more of a hardliner and I've read he definitely wants nukes. So we got iran to commit to nukes probably. Plus, we saw how well America has adapted to drone warfare. So, yay? What's a couple dozen billion dollars to military industry friends, some combat experience, some dead americans, and destabilizing the world economy?

    This man has the attention span of an ADHD cocker spaniel. There's no way in hell he will continue caring about this for more than a couple of weeks.

    He's trying to apply "Art of the Deal" logic to geopolitics. "Just a little bomb-bomb. Just a little pressure on the Muslim brown people. Then we'll stop and they'll give us what we want. That's how business works. I'm the greatest businessman I've ever known, some people say." People dying for generations to come is just part of the game for these pedophilic narcissist fucktards.

    Well fuck. I was worried it was going to drag out for far too fucking long, but now that the orange turd has said it's over I'm absolutely certain it's going to drag out for far too fucking long.
