He starts a war, tanks the global economy, and it’s willing to leave the global economy in taters like a little bitch.

MAGA in a nutshell.

    This kinda seems like the mutterings of a crazy person.

    He hasn’t had a plan since day one and as each moment passes he has a different thought about how he might possibly extricate himself from the mess he’s created.

    Later today he will threaten to bomb their schools, then the military will keep preparing for boots on the ground, then he will tweet about how they’ve already destroyed Iran’s leadership, then he will say he’s going to tariff allies who aren’t helping, then he will say the strait is open, then he will say high fuel prices are really great for American fuel suppliers.

    So, as widely predicted, the “strategy” is to give up, declare victory and walk away, leaving things worse in every way than they were before the war.

    And Trump will continue to whine about other countries not paying for the war that they had no role in starting.

      I’m still as nervous as a piglet at a German buffet. He legitimately has the keys to the nukes.

      It doesn’t matter if he’s bitching out. They now KNOW he’s full of shit and they have the upper hand. It’s too late. They’ve already demanded as much.

      Speedrunning “American intervention in the middle east” scenario.

      Europe thanks the USA for messing up our neighborhood ONCE AGAIN. With friends like these…

    Yes this is epic levels of stupid, but is there a better outcome we could hope for given he’s dumb as shit? I can’t think of anything productive he’d be able to do unless the goal is to further destabilize the Middle East/start an actual war.

      Probably not.

      I had “continues to escalate until nukes” on my bingo card, I hadn’t thought much of “gets bored and leaves broken toy on the floor”.

        Yep, I think nukes are going to happen. I think that’s somehow the plan. Open up that avenue. Because then suddenly Russia can use them in Ukraine, Israel can use them against everyone, and the rest of the world crumble beneath the power of the nuclear states.

        Call me cynical but this has been on my bingo card for decades and I think before all is said and done nukes are gonna fly.

        Not gonna happen. He bloodied their noses and they’re not going to back down. They said as much, and his bitch ass can’t really do much about it except global thermonuclear war

          While that may be true there’s always the possibility that Trump just abandoned the middle east in its entirety rather than deal with this. Basically doing to everyone there what he did to the Kurds.

    Gotta admit if i was the Iranian military i would be celebrating, not only has he screwed the pooch across the region by giving them an excuse to bomb multiple targets they have always wanted to. He has also given a firm timeline for when the US will fuck off - thats great for morale
