And that’s basically it!
He seems to have learned about his wrong ways in the past. And that's probably why he wants to attack Cuba next (attack militarily, economically it's under attack for 60 years)
-> start a war with Iran for no reason
-> don't consult any allies apart from Israel
-> "EU and NATO assistance unnecessary"
-> turns out Iran is prepared and responds
-> "if NATO doesn't help, the alliance is over"

Man I sometimes have dreams that everyone suddenly realizes Trump is senile, is removed from office, the US apologizes for what he's done, pays everything back, presses undo on everything.
Its not too late. Undo America!
senile
fun fact: The word "senate" goes back to the same origin than the world "senile": Both go back to latin "senex" meaning old man.
Make American great again again
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”
“We have a lot of oil,” said Trump. “We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double, at least double. Now I think it’s much higher than that. But we do it. It’s almost like we do it for habit, but we also do it for some very good allies that we have in the Middle East.”
That does not at all sound like a "probably we shouldn't be there" statement. It reads more like "some say we shouldn't but we do it anyways because ..."
Like he outright states he's doing it for Israel and because Israel asked him to and somehow convinced him. He's not backing down. That's not what he's saying there.
I also read it about being a reframing as being a helpful friend and claiming not to have any self-interest
Though it does give him an out to move the troops to Cuba at his whims.
...somehow?..like four-decade-honeypot somehow?..
It makes it sound like we shouldn't be there waring. He means we shouldn't be there as an ally...at all..over the past decades from the context of the whole statement.
He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online:
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”
It's Iran's terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked...
But I really think he's getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.
If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.
And he threatened NATO, who by all his accounts "stood back from the front lines" When Article 5 was called during the bullshit second Gulf War. And now he DEMANDS they help. Sure buddy.
I just love the quote:
So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding...
He starts with needing help, starts to say he just really wants it, then pivota to demanding it.
The fact that he went thru those steps shows how much pressure he's facing.
His two biggest wings of influence has been Israel and American christo-fascists, if they start pulling him in opposite ways, he can't hold onto both.
He's fucked, but so are the rest of us by extension. Hopefully just till midterms at least.
The thing is, as a foreigner, and speaking bluntly, this is on the entire American population, voting him in once was one thing, but not dealing with Jan 6 harshly under Bidens administration did nothing more than encourage them and their billionaire backers. IF there's no false flag operation to cancel the midterms and IF presidential elections are held and the democrats get into power, you lot are going to have to overhaul your entire system to ensure another Trump doesn't happen. And honestly speaking I can't realistically see that happening.
Man I am so fucking ready for the Nationalist Christians to become huge fucking pariahs as a direct result of all of the idiocy that they’ve been pushing
“Sorry, your son died in this war. We shouldn’t even have been there.”
And daughter.
Epstein distraction turned into another mid term issue and no one stopped paying attention to the Epstein issue. Can't keep winning
Bloomberg has regular interviews with analysts for giant investment firms. They had one who specializes in government debt. She said she talks to the people who work the front office for politicians. The Iran war and affordability come up regularly but the number one question they get is about the Epstein files.
Watch him claim later on that he doesn't know why they're in Iran because he never gave the orders to do that. It must have been Hegseth.
Lmao, he's going to campaign on stopping the war in Iran, isn't he?
Jesus, you've seen beyond the veil and can actually think like him! I could see him doing that like tomorrow.
We ~~SHOULD~~ ~~SHOULD NOT~~ ~~SHOULD~~ ~~SHOULD NOT~~ ~~SHOULD~~ SHOULD NOT be at War!
-Free Thinking Republicans who Voted for Trump for Peace!
They're MAGAs, they are always pro-war, no matter they claim.
This reveals how piss poor the planning was the lack of concern for the dead and wounded. Life is cheap under the MAGA fucks.
Crazy reality when the bare minimum ideal to aim for is not electing senile pedophiles to the most influential position on the planet Earth.
And we miss.
Twice
Explain to me who can possibly be stunned at this point that Donald Trump's a braindead moron who has no idea what's going on.
It's almost like he only joined in on the war because Israel was instructing him or something.
So, like, at what point does the rest of the world just declare war on us for the cabinet not using the 25th?
When one of their own shillionaires gets killed by Trump's stupidity.
Oh my god… he is so stupid and worthless.
Senile old pedo rapist "thinks" out loud...
We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double
TIL we produce 4x the amount of oil as any other country.
Every so often the truth comes out and it's shocking AF when it comes from there.
The good news is we already won! It's over! Trump told me so last week.
I dislike hom as much as the next guy but what he meant is very clearly not what the article implies. Baitclick
Reading the article, it sounds to me exactly as the headline implies. So tell me, what did he actually mean then?
we've always been at ear with Iran. It is joe bidens fault for not ending the war which I will end soon
Senile
