As an American; good. It's laughable how bloated and useless our military is. Spending billions and billions developing weapons to fight wars in the old way when Ukraine already proved that shit won't work anymore.
Nobody asked for this, nobody wants it.
oh, we both know who asked for it, money men-
Sorry actually, they aren't fans of it either, death merchants and arms dealers are the ones who asked for this to happen.
The US never saw so much middle fingers in their history.
the world is healing
Thank Trump?
He puts an ugly face a dumb head atop the empire and war crimes we always had going on.
NATO pls help
We (citizens of other NATO countries) are about to get drafted into this bullshit aren't we?
No, because our country leaders are actually intelligent. Edit: In comparison to Trump
Extremely debatable, actually a big fucking lie.
*in comparison to Trump
Still debatable when a good chunk of this idiots got chicken out by Trump tariffs instead of standing their ground like China/Brazil did.
International politics ain't that easy.
~~Many people in Europe still admire Trump. IIRC Trump has higher support in the EU, than in the US.~~
In my country (Poland) directly fighting against the US is political suicide.
Edit: I were wrong, Trump approval rate in the EU is around 20%, compared to 30-40% in the US.
Still, international politics isn't quite as easy as people make it to be.
In my country (Poland) directly fighting against the US is political suicide.
Yes but that is regardless of government in Poland, and regardless of government in USA.
Many people in Europe still admire Trump. IIRC Trump has higher support in the EU, than in the US.
So the leaders are more intelligent than Trump but some people are really dumb holy fuck.
No, we don't. Maybe in Poland or Hungary it's different. After all who voted Orban would also vote Trump
It’s actually looking like Trump might have burned a few bridges and the adults in other countries are finally in a position of power.
Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy
Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations
Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house
Commits uncountable war crimes
Still loses in just 3 weeks
It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can't even do imperialist forever wars now.
The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there's nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of ~~humiliation~~ hallucination for the USA
Vietnam, anyone?
A trillion a year, whole economy based on neverending warfare and that's the best they can do?
That's just it, it's not.
It's a whole economy based on the threat of neverending warfare.
An actual war, where they aren't just stomping on something from a great height, that is short term benefit compared to selling them the re-up every cycle, "just in case"
Military keeping up with the Joneses.
Lol
Fuck 'em. Trump has lived his entire existence on bail outs. Most US (younger) citizens also feel like the US need to be allowed to struggle to allow a reset from the two only political options to something that is a voice and choice.
Missing from the meme is DJT asking Dada Xi for help.
I'm getting second hand embarrassment watching him beg Xi to fix his mess.
Wait he begged Xi? Why? Might as well beg Iran for help in invading Iran.
No clue lol, China gets safe passage through Hormuz anyways due to being an ally of Iran.
We had to wait a few months for Iraq to turn into a disaster. Trump is the fastest war president ever.
They've made some incredibly and impressively stupid strategic errors even leaving aside poor preparation and the stupidity of attacking iran. That's what happens when you put bootlickers in charge.
Reality hits you hard bro, the time and place you’ll never know
Nobody in America but Trump wanted this bs "war"
...but Netanyahu did
The US has wanted this war since 1979. The neocons in particular have been working towards it since Sept. 2001.
📺 General Wesley Clark "We're going to take-out 7 countries in 5 years."
“I just got this down from upstairs,” meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office […] “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off [with] Iran.”
Graham, Bolton, and plenty of other ghouls have been craving this war for decades. They're all jizzing themselves live on cable right now.
Oh honey, have you met any Americans before?
What did I miss? What did they do now?
US Empire is doing very poorly at accomplishing their goals in Iran, while Iran has been dealing serious damage to US Imperial infrastructure in the Middle East.
They had goals besides" big boom makes me big man" ?
Regime change was a big one, but that can't work without boots on the ground at a minimum.
Mfw the Iranian people in fact dont really like being bombed.
If they do boots on the ground it'll be the stupidest thing imaginable as well, Afghanistan on steroids.
Yep, it will backfire tremendously, but it's the only path that the US Empire can take to actually achieve their goals. Continuing the bombing campaign as it is results in Iran continuing to eliminate all US Imperial infrastructure in the region, until the US Empire pulls out willingly and eliminates sanctions. Putting boots on the ground will result in long-term war with massive resistance at home, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and as you said, Afghanistan on steroids.
The only sensible move for the US Empire is to pull out of the Middle East and erase sanctions before it traps itself in a quagmire, but we all know they will never do the sensible thing.
Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.
Made me laugh
Americans let one man bring them down because he fooled them into thinking he was the american dream.
You will believe that a man born into wealth can become even richer.
Trump just didn't magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that's the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he'll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.
He's the embodiment of our country's greed, ignorance, and desire for power made manifest. A Beelzebub of our own making.
