    I thought the super advanced American military had completely destroyed the formerly modern Iranian military?

    I thought he had already won and didn’t need the UK’s aircraft carriers.

      Even if you ignore all of the ethical concerns with this war, there’s no benefit for any other nation. Hell, the only benefit for the US is as a distraction and it’s now become too distracting.

      Continuing the war causes oil prices to increase and also affects international trade in general. Why would I as a leader of a European nation want this situation to continue?

      I can see how Trump managed to bankrupt a casino now.

      You don’t get it I think. He’s playing 5d chess. But here’s the plan in full.

      1. Insult allies and friends.

      2. ???

      3. Win.

        He’s not even playing 2D chess.

        Cheese is… Chess is… everybody knows and people always tell me you know how cheese is woke. The bigly strong King moves once but the queen, I always swap them, people just let you do it, I swap the queen. My king goes anywhere. It’s the best.

    With not even a concept of a plan, Trump shits his pants and then asks others to come clean his pants.

    The US lifted oil sanctions on Russia. They aren’t being an ally to us, and we have no reason to send our people and resources to deal with their nonsense. Focus on phasing out fossil fuels as soon as possible instead. (This should have been done decades ago, but the second best time is now.)

    This is so insanely stupid. Iran lets out some ships from countries like China and India, which made deals with Iran. So other countries can either transport cargo on those ships or make a deal themself. No reason to risk a warship, which could be used against Russia and valuable air defense needed in Ukraine.

    He wants to go from it being “definitely not a war” to “definitely not a world war” because he and his clown car administration fucked around and are now in the process of finding out.

    “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.”

    So where are these drone and missiles coming from if it’s all 100% destroyed?

      Wait, the US Navy needs help defending 2 shipping lanes from an enemy with 100% destroyed military capabilities? Is that it?
