    What an absolute joke.

    I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. “This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!”

    peck peck peck “B-O-M-B-S”

    Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. “Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs.”

    Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

    Then ends it with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

    It’s such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he’s keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

    Absolutely deranged.

    A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site…NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

    How the F*** can anyone use these two lines in a single paragraph. Absurdity here is comical

    Little baby Trump must have really had some diaper rash from all of the taco memes after he mentioned the two-week window.

    Any American blood spilled by Iran if/when they retaliate will be on Trump’s hands.

    Just going add early now since no one is talking about it yet, this is why nuclear isn’t the way over renewables. Because as soon as any country wants a domestic nuclear energy program, the US will have a freebie wildcard to bomb them.

    How many bombs did he drop on Russia? Because he said he would end the war against Ukraine.

    This feels a lot like start of a WW3 for the third time in past few years.

    First it was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel Hamas conflict, now its this.

      WW2 didn’t start overnight. There was a series of military actions that went unchallenged. That only made the belligerents bolder.

        Indeed. WW2 was a massive slow-walk into the full war. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.

        At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

    Any member of the US army is a criminal, you are not defending your nation, you are attacking another one.

    He made a typo. It should read “there is not another military in the world that would have done this”

    When Bush got the US into a war in the middle east, he at least did it after a terrorist attack on the US (which had nothing to do with Iraq, but he was able to fudge that part), and as a result of the stupidity of Americans, he had a 60+% approval rating at the time.

    Trump didn’t even manage a false flag or anything, as a result, a lot of conservatives are pissed off about this. Probably not enough to crack the MAGA coalition, but every little bit chipped away from it helps. With margins in the senate and house so close, it’s actually possible that he could be stopped by congress and the US doesn’t become a failed state, instead merely becoming an illiberal democracy.

    But, what I wonder is if this will actually win him any converts from the Democratic side. I bet there are ultra pro-Israel people who were formerly Democrats who actually think this is a good idea, and will now start supporting Trump. Still, I think he’s going to lose 90 MAGAs for every 10 Democrats he gains.
