    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

    Please tell me none of these bombs were nukes…

    Fucking amazing.

    PNAC gets its way in the end, despite at least 40% of Trump’s rise to political prominence being due to him being one of the few Republicans to criticize… you know, all the pointless meddling and wars in the ME.

    … And Trump is almost single handedly responsible for all of this.

    He tore up the nuke deal Obama made. He massively mismanaged every element of the Israeli/Palestine situation. Fucking stepson Kushner’s gonna figure it out, don’t worry.

    Oh yeah lets piss off everyone and move the embassy to Jerusalem.

    Beyond contemptible.

    The man is a demon.

    Kefka?

    Is Trump Kefka, or is that an insult to Kefka?

    Fucking childish demon clown that just wants to blow up the whole world so he can feel special.

      Trump is not single handedly responsible for jack shit. Get the fick outta here with this great man theory nonsense. Almost every single democrat has been in lock step supporting this shit.

        There’s a reason I said almost singlehandedly.

        Would you prefer ‘played a pivotal role’?

        Yes, a lot of Democrats went along with the revocation of the agreement, and then failed to get a new agreement in place during the Biden admin, after Trump and the Reps also failed to get a new deal in Trump’s first term, despite that being one of Trump’s campaign promises.

        But Trump, as the head of state, signed an executive memorandum that cancelled it.

        Which is a thing that a US President can actually do unilaterally, whereas drafting or accepting a new deal, an international treaty, has to go through Congress.

        Its… kind of a massive flaw in the US Consitutional framework, that a President effectively has an incredible veto power when it comes to international agreements.

        https://www.yalelawjournal.org/forum/presidential-power-to-terminate-international-agreements

        Could/Should the Dems have reformed this, threw a massive shit fit about this?

        Absolutely yes.

        But in this particular instance… the whole scenario really actually does hinge on the President being singly able to do something extreme, with no real, effective, balanced check on that power.

        I do not need to invoke or subscribe to Great Man Theory to point all this out.

        Trump is a symptom of many greater, unchecked sicknesses and decay and corruption in American politics and society… he is simply the fraudulent idiot man-child r*pist that the masses of frustrated, hateful, intolerant, anti-intellectual bigots projected their yearning for spite and revenge onto, and empowered.

          While the masses that supported the regime change in Libya that Obama and Hillary were pushing with straight up KKK level propaganda (“Gaddafi handing out viagra for mass rapes” + “Gaddafi recruiting mercenaries from sub-Saharan Africa” = real migrant workers from Chad were getting hanged from bridges by the “rebels for democracy”) and is currently a slave market are what? Unfrustrated, tolerant, intellectual, classy liberals?

          The entire US middle class on both sides turns to a cheerleader for the military industrial complex with only slightly different narratives to support it each time. The presidents are puppets of economic forces, snap out of it.

        Hear hear. Great man theory is absurd. If Kamala was at the helm I guarantee it wouldn’t be any different, only libs wouldn’t protest because slay kween we came we saw he died

        It is the superstructure, it is the machine of capitalism that needs to feed. Watch oil futures on Monday and remind me who is the greatest producer of crude and LNG today?
