All those Iranian citizens who think the U.S. is doing this for them... They're about to find out the hard way what putting your trust in the U.S. is like, let alone Trump. You would think they'd learn from the last time.

I'm not saying this isn't a sign of something, but Surf and Turf nights are fairly common at overseas bases. Sometimes once a week.
EDIT: Pie is pretty much nightly anywhere with real kitchen.
Isn't this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.

i searched for the username; the tweet is from ~42 hours prior to this lemmy post.
@ickplant Putting soldiers in harms way to distract from the epstein files should get the fat fuck the death sentence.
Pedos or not there is no way the USA would stay out of waging new wars either way, it's literally its bread and butter and can't exist without it. The machine is getting itchy, it needs blood, that simple.
Nixon and Reagan both conspired with hostile foreign governments to win elections and we let both of those guys off the hook. Why would this be different?
Because we've had enough? Because we've learned our lesson?
Or maybe we haven't?

I've been saying that cutting USAID and the nearly million deaths that followed in the subsequent months as a direct result of cutting a program that as much as a couple of his planned ballrooms, should get him hanged slowly at the hague.
Out of everything he's done, this along with rolling back environmental protections will have caused the most harm and suffering to humanity and these are the things getting the least attention.
Imagine having the power to ruin the lives of countless millions of living souls and doing it for no other reason than to prove how "not woke" you are and to add another several cents per share to your donor's investments.
💯
But instead it will probably get him more adoration from his base.
Who am I kidding? It’s not probably, it’s definitely.

My dad who served in Vietnam looked at this tweet and went silent. My mom is now really upset. I am so tired.
"Honey, flowers? They're lovely! Why do you bring me flowers, you never bring me flowers!"
They're gonna go kill brown people to get the focus off of the richest ruling elite in the world (including their own commander in chief) trafficking, raping, and murdering children.
And it won't even work
Seriously? It'll definitely work for more people than one dares to believe. It's not about it working in the way you mean on us, the people that nothing will work on, it's about everyone else. And for us that have functional empathy, conscience, intelligence etc. it will work in another way, we see the horrors about to happen. We see the people it's going to happen to as actual people and anyone can only handle so much. It's the classic "do or confess bad thing to make other bad thing seem less relevant", and that works on everyone, just in different ways.
I can absolutely see even here on lemmy being filled with news about this and less about what they're doing this to take attention away from. It'll work on me, no matter how much I don't want it to, because I feel for the people who will suffer and die from this. And It'll work on others in other ways.

Has there been at least a piss weak justification for this new war? Or is he still crapping on about Iran developing a nuclear weapon in the next five minutes? At least the last Iraq war had a good foundation of lies leading up to it.
Fighting Israel's wars is the justification
The lies for Iraq were no better. Everyone knew that it was Bush jr wanting to finish Daddy's war. He had been making noises about it since day one January 20 2001.
It was an easier sell because of 9/11.
No doubt. Most of the world knew they were talking shit about Iraq, but they at least tried for a while and got their stupid Coalition together for the invasion. In the current case with Iran it looks like they're not even trying that.
It was an easier sell because of 9/11.
Not that that made any fucking sense either, mind you.
"We must go after the Afghani terrorists by (checks notes) attacking Iraq!"

The NY Times says Iran may be offering up a few leaders to be the next Delcy.
Does it count as stopping the most wars when you started them all?
Gotta replenish if he wants more wars to stop. Record breaker!

No foreign wars #2.
Pedophilic Boogaloo
Olympics end today so it's showtime for the military industrial complex.
I had to check the date. It's been 4 years since the end of the Beijing winter Olympic, also known as the start of Russia's 3 day special military operation.
And they would've taken Kiev too if it weren't for those meddling kids!
Circus is over
