We have nukes. Trump is desperate for ANYTHING to make his mark. Being the first president since Truman to deploy one would be something I could see him doing.
He's definitely the sort of guy who would nuke the world just to stay out of prison.
He is the antichrist. He would turn the world to glass just so nothing could ever enjoy anything ever again.
"If I can't live, nothing can"
But somehow, a large bloc of voters thought a woman of color in a powerauit with a funny laugh was worse, and they decided to sit out 2024. Good job guys! You saved gaza! Gonna save iran and cuba next, right after the primaries and midterms.
So is the military going to refuse "illegal orders" when he orders them to fire nukes?
Also if he does use nukes against Iran then Russia would definitely start using them against Ukraine. It will become a free for all.
Why not 20 billion times harder?
I am not used to Trump using small numbers
One million billion times! So much harder than any other response in the history of responses! No one responds as hard as Trump!
He's not hard. The girl bit the shirt out of his little Johnny, remember?
Yo! It is the peace president again
He should probably order up 20 more Nobel Peace Prizes for himself.
Nobel? Pffffftttttt!!!! FIFA. The FIFA Peace Prize is where it’s at!
I'm starting to think the FIFA peace prize isn't the honourable institution it's been marketed as ..
Today, I am gay. Today, I am a migrant worker. Today, I am Nobel.
I heard they are letting China and Japan through.
It's almost like if you make deals and then honor those agreements, that people stay amicable.
Iran said they would allow ships from any country that expels US and Israel diplomats to go through.
Th pentagon pizza meter is spiking
It kinda makes you wonder why the fuck they don't just put a big freezer of quick stuff in their cafeteria and just call in kitchen people when this sort of thing happens. They can just restock after the fact instead of risking an obvious indicator of upcoming insanity. Does OMB and DoD not know about the pizza index?
As long as it doesnt pass its Hold Time for food safety, and the walk on cooler/freezer is below the foodservice temps, it can be re-served the next day. Probably at a discount or even with a note about messing with the pizza index. As the Index has become more common its more important to have fake days to send (reddit) into a frenzy and begin "predicting an imminent action".
Reddit "predicted" strikes on Iran "totally this weekend" like 2 weeks before it happened based solely on this index. It has value for ongoing operations since staff will do OT for weeks at a time for it, but intermittent spikes while in a ramp up to war aren't gonna be the smoking gun they want it to be.
But also barring this, it'll be something else like a DC-NoVA traffic meter, or a parking lot check
500% spike at Papa Johns holy.

Actually that tracks as the nazi's pizza of choice.
What a surprise. The rapist pedophile only understands force and what he wants...
"Our next attack will be bigly and covfefe, you just wait!"
Iran hit just a few tankers and the insurers and underwriters immediately cut off coverage for the ships. The ships aren't sailing cause no one will sail without insurance.
Some may want to sail, but many ports will not let a ship dock that doesn't have insurance.
The thing about going all in from the start every time is that you have no means to escalate. All threats become obvious bluffs
You're all out of inches chief you cant go any deeper without ending the world
We all know that Trump loves knee jerk reactions with horrible consequences...
“If you do this then we will keep doing exactly what we are currently doing, but if you stop and work with us on this then we promise to keep doing what we are currently doing.”
A masterclass in negotiating and de-escalating. We’re not living in a farce.
Interesting post above this has trump saying war in Iran is over
If Iran can provoke Trump to put boots on the ground, Iran has practically won.
20 times harder
What are you? 5?
You're gonna be fucked 20x harder in The Hage
At this point Netanyahu and Trump should both be wanted criminals around the world, along with their military leaders for crimes against humanity.
One of them already is
It IS blocked. Trump?
Everyone knows Trump and mathematics are not mixing well. So, it doesn't mean shit coming from Trump's mouth.
If blocked? The Hormuz strait is blocked. So, how about actions followng your words?
Sounds like a rapist.
