Nothing says I’m losing, more than bombing civilian infrastructure.

Especially since so far Iran has largely refrained from that…

Like, they do fuck with terrorists, and our current agencies that prevent terrorists attacks are run by fucking idiots.

It’s honestly surprising we haven’t seen an attack, not just on American soil, but someplace trump actually likes but is hard to protect.

Like, he doesn’t give a fuck if Americans suffer and die, but if they flew a plane into Marlago he’d lose his shit and actually negotiate peace.

They should just go ahead and kidnap Bibi’s son, who’s supposedly living it up in Florida.

Lol, I get the sense Netanyahu would be happy if they took him. Heck, Netanyahu would probably like it if they took that Ms. Piggy looking wife of his too.

With a warning beforehand, so no one gets hurt except his ego.

Oof. “Demolishable”, unless you’d rather conversate than converse. lol

Negotiate peace my ass, he’d drop a fucking nuke.

It obviously happens to stop military movements, but so far (so far) with the way the ground war is, it’s just throwing toys. All he’s doing is ensuring fuel prices go up for longer.

which helps RUSSIA because they can sell oil at high cost now, to recover from the war effort.

Yes in general destroying infrastructure does that. But in this particular case, I think the bridge not being finished already achieved that goal. This was just destroying stuff because Americans are being cunts.

“There will be more to come” -Osama Bin Laden after 9/11

Is there a difference here? I mean aesthetically. 9/11 was obviously a result of blowback and Trump is the leader of an entire nation. But just on its face, it’s an attack on civilian infrastructure that killed innocent people.

I’m almost glad we have reached the point in American history that we can clearly just say “yes, we are the terrorists”. The difficult part now is trying to educate the western world to realize that “we always have been”.

Trump is America with the mask off. Don’t believe me? Look at the New York times article still trying to do the old style neocon consent manufacturing to justify it as “a route for weapons”. Meanwhile the president is just saying we’re gonna bomb water infrastructure and “send them back to the stone age”.

It’s interesting to watch the gears of US Imperialism try to run its old methods of justification while our leadership has stopped playing that game.

The west needs to educate itself quickly. This is far more long lasting than Trump. The illusion of America being a “force for good” is gone. Our soft power is destroyed and our military bases are being proven to be a security risk for any nation that houses them. We’ll just take our troops out of the base, let it get bombed, and hide our troops in your civilian hotels.

Every country with an American military base needs its citizens in its streets demanding it’s removal. Your country will quickly become the nearest target for justified return fire as America continues it’s war machine.

It’s like the US war machine just decided it can act like Israel. When the entire reason Israel could “act like Israel” was because it had America protecting its image. Now, we’re just showing people that we just used Israel to do the dirty work we didn’t want to be directly associated with. I guess we gave up on that.

I think Artemis has left LEO by now, and so if so, I think this is the first time since this meme was created that we have humans in a plausible location for this to actually happen. Not exactly, of course, but higher than LEO, which this image is clearly depicting. heh.

First time since 1972, I believe.

Instead of constructing the bridge, they like to destroy it more.

What’s the end game here? Trump plans to keep bombing until Iran dies 180, agrees to give all oil to the USA, the people rejoice and praise Trump for saving them?

Damn, some Putin-level shit.

end game is to continuously keep EPSTEIN files out of the news cycle. plus he had BONDi removed to prevent her from being deposed for the epstein files investigation, he really doesnt want any of it to get into the spotlight.
