Graham, Bolton, and plenty of other ghouls have been craving this war for decades. They're all jizzing themselves live on cable right now.

They've made some incredibly and impressively stupid strategic errors even leaving aside poor preparation and the stupidity of attacking iran. That's what happens when you put bootlickers in charge.

We had to wait a few months for Iraq to turn into a disaster. Trump is the fastest war president ever.

Fuck 'em. Trump has lived his entire existence on bail outs. Most US (younger) citizens also feel like the US need to be allowed to struggle to allow a reset from the two only political options to something that is a voice and choice.

Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy

Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations

Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house

Commits uncountable war crimes

Still loses in just 3 weeks

It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can't even do imperialist forever wars now.

The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there's nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of humiliation hallucination for the USA

Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.

Trump just didn't magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that's the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he'll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.

The US has wanted this war since 1979. The neocons in particular have been working towards it since Sept. 2001.

📺 General Wesley Clark "We're going to take-out 7 countries in 5 years."

“I just got this down from upstairs,” meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office […] “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off [with] Iran.”

Wait he begged Xi? Why? Might as well beg Iran for help in invading Iran.

It’s actually looking like Trump might have burned a few bridges and the adults in other countries are finally in a position of power.

That's just it, it's not.

It's a whole economy based on the threat of neverending warfare.

An actual war, where they aren't just stomping on something from a great height, that is short term benefit compared to selling them the re-up every cycle, "just in case"

Military keeping up with the Joneses.

He's the embodiment of our country's greed, ignorance, and desire for power made manifest. A Beelzebub of our own making.

Still debatable when a good chunk of this idiots got chicken out by Trump tariffs instead of standing their ground like China/Brazil did.

Many people in Europe still admire Trump. IIRC Trump has higher support in the EU, than in the US.

So the leaders are more intelligent than Trump but some people are really dumb holy fuck.

As an American; good. It's laughable how bloated and useless our military is. Spending billions and billions developing weapons to fight wars in the old way when Ukraine already proved that shit won't work anymore.

Nobody asked for this, nobody wants it.

oh, we both know who asked for it, money men-

Sorry actually, they aren't fans of it either, death merchants and arms dealers are the ones who asked for this to happen.

In my country (Poland) directly fighting against the US is political suicide.

Yes but that is regardless of government in Poland, and regardless of government in USA.
