this very volatile section of the world
WHO MADE IT VOLATILE MOTHER FUCKER?
this graph uses simpson family colors
They’re all either Barge or Mart
He really likes that 20% number.
he should charge 47% to trigger the libs
Just posting things he wishes were true and pretending they’re real. Reality is dead in America.
We’re reaching levels of corncobbedness previously thought unimaginable
The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,”
You heard him, American men
The US no longer exists and you’re all T-GOTHS now, get your fishnets and black lipstick ready
me realizing I got a five year head start on everyoneExcellent!!
if he was really serious he would rename it the American Freedom Strait
Nuking the petrodollar
All without a properly prepared back up plan? If they did this 10 years from now after forcing Venezuela to send them all their oil all for war, then it might make some sense. But this? I hope they collapse, but given how the global community does not care, I’m not sure.
It’s really a huge series of blunders.
He’s going to rename it the Strait of America
Go, take that to Polymarket. Come back when youre rich enough to sink an aircraft carrier.
Of Israel*
What even is the margin on sailing an oil tanker? 20% couldn’t possibly be leaving any meat on the bone for the carrier can it?
Like tariffs, it won’t affect the profit margin in the long term. It’ll just be a tax paid by the end user.
Iran sinks an aircraft carrier when?
It’s the only way he’ll learn
He ain’t learning shit, he’ll just sink deeper into delusion
The only way out of this is if Iran gets him so mad that he gets a heart attack or if his generals or somebody in a three letter agency get so fed up they coup him. Given the bloodletting and replacement with loyal stooges at the start of his term, the latter seems a lot less likely.
if that’s gonna happen, it’s likely he just gets impeached. i mean, if the feds hate him that much, so will congress. the gop is gonna take massive losses in the midterm if he can’t get gas prices consistently low. i doubt the dems are gonna try to impeach their favorite scapegoat if they hold both chambers but maybe if the treats get too expensive. also if iran hits him with the heart attack gun it has to be worth it, i.e. vance has to be willing to pull back AFTER trump dies in suspicious circumstances. and if vance is willing to pull back after that, congress probably would be before it gets to that. same goes if the feds hit him but i guess at least then they have access to jd too.
Never is the question asked, is our president learning?
Honestly, I think they would try to pretend its The Lusitania or The Maine and use it to justify a ground invasion.
They can not fathom such a hit to their ego. It just won’t register as anything other than wanting vengeance and accusing anything less as treachery.
Ground invasion with what? They already tried to move soldiers into the region and failed.
With +2K sailors downed the seal on american loses would be fully cracked. Heggseth would eagerly start feeding soldiers into a woodchipper to avenge those already killed.
For sure, but i’m not talking about willingness to take losses, but they simply wouldn’t be able to assembly serious ground invasion force.
The entirety of the US military simply does not have the personnel to conduct a ground invasion of Iran and have any chance at success. Casualties are guaranteed to be high. And it would be political suicide at home even more than this has already been
None of that means they won’t do it anyways. My point is they will behave irrationally.
If that happens the one thing he will thing will be “I should have send 2 aircraft carries”
there’s two there now! both the lincoln and the g.h.w. bush
SINK THE BUSH!
remember when the u.s. navy shot down an iranian passenger aircraft when he was president, killing over 100 civilians, and his response was “i’m not an apologize-for-america kind of guy”?
i remember
Same
The tv at the gym was on CNN again, they were interviewing troops on one of the ships out there and they were all laughing and eating ice cream sundaes
Got me so worked up I broke my record on the elliptical by a fairly substantial margin
How long ago was it that the troops were whining and moaning about how the chocolate chip cookies or whatever the fuck ran out? Forget about an actual war, the second the AC breaks they’ll be killing each other for a chance to flee home
“and everyone has to be my friend and no one can say no to being my friend!”
Trump is about to declare that the US nuclear program is strictly for civilian uses.
He’s gonna fatwa Salman Rushdie.
Reminder that the neofascists unironically believe that it’s a virtue of statesmen to actively despise reality.
I don’t think the reverse uno card is going to work.
So how does that even work. You can pay Iran to get through theirs and then also pay the US to get through theirs? If you pay Iran does the US not let you through? If you pay the US does Iran not let you through? We live in such a bizzare time
Yes.
World’s biggest game of red light green light
And the dodgeballs have explosive warheads
You and I must have played different versions of red light green light.
