@VolgareT @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal yeah and they said no chance, we're not going to be your pawns with no plan to win

@0dCaiman @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal They would've been ask to help collapse Iran. CIA was gathering them as a paramilitary force. If Iran fell they'd definitely breakoff off/out of Iran.

Nate Swanson warned that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and respond to a U.S.-Israeli attack by making it a regional war. He was fired at urging of Laura Loomer. After Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran, the Trump administration claimed there was no way we could have known that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and respond by attacking bases across the region. The irony is that people like Swanson are trying to help the U.S. make smart decisions. Here is Laura defending getting him fired:

@F16RaiderF22 @BRyvkin removing sanctions from Russian oil is pro-Putin

@0dCaiman @BRyvkin Bombing the Russian ally country that supplies drones to Russia is somehow Pro-Putin.

Trump not sending enough direct military aid to Ukraine (Obama sent nothing, despite the Crimean takeover, btw) is bad and probably pro-Putin. Trump selling weapons to the Europeans to transfer to Ukraine is also pro-Putin (but the Europeans continuing to buy Russian hydrocarbons is fine). Trump wanting a higher defense budget is, uh, pro-Putin. And Trump going after Putin ally Iran, which deploys suicide drones against Ukraine, is also somehow pro-Putin. And, as a catch-all, Trump is actually a dictator of convenience (query what a dictatorship of inconvenience is?). I just can’t with these people anymore. They need a couch.

@VolgareT @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal they weren't being asked to do something for their country, they were being asked to do something for Trump and Israel lmao

@0dCaiman @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal We'd been cultivating Kurd support in and for Iran for decades. They'd do anything for their own country. Which they would have if Iran fell. WE sent them back. Kurds are pretty brutal. Things would've def gotten ugly.

@VolgareT @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal sent them back from where...?

@nouvrichblumoon @varadmehta evidence?

@varadmehta Most Amerocans dont think it is a bad idea. That is the false premise they are coping on. They're hoping the middle terms hurt Trump. They've never look past their own arrogance long enough to figure anything out.

It'd be one thing if the US had demanded Europeans join in the attacks. All the US asked instead was that we be allowed to use our own airbases from which our own personnel would conduct attacks. Europe wouldn't be involved at all. Even that was too much. Good luck with that.

@requeproque @LadyBearJones @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo sanctions relief, nice little hormuz tollbooth, and a massive increase in the price of oil lol

@LadyBearJones @0dCaiman @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo I’m not sure I understand – what do you mean “Trump gave them billions”?

How did we get to the point Where so many Americans are rooting against America?

@VolgareT @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal lmao what bro? are you referring to the slapdash attempt to foment an uprising AFTER the war started where the kurds immediately knew had zero chance of working and said no thank you?

@0dCaiman @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal No, he didn't. If he did he wouldn't have sent the Kurds home.

@requeproque @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo you are fake news

@foam_boat @0dCaiman @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo Second order consequences like the leading state sponsor of terrorism developing a nuclear weapon?

@VolgareT @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal he thought the Iranians would just roll over like the Venezuelan regime

@0dCaiman @matthewcoppola @ryangrim @MaxBlumenthal That's retarded. Trump put this mission off for 5-months due to that concern. Rubio has been trying to get him to do this for 5-months.

@requeproque @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo They sponsor terrorism against Israel, not the United States (not since they left Iraq anyways). They will continue to sponsor terrorism just as much after this conflict ends.

@0dCaiman @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo If the biggest state sponsor of terrorism is no longer the biggest sponsor of terrorism, doesn’t that make the world safer?

@SonOfAristotle @stelzner_n1150 you probably think he committed sedition when he made Trump mad lmao

@stelzner_n1150 Newsom will not be the candidate. He is a decoy. It will be Kelly and Slotkin.

The strongest Republican to challenge Newsom in 2028 is DeSantis. He has already defeated him in a debate.

@JeffRiepl @sunnyright that's cool, I'm sure he doesn't feel sorry for himself, but knowing that Hegseth and Trump are corrupt and mentally retarded tells us that they will replace him with sycophants and retards

@sunnyright No sads here. He'll get a fat pension, choice of cushy position at a defense contractor, golf cart in his Florida garage, and enuff suck-up neighbors to call him "general." Even the neighbors who evaded Vietnam will play that game.

Yeah bro that’s how civilian control of the military works. You’re subject to hiring and firing by people who are elected and Senate confirmed.

@requeproque @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo how is the country going to be safer? has he even explained that?

@foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo If it makes the country safer, and it’s good for his legacy, isn’t that a win-win?

@SandraKM123 @cabsav456 why shouldn't they undermine the mentally retarded and deeply corrupt commander in chief?

@cabsav456 Great news. I thought Hegseth did this a long time ago. What took so long? These 'officers' ere trying to unermine the Commander in Chief. Obama satuarated the Pentagon with personnel who would undermine his successors

It’s becoming increasingly clear why the top JAGs were all fired. Hegseth has openly disdained military lawyers for years — calling JAGs “jagoffs” in his book, telling troops in Iraq to ignore their rules of engagement advice, and railing against what he calls “stupid rules” and legal “roadblocks” to winning. He has been explicit about his view: war‑crimes concerns are an obstacle, not a safeguard. He wants “maximum lethality, not tepid legality.” But there is a fine and enormously consequential line between targeting legitimate military infrastructure and committing outright war crimes. Crossing that line is not only immoral but illegal, strategically reckless, and corrosive to U.S. credibility. And with a majority of Americans opposing this war, I don’t see public support materializing for attacks on civilian infrastructure. The Iranian people have already endured decades of hardship under a regime that prioritizes funding terrorism & regional violence over meeting the basic needs of its own citizens. Making civilians pay an even higher price is neither justifiable nor likely to win American backing.

@pmddomingos Americans elected Trump because they thought he made the economy good in his last term and because he promised to lower prices, things he has no control over and can only make worse, not better.

Europeans don't understand that America has been the world's daddy for the last 80 years out of idealism, not self-interest. Americans genuinely believe in defending freedom and democracy, and they elected Trump because they're tired of receiving only hate and contempt in return for their sacrifices.

@requeproque @foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo he thought Iran would just fire a few missiles and look for a quick end to hostilities like they did the previous few times he hit him them. He thought it would be an easy W like Venezuela.

@foam_boat @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo Do you think he’s doing something unpopular because it’s good for his popularity?

@requeproque @ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo he's doing it because he thought it would be an easy win for his "legacy"

@ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo He’s doing something he knew would tank tank his near term popularity, because he believes it will improve America’s situation decades into the future.

@ianbremmer @shaunmmaguire @noonanjo they're right

@shaunmmaguire @noonanjo many americans believe the president cares more about himself than the country.

@protomemetic @avidseries him being an odious corrupt retarded person isn't enough?

@avidseries my mom can't stand trump. brings it up every chance she gets. when pressed for details she can't provide any policy specifics. many such cases.

Answer: Trump.
