"I know I gave Israel all these weapons, plotted with Netanyahu to commit genocide and start a massive war in the middle east, dropped bombs on Iran, and threatened Khamenei's life, but this was about getting attention away from all the shit I'M doing in the US! I didn't want to get caught up in a war, I just wanted people to stop being mad at me and redirect then away from all the constitutional violations I'm committing, the people I'm deporting illegally, all the rights I'm stripping away from everyone, and all the government institutions in sabotaging. Oh, and I was supposed to get a nobel prize and a resort in Israel when Bibi agreed to stop his war, so now he's screwing that up too!"

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Genuinely seems like someone told Trump this would be called "the twelve days war" and he would get a nobel peace prize for it. Bibi probably agreed and fell over in tears laughing when Trump left the room.
Precisely how I imagine any political meeting goes with him. It's like The Emperors New Clothes, except the king is a complete and stubborn moron on top of being vain and naive.
"The Emperor's New Brain"
Two Doll Donnie does NOT think this deep. He dropped bombs because he was being lambasted for yet another "Decide in 2 weeks" decision. It's a kneejerk reaction to being called a TACO, that is all. USA goes to war these days because the POTUS clown got it's fee fees hurt.
When I say 'OK now you have 12 hours', you don't go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them.
What did he expect? They had 12 hours left to bomb the shit out of Iran before the cease fire applied to them. Of course they were going to bomb Iran, and naturally Iran would retaliate. Why didn't the cease fire apply to everyone at the same time?
I think its an outdated concept to allow time for communication to reach all forces? Doesn't really work in the modern world.
Troops in the field don't have cell phones and wifi, they have radios at best. A sat phone if they're really important.
Yeah the individuals probably still have personal devices (even though they're not supposed to) but they don't keep a phone tree, and it's unlikely they have service in a war zone.
We’re not talking about people in fields with spears. These hypersonic missile facilities and fighter jets have plenty of communication channels with the top brass.
Rich, coming from him.
He blindly jumped into a sudden exchange of bombs because he didn't want to be left out. I'm pretty sure Israel and Iran know very well that Trump is out of his depth, and that that's why they ignore him.
Of course he's right that they should stop, but everybody sees he's a broken clock that just happens to be right this time. He lacks understanding and authority to handle these sort of conflicts.
Trump is out of his depth
Ehehehe
Let's actually hear him out in this one: he's a subject matter expert on not knowing what the fuck he's doing.
That sounds like antisemitism. /s
Only a nazi would point out Israel’s bullshit claims of antisemitism every time they commit an atrocity. /s
Every accusation is a confession, right?
I think this one is more subliminal than the others.. Usually they're just trying to deflect and distract and using accusations to do it.. This time he's legitimately annoyed and just being honest.
Not that there's much practical difference..
Man, irony is dead.
Very presidential. /s
HE SAYS IT LIEK IT ISSSSS
So regal. Just a class act, unlike that Obama fellow. ~/s~
Hey, Donald, projecting again?
No, as an expert on not knowing what the fuck he's doing, he's just confirming.
This is definitely projection, because it's very apparent to anyone with eyes that Trump doesn't know what the fuck he is doing.
He was gung ho about regime change literally like 2 days ago. Sick of this moron.
Rapist clown says what?
The entire world -barring MAGAt morons- says the same thing about you, TACO Don...
Broken clock
But he totally does! /s
