Oh, so upcoming news on one of the other despicable things he is doing to harm people and he needs a distraction.

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 4 points 19 minutes ago

He decided he can't beat Canada. Back to Iran!

I feel like, and this isn't in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

This isnt even saber rattling anymore. Its just an old man threatening the kids to get off his lawn, except its not his lawn, its a lawn on TV, and they aren't even kids, they're deer.

Truman won't be the only war criminal that used nuclear bomb. Truman, Trump, there is something about stupid arrogant Americans which name starts with Trum

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 11 points 1 hour ago (3 children)

LOL. If there was a big decision he wouldn't need to announce that it was coming.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 4 points 40 minutes ago

Dude's vague posting like a twitter influencer

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 3 points 40 minutes ago

Yeah this is market manipulation. Again.

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It’s like when a parent gets frustrated and starts yelling at a kid without thinking anything through. “When we get home I’m gonna…well you just better hope I don’t decide to annihilate Iran, mister.”

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

I'm going to turn this car around right now!

Fuck, it's just as we've feared, the Yanks have developed used diaper catapult technology

Localized entirely within your kitchen?

Can I see it?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 hours ago

The top cop, mister flip flop. He would nuke anybody if the spotlight were to get too close to the proof of his degeneracy.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 36 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

And none of his followers think anything about the potential annihilation of a whole country. Truly despicable. At least they'll keep each other company in Hell.

[–] dragonlover@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I remember when i was a kid my mom would say shit like "we wouldn't be in a war if we just bombed the shit out of them til there was nothing left." They dont see the people living in the middle east as people, they didnt 15 years ago and they dont now. there is zero empathy and its disgusting

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It's just the natural continuation of a mentality that allowed "people" to come to a different land, rape and murder everyone in sight, settle in the graveyard they filled themselves, and still call themselves people, supported by God even. Nothing new, but the fact it's been over 200 years and it's still prevalent enough that Trump, the figurehead of Western imperialism and white supremacy, has over 30% approval rate, makes it all very sad. But John Brown existed, so I keep my hopes up that one day, God willing, humanity and the desire for peaceful coexistence will settle in the heart of "radical" Westerners.

Every people has some black stains on their past...but it really seems like white people are the last ones to realize it.

We (white people) are the bad guys.

There's been lots of bad guys, but for the past millenia or so, white people have been and continue to be the worst.

We're #1?

I guess what we have to accept is that if we're not the bad guys, then someone else is and then we are the oppressed. So we can't just forfeit being the world's assholes, because somebody else will do it to us!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

In the 80s, Americans sported "Bomb Japan Again" bumper stickers. So being cunts is not new.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago (1 children)

Fucking boomers need to die already

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 1 points 9 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago)

That's why they're speed-running the surveillance state. The billionaires know full well the Overton window is about to shift on them.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

At least they'll keep each other company in Hell.

It must be nice to believe this.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It is! But how I feel about it doesn't make it any more or less true. And likewise, I try to behave in ways to avoid the same ending, even if it means less hedonistic enjoyment and material comfort.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 16 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

No offense, but what a stupid way to live your life.

Actually, I dunno why I said "no offense."

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 73 points 5 hours ago (5 children)

Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it's on a 3 week cycle.

Almost like he's trying to distract from something.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 8 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

For fucking real. Stop reporting on what the man says he's going to do and report on what he actually does

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

He probably takes his dementia medication every 3 weeks

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 hours ago

With Operation Epstein Fury?? Naaaaw!

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I guess it is to normalise the call for a genocide in public.

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That man does not think that far ahead. He just wants wants people to stop questioning the size of his hands (penis).

[–] Jiral@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

You mean, he wants them to stop talking about his pal Epstein?

Time to manipulate the markets until after opening on Monday

Hasn't Iran already been annihilated several times?

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Don't you know that iran is a phoenix?

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 4 points 2 hours ago

Turns out he was right, I am in fact tired of all this "winning" against Iran.

The last thing I read was that the US runs low on interceptors while Iran restarted its missile production.

Trump Says "Big Decision" Coming on Whether to "STEAL" Iran's Oil.

[–] UsernamesAreForSuckers@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That’s always been the game. It’s why America toppled Iran’s democracy back in the 50s.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Iran has been expecting a military invasion their entire lives.

We sent some real estate agents.

Guess who won?

I mean, Donnie boy done annihilated Iran 16 times. How much more winning you need? Pretty soon he going to be annihilating them with canon balls cause all the missiles got used up in the previous annihilations.

[–] UsernamesAreForSuckers@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (3 children)

We’ve already annihilated, we can’t annihilate any farther.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 5 points 3 hours ago

Donnies been at the snozberries again.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

How many times Donnie Small-hands gonna “Annihilate Iran” ?
