Donald Trump expressed certainty his big gamble to directly assist the Israelis delivered a knockout blow to Iran’s nuclear program — even as many supporters and detractors alike were warning that U.S. military action could draw the United States into an expansive regional conflict.
Trump, in brief remarks to the nation on Saturday evening from the White House, said the U.S. strikes “obliterated” three critical Iranian enrichment facilities and “the bully of the Middle East must now make peace.”
But it’s a risky moment for Trump, who has belittled his predecessors for tying up America in “stupid wars” and has repeatedly said he was determined to keep the U.S. and the Middle East from another expansive conflict.
You think his cult members won’t eat this up and just follow their Daddy because he told them so, Associated Press? That’s rich, they’re already out there justifying it. Once they get their marching orders from FOX, it will be “war is a good thing and when we said wars in the middle east were bad we just meant only when they’re started by Democrats” conveniently ignoring how few of them have been started by Democrats instead of being spearheaded by Republicans like the faked intelligence leading to the Iraq War. Democrats didn’t push it, they just went along with it because public sentiment said the people wanted war. Democrats, being the wishy washy fucks they are, bent over and said “I’ll do whatever I need to keep idiots happy and voting me back in.”
Not so much voting them back in as much as donating to the DNC, democrats ultimately don’t care about winning, in fact they make more money when they’re losing.
God damn I hate this country. Every mainstream news outlet is just working in their own way to manufacture concent for more war. It’s so fucking gross and so obvious to anyone paying attention. Fuck this place.
Love that AP News considers an utterly illegal, inhumane, and unnecessary bombing to be a ‘risky moment’. Instead of, you know, a crime against humanity.
Narrator: he lied
How’s it risky? The media’s still trying to sanewash it.
It’s also not questioning Trump’s flunkies’ damage assessment.
Oh this war? It’s not stupid Netanyahu told him so. So it has to be true
The only “risk” is if the people fail to rise up and overthrow Trump. We failed that, we will lose group of all freedom.
Yeah a big gamble, who knows what might happen if people think he’s a liar!
risky moment
FFS.
Stupid moment, more like.
A move ignoring the input of his own Intelligence Dept (if Gabbard/intelligence can be used??) and specifically executed in hopes Chump can parlay it into that Peace Prize he’s been jonesing for with the added benefit of making Netan-yayhoo happy.
Effect: oil prices will rise substantially, US is now open to another 9/11 event with the regime of ultimate stupidity in charge, Putain will not react happily, and other such fun and joy I haven’t yet thought of…
Fucking. Idiot. Impulsive. OutOfControl. Toddler.
