Iran says it will not reopen Strait of Hormuz because of Trump’s "ridiculous displays"

That's just about the only example I know of... and yeah, it was a bit bizarre. Basically gambling that Germany wouldn't push harder if they just took their ball and went home.

History can repeat itself here. The price of oil has trump by the balls and the Iranians know that. They can also still send drones to hit oil tankers even angry after boots on the ground, more bombing of Iranian targets etc. Even once trump pulls out, Iran will continue to 'toll' the straits.

Good one! Bolcheviks, like Trump, were compulsive liars, lived in their own alternate universe, and cared little for reality.

Shart of a deal

One can only dream.

Hitler was a bad dude but what about the guy who killed Hitler?

What do you mean? He was able to single handily end WW2 in Europe.

Steiner… Steiner didn’t have enough men to counter attack.

You are confusing rage quitting with a military defeat, which ends with one or multiple agreements between all parties involved, and can often be completed over multiple years, such as it was the case in Vietnam and Afghanistan (both for Soviet Union and the US).

To be fair vietnam is basically like the ukraine russia war.  Except we were trying to stop communism and gain a strategic foothold instead of protecting or gaining land. Just like russia we thought we would jump in and flabergast them with america the great and advanced tech. Only problem is the american public was done seeing dead soldiers sent home for no apparent gain plus the benjamins we pissed away. All of this is interconnected since russia invaded.  The end game im not certain on.  But it's no coincidence the drama with gaza, ukraine, russia, venezuela, cuba, mexico..... heck lets just throw everyone on here.  Starts with a c oil company, oil money,..... My guess is low key our allies didn't want to take part in trumps scheme.  And he is very desperate.  He knows he isn't a spring chicken.   He has dirt and it's known to other powerful people.  Not trying to act like im this great detective.  I know others know this.  It's the ignorant "they took our jobs" type that he is exploiting.

I mean, rage quitting being attacked is kinda hard, I imagine

And your fart would probably smell better too

Its just a sign how far our country has fallen. I too tend to think iran has no *reason* to make up shit. Why get in your enemy's way when they're making a mistake? Like you, big grain of salt, but really can't believe we're at a stage where when Iran announces something I'm like "yeah. probably" and when my own president does its "well thats just a lie"

Oh I disagree. You can't get those outputs using solely manure

Yes. But I always thought that the point a dog whistle was plausible deniability. Trump would deny himself that plausible deniability in the very next sentence by saying the quiet part out loud. So, one could argue that both Trump and his supporters have no plausible deniability and it’s just a whistle now.

I mean the answer is obvious: he’s being forced to lie by malevolent woke/gay operatives within the government that will soon be revealed! He’s blasting Kid Rock 24/7 over the speakers and forcing all personnel to come to work dressed only in GAP clothing until they’ve been flushed from the government. Not to worry!

Oh come on. It's in the prize title. Peace prize. Not truth prize. Duh.

Oh. My. Gawd.

NAY ! I say! My fearless Cheeto would never mislead me!

On one hand, Trump is truly incapable of humiliation. All of us are humiliated - we're humiliated daily by his actions. But he will invent some story to tell himself, to prevent experiencing his own humiliation. There will be actions associated with that story, too - He's going to start doing the weirdest, most frantic shit ever - Its scary to think of, because once again - he already does the stupidest, most embarrassing stuff.

His presidency won’t end outside of anything less than nature running its course or force.

It ends with US vacating the region and Iran taking over the strait.  ie the worst military blunder in modern history..  a superpower starts a war for no reason and then loses everything we had in the region Just Trump shit

And he probably expects if he walks away then the Strait will open again like magic.

Strategic Goals for the Iran Excursion 1) Ballroom 2) Win trophies and medals and peace prizes 3) Trump Iran Resort 4) Steal gold for Qatar bank account 5) Make Putin & Netanyahu proud 6) Ballroom

Or he pulls a ground invasion as reports say the army is ready for go as of today

I know Trump never lies because thats what he told me, and he never lies.

Listen buddy, how dare you say that. They're not clueless. They know exactly what they're doing and it's calculated to grift their supporters and the entire world for personal enrichment.

I’d settle for good again

Gonna rant but it's beyond unfathomable to me how angry republicans would be if the parties were reversed here. *Everything* trump is doing is what republicans have accused past presidents of doing, consolidating power, bypassing branches, trying to influence elections, etc. I mean f***, I remember when it was 'king obama' because republicans yelled about him 'ruling by EO'...and now here we are. Obama did 276 EO's in his 8 years and trump has done 253 *since last f****** january*. If you count his first term he's done *473* EO's so far. and he's on track to be the most EO's of any president since f****** truman. So where's the outrage???? https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/executive-order-tyranny-obama-plans-to-rule-america-with-pen-phone > Can the president legally bypass Congress and rule the government by decree? The answer to the question above is: No. But you wouldn’t know that by listening to President Obama. . > the president has referred to his pen and his phone as a way of suggesting that he will use his power to issue executive orders, promulgate regulations and use his influence with his appointees in the government’s administrative agencies to continue the march to transform fundamentally the relationship of the federal government and individuals to his egalitarian vision when he is unable to accomplish that with legislation from Congress. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/mr-obama-our-constitution-is-clear-your-executive-overreach-must-stop > there has been “a massive gravitational shift of authority to the Executive Branch that threatens the stability and functionality of our tripartite system.” . > Preventing the president from overstepping the boundaries of his constitutional authority is not about partisan politics.

Congress can't do anything until the republicans who are defending him are gone. It was the same with the TSA funding. Dems proposed 9 or 10 bills to fund them but were stopped every time by republicans because they didn't include the provisions for ICE.

If Iran releases the files, it would be glorious.

I have seen interviews where Americans blame 9/11 on barrack obamas open border policy. Don't hold your breath.

Honestly I thought that’s what Israel was doing with Joe Biden

I wonder if they go as far as getting other countries to start sanctioning the U.S. until there’s proper reparations made? If you’re France or India or Australia - seems like the United States is the cause of these issues and if they walk away from the mess they made - what motivation do you have to side with the U.S. instead of Iran in that context? Especially if sanctioning the U.S. means you get your goods thru the Strait, while the U.S. threatens to pull out of NATO if… I legitimately don’t know what the orange one’s motives are beyond kowtowing to Putin.

yeah Brent was 120$ yesterday, today ~100$. What changed? Trump said they'll stop within 3 weeks. Make it make sense

Let’s sell to everyone except our bully down south.

I wouldn't be too glad about that. Securing potash for fertilizer is the perfect story the US government can use to tell MAGA they have to invade Canada, if those evil Canadians won't just give the US what they need.

Tbf a lot of women and children have said no to him, he just doesn’t care and assaulted them

I cannot believe this timeline tried first to rehab MTG, and now the Iranians. I can't believe who I am ending up rooting for these days. This is crazy.

Mmmm, chelow kebab. And some panir-o sabzi as a starter 🤤
