More US Marines and warships being moved to Middle East, reports say

It's like the traditional vacation spot. "We love it there."

Buy 3 insurgencies get 1 insurrection free

All he had to do was change nothing and prices would be more or less fine. But tariffs and wars are surefire ways to make things more expensive

If you don't think MAGA is supporting this, you'd be dead wrong. All of my MAGA co-workers are blaming previous admins for not taking care of the Irianian problem a long time ago and Trump is a hero.

Not even from US and he managed to raise prices in my country from his war. F*** you MAGAS.

Let's not forget, Trump also fingered (multiple) 12 year old p**** to gauge it for "tightness". If that statement seems offensive to you, welcome to the right side of history.

Don't forget the terrible jobs market and turning the US into a pariah state!

Fox "News" tells them this is better and stupid MAGA voters will repeat it

Americans are stupid, period! Republicans always mess us the country though wars, high spending, lower taxes on corporations and lower spending on social programs. Then we elect a Democrat to fix it up, only to be fooled by Fox News and then elect a Republican again. Rinse and repeat.

Don’t worry, they all think this is Bidens fault

And then Trump followed that up with "affordability is a Democrat hoax"

And as always, the dems will pay the price, why? Economic instability will start now but will continue for years, by the time there are moves to fix the economy, it will be a time for another president, so the following terms are the ones that will pay the political burden, because people are so bad at remembering beyond 1 or two years.

All because a black guy got elected

Do you mean the 150+ Iranian schoolgirls?

Yep somewhere in America a handful of girls got one place higher in their regional high school track meet or whatever because the trans athlete that might have come in third got banned. That makes this all worth it, surely!

Dudes in their 40s got drafted into World War II.

I have two coworkers that are below 17 that support Trump. Wears the hats and one of them is part of TPUSA. I wonder how they would feel that pretty soon if this war escalates and continues that they may become part of it?

My son’s 15, I hate that this is a possibility, not a strong one, not even barely realistic, but that it’s even floating in my brain at all

Yup, they will cry that they had no way of seeing this coming. While ignoring that the sane members of this nation were called "Chicken little" and more for screaming trump is a war monger who would ruin America. Like this administration isn't quite happening how I imagined it, but it is pretty f****** close. The trump supporters will just keep coddling themselves in lies to feel better.

To some extent, I think you give them too much credit to assume they're all believers. There are a lot of them, I don't doubt that, but even they don't really have a strong consensus on *why* they want the war. I really think a lot of these people don't believe in anything at all. They're impartial to war with Iran more than anything, as long as they stay relevant under Trump.

This is how dictators operate. It’s important to understand this. Trump fires the people who provide data he doesn’t like, and replaces them with people who will provide data that makes him feel better. Regardless of reality. He did this just a few months ago when’s the bureau of labor statistics put out unfavourable jobs numbers. He did this over and over again with health officials during Covid. It’s widely reported that Putin was unaware of the dismal state of the Russian military during their initial invasion of Ukraine for this very reason - generals being afraid to be honest. Despots punish honesty because they are typically fragile and need a false sense of security. We have a decade of evidence of Trump doing this. He famously has a staffer who follows him around with a portable printer who prints good news and polling stories about him - all to keep him in an imaginary space where he’s the god king and he does everything perfectly. This is important to understand - he’s not acting on accurate information. Even if he was being given accurate information, his malignant narcissism won’t permit him to hear it.

Truthfully losing an unpopular foreign war has taken out governments for millennia 

Let’s make it death of the Epstein empire

People used to hold out hope that military leadership would be some final check on Trump's insane bullshit. Well, we're seeing that concept be proven wrong at every possible turn.

He already had the title for Worst POTUS. He’s now gunning for Worst Generic Head of State in History. He has left the company of Andrew Johnson and is approaching Caligula and Idi Amin.

Their own Pentagon calls the Strait the "Kill Box". Imagine dying for Donald F****** Trump. I wouldn't go. Marines everywhere (Non-Maga marines) should decline deployment based on it being an illegal war.

Tech bro blowhards want their technofascist “freedom cities” built in the ME at any cost.

Shit been over for a decade now

and not for nothing it is working https://trends.google.com/explore?geo=US&q=war%2Cepstein&date=today%203-m

“I swear *this time* they’re super close to having a nuclear weapon!”

America didn’t even bother fabricating a Casus Belli before attacking. That gives a large stability penalty.

At least with the Iraq war, if was sold to Congress and because it was after 9/11, most of the American public went along with it. The objective of finding WMDs was clear (although clearly flawed). This current situation is a complete cluster f***. No one knows the objectives or even the reasoning of why it was initiated.

Even more so, so far Iran has done nothing that could be used to enrage the US population and bring them to the side of the war. No 9/11, no anti-communist sentiments. I think that is why the apparent sleepercells (if they actually exist) are not actively attacking on US soil.

The mongols in 1219 were the last ones to do it successfully

The real "patriotic support" here would be to stand against Trump

Meh, I think this is already out of control and dipshits doesn't know what to do. He's in full panic mode, or at least would be if he were capable of rational thought. He's learning in real time, very slowly, that he fucked up and noone around him is smart enough to fix it. Of course publicly he will continue to tell us how amazing it's going and how hard we are hitting them. The first week his cult echoed the freedom for Iran bit. That's gone dead silent on the local newspaper FB pages. Around here, that's where the cult idiots live.

>Removing any semblance of democracy? It’s already been removed for some time. They all *literally* stole the election, with alll kinds of shady things surrounding it. Harris getting no votes in some swing states, elon allegedly having access to the machines according to trump, recently florida was found to have had faux-voting boxes. The list is shockingly long. And of course, above all, you have mr projectionist supreme blaming others for doing it, so you know he at least wants to do it. And before all this? Your oligarchs already removed your democracy and replaced it with an oligarchy. The lot of you just thought it still existed. With all the power corps have, and how much money they have to propagandize the populace, including with things like lobbying and social media now, it’s been gone a long time now. It’s a nation of serfs/peasants/wage slaves to fuel the rich classes, all of which have little actual say in how their country operates as it turns out. Should have listened to your founding fathers more closely, I suppose, but oh well.

Well the US has already openly asked the UK & China for help .. That was a quick turnaround. I\`ve never heard Donald so shaken in my life .. Sun Tzu sure didnt write the art of the deal. China is running low on popcorn again while the UK is lubing itself up ..

And 5k doesn't seem all that significant unless those are just a couple of swift strikes and quick operations. If only those in charge felt like they might suffer consequences for what they are doing; instead they will just spew some bullshit on air and their psychofans will be ready to storm the Capitol again

Rising faster than his "ballroom" estimates did 

I was told Iran started this war 47 years ago so I guess it’s an old war?

100% accurate ! All of them are complicit in every single thing this regime has done !

Plus the AIPAC aligned dems - namely the four that voted against the war powers resolution. Wealth has, by far, more influence over our politicians than our votes or approval do.

Epic fail
