Psychast Mar 30, 2026 +27

For the same reason people rightfully say that Health Insurance conglomerates kill people by denying claims, it isn't the literal actions taken that kill. United Healthcare wasn't LITERALLY taking a gun to people's heads, it's just that: faced between lifelong crippling, inescapable debt, and death, they chose death, because in America, being poor is tantamount to a death sentence anyways. You become a second class citizen, incapable of participating in society, huddling under a damp freeway until the weather, a junky, or disease, takes you anyways. In a similar vein, desperate people hoping for a better life join the military for its pay and benefits, so desertion risks everything they've been trying to build. If you die in the desert, you get called "hero" and you're family gets a very nice pay out along with a free flag, if you get thrown in jail and dishonorably discharged, you're family gets nothing, in fact, they lose everything. For some, the choice very much is easy, just not the way you're thinking.

27

_wawrzon_ Mar 30, 2026 +6

Sadly most of society is numb to white collar crimes. We can cry and outrage, because one young person was abducted and killed, but we don't give a flying f*** about corporations stealing money (wage theft, poor working conditions) which leads to higher stress, substance abuse, family violence, mental issues or even death for thousands of people every years. It's slowly changing, because of last year, but as long as we can't directly see it, we get easily duped into believing it doesn't exist or is a fringe situation.

Honestly part of me is legitimately worried that the f****** around part could get even worse really fast. They keep not-so-subtly bringing up the literal nuclear option and the more the war goes badly, I really worry that the more he feels backed into a corner the more likely he is to drop one in a desperate bid to save face and look tough. Which of course would have the polar opposite effect and potentially unleash hell. It's honestly not something I've been worried about in my lifetime and not even during his last shitshow of a presidency, but yeah. I'm legitimately worried about it now.

EmbarrassedW33B Mar 30, 2026 +9

I've always been terrified or that f****** delusional a****** doing something insane with our nukes.

Not to mention vindictive and incapable of empathy. He shouldn't have control of a f****** convenience store, let alone the power to destroy the world several times over. And America gave him that power twice. I don't f****** understand

i honestly think Trump is going to have them parachute into the mountains where Iran has those rocket facilities.

Nah, Trump desperately wants a deal so that his administration can save face and withdraw. Then blame Isreal for not holding to it.

10

sulris Mar 30, 2026 +21

If he wanted a deal he probably shouldn’t have killed the leader. It’s hard to negotiate with the dead. Pretty hard to negotiate when you killed the new leader’s dad just a few days ago. Just let the human element sink in. If someone killed your dad last month and wanted to negotiate with you this month, what would you tell them? In that moment, how much would you care about the global economy or the international rules based order?

21

CT_Phipps-Author Mar 30, 2026 +8

Trump doesn't care about his dad or children so he is confused why anyone else would.

WolverinesThyroid Mar 30, 2026 +4

Charlie_Mouse Mar 30, 2026 +1

It also makes it pretty hard to negotiate with anyone senior on the other side if every time you negotiate with someone you kill them. That tends to make people a mite skittish about talking to you for some reason. I was rewatching “Mars Attacks” the other day and the penny finally dropped what they were satirising with the [Martians repeatedly offering to negotiate with different governments then slaughtering everyone.](https://youtu.be/D3HDI-9HX-E) (Ok, maybe I’m a bit slow on the uptake.)

Trump said something the other day to the effect of he tells the generals what to do and they do it (he's also said he knows more than the generals). The generals no doubt told him all about the straight of Hormuz and he didn't care because he thought this would be quick and easy like Venezuela.

DrDerpberg Mar 30, 2026 +64

The fact they all just go along with this every time gives me no hope any of them wouldn't launch nukes if he said to.

He could decide to launch nukes at California and the only chance we’d have is that some Trumpian boot licker has family in California and says, “Sir, how about New York instead?”

Genki-sama2 Mar 30, 2026 +97

Nah Hegseth is smarter than all those generals. Trump told him so. /S The fact that Trump told us he only surrounds him self with losers gives us a measure of the mettle of the man responsible for this.

Media should just say “in what Trump and Hegseth have both called the ‘War with Iran’”. It doesn’t really matter what the do nothing congressman have or have not declared. The commander in chief and the head of the DOD are treating it as a war.

Seems like it’s easier to control people with oil. Blockade this country, they suffer, sanction countries when they don’t do what you want, they suffer, blow up someone’s oil production, people suffer. Seems they’d rather that than being able to pull energy from the f****** sky.

redditobserverone Mar 30, 2026 +18

The current White House occupant sent a $1 billion payoff to France to not build a wind farm. “The Trump administration, which has taken every step possible to block offshore wind development, is so opposed to this possibility that it’s paying Total to give up those leases — which the company wasn’t even using — in exchange for a promise that Total will invest the money in oil and gas projects off the U.S. Gulf Coast — which it was already doing.” https://grist.org/politics/trump-interior-offshore-wind-total/ The dude’s addiction to oil, money, revenge and pettiness is epic. Meanwhile the cost of the war that began in February has cost more than $22 billion, injuries and loss of life.

domine18 Mar 30, 2026 +1

We found a very large lithium deposit in Thacker pass in Nevada. There is also all kinds of rare earth minerals on the floor of the ocean in spheres. A lot of friendly nations have rare earths to trade also. The other benefit is if the “Congo” or whatever decides they want to be dumb and cut supply who cares? It’s not like oil and we are burning the lithium we find…..batteries do not need to be replaced that often usually about once a decade and guess what the lithium can be recycled! We can just look for other ways to get what rare earths we need and be just fine….

xena_lawless Mar 30, 2026 +2

Trump needs a distraction from the Trumpstein files, and Netanyahu needs constant war to stay out of jail and in power. So unjust, unpopular, unnecessary war it is. The lesson that humanity should learn from this is that bourgeois "democracy" is a scam, which lets the ruling class wage endless wars that the public pays for (in blood, lives, and taxes) but has no actual say in. It should never be up to just one person to send a country into a war, even if they lie and call it a "special military operation" or whatever. Bourgeois "democracy" is fake democracy, and a scam. The ruling class will always lead countries into pointless wars that they profit from and decide on, but don't pay for. Humanity urgently needs to learn this lesson, ideally before World War III kicks off.
