Trump Spirals as Even More Allies Refuse to Join Iran War | Longtime U.S. allies are rejecting President Trump’s requests for help.

Nah better to spend a billion dollars to NOT build a windfarm.

“Renewables are for pussies! I like wars for oil, that’s Alpha.” —Every single MAGA

Too late for that old chum. You know how much interest the US has to pay on existing debt? Debt that is skyrocketing and is hugely impacted by interest rates that the big Orange Womble is helping to raise? America is already bankrupt but the big crash happens either early next year at the latest, or sooner - when America literally can not cover those payments. There’s literally nothing that can be done now that can prevent this. Those that know are buckling in for the ride. Trump being the feckless idiot he is, will likely speedrun the economic crash by minting a ‘trillion dollar coin’ - basically printing money. Never ends well. And this ‘Trump Trillion’ coin will have his face on it and he’ll think is the best thing ever.

He’s using billions of your money to pay people to not build windfarms.

It was never and will never be about improving life in the US for Americans, it has always been about making the rich richer and more powerful. Nothing to do with citizens. Those people control (with their money) not only your life, but also the president, the US army, and all their actions around the globe. They move them as they want, kill whoever they want to eliminate, so they can get their natural resources for themselves, not for you or me obviously. Obviously the president is always a puppet figure, designed to take blame (or credit) for their decisions. It's all a big TV show, has been the case since before JFK.

Are you kidding? Think about how much money the defense contractors have contributed to members of Congress to help them get elected. Billions upon billions if not trillions. Look at what that’s got them. An aerial war can never be won

That's already done. But now he's pretending NATO is still alive (after murdering and burying it) in case we haven't noticed and he can scam us one last time...

And Canada

Yep, why would they help keep the US forces stronger when they’ve been threatening to attack their territories?

Epic FAFO is now what I'll be referring to it as.

First he tries to bully us economically and tell us our sacrifices in previous wars don't actually count. He doesn't need us. Then Iran gives the US' pecker a smack, and He tucks tail and runs to us looking for help. Get f****** bent, cake eater.

You mean whining on Air Force One and sending out all caps tweets aren't the official channels for asking for military aid? I guess you probably want him to go through Congress to "officially" declare war as well.

Putin is hanging on for dear life in Ukraine. And European NATO would respond even if we know America won't. Putin would enslave us all if he could, but the limit of his current power is "not being able to conquer Donbass after 4 years".

No doubt - Agent Krasnov has been on a roll for Master Putin!

We not only have about a third that actively support this, but we also have a very sizable chunk that may not like what's going on, but don't dislike it enough to do anything about it. Things need to get much worse (here) for that second set to actually engage. And let's say Trump finally goes for his final windmill tilt and a Dem manages to take over. They will simply revert back to "see, it all worked out. You were overreacting." And then in four - eight years will allow fascism back in because, eh why not? We have a *much* larger issue than simply the rabid red hats, and nowhere near enough people want to actually admit that.

They have the government that they deserve, congrats on not electing that uppity woman of colour. /s just in case.

And yes, that is a huge concern. I agree. The orange POS is not the cause, but a symptom. But also, he is a representation or manifestation of the evil/hatred those same people have. He says and does things they always wished they could do in public, and now they feel liberated. And he's also a willing and useful idiot who is more than happy to put his name on everything and be given vanity projects while the more nefarious people start to enact their dystopian objectives behind the scenes. With that said, I really do think that one of the core issues as to why we're here today is because the US has had and still has a huge racism problem. To a lot of those 30%, if the choice were to provide a better society for everyone, they would rather starve or light themselves on fire than to see a minority get the same benefit as they would. And that thinking and many others have made it a decades long goal of the GOP, their aligned think-tanks, and all of their donors to continually foster that hatred. They have, unfortunately, done a masterful job of systematically destroying the infrastructure needed for a healthy country while using fear and anger to promote lies that they alone can fix what they actually broke. And also used that anger on those who simply decided to stay at home and to place blame on someone else (Democrats), and that's why they are the enemy. I mean, after all the horrible things the confederacy stood for and has done during the American Civil War, they were not really punished. Instead of doing what needed to be done by the leaders of the country, by holding them accountable, they instead went with reunification. And because of that those same racist people raised their children to be the same racist POS as they were, and the cycle continued. It is way past time for this country to stop just trying to heal and simply move forward. You can't heal unless to properly treat or cut out the festering boil or infection first. So, it is important that the American people elect the right individuals are willing to punish (not forgive) ALL the people who played their role in destroying the foundations of this country. Put them all on trial, throw them in jail, and keep them there. The goal should be about accountability, not healing. And also create stronger safeguards so that this can't and won't happen again. Otherwise, the next figurehead won't be as dumb and as orange, but instead, more charismatic, measured, and conniving. I am hopeful that we can start the process to restoring our society to a semblance of a healthy benevolent democracy. And it is something I am fighting for.

That's really it right there. Americans got rid of Trump and then they went and voted him back into power. There is something wrong with politics in America and even after Trump is gone his base will still be there like you said. All the sane Republicans are gone (stop laughing, I'm talking about the Liz Cheneys of the party) and what is left are his "loyalists" and just dumb fucks that thing this shit is fine.

No shit. Nobody needs the insipid lecture

US software is *all* going to be vibe coded worthless garbage soon anyway.

Russia is for Russia. Always.

> And that many of you still think that asking nicely would have changed anything is incredible too. You still don't realize the amount of damage done by the US. Putin couldn't have dreamt of a better agent to destroy NATO. What annoys me is the narrative that it is because allies hate Trump. Don't get me wrong: they do, but the reason you'll find zero support in Europe is because this war is so completely brain dead it is unwinnable. It is completely irrational. A completely unnecessary war instigated by an unholy alliance of genocidal maniacs, demented toddlers and christo-fascists. Israel lost all its goodwill two years ago, only Russia is more hated and if you ask people on the streets it'd be closer than you think. The US was not liked before this war, and now they are f****** over people's wallets. Joining this war is political suicide for anybody involved, left right or centre, extreme or moderate. It is lunatics vs lunatics, and people aren't going to fall for any bullshit about the free world versus the rest because as far as they are concerned neither Israel nor the US are a part of that any more. So any leader getting involved can kiss his carreer goodbye, and nobody is going to do that for an unwinnable conflict. The Iran regime is stronger than it was a month ago. USrael lost the moment they let Iran block the strait they just don't realise it yet. Every day this goes on longer is a day of more economic hurt for pretty much the whole world. This ends in two ways: the attack on Iran stops, or by an economic crisis that will take down a good number of governments worldwide. Nobody is going to stick their nose in if that means this nonsense lasts even longer. You'll see European countries paying tolls to Iran before you'll see them entering the war. That is how big of a f*** up this is.

I didn't vote for this administration.
