I wonder if Iran would go after Trump & Maralago? Like they have to know the very large majority of Americans are against this war.

    @Sunflier @tidderuuf For or against the war, a primary school was targeted on the first day.
    I would not expect better.

    Exactly. When you purposefully kill a bunch of children as a first strike you're almost DEMANDING similar retaliation. It's like they want Iran to attack on US soil.

    Can't really expect them to care how many Americans are against the war as long as it's not enough to stop anything.

    I'd like to think most individuals in a war don't actually want the war, but given how unlikable the US is, I really wouldn't put it past a majority to want to see harm done to anyone from or in the US. I also couldn't blame them, either.

    Do they?

    Look at the propaganda we’re fed and then remember that most of them don’t have access to the wider internet. Their own government and no doubt Israel are probably pouring a strict diet of anti western propaganda straight down their throats.

    It's not even that.

    They can't penetrate American missile defenses, we're too far away, we'll see it coming.

    And the White House is built to prevent terrorist attacks, not just the building but the layout of the grounds and distance from other stuff.

    A terrorist could book a room at Marlago and likely have a busboy wheel the explosives in a suitcase.

    They don't even really need to blow it up, just burn it down with shit they find.

    Honestly it seems naive to think that a significant percentage of marlago guests aren't spies and terrorists these days.

    With how common empty rooms for long stretches have been as bribed, someone could have a room open for months/years before finally having a bad actor move in.

    Hotels are notoriously dangerous for terrorist risks to feds, and that's routine travel not them basically living there.

    I really think we'll see an attack on Marlago, just because that's where trump is most exposed. And we have dumbasses in charge of preventing it.

    I don't mean to scare you but they already did the math and we can't stop every single missile. Our coastline is too big

    Anyone that told you Iran can hit America with a missile is lying to get an increase ind defense spending.

    The claim is that a container ship could be used as a drone carrier.

    This claim was used to justify attacks against Iranian shipping companies.

    The truth is that it is possible to use a container ship this way, and the US might not see it coming in time to actually do anything about it.

    We should do that thing from Futurama where Nixon had a big party for all the robots, but we do it with all the MAGA politicians and billionaires, and let Iran go to town on the party.

    I wish the big orange cunt would die soon. Some people serve this world best by leaving it.

    With this and the comment about rising gas prices; How much more mask is even left to come off at this point?

    That response leads me to think he really is on death's door. He cares not a whit for the nation he currently rules over, nor for any other person more than for himself.

    Every rich and powerful person gets spiritual before they die, and that includes "brain backup" delusions of techbros.

    They're faced with the one thing money can't always solve, and anything is better than dying

    Even causing Armageddon because rapture isn't technically dying.

    Or the AI singularity because you think it'll "appreciate" you enough to preserve you.

    The problem is, there's always people on deaths door. The solution is only picking leaders who have something to live for after office.

    The narrative path of “Epstein files are all over the news which Trump hates even if he’s never going to see real consequences, Trump learns he has X amount of time left, realizes he doesn't want to live his last days constantly hearing how much people not only hate him but see him for the disgusting monster he is, starts an war that is guaranteed to at least keep the news cycle occupied until he dies even if everyone else dies with him” does make some twisted sense

    Epstein files?

    I’m pretty sure that’s what he wants. It’ll give him the support needed to further escalate to a full fledged war or an excuse to drop a goddamn nuke to end it.

    Anything to distract from the Epstein Files.

    Agreed, but at what point do his deplorable actions as President of the United States of America surpass that of the Epstein Files? Sure, he's a incestual pedophile rapist, but he's also slaughtering over a thousand men, women, and children, purporting to represent a country of 300 million citizens who mojorily disagree.

    Remember when Iran said they'd had a... what's the word... the religious word for death threat or whatever, on Shitler?

    Like a year ago. Nothing happened.
