Administration yes, Trump not so much.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath with dementia. He doesn't care that this war is insanely unpopular. He's fully convinced in his own abilities to steal the 2026 election and permenantly end US democracy.

And the Dems have, at best, not offered any meaningful resistance to him whatsoever. At worst, they're literally complacent.

The thing that sucks about all of this is that, yet again, we're all footing the cost of this.

I think you're supposed to inject it.

But only after you open up your ribcage to let some UV in.

They are not panicking.

[–] yuknowhokat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That they would be panicking implies they had no way to know or guess that attacking anyone in the Middle East would cause an issue with oil production and transport. If that is the case, they really are the stupidest bastards out there.
