    Yeah, if he was able to make the military do that, he probably would have the first time he mentioned it. Instead we got TACO.

    I am never going to forget that the US political system failed to employ its supposed superior checks-and-balances against a mad president brandishing nuclear weapons.

    Even if you guys elect AOC as your next president, you’re not coming back from this, nobody should ever trust you again, unless you do some big constitutional reforms. The ancient antidemocratic Constitution that you revere is obsolete and antiquated and your quasi-religious devotion to it trash and downright dangerous. Just like Nazi Germany had to denazify, you fuckfaces need to de-american-exceptionalism-ify.

      Not only did our leadership handcraft the bullet they shot themselves with, they poured the gasoline in the barn and set if off at the same time.

      USA is fucked for a long time. We’ve burned every bridge imaginable for a few dollars. I hate it here.

      The US should never have been trusted, and no superficial “reforms” the dems push should change that.

      Are you talking about Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump 1, Biden, or Trump 2?

      (Carter gets a pass I think, don’t tell me if he did anything murderous like the others, allow me one good one thank you)

        As far as I know (maybe I’m wrong), even if each of these fucks was a war crimina in his own right, they didn’t go around threatening to use a nuclear first strike to annihilate a civilization. There is something particularly evil about the brandishing of unclear weapons.

    Is anyone keeping count on the times statements like this have been made? It feels like it’s on a 3 week cycle.

    Almost like he’s trying to distract from something.

              That’s cause everyone has. Quite literally no one cares about it anymore. It’s only randoms on the internet here and there who are too out of touch with the reality of the world around them that are still harping in about it.

              Anything that was going to happen has come and gone. It literally in every sense of the word no longer matters at all to any one in power.

              They have moved on entirely.

    This is 3rd or 4th time of making the threat. Hegseth is also making mission accomplished speeches, and saying SoH should be Europe’s problem. Latter is not serious because its not his job to ask for help, but it would be way less serious if nukes were flying by the time Europe got there. I think this is all more of an end of war (withdrawal) preparation, than the 4th time being the one where the most psycho part of the brain wins.

    And none of his followers think anything about the potential annihilation of a whole country. Truly despicable. At least they’ll keep each other company in Hell.

      Trump supporters are selfish people. The fact millions of innocent people would die is less important to them than the fact it will increase the price they pay at the pump

      At least they’re upset with the war because of gas prices, I guess

        Iran has been expecting a military invasion their entire lives.

        We sent some real estate agents.

        Guess who won?

            Now WHY would you tell the WORLD that you are out of ammo??? No logic there.

            What I suspect is a special “someone” owns the munitions factory that “desperately” needs to be in high gear right NOW. There’s some logic here.

            That’s SOP for this president. Gee some more logic.

        I can just imagine him threatening to drop a nuke directly on CNN headquarters and, because this is how fucking stupid humanity is, CNN just reporting on it like it’s just another day instead of getting the fuck out of there

        Big. Beautiful. Bombs. So many of them. People say to me, they say they’re the BIGGEST bombs they’ve ever seen. And I believe them. Because you’ve never seen so many bombs like that. Only in America. Only in beautiful America could you get so many bombs.

      He’s already said that the Iran war would immediately end if Republicans are elected. Also, gas prices will be >$2 per gallon and everyone gets $5000.
