    If that happens then how will the Orange Shitgoblin kill innocent children, huh?
    Why won’t anyone think of the Shitgoblin’s murderous desires!!??!

    Oh, wait, don’t worry. I’ve just read that Shitler’s regime are cutting Medicare aid, which will kill thousands and thousands in the long run. Phew, I was a bit worried there for a second.

        At that things age?

        Ok, after having a quick think I suggest the fat orange imbecile takes a dosage of 1000 highest strength viagras, all at once, to get the wrinkly mushroom tingling. Or a quick injection of 200ml of bleach…

      You’re probably aware but if not. It’s already a rallying cry. “Iran is threatening everyone including Israel, if we don’t defend them Iran will destroy Israel, your an antisemite of you don’t support stopping Iran first”

        The inevitable conclusion to this shit is “ok, guess I’m an antisemite then”.

        Do they think labels of bigotry will make people change their opinion? Do they know what fucking country they live in? That doesn’t even work when the labeling of bigots is true. Hell, they end up in the white house.

      Right now, for everyone except Israel and Iran, the war is about opening the Strait of Hormuz and stopping Iran from collecting a toll there. Letting Iran continue like they do now would set a terrible precedent for global trade.

        Right, despite starting this was with the expressed intention of collapsing their society, we can’t have America not go back to the status quo of imposing sanctions on Iran while Iran spends money and resources every year for maritime upkeep so American trade can continue to pass through freely. We wouldn’t want terrible precedents set.

          I’m at a bit of a loss as to where to start replying to this. Nowhere did I imply that I was in favor of Trump, or that I don’t consider this war to be an embarrassing and horrific mistake, or that I found the previous status quo to be ideal - and even if I did imply it, it is quite irrelevant as to whether or not what I posted was true.

          …and it is true. The closure of the strait is a huge threat to global trade, and the rules and norms that keep it flowing - and thus it’s a threat to all of our economies.

            The status quo that you claim to not find ideal and don’t think is relevant is what enabled the global trade you think is being threatened. The rules and norms imposed by the US by threat of force.

            Oh no, the ship is charged $1 million to pass through the straight, how will global trade survive!?

            I’ve seen estimates the fee would range from 1-5% of total ship cargo value on average. Hardly threatening global trade.

            Repay them for all the war damages, remove all sanctions, give them their frozen assets back, and then ask them kindly to allow free passage through the straight again. But this whole we’re gonna bomb you, kill your religious leader, kill hundreds of your children, destroy your civilian infrastructure, and we want you to go back to the deal that gives us an advantage doesn’t work when they destroyed all your assets in the region, drained your munitions, and put on display your actual lack of power for all to see. Pay up, it’s you’re turn.

    For something that’s not a war because all this was done illegally based under other false pretexts and “names”, this sure does sound, feel, and act like it is in fact, a war.

      Yeah that’s the thing: This was basically all legal (war crimes aside). The US political system has been shifting towards this being acceptable for at least two generations. The president gets to wage war wherever he feels like it in America.

      The goal right now is to get Europe involved via Ukraine. They are testing the waters right now.

      But, I think they miscalculate Europeans. They don’t care about Ukraine. They care about NOT becoming Ukraine.

      If Europe gets involved all of Europe gets stuck in the same meat grinder for America as Ukraine has been in.

          If they’re gonna fuck you, it seems they would like to know your preferences. And I have to say, judging from past experience, it’s rather nice that they’re even asking.

      I am all for hating in American culture, but every Abrahamic religion is rife with hypocrisy. They all are very willing to overlook the fundamental ‘do not kill’ maxim and for slavery they are quite apt to make loopholes. Just look at the foreign ‘laborers’ that are worked to death in Quatar and the UAE.

        I doubt anyone here particularly cares about the details, but the only crime whose punishment is stoning in Islam is extramarital sex for married people caught in the act by four valid witnesses, and it’s not gendered (and also vanishingly rare even in the past), so I’m not sure what you mean by “stoning a woman.”

          that makes it okay, then!

          Fuck all religion. It’s backwards, superstitious trash that turns brother against brother for nothing more than headcanon superiority and societal control.

        😂 and America doesn’t fuck lives up or fund nations that fuck lives up. It’s the game dunn. All of that aspect is the enemy of humanity regardless of Christianity, American nationalism or Islam. But still Islam has more heart than America’s slave culture. All your “freedom” is psychological manipulation to make you believe you have freedom. Shit that’s what CIA ethics are based off… Everything is fine if you convince the people it’s freewill, even if your convincing them to commit suicide, mass murders, or go to war for the pathetic psychopath mindset.

        All of it is dog shit humanity worth eternal torture.

          Here’s my impression of Muhammad.

          God spoke to me and told me that you are full of shit. Therefore you are unclean.
