Trump, not Iran, is the world’s greatest danger. He’s a one-man weapon of mass destruction: As the bombing starts again, it’s clear the president has dragged the US into a limitless fiasco – and the world into an economic quagmire
The Guardian ^

Posted on 07/19/2026 6:40:21 PM PDT by BusterDog

Feckless and clueless, Donald Trump is lost in Iran, unable to find a way out of the disastrous war he started. Once again, the US military is pummelling the country and, increasingly, its civilian infrastructure. As before, this unlawful bludgeoning strengthens the resistance of a hardline regime that cares little for its people’s suffering. How often have Trump and Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon’s wildling lord of bones, hailed a bogus victory? The president claimed this week to be “winning big”. No one believes him. Even as it counts the vast human and economic cost of his Persian folly, a watching world scoffs at US impotence.

Trump is showing that we can conquer a maniac regime without a ground war. The idiots who think war is done with WW-II tactics want to kill our boys using pre-semiconductor technology.

Damn our education system.

UK that’s been sold out by its ruling elite to the Islamicist invasion ... and which can’t even get a single Royal Navy ship out of port over a weekend

So when will the Caliphate take over?

2040?

2030?

“...unable to find a way out of the disastrous war he started...”

This overseas leftist rag must be oblivious to the fact the war started here some 47 years ago and was never finished, meanwhile the UK has been run over the same group of devil-worshippers.

No worries as it won’t long before the 7th century barbarians take over their island. Not happy in Ireland too as the same infestation is ruining the place.

How long has it been? How many Americans have died?

How long did the Vietnam War last? How many Americans died there?

What is the metric for "limitless" and "fiasco?" How long does it take to define "limitless?" Twelve years? Twelve months? Three months? Three days?

"Plenty of fellow travelers on FR."

Part of the reason that people voted for Trump is that he ran as a "no new wars" president. He kept that promise during his first term but seems to have forgotten it. Does it make us "fellow travelers" or lovers of Iran or Islam to think this war was ill-conceived?

I had to check the date to be sure it wasn’t March 2,but atleast they did change the date on the article they published that day. I wonder how many low cost drones we will have in the air this week, though I don’t know why we didn’t have them a decade ago. Pentagon procurement I guess

Trump is responsible for the bad economic policies of the entire world now?

Was that before or after he destroyed democracy a thousand times?

Long enough that the Poles want to kick every Ukrainian out of Poland.
