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 ^

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.

The leftist islamocommies in the US, UK, Europe and Canada are on the IRGC’s side……
I seem to recall the IRGC murdering 10s of thousands of Iranians.
No one must have told them…..or they are over looking it to spew hate against MAGAs.
Their brains are crippled because they are a product of the devil’s anus.

What is the metric for "limitless" and "fiasco?"

That depends on what party the president is from. If a dem, then it is not a limitless fiasco, but rather a brave defender of democracy. If a Republican, then it is a limitless fiasco.

Hope that helps.

But are they? We kept hearing over and over again that Iran was close to having nuclear weapons. After a while one gets skeptical.

this unlawful bludgeoning

"lawful"? Whose law? I didn't vote for Guardian. Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

Iran has been throwing missiles at their neighbors for almost 50 years.

But sure. It is Trump's fault.

  ..and the world into an economic quagmire.
 
 


A.D. 980-1016
 
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say:--
"We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
 
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
 
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:--
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
 
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
 
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:--
 
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

Trump was going to be impeached regardless of going to war or not. He didnt go to war in his first term and was impeached, for nonsense, so they would impeach him again for breathing if they had to

Again, it’s not our oil. ✖️

It’s not our country ✖️

We are in the wrong ✖️
