German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has issued a rare condemnation of the U.S. over Trump's "disastrous" war on Iran, saying that it causes an irreparable rupture with the U.S. akin to Germany's rupture with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Germany President Frank-Walter Steinmeier: "This war is also-- and please bear with me when I say this, as someone directly involved-- a politically disastrous mistake. And that's what frustrates me the most. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon."

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently condemned the incompetent Trumpf junta's decision to ease oil sanctions on Russia in an effort to bring down global oil prices. He feared the move will only serve to refill the Kremlin's war chest and sustain Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The leader of Europe's largest economy called the move "wrong."

"We want to ensure that Russia does not exploit the war in Iran to weaken Ukraine," Merz added.

Cram in Larry Ellison, Bibi, Chuck Schumer, Ted Cruz, Felon Musk, Alan Dershowitz, Andrew Cuomo, Lindsey Graham, Pete Hegseth, George Santos, and Marco Rubella before you set the torch.

Yeah why would we take advice from a country that has experience with fascism?
Why would we want to learn from anyone else's mistakes when we can just copy the same mistakes and learn for ourselves?

Talking about laws and legality mean nothing to MAGA unless it's to persecute their perceived foes

"I won't use the word 'war' because they say, if you use the word war, that's maybe not a good thing to do. They don't like the word 'war,' because you're supposed to get approval, so I'll use the word 'military operation,' which is really what it is". - Donald Trump

Don the Con mocks America, Congress and the Constitution and all the beta Republicans step in line or step out of the way. What's that? The Celebrity President is in a lousy mood and wants to stroke his ego? Yes, sir! No need to think of the consequences!

"That's a real good thing you did, Donny, real good."

Trumpy says we have already won the war (that is not a war).

So why are we still talking about it?

The Marines are only being sent in to clean up the trash and the party favors from the big victory party.

Yup, we killed the rule of law and now all that remains is the law of the jungle, and unfortunately for the US, we have one wildly incompetent President leading us into that war.

**** Vatican Secretary of State: "US-Israeli War Against Iran is Not Just" ***

"Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, said that the US-Israeli war on Iran does not meet the Catholic Church's criteria for a just war.

"No, it does not seem to meet the conditions," he told reporters on the sidelines of an academic conference at the Vatican Apostolic Library."

In the US, Cardinal Robert W. McElroy, the archbishop of Washington, stated that the US entry into war with Iran was 'not morally legitimate.'

Hey D-bag, why don't you move to Germany, the country is totally f-ed so you are made for each other.

Of course, you're too stupid to see the POTUS you love is f*&^ing the US far more than any other country will be.

In a year the US and Israel will be global pariahs while China steps into the role of world power.

You'll still be sitting here chirping about how amazing Trump is.

Because you're a f*&^ing idiot.

Oh really? Is germany putting their kids into debt to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich?
Is germany starting wars to distract from their president raping kids with epstein?
Is germany shutting down sources of free energy to protect the oil companies that bribed their president?
