Trump doesn't care about AMERICANS.
Why the Fuck would he care about Iranians?
I Smell BS all over this.
By what Authority does the US police Iran?
When will we start policing Israel?
How would it go over here if Russia or China began policing US?
Asking for a Friend.

Donald Trump, his personal enablers, and MAGA are the most unserious people in the world.
They are weenies in the face of reality and have already gotten millions killed because of it, here and abroad.

"Why the Fuck would he care about Iranians?"
Of course he doesn't. But Trump's thirst for attention is bottomless, bottomless, bottomless.

By my count, Donald Trump has bombed three countries in less than a year.
When he discovers that there are 192 nations in the world, we're in trouble.

It's actually the "Golden" Age of Chaos.

Because he knows the end is near and when the Israeli's go in guns a blazing he can take credit, duh.
The fall of Iran is a GREAT thing for the world. Persians have been trying to throw off the yoke of Islam for decades. The Middle East is moving towards Western ideologies. All the while the west is replacing its main religions with Islam.
China and Russia are shipping people out as we speak.
Incredible. Turn of events really.
Islam is incompatible with Western ideology, yet I see Lumpers defend it endlessly, idiots you aren't Liberals at all but authoritarians.

Islam Hates Banking and Compound interest.
That's why the West fears them.
Jews Love that shit,that's why the West "Loves" them.
It's about Money and Control of Resources.
Not Human Rights.
Is Iraq better off since the Invasion?
Saddam is Gone, Iraq is a Fractured Shell.
Winning.
Anybody who thinks the Western leadership cares about Iranians is Deluded or Lying.
They care about Stealing or Controlling the sale and profits from natural resources.
Period.
The rest is just BS for the consumption of Fools.
Iran also has a formidable Ballistic Missile Deterrent that keeps Israel from having a free hand in the ME.
Israel wants War Now.
Time Ain't on their side.
At All.
They know it Too.

Let me get this straight...In Florida, Ron DeSantis' administration routed $10 million in Medicaid settlement money to a nonprofit tied to his wife, Casey DeSantis - money that then flowed into political groups aligned with the governor. That's not a paperwork error. That's a pipeline. Funny how suddenly "fraud" is a five-alarm fire in Minnesota. But in Florida? No worries...you're good.

#8 onepigironsmoothbrainaut says that the fall of Iran would be great for the world.
That's almost verbatim from what the Bush2 administration said about Iraq.
A few trillion American dollars (and millions of dead) later, just how did that little adventure work out?
