In case you're just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.[image or embed]

The United States and Israel have launched an attack on Iran, with explosions heard and seen across Tehran. Several missiles have struck University Street and the Jomhouri area in Tehran, Fars news agency reported.

It's so unfair the decomposing orange chomo has never received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Only one in five Americans supported an attack on Iran.

But Trump did it anyways.

MAGA? Hello, MAGA?

Many of you voted for Trump because he said he wouldn't start any wars. You are a bunch of really gullible, dumb morons.

Now he's started a war after pulling out of a nuclear deal that was verified as working as agreed (with 24/7 cameras to monitor enrichment facilities, inspections, and all) and claimed to be "renegotiating" a replacement deal, seeking essentially the same deal he himself ended.

US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed to continue sending billions of dollars of hardworking American taxpayer funds to Israel and to block any legislation that would be harmful to Israel.

Meanwhile, Israelis enjoy world class universal healthcare while we in the US are dealing with austerity measures in our for-profit healthcare system and the ramifications of the "Big Beautiful Bill" (the 'BBB').

USSECSTATE Marco Rubio, the very definition of an 'Empty Suit,' was vetted for his prestigious and powerful position by none other than mega-oligarch Larry Ellison, based on his fealty to Israel. The good-for-nothing Larry Ellison is close friends with the nefarious ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Sources:

Charles Schumer More Loyal to Israel Than to the US

Who's in charge of America?

Marco Rubio Loyal to Israel

Dummkopf Trumpf, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Russia President Vladimir Putin are all three bloodthirsty warmongers. American candidates from either party that didn't oppose this act of war will not get the vote of the crucial antiwar bloc on the imminent primary election days or Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

How does attacking Iran lower food or pharmacy prices in the US?

How does this attack on Iran, without a Congressional Declaration of War, help a firefighter in California, a school teacher in Brooklyn, a musician in Austin Texas, a homeless person in Michigan, a farmer in Iowa, a biologist in Madison, a GSA police officer in Washington, a patient who can't afford his medical bill in Indiana, a truck driver in Georgia, a dance performer in Las Vegas, a mother of three in Atlanta working two jobs to put food on the table, an auto mechanic in Kansas, or a dentist in Oregon?

How?

Maybe you have a point. But you MAGAts have no problem selling the democracy of Ukraine to a Russian dictator who has murdered over 100,000 of them, and maimed another 500,000 in an unprovoked war of aggression, so where's the consistency?

But asking for logical consistency from a self-declared christian MAGAt who freely admitted to not caring if Trump Epsteined kids on the White House front lawn might be asking for too much.

If Congress does not speak now for the People who are NOT at war with Iran then we are not a representative democracy anymore. We are an aristocracy. A monarchy. A facist dictatorship. With all power vested in the presidency. The President is not authorized by the Constitution to declare war. This is not how our government was designed to function. And it will not end well.

Of course it was. By our own actions. WE DID THAT. We started this snowball rolling.

That was when America (the CIA) helped restore the Shah to power in a 1953 coup, by 1978, in an effort to control the internal affairs of their country. Ever since the U.S. has been seen as struggling to influence the situation, ultimately leading to the Shahs downfall in 1979 and the collapse of any American relationship with Iran.

And our relation to Iran has deteriorated to what it is today. Obama did make a dent into restoring that relationship. Diplomatically. But Trumpy tore it up in spite. The rest is now history. And America has not learned its lesson even yet about messing in the internal politics of other sovereign nations.

Apparently.

It's not whataboutism.

The president of your choice has done his best to undermine western solidarity supporting a democratic government (Ukraine) fighting an existential war of unprovoked aggression by a dictator. And Trump claimed to cut our funding of Ukraine for financial reasons (even though it was pennies on the dollar for the harm we were doing to our second biggest international threat at zero cost of American lives). And now he's going to spend our money on an enemy that is not nearly the same threat to us.

We could easily support both actions. It's only because of Trump that we're doing one and not the other. And it's only because of Trump that you support attacking one while getting in line behind Trump to orally pleasure the other.

Here's a hint: Venezuela had to fall first, before the US attack on Iran. If you don't understand the connection, there's no point in you continuing to pontificate that which you can't possibly understand.

Per Bloomberg TV: Trump gambles new Iran strikes will save flailing MAGA agenda
democraticunderground.com

... The US-Israeli attack on Tehran on Saturday marks a turning point for President Donald Trump, who is wagering that a war - the kind of which he once vowed NOT TO START - will strengthen his second-term agenda.

In a break from his campaign promises to keep the US out of foreign wars, Trump decided to attack - despite what Arab mediators described as significcan progress in nuclear talks with Tehran, and in the face of polling showing MOST Americans oppos fresh military action.

It came less than two months after he order a high-states US military raid inside Venezuela, another signal that his second term has tilted toward muscular intervention abroad.

The Iran strikes are the biggest gamble yet for the US leader, whose approval ratings have plunged in recent weeks, with surveys showing Americans think he is concentrating too much on foreign policy and too litte on the economy. ...
