Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Gulf Arab states are telling the US that any deal with Tehran should do more than end the war, and must permanently curb Iran's missile and drone capabilities and ensure global energy supplies are never again "weaponized," four Gulf sources said.

---- That.

Israel Should be Bitch Slapped for Mass Murder, Crimes against Humanity, Waging Aggressive War.

Iran should receive Reparations for being Unjustly Attacked by Multiple Criminal Attackers while "Negotiations" were supposedly Ongoing.

Perfidy and Murder are War Crimes.

The US is also Criminal in this War.

The ICC should induct Trump and Hegseth.

Netanyahu and Israel Katz as well.

Lock Em' Up.

"Gulf states say Iran must be [Trump is Putin's] [------] slapped"

Other than the terrorist-sympathizers (of which there are many on this site), very few people are saying that Iran deserves anything but.

The question is whether our pedo-in-chief has set the stage to make that possible. And there's the little matter of cost, both militarily and financially. You know, the stuff that made MAGAts give themselves a concussion nodding their heads in agreement as Trump sabotaged Ukraine as they dropped to their knees for Putin a little over a year ago. Except this time it's real, as Trump demands $200 billion more and expends weapons we actually need for our defense, as opposed to the far lower annual aid we were giving Ukraine, much of which was military hardware that was getting to end-of-life.

At least the public's perception that Trump's War is an effup of staggering proportion is spreading faster than a similar view took hold when it came to Vietnam.

Perhaps (one hopes) it's getting more difficult to fool more of the people more of the time. Could it have been the commander-in-chief appearing in the middle of the night to croak out his war cry while wearing a cap he happens to be selling that whispered: "Plan? I don't need no steenkin plan."

Everything Trump touches gets ensheetified. It's just the way of things. And this war - he likes to call it a "maneuver" (one he and his kids are - sooprise! - missing out on) - is no different.

"Gulf Arab states are telling the US"

So Republicans want America taking orders from Gulf Arabs.

America First, For Gulf Arabs!

How much might Saudi Arabia need to "donate" to Mr Kushner's investment funds in order possibly to make Pres Trump following their bidding?

F*&^ them. If that's what they want, they should step up and spend the blood and treasure to do so.

And f*&^ MAGA for mindlessly walking right back into this s*&^ again.

Hardly you stupid pile of s*&^.

Why else do you think we're doing this? Those bribes, free planes ect weren't out of the goodness of their hearts.

Based on nothing but history since 1950, it's the U.S. that needs to be "------------", you drooling imbecile.

They did. As you noted in #13.

They were just very efficient about it. Taxpayers cough up a couple hundred billion dollars for this war and Trump gets a couple billion from the Gulf states.

Now Lewzer is going to "obliterate" Iran's energy infrastructure if they don't make a deal "soon". I assume that "soon" means, "in a couple of weeks".

Bribing the biggest imbecile to hold the office of POTUS isn't the same thing as ponying up your own military, hardware and munitions.

But then again, you already knew that and only have flippant bulls*&^ answers for this topic because in the end it's all for the benefit of your big Daddy Bibi.

The world has placed Iran at or near the top of their list of threats to humanity for at least the past 30 years.

That doesn't mean I'm a supporter of what we're doing....it's just a reminder of how the world has viewed Iran for a long long time.

And?

If that's true, then the world should pony up and do something about it, not hiding behind the US's skirts like Israel.

I completely agree. When it comes to so many of these situations...the US is expected to handle it while countries watch.

Guy is making billions on the backs of American taxpayers. Sounds pretty smart to me.

You are correct. But it's the result that matters to the Gulf States. Not whether Americans are on the hook for generations or it brings about the end of our superpower status.

My big daddy? Lol! Yes, blame it all on the Jews. Because the Gulf states pushing this are .... Jewish.

And don't for a moment blame the GOP/MAGAts that enable it and refuse to hold Trump to account. Or the American voters who re-elected the POS adjudicated rapist, 34-time convicted felon, child-Espteining, insurrectionist.

You're an idiot if you think money equates to smarts.

I did nothing of the sort. In fact, saying this in a conversation where we're discussing gulf states bribing Trump to do their dirty work is rather foolish.

But, like the Israel simp you are, you of course want to place blame on every other supporting actor than the main who pushed Trump into joining this war. That fact is documented.
