"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.

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

They did. As you noted in #13.

Those bribes, free planes ect weren't out of the goodness of their hearts.

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.

Bribing the biggest imbecile to hold the office of POTUS
Guy is making billions on the backs of American taxpayers. Sounds pretty smart to me.

isn't the same thing as ponying up your own military, hardware and munitions.
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.

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.

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.
Does money=smart? No. He's no genius, but he's far from an imbecile. He's a con artist. Guy should be a used car salesman in any just universe. The fact that people take him for being an idiot is just part of his con-schtick.

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.

Israel is doing what's in their best interest. Do I blame them for wanting the removal of the Iranians who begin and end every meal with "death to the Jews" and orchestrated the October 7th atrocities and been funding terrorist attacks against them for the last 40-50 years? Not really.

It was up to American voters to do what was in our best interests a little over a year ago. And we failed miserably at that. Because trans, DEI, black lady ... just like in 2016.

Trump did what Trump was always going to do. It was clear as day to anyone who was paying attention. I'm just having a good time with it.

In any case, yes, I can and will blame Israel. I'm tired of the US being their mommy that goes out and solves their problems for them because they constantly bite off more than they can chew and arrogantly think they deserve no consequences when they do.

Israel bit off more than they can chew? Ayatollah-Asawhollah ordered terrorists to launch the October 7th attacks to stop Saudi from normalizing relations with Israel.

Then let the gulf states spend their own money and lives to do it.

Seems reasonable! Unfortunately the American people decided it was a good idea to re-elect as prez the most corrupt person to have ever held that office. So no real need for that sort of thing when you can get American aid and lives for pennies on the dollar with a bribe to that same fellow.

This is an illegal war and Trump should be impeached and prosecuted for it.

American people gave him a pass, and a promotion, for leading an insurrection in broad daylight. So the likelihood of any of that coming to pass is ...

"If you're going to be dumb enough to act like this all started on Oct 7 then there's no reason to have a discussion with you.

Of course not. Been going on for thousands of years. That Islamic conquest involved the conquered as well.

But one of those sides was trying to make peace, and the other was trying to stop it.

If you can't acknowledge that basic fact, perhaps the simp shoe is on the other hand?
