Hey people, I need a quick reality check. You see, I always kinda liked Trump and what he was saying during all of his election campaigns. I don't even disagree with his move on Iran - the way i see it, those fucks had it coming. But lately, he kinda seems erratic to me (not in the good "keep your enemies in the dark" sort of way). Have I lost it or did the man go biden? Note that I'm not an American myself so it all only affects me by proxy, sort of.
@ThatCrazyDude No, we're in the same boat here. Trumps star is falling.
I guess there are two things at play here...
1. He's getting old, and it is starting to show. We must remember that the amount of stress he is experiencing on a daily basis is far, far above what we experience, and at that age. It takes its toll.
2. The upcoming election does not look good. He is therefore getting desprate. He gambled on a quick win in iran, based on erroneous information from israel, in order to go
Again, not worth the gamble in my mind, but I can at least kinda get why he saw the appeal. It also wouldn't surprise me if he's holding out beyond all hope and reason that he might still find a way to pull it off. I would still hate him for the adventure, but again, I can also not deny that a lot would be forgiven by most people if he was able to do it.
@EvilSandmich @h4890 well, technically, he can absolutely pull it off. And that's a fact, not a speculation - he can literally order a nuclear strike on Iran right now and in a few days when the dust settles there would be no one to oppose him over there. It shouldn't even be a question because the US law allows him to do that and the US absolutely has the capability to glass the whole damn Iranian shithole. Not that I'm saying he should do that, of course, but, ya know, I'm just sayin'
@ThatCrazyDude @EvilSandmich He could, but at what cost? It would turn the rest of the world against the US, and would make China and Russia seem like princes of peace. And now we're talking massive nukes naturally, not some kind of surgical strike, which we actually might see in the coming weeks.
@ThatCrazyDude @EvilSandmich Yes, you do have a point. Maybe this is a sign that he has given up?
@h4890 @EvilSandmich all true. But can you honestly say that Trump cares about that stuff at this point? I mean, he had no issues going full blasphemy with his Jesus pics on truth social even though the vast majority of his electorate is Christina. Not that I personally feel offended, of course, being non-american and an atheist on top of that, but still.
