    More terror attacks by the USA. Non-targeted bombing campaigns or operations focused on civilians has never won a war but it has spread misery far and wide. The people leading the war are either out of range or in a bunker deep enough that it might as well be on the other side of the planet. Even if you “glass” major cities, that’s not where the missiles are located.

      Not sleeping?

      Eye strain from constantly checking social media?

      Old age?

      Coke?

      Syphilis?

      High blood pressure from a decades long diet of hamberders?

    There is no negotiation. Iran gave their demands and Trump the narcissist fuckup will never take an L an give those demands.

          Per the article, I suspect you are right. I’m in a uniquely fortunate position, in that I live in a small town, and mostly use a bike for transport. All the same, I like to eat food and am not realistically able to grow all I consume. And I need to replace bike parts now and again. At some point the computer in front of me will need replacement, etc, etc. Sigh.

    They’re taking so long because they know Trump won’t follow through on his threats. This isn’t gping to make them hurry up.

      Trump won’t follow through on his threats.

      He “won’t” because he can’t, but I bet Trump wants to nuke Iran if necessary, he has no moral boundaries and doesn’t give a shit about the human suffering he is causing.
      His only fear is about the possible consequences to himself, and maybe he has even been actively prevented from doing it?

      My guess is that Trump absolutely wants to follow through, but he can’t. Partly because congress won’t allow it, but there may be other reasons, like the military may have finally refused an illegal order?

      Trump is mentally a toddler, and he will go as far as he can, until someone stops him.

      Trump can’t follow through on his threats.

      The US doesnt have the conventional arsenal left to do what he wants, and none of the middle eastern countries(minus Israel) would allow a nuclear attack.

      More accurately they know trump won’t follow through on the negotiations. Trump says he’s going to bomb you, there’s a 50/50 chance he will bomb you. Trump says he’s going to talk peacefully, there’s a 100% chance either the US or Isreal is going to be bombing durring or before the negotiations and during whatever cease fire is negotiated.

        How fucking funny would it be if we wake up tomorrow and Iran has drone struck the white house, similar to how Ukraine did with Russia last year?

        That would be the most unexpected and hilarious ending to Trump I can think of.

          We live in the shit timeline, we don’t get nice things like that. We get undying Trump who lives like another 40 years as president and bullets fly around him like that stupid movie Wanted…

            This isn’t a video game. Iranian drones with the ability to strike the white house wouldn’t be “nice things”.
            Iran aren’t the good guys and war is always shit. No exceptions.

              Who said this is a video game? I want Trump to die plain and simple. Suffering would be a bonus.

              To elaborate, no I don’t want innocent people in the white house to die, but the gist of the initial comment was essentially eluding to trump being killed which was the concept I was supporting.

              War does suck 100% of the time and there are no good guys in this world. Iran, US, or otherwise.

          That would be absolutely terrible.

          Currently, the general US sentiment seems to be that Trump is an internal problem, that you have to deal with.

          An attack on the White House would not be seen as an attack against Trump, it would be seen as an attack against the nation as a whole.

          We have an example of this, look at the approval rating of Bush before and after 9/11, they surged from just barely over 50% to above 90% instantly.

          Now, I don’t expect this huge of a jump with Trump, but I there would absolutely be a huge jump in Trump’s approval ratings after a foreign attack on the White House.

          Plenty of people would see it as their duty to support the president in those times.

        To my knowledge, America is the only country that has yet to undeniably experience economic shock from this war. The rest of the world is already suffering from America’s imperialism. The worse Americans are seeing is slightly inflated gas and goods pricing, which can be brushed off as usual economic waves.

      Sorry, but short attention spans combined with deliberately minimized education levels will ensure that not only are most Americans not ready, but that they will blame whoever has the misfortune to be in charge when the aftereffects of everything Trump has done finally firmly take hold. My fellow Americans morons haven’t a clue what “looking at the big picture” means.
