"War, huh, good God, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" - Trump Thread #157

Unless, of course, your name ends in Trump, when it ain't nothing but an opportunity to grift, deflect and destroy.

@RedTagAlan

I can't get my head around how someone can be so full of hate.

I honestly don't think it's hate as we would think of 'hate based on religious fervour'. I think it's an overinflated ego, too much Call of Duty, and being a slavering dog on a leash being held by Scrotus. It wouldn't matter if 'the enemy' was Muslim, Jewish, Zoroastrian, or a different denomination of Christian, he would still be doing and saying the same thing. Because it's not about the 'enemy', it's about feeding his own fragile ego and being loyal to Scrotus.

The loophole they used is that this won't actually be circulated currency. It will be a 'commemorative coin' for the 250th. It's just another way of him managing to 'own' or get his 'brand' on anything and everything he can wrt the US Govt.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't actually suggested that. "I've talked to Keir and he said he will give you the Falklands back if you join 'us'".

If they really do push for new nuke plants, it will be interesting as far as CA goes. Nuclear plants were outlawed in 1976 due to a 'problem' with permanent nuclear waste disposal.

We still have one in operation (Diablo) but it's on an extended lease and scheduled for shut down in 2030.

I think the world needs to create an entire awards event just for him where he can win all of the prizes:

Worst US president
Most likely to start a war
Stupidest President ever
Worst policy maker
Worst decision maker
Most likely to be a paedophile.
Most likely to kidnap and hold hostage other world leaders

Etc.

They may need to be reworded slightly so best president for making quickest decisions with limited information to disrupt the status quo.

The bloke is a fuckwit.

As I said, we need to be energy self-sufficient so we don't have to get involved in these wars. IMO Labour really need to be pushing the renewables and giving the building firms hell for not encouraging it everywhere they build new homes as part of the infastructure.

Hi all, I’m still lurking!

I see the 🍊 toddler is awake.

We got a TRUTH BOMB....

Screen grab attached.

We can play a new game. Trump Truth Scrabble.

Here are your tiles:

Paper

Cowards

Won

Tiger

Nuclear

REMEMBER

Oil.

Make a TRUTH out of that.

Plenty of oil there…

Ah the tantrum came early today. The irony of a draft dodger calling people sensibly avoiding a clusterfuck of a war, cowards…

Wait, didn't he say a few days ago he didn't need help, with ANYTHING? Make up your swiss cheese mind Donald.

He also says in that exact TRUTH that "the fight is militarily won".

So what does he need to help open the SoH ? Bolt cutters ? Lock pickers ?

I have seen American lock pickers on Youtube. They can open anything.

We should have gone 100% nuclear in the 80s.

Lock picking is a very useful skill to quietly acquire with no one knowing.

An awful lock of comms cabinet keys get "lost", and you find it easier to go around than go through ...

Sky :

"Donald Trump has been speaking in short bursts about the Iran war at the White House.

He tells attendees of a trophy presentation ceremony the US is doing "extremely well" in the conflict, claiming there have been "58 ships knocked out in two days".

The Iranian navy also had "great" ships, Trump says, but "the difference was they didn't know how to use them."

Speaking about the US military, including its operations in Venezuela in January, he says: "I didn't think I'd be using it this much, but I'm glad I rebuilt it.""

58 ships in two days. But he sunk them all last week ?

Of course, the truth appears to be that the US is using A10 Warthog planes to attack speed boats and boat drones. Numbers unknown. We (me anyway) are not seeing footage as we got in previous wars. I would have thought if they had sunk 58 ships in two days the in plane footage would be all over the news.

They do it with the Caribbean fishing drug boats. We were getting those vids near weekly.

So the US can't protect them, but Ukraine can ?

I would say Ukraine can help. And learn from it too.

Every drone they hit using their anti drone drones saves a patriot being used.

Also if Russia provides Iran with anything they are not using in Ukraine, it's a heads up for when it is .

Agree. And I am totally happy to admit my skepticism of 2 weeks ago, over what Ukraine could do, was totally misplaced.

I saw a vid on CNN the other day of the US defending it's Baghdad Embassy... with a 40 cal Gatling gun. Against drones. And when I saw a photo of the Embassy in the daylight I was... WTF... there are high rise apt buildings around. And there is the US Military letting loose with a gatling gun. Those poor people in those apartments. And if not those apartments, those 6k rounds per min bursts are gonna hit something.

The Gung Ho's just do not care.

2026 - Trump says ‘Nato is a paper tiger’

2025 -

As was mentioned yesterday re Greenland, it's on Sky now.

Denmark sent explosives to blow up Greenland runways amid Trump invasion threat | World News | Sky News

The way the WH lunatic is going, he might end up testing that paper tiger thing,

Trump saying words again.
Iran has no army, navy, air force or air defence left (who is shooting at the surrounding countries then?).

He wants China involved as they get most of their energy from oil that moves through the strait.

America doesn't need the oil so they are not going to clean up their mess in the strait, instead, fuckwit wants the world to clean up behind him and put their troops at risk by getting involved in Trumps war.

He said getting ships through the straight is real easy, but he won't put his troops at risk even though the war is won and there is noone in Iran to fire at them.

Fucking tosser.

@littledrummergirl You forgot the bit today, where he said that the US had already won the war and Iran is just clogging up the SoH.🙄

re Ukraine...

back in 1991 the russians took the opportunity to brutally attack the baltic states whilst US (and others) were busy in Kuwait

FFS. Wonder what the next step of allowing the US to use U.K. bases will be. And let’s face it we only have the word of Trump on what these planes will be used for and that doesn’t count for much.
