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

[Spandauer]

It ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) Friend only to The Undertaker
(Edwin Starr 1970, written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong)

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

Barstewrds.

And the WHO confirming medical centers too from CNN:

"18 confirmed attacks on healthcare sites in Iran, says WHO
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said it has verified 18 attacks on healthcare centres in Iran since the start of the conflict, which have left eight health workers dead.
Such attacks "not only cost lives but deprive communities
of care when they need it most," the agency said, calling for patients and health workers to be protected under international law."

They are now blaming Iran for being so horrible as to site a school near a military base. Only a truly evil regime would do that, right? They haven't yet got round to explaining why they hit it twice in quick succession.

I think there are at least four schools at Fort Bragg. Schools on US bases are where the children of members of the US forces go to be educated. (Taking money from the forces' education budget to build Trump's vanity wall was a sore point with the military.) USA = truly evil regime?

Come to that, my granddaughter was at day nursery inside the Northwood defence perimeter, guarded, as she cheerfully said, by Gurkhas. Nasty theocratic fascist regime we have in the UK.

They are now blaming Iran for being so horrible as to site a school near a military base. Only a truly evil regime would do that, right? They haven't yet got round to explaining why they hit it twice in quick succession.

Here are three examples of schools located inside U.S. military bases (usually run by the Department of Defense Education Activity – DoDEA).

1. W. T. Sampson Elementary/High School — Guantanamo Bay Naval Base

• Location: Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba
• Grades: Kindergarten – Grade 12
• Operator: DoDEA
• Opened: 1931
• Students: Mostly children of U.S. military and civilian personnel stationed at the base.

This is one of the oldest military-base schools in the DoDEA system.

1. Ramstein High School — Ramstein Air Base

4

• Location: Ramstein Air Base, Germany
• Grades: 9–12
• Operator: DoDEA
• Enrollment: ~860 students
• Purpose: Serves students from the Kaiserslautern Military Community, the largest concentration of U.S. military personnel outside the U.S.

1. Kadena High School — Kadena Air Base

• Location: Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan
• Grades: 9–12
• Opened: 1981
• Operator: DoDEA
• Students: Children of U.S. military families stationed in Okinawa.

Just a few mines to still avoid

Q: Are you encouraging oil company CEOs to use the Strait or Hormuz?

TRUMP: Yeah, I think they should. I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships.

Imagine a word like "mine" featuring so prominently in a Trump quote.

If you are still an atheist by now, you really haven't paid attention.

He has never played minesweeper on windows then ? It's always the last ones that get me.

On a serious note, some sailors missing. But the orange tosser won't care about them.

😳

Only those who want to bomb schools need apply.

I image he’s more than familiar with it as a possessive pronoun.

Those of us living around the coast of the uk will be familiar with just how difficult it is to make sure you have cleared all the mines. I don’t think the mine boats are the problem now. Even in the unlikely event that Trump is telling the truth and all the boats have been destroyed.

Can’t he lead the way - show the sailors and insurance companies how safe it is and also how much grit he has? I’m sure someone could find him a gold boat to sail down the strait, and if it ends up more like his own river Styx so be it- think he’s traversed Lethe a while ago!

Well quite. Lead from the front 💥

The orange fool is winning hearts and minds by blowing up schools full of children?

When is anyone in his vicinity going to take his keys and disable his Wi fi? 😞

Trump and sons

Issue is that they’re not the ‘type’ of children that people like Trump care about. If this was a nice western school full of white children the response would be incredibly different but ‘we’ are happy to other poor brown Muslim girls.

I dont think he cares about anyone.

He gives no fucks about the fallen US servicemen.

Nice family day out Donny?

Q: “You just said it is a little excursion and you said it is a war, so which one is it?”

Trump: “Well, it’s both. It's an excursion that will keep us out of a war. For them, it's a war. For us, it's turned out to be easier than we thought.”

If it was a nice western school full of white children, the response would be the same: has he ever shown the least sorrow after a school shooting? Admittedly those are only counted in the low tens, usually, rather than the hundreds, but the effect is the same. Dead children, oh dear, what a shame, never mind, immigrants blah Democratic critics blah Venezuelan boat strikes blah windmills blah golfing blah Biden

I agree the Orange twat’s response would be the same but I suspect general outrage amongst the population would be very different.

Except it hasn't been, really, at least not among "people like Trump": they assume it is all faked, as Alex Jones has told them, and persecute the parents of the victims, and the survivors. Which of the repulsive female Trumpalikes was it who chased a Parkland survivor down the street heckling him? MTG?

https://abcnews.com/amp/US/fbi-warns-iran-aspired-attack-california-drones-retaliation/story?id=130973820 Well this would bring the war home pretty fucking quick!

Appearing on US gas pumps

California though. Serves them right for voting for Communists etc.

He is a very weird shade of orange today

Highly convenient the threat is against a blue state eh?
