He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online:
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”
It’s Iran’s terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked…
But I really think he’s getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.
If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.
Man I am so fucking ready for the Nationalist Christians to become huge fucking pariahs as a direct result of all of the idiocy that they’ve been pushing
by then the world may be literally cooked.
Oh boy do I have terrible news about runaway climate change
It was 80 degrees here yesterday and its snowing right now as I type this.
And this is the best our climate will be for the rest of our lives 🙃
we had roughly the same (only with a non-oppressive temperature scale). Last night I had to toss snow onto my driveway so i wouldn’t have a sheet of glare ice where things had previously melted.
Nationalist ChristiansamericansChristian Nationalism (fascism) is on the rise globally.
Because less than a dozen humans with more money than god control the global media.
I know americans aren’t great at understanding the basics of the global political field but calling Christian Nationalism fascism is extra ridiculous
Alright High and Mighty my point with putting fascism in parentheses was mostly to say that what we are dealing with globally is Fascism. Just that where I am it has presented itsself as Christian Nationalism.
Wrapped in the flag carrying a bible and all that.
Its why they are so terrified of James Talarico. Because he is everything they are pretending to be and stands a real chance of breaking the masses illusion that American Christian Nationalists are either Christian or Nationalist.
They are neither. They are fascists only loyal to their leader. Not to their God. Certainly not to their country.
High and Mighty thanks you for providing an explanation, which was definitely needed here.
And fascists have a well established pattern of disguising their ideology as something else.
the OG’s have somewhat given that name a bad reputation.
If they would call it the fascist Party not event he bulk of the awful people who have the same awful views would vote for them.
Not many would say of themselves they are fascists, like assholes won’t say they’re assholes.
That would be too confronting since they know it’s wrong. They choose to delude themselves.
looks like the imperialist childkillers are butthurt.
Quick, more cowarldly downvotes!
The Christian leaders also see their parishioners spending all their money on gas, on the way to church, instead of on tithing.
Waitasec, I’m no expert, but I thought the whole Rapture thing required all the Jewish people to be gathered into one place first. So, they literally require every Jewish person in America to be deported to Israel for their whole process to even begin.
Did I misunderstand something?
He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”
Sure, you fucked up everything, but other countries have to resolve the situation that you created.
It’s Iran’s terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked…
Reminds me of an old cartoon. Teacher is separating two boys who were fighting and says “Billy, who started the fight?” Billy answers “Tommy started it! He hit me back!”
Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon
Well then they haven’t really studied the Bible properly if they think it refers to just Israel, literally. Israel is used frequently as an all encompassing term to refer to the ‘church’ as a whole, so all Christians.
Not specifically the country.
No…
But great job assuming that reading a single comment about it somehow means you know more about it than what the comment contained.
I legitimately only know a handful or so of people that overconfident in themselves.
Not sure why you took that in a hostile manner when no hostility was intended.
It wasn’t really directed at you and I only took a part of the statement (which I’ve heard a lot from different sources) to make that observation.
Edit: A shame that text doesn’t adequately convey tone. No ill will my friend.
What a great rebuttal, a no followed by a condescending insult.
hey POS so I’m banned for writing facts and you blocked me as well?
What a fucking loser.
Nazi bootlicking scumbag
Trump is a moron and so are his supporters. It’s a moron horde.
Never underestimate idiots in large numbers.
5/4ths of them don’t even know math.
It’s almost like he only joined in on the war because Israel was instructing him or something.

Israel may have pushed him but daddy Putin green lit it.
I don’t think every terrible Trump decision can be laid at Putin’s feet.
There are plenty of other folks pulling the strings too.
Putin was in the driver’s seat for Trump’s first term, which is why there was no attack on Iran during that time despite it being stated Republican policy for years (McCain was literally singing about it during the 2008 campaign.)
Putin’s got his hands full this time around, though. Trump will still do him favours whenever he can, but he’s got other handlers with more influence now.
Why would Putin want his proxy state attacked?
Crazy reality when the bare minimum ideal to aim for is not electing senile pedophiles to the most influential position on the planet Earth.
And we miss.
Twice
This reveals how piss poor the planning was the lack of concern for the dead and wounded. Life is cheap under the MAGA fucks.
Senile old pedo rapist “thinks” out loud…
Explain to me who can possibly be stunned at this point that Donald Trump’s a braindead moron who has no idea what’s going on.
Man I sometimes have dreams that everyone suddenly realizes Trump is senile, is removed from office, the US apologizes for what he’s done, pays everything back, presses undo on everything.
Its not too late. Undo America!senile
fun fact: The word “senate” goes back to the same origin than the world “senile”: Both go back to latin “senex” meaning old man.
Make American great again again
Every action I take is with that goal in mind.
We
SHOULDSHOULD NOTSHOULDSHOULD NOTSHOULDSHOULD NOT be at War!-Free Thinking Republicans who Voted for Trump for Peace!
Every so often the truth comes out and it’s shocking AF when it comes from there.
We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double
TIL we produce 4x the amount of oil as any other country.
Verbal diarrhea from a moron who’s nown gone senile.
I dislike hom as much as the next guy but what he meant is very clearly not what the article implies. Baitclick
Reading the article, it sounds to me exactly as the headline implies. So tell me, what did he actually mean then?
Dealing with the strait should be up to Europe and the Middle East. Not about the war.
That the US could live well, while the strait is blocked. He never meant to say “i shouldnt have started the war”
Which is also a delusional statement.
-> start a war with Iran for no reason
-> don’t consult any allies apart from Israel
-> “EU and NATO assistance unnecessary”
-> turns out Iran is prepared and responds
-> “if NATO doesn’t help, the alliance is over”
🤡🤡🤡
“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”
“We have a lot of oil,” said Trump. “We were the number one producer anywhere in the world times two by double, at least double. Now I think it’s much higher than that. But we do it. It’s almost like we do it for habit, but we also do it for some very good allies that we have in the Middle East.”
That does not at all sound like a “probably we shouldn’t be there” statement. It reads more like “some say we shouldn’t but we do it anyways because …”
Like he outright states he’s doing it for Israel and because Israel asked him to and somehow convinced him. He’s not backing down. That’s not what he’s saying there.

I also read it about being a reframing as being a helpful friend and claiming not to have any self-interest
Though it does give him an out to move the troops to Cuba at his whims.
