In comments to NBC News, US presidents also deflates hope of deal with Tehran, saying ‘terms aren’t good enough’
You must log in or # to comment.
So, obviously he’s lying, either about the address of the earlier strikes or about the intention to keep hitting the island.
But just consider how fucking bad this lie is. Like, if we actually take him at his word, what he’s saying is that he will literally put pilots in harm’s way, and kill and maim Iranians, as well as wasting a lot of money, just for his entertainment. That’s your commander in chief, America, proudly declaring that he would happily sacrifice human lives just for “fun”.
Honestly, assuming that he’s lying is actually being kind to him at this point.
That escalator could have been a national hero. A couple sudden starts and stops coulda seen the us being led by a vegetable rather than a facist rotting apricot.
President, strike thyself.
Man’s evil has no end
That’s a war crime, and a president should receive a 10 years prison sentence just for saying it.
Americans have made themselves exempt from war crimes. Not surprisingly all (?) recent Presidents have committed war crimes at some time or another.
let’s get with reality here. he’s never going to see the inside of a prison cell.
he’s going to die before anything happens.
He’d flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia before seeing any jail time in the US – not that I expect any of those outcomes. Just as a point of interest: Idi Amin lived the remainder of his syphilis-ridden life in Saudi Arabia after he was deposed in Uganda.
That was a long time ago. The current trend is to imprison corrupt dictators, if they last that long, and if some Putz doesn’t come along and pardon them.

The current trend is to let them keep golfing and selling their merch.
Wouldn’t that hurt China?
Iran will then take out Saudi oil infrastructure just for fun.
I guess that’s one way to force the planet off oil. A very needlessly painful way, but a way.
I wonder if Trump is quietly investing in Chinese EV companies on the side.
Does he need to?
You can make money betting for or against something in our ultra-capitalist system.
He can definitely make money from that since he can cause these changed.And BTW do you know how much oil companies have invested in green economy?
you are being delusional; consumers will just pay twice the price to buy oil from russia
Thanks for the insult, I feel much better now
no pb, have a nice evening
That would be super fucking stupid. No better way to make sure Iran mines the strait. Right now they still need it to export oil. You know the orange one’s advisors explained this to him because they didn’t target the oil infrastructure on the first bombardment, but he’s like Chekov’s dumbass: Any bad idea put in his head in the first act must be acted upon by the third.
It would prevent Iran from mining the straight for weeks, maybe months, because the gulf would be on fire for a while.
i don’t think you even looked at a map before posting these nonsense
You are paying taxes so that this man can have fun
We always have been. The 1st time there were people who would say no and explain why. Now we have “yes men” just agreeing with every smooth, mushy -brained idea that come out
Trump hikes Americans’ (Democrats and Republicans alike) cost of living “just for fun”.
He’ll just lie to his cult and tell them that gas is under $2 a gallon…like he’s been doing for months…they’ll believe him and continue to support him - even as they pay over $3 at the pump - “it MUST be $2 SOMEWHERE…duh president wouldn’t, lie - he’s a gud Christian man!” It’s back over $3 a gallon in Charlotte, NC and we’re considered relatively cheap here. The economy has NEVER gotten better, but ask any Republicans and they’ll tell you how wonderful life is under Rump!
And food prices have been reduced by 800 to 1200% - yeah, that’s the ticket.
Your fuel is ridiculously cheap.
Nice to hear that gas still costs nothing in US.
Americans (and the rest of the world)
Translation : because he is desparate
Trump disrupts international oil markets ‘just for fun’.
The fact that people die on-site is likely the worse part. Unless a rising oil price causes people to die elsewhere.
Actually by pricing food and drugs out of reach and bad economy shedding jobs – yes, that is exactly what happens
The next article I’d love to read is entitled “Blood clot disrupts circulatory system of tangerine wannabe dictator ‘for fun’; Trump dead at 79”
Im hoping for something more…painful. But Beggars cant be choosers i suppose.
Don’t give me hope.
Own goal, like most of the things this administration does
Trump is making an excellent case for investing far more into renewables and phasing out oil, at least for energy
Something that I would have said was obvious for decades, that renewables is a matter of national security almost, but you know, people are stubborn
I remember these discussions being had in the 90’s, and the excuse was always: “But it’ll cost a lot and take decades.”
And now here we are. Decades.
ok sure lots of people would suffer and die but driving what’s left of the oil market deeper into the crater to the benefit of absolutely nobody would be pretty funny
Yeah, fuck the oil market!
sure, I agree in the abstract, but in practice, blowing up Kharg Island would be an unprecedented ecological disaster, as well as guaranteeing the strait of Hormuz can’t be reopened any time over the next however long it’d take to clean up.
Unfortunately, the global economy is extremely dependent on the use of oil for shipping, including for food, medicines and the machinery required to make a modern life livable, so like I said, lots of people would suffer and die for no good reason if this were to actually happen. So yeah, it probably will, given this timeline.
