I am very worried. This will not go well. And would play into his being a "war president " just prior to the election.

For the first time, a US president has classified the legal justification for taking publicly acknowledged actions

[image] “Killing Syrians is good, but you should have asked for permission first”. The hashtag resistance are completely fucking useless. The second that Donnie orders an invasion of somewhere, they’ll all shift into “support our troops” mode while they whinge about how the Trumpists are mismanaging the invasion. The USA has no antiwar party. Militarism and imperialism are baked into the bedrock of modern America.

Man…I liked the post, but I don’t “like” the post…I agree, it’s all starting to look a little pre-post-apocalyptic.

Iran says it's 'ready for war' after US military confirms it shot down...

Here we go. Buckle up friends, it’s gonna get bumpy.

Fucking insane.

“create conditions for decisive victory” what? Like uninhabitable radioactive wastelands? Good job, you’re the winner. And your prize is fucking nothing of value anymore.

Trump on the downing of the drone by Iran:

“We have it all documented,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “It’s documented scientifically, not just words.”

Just as in Iraq, children will die, American lives will be lost, and the world will be less safe

The reality tv presidency at work folks. “Will 150 people die? Tune back into Fox News after the commercial break to find out.”

This said by a guy who wants to use so called mini-nukes.

“A limited number of low-yield nuclear weapons provides the president with an option where we can say, ‘If the Russians attacked us with a low-yield nuclear weapon, we have an option to reply in kind that is inherently de-escalatory and stabilizing,’” (Gen Silva) said.

It’s like Dr. Strangelove IRL.
