    God damn America. We’re such fucking scumbags dude. Fuck our imperialism.

    Look forward to further fascist policies domestically now. Anyone against Trump now is going to get labeled an enemy of the state during war time.

    We are so fucking dumb and bloodthirsty. This is just 2003 but somehow with an even dumber president and far far less allies.

    Trump: “TIME FOR PEACE”

    Incredible thing to say after willingly choosing to attack someone. American hypocrisy at its finest.

      Dude on CNN talking about how “now we are looking for Iran to come to the table for diplomacy”. They are really trying to set up concent for further involvement.

      I feel like I’m losing my mind watching all news media. So just a reminder for people.

      Iran attacked no one until they were first attacked by Israel. They literally got attacked by Israel days before a diplomatic talk scheduled with the US. I’m losing my mind over how blatantly our media manufactures concent for war.

          The lies are the same. But we are in a completely different America than 20 years ago. This is the actions of a dying empire. 2003 were the actions of a empire that thought it could never lose.

          The imperialism will be turned inward much much more this time. Fascism needs a war to justify it’s authority domestically.

            The really annoying/stupid part is, there’s a simple and better alternative, but people won’t go for it.

        I just can’t understand how someone can have such low self-awareness. We just seem to have pulled off an attack on Iran that likely dwarfs the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that pulled us into WW2. The idea that anyone would be remotely interested in peace talks after such an attack is just flabbergasting.

          It’s not that. They are forming a narrative for the American public’s concent. It’s not that Trump is dumb. It’s not that the news media is dumb. It’s that they think the American public is dumb (and they are).

          We aren’t at the point of “we are a superior race and need to kill all these Muslims” yet. So we still attempt to justify our absolutely unjustifiable actions. At least to the dumbest people of American. That’s who this is for. No one else.

    The US deserves every bit of blowback that we get for continuing to torment the rest of the world. If this escalates we deserve every single casualty that we incur. I will not celebrate deaths, injuries or damage, but everything that US armed forces and the US people suffer as a result is justified. We will be paying for our unjustified aggression for decades if not forever. I passionately hate this country, our government, both political parties, the prevailing culture and a good number of our stupid people.

      I will. If Americans don’t stop this fast, I’ll move decisively to team “Death to America”.

      Speaking to the United Nations Security Council on Friday, the head of the [International Atomic Energy Agency] once again called for “maximum restraint” in the conflict to avoid further escalation.

      “Armed attack for nuclear facilities should never take place and could result in radioactive releases with great consequences within and beyond boundaries of the state which has been attacked,” said Rafael Grossi, its director general.

      The attacks so far have caused a “sharp degradation to nuclear safety and security in Iran,” he said. “Though they have not so far led to a radiological release affecting the public, there is a danger this could occur.”

      How careful do you suppose they are with targeting?

    China needs to start caring about how these actions from the US are threatening it’s own stability. I don’t want war with China. But there is a point where they will be forced to take actual action to defend their allies. And that’s what the US is banking on. They want world war. This is another step towards that.

      China doesn’t want to make the same mistake as the USSR which is expending geopolitical power to maintain an entire hegemony against the USA. They’re content with making money and don’t spend a lot of energy keeping extreme espionage on every country like the USA does.

      China knows the US will take the military option if confronted, which is to their disadvantage, so they’ll find every alternative path or method.

      Biggest example is Pakistan. Its a massive CPEC project and defense partner, yet the military leadership in charge is basically a US lapdog because China knows if they try to pull the same regime change shenanigans, its just gonna end up like USSR vs USA 2 with a crap ton of proxy wars everywhere.

      I think their longterm goal is to just slowly erode at the global economy. Even if the US owns the regime in the country, a significant portion of money will be going to China. They could choose to eventually use that power to reinforce their allies, but I think that’s still like 20+ years down the line.
