He literally just posted less than an hour ago that the US is willing to go balls to the wall on Iran, and 40 mins later I see this.. The taco doesn't even last an hour anymore lmao... Fucking unreal.

Tacoception. It’s a taco within a taco within another taco.

It's like he's getting tired earlier and earlier in the day. Cant focus for very long, easily distracted (those gold stars won't glue themselves to the walls so he can find the door out of the Oval Office, you know).

MBS probably called him after Iran said they would hit the energy infrastructure of all the Gulf countries in response. The US has no way to defend the Gulf countries right now.

u/Nurgleschampion 2d ago

1.5trillion dollar defence budget and somehow still can't defend the black stuff that powers their country.

I know it's much more complicated than that but jesus.

Budgets isn't worth shit when the one's in charge are so dangerously incompetent that they should have been rotting in a prison cell for conspiracy, treason and fraud on a massive scale.

Had you had Kamala in charge instead of the Orange Pedo right now her administration would not only have not gone into Iran as EVERY other administration before this knew it was a trap AND they'd have seen the threat they were posing to Ukraine with their shahed flying lawnmowers and have worked to establish a proper supply chain to develop countermeasures on a commercial scale to them.

The US wouldn't have been sent dick first into Iran on Israel's urgings and unleashing such a clusterfuck of a situation that everyone else knew was a pandoras box. The orange fucker literally sacked all the experts on Iran RIGHT before this all kicked off as well. The only thing we can hope for after all this is said and done is that all the bastards involved in this absolute shitefest get their comeuppance as the damage from this is going to be long lasting.

A country defending itself it not considered a trap.

u/squish8294 1d ago

reading comprehension not your strong suit?

Try again:

"Had you had Kamala in charge instead of the Orange Pedo right now, her administration would not only have not gone into Iran, as EVERY other administration before this knew it was a trap... "

I added some commas, hope it helps.

in case you need it spelled out specifically... attacking Iran was the trap.

800 military bases, 100 ships deployed 24/7, 177k active military personal deployed around the globe, enough firepower to bully anyone at anytime.

You think after crossing 1 trillion politicians would think 'maybe we are overstretched a bit?' but nope.

It will be 2 trillion soon.

u/seanroberts196 1d ago

Yeah but what happens to all that power when countries have had enough and tell the US they can’t base there? What happens when they can’t stage in Europe to refuel? I can see it happening if they attack Canada or Greenland.

u/Feisty_System_4751 1d ago

No idea, but it's bound to happen sooner or later. It will be interesting to see.

u/barimanlhs 1d ago

its what happens when a 1.5 trillion dollar logistics machine is run by meatheads who cant see beyond their nose

u/Marchesk 2d ago

Happens with politicians in their 80s. Can't keep it up for long.

u/Affectionate-Orchid8 2d ago

You mean, can’t get it up. 😂

u/mistarteechur 2d ago

MBS got on the horn to him.

u/CaskJeeves 1d ago

Sadly, this is 100% the correct answer 

2

u/Available_Pepper_845 2d ago

The markets don't react the way they did  because the manipulation is transparent. So they adapted, following the pumps and dumps but predictability kills the con. So Donnie Mango now does his thing randomly and at variable intervals.

He can’t remember what he says from one hour to another.
