That's not very becoming of an anti-war president, recipient of the exclusive and coveted FIFA peace prize.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Surely the "no new wars" people will stand up against the tyranny of their government.... any day now...

Clarification: I mean the people who said they voted Trump because they bought his convenient "no new wars" lie -- NOT people who actually don't want wars.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

People only like to fight tyranny when its a mossad operation

And the world renowned "Doormat for US Imperialism" prize:

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 week ago

Surely this goes agains the spirit of the noble Fifa Peace Prize.

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is really going to hurt his chances of being nominated for The 7-Eleven Big Gulp© of Peace.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I dunno, Trump knows how to gulp I hear.

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Most peaceful president of the entire history. If you consider that war is peace.

[-] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

War is peace. The chant is simple. Ignorance is strength, The less we know, the less can break us. Freedom is slavery, Choice is a burden kindly removed. Two minutes of hate, A lifetime of calm. The guns speak loudly So the mind can stay quiet. War is peace. Repeat until it is true.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

How's that "peace president" going for you now, MAGAt fuckheads?

This is all a distraction from him RAPING CHILDREN. That nasty old bastard is starting wars just to try to get us to stop focusing on the fact he was mentioned 38-fucking-THOUSAND times in the trumpstein files.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Common mistake, it's "piss president" actually.

Congress not doing its job again and letting the orange toddler invade another country with no consequences.

Bombshell report

I see what you did there, Alex

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 week ago

Some kind of "special operation" then?

"Please stop talking about how I am a child rapist."

-- Trump planning to invade Iran

[-] sleepmode@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

And it’s still getting drowned out by his association with Epstein.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 4 points 1 week ago

When it comes to Iran, I just want the people to be free from their oppressors finally. If the current clown in office is the one who will take all the credit for freeing them from those psychotic freaks in power, then so be it. But who knows when it comes to Trump? He says things and sometimes actions follows, but most of the time he just says shit to confuse and distract people. I cannot wait for the day he leaves politics.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So we are going to "free" Iran again? Pardon me while I go throw up.

[-] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Truly, I too hope that the Nazi pedophile empire bombs Iran, in order to free them. "Them" refers to Israel, specifically. I hope he frees Israel from having any regional opponents. As for the Iranian people, they'll have to pay for opposing America.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 points 1 week ago
[-] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Seems obvious enough to me. What's not to get?

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

First off...

Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Isreal has been beefing with Iran forever and they have the most to gain from destabilizing Iran.

I challenge you to lookup all the times throughout history that Isreal had a problem with Iran's nuclear program.

Also, did you forget the current Iranian government is a reactionary response to the last coup attempted by the US on Iran where the US installed a murderous dictator? Kind of reminiscent of Hussein or Putin.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That may all be true, but I still want the Iranian people to be free from their oppressors.

And if we are going to make excuses for terrible regimes, then we might as well give Israel the same get out of jail free card because the only reason they have become what they have become is because they have been hunted and pushed out of close to every country they have lived in, including the territory that is currently named Israel. They have not been accepted in the middle east and have been attacked since the beginning.

But unlike you I'm not gonna use that history to justify their current behavior and disregard for human life. They are responsible for their war crimes in the same way the regime in Iran is responsible for their crimes and genocide against their own people.

No amount of victimhood on history justifies their conduct and I want the Iranian people to be free.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Would you trade their oppression for an even worse one. Are you fine with America and Israel making the decision like so many nations have done so before.

Iran has had no less than three coups in the 20th century and major powers such as the US have been heavily involved with several regime changes

Are you advocating that this has been good for Iran and it needs a nation to bomb, to invade, and replace their leadership. Do you think they have no right to self determination.

No one is making excuses for their shitty regime with large amounts executions being their most reprehensible actions. Not to mention massive social oppression like what is happening right now.

I don't think that anything positive is going to come from Trump and Netanyahu murdering more innocents. Are we really saying that the only way forward is to allow the US to fuck with their country another time now?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Because wars always, always, always boost support of a President in the USA.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago
[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Reagan, Bush, Bush again..

Also, read more, LBJ was elected again in 64, he choose not to run again and just drink himself to death.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

He was re-elected, but Vietnam decidedly did NOT boost his support - quite the opposite.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

According to Axios, this is why (I'm guessing it's mostly about the oil because he's a moron):

  • Long-running nuclear dispute. The U.S. and Iran have had off-and-on talks about striking a nuclear deal for months.
  • Protester killings
  • He already sent aircraft carriers with threats - Chekhov's aircraft carrier
  • Pressure from Israel
  • The oil factor
  • A sense of regime weakness

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It is 100% Israel.

Attacking Iran would destroy they oil markets.

[-] saimen@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Hmm I thought the main reasons would be that there is a great public support for a regime change right now especially among Iranians and that there is a potential new leader (the son of the Shah) who might provide stability afterwards.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Has trump ever been known to think about that kind of stuff? lmao.

[-] saimen@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Does Trump actually decide anything?

Mediate is just reposting it. Give the original journalists the credit.
