... That's a veiled threat, huh?

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Veiled threat? We're unilaterally carpet bombing them! OP how do you accommodate this kind of propaganda in your media diet? I could never tolerate it.

Lol would be so funny if they fucked up his golf courses

Don't give in to the threats, Dear Leader, be out in the open as publicly and vulnerably as possible. If you show fear instead of living your life as normal then the terrorists win^TM^! You should definitely take zero precautions against these threats, you certainly won't regret taking zero precautions against these threats.

Yes, please show our lack of fear and strength by delivering a fiery speech from a nice ocean beachfront location.

Conveniently right on the coast, no need to go far inland!

It'd be like Iron Man 3, but waaaay easier. Y'know hypothetically...

I'd say "They can bill me!"

But we're all getting billed either way. =\

I want to buy a telescoping flag pole. Forget half mast, I want to be able to fly flags at double mast when someone particularly wicked dies.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Trump is just a sock of shame for the ruling elites, and could be easily discarded, were it not for his distasteful utility.

[-] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 98 points 2 days ago

Wait... Are we all rooting for Iran now?

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

It's possible to want both "sides" to lose

Dear God somebody needs to take him out. So far it's been all the Republicans taking shots at him and fucking showing up on his properties with guns. They need some backup.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hey Fates, are you listening? Can we just make the Caesar metaphor completely on the hose and have him be stabbed to death by a group of Republican Senators?

[-] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 62 points 2 days ago

Oh man, if Iran kills Trump I would be so happy.

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago

It'd cause a huge amount of trouble, and many people would die

But I'd still pop a bottle of champagne I've been saving

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

I feel comfortable saying I believe it would solve MANY more problems than it would cause.

How about this, we root for the Islamic regime of Iran to fall. And we root for Trump to have a massive heart attack and shit himself once again on TV while walking across the stage or maybe down the stairs of Air Force One so he's remembered as the jackass that died on TV.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 1 day ago

Trump dies in an Iranian attack, instant martyr.

Trump dies the most embarrassing way possible, not a martyr.

[-] amgine@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I’m sure it’ll turn into a right wing conspiracy where he didn’t actually die or was staged and he’s living with Epstein in Israel

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Can we go for something more Biblical? Maybe struck by lightning immediately after, in an outdoor public speech, denying having any involvement with Epstein?

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Why do you want the Islamic regime of Iran to fall and what do you expect takes it's place?

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Any government based in religion is idiotic and deserves to fall.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Fall from within is one thing. Being toppled externally is another entirely.

Governments don't actually get toppled by mobs of protesters storming the palace gates. Machine guns are quite effective at preventing that. They topple when some other individual or faction convinces enough key players in the country that the new guys are a better option. The protesters only storm the gates when the army decides to look the other way. And the army only decides to look the other way when there's some viable alternative to the existing government. No high-ranking general with a retirement to worry about wants to see the state they serve collapse into complete anarchy.

The point of this is that internal revolutions tend to be good for their people. A revolutionary movement can only successfully topple a government when they can make a good case to a lot of powerful people that they can competently manage the gears of state.

But imposed from without? You can invade a place and stick someone on the throne, but they won't have any legitimacy. And that power and legitimacy vacuum leads to sectarian violence and civil wars. Or, as in the case of the Shah, the foreign-imposed leader maintains their position through shear force and barbarity.

[-] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Homie, they fucking hang people in the street as part of public executions. Do I really need to continue or is this the hill we die on?

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Are you looking to reintroduce slave markets like Libya?

[-] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Sounds like a terrible idea.

[-] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Who are you to police another country in another part of the world? You shoot citizens in the street for looking at officers funny and have thrown out decades of progress to make a few guys filthy rich. You don't get a say in the affairs of others.

[-] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Full disclosure I don't agree with the US doing any of this, I'm Canadian and even Carneys supporting of the US right now means I'll never vote for him again. That being said, I 100% support a grassroots overthrow by Iranians of their own fucking repressive government. Something they've been working on by the past few months in massive protests. I stand with the people of Iran, not fucking religious lunatics in their government.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I mean, that's what they said about Saddam. And then Iraq had a million dead over the next decade...and ISIS.

This sounds like something Trump would say, actually.

[-] dominic.borcea@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago

Trump is 100000000000000% more likely to die from eating yet another McBurger in the next 24hrs than he's to be assassinated by the Islamic Regime from now to the end of his natural lifespan.
Also, to people who'd view that as a positive because hurr durr Trump (I get it): that would lead to President Vance with a mandate to wage a war of revenge. The whole political discussion would suddenly shift from all the damage that Trump has done to USA, to destroying Iran, with a high possibility of giving more strength to republicans.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

I see it claimed that Vance would be worse a lot, but he doesn't even remotely have what it takes to be a cult leader, which is all the GOP is now. The power vacuum could only be a good thing.
