Let's see if it happens three times, just to be sure.

I think a big part no one talks about, is all these old men are on gender affirming hormone care because their physical identity doesn't match their mental identity.

They want to be 20 again, so they're shooting up enough testorone that they have the logic and critical thinking of a 20 year old.

The alcoholism isn't helping, but that's not where the bloodlust is coming from.

I've had a couple friends try, and I honestly don't know why anyone over 40 would ever want to feel 20 again. They all love if for like 6-12 months, before they realize acting like they're 20 again isn't a good thing and it's fucking their lives up.

When the people running the country are on it, they're fucking all our lives up, the alcoholism is why Hegsworth can't come that realization on his own, or listen to anyone telling him.

Now I'm hearing that the commanders all gave their troops a speech about doing this for God and Christianity, etc., so it seems like the primary motivation was to kick off the End Times for the religious freaks.

So we're in it until The Rapture. Our entire world has to burn down to satisfy the fantasies of delusional religious weirdos, so the Sociopathic Oligarchs can comb through the rubble for treasure.

How about we just Rapture the entire MAGA leadership, and move on?

He just wasn’t getting that same high exploding South American fishermen anymore.

Tolerance is a hell of a drug.

"Democracy" and "nation building" is just "occupation" by another name. So I guess we can take some comfort in that not being their goal?

I have a feeling it's as simple as wanting to use all the toys they've spent trillions on over the years and just want to see big explosions and play war.

Imagine if our society provided taxpayer funded paintball/airsoft/bomb ranges so all these warmongers can get their rocks off without hurting people.

Also, bold move to more or less openly defy the American ideals. The moral justification for a lot of what we've done is to further the cause of democracy. I don't think starting a war to bring democracy is necessarily the right decision, but starting a war and not even trying to spread democracy with it is un-American (derogatory)

The goal is not to make Bush's mistake of setting a goal that they can later be held accountable to.

Balkanization I think, but I don’t think that will happen because Iran has been a pretty cohesive country for thousands of years. So I suspect Trump will back down, or there will be a multi decade regional war, or there will be a world war.

"real man" cosplay.

Blow shit up so Iran can't attack back for the next generation.

Definitely. He has to be sharp and focused while making terrible decisions.

Why do these assholes get to do all the good drugs?

At what point do you suspect he's going to switch to meth like his idols?

Gotta ride that cocaethylene train

Ha. "Fun".

I got some news about military leadership for the last 500 years.

For whom?

Europe most probably. This will strenghten right wing parties and weaken thr union... win-win. While the majority of EU is licking US boots after they started a war of agression against a sovereign nation with little to no justification of any kind... I'm tired Boss.

Macciavellian? Are you serious? Macchiavelli said you can be a cruel asshole, but the one thing you cannot be is unpredictable. Old Mac would have given this US government a 2/10 score.

They already have. I met a new neighbor last week, he asked what I did for a living and I mentioned my military background, and the guy said explicitly "I hope we go over there and destroy the whole place, nuke it even."

Of course it was a 60+ year old white guy with a high-school education that worked blue-collar his entire life.

I have seen video of so called “counter protestors” wearing MIGA hats, which I assume is Make Iran Great Again. I’m not sure how representative of the Iranian immigrant population this is, but it’s starting to remind me of why so many Cuban immigrants vote Republican because of their relationship with their original country.

The child that pulled wings off of flies.

I’m surprised he doesn’t consider the title ‘secretary’ to be to feminine

only if he wears tasteful pumps.
