Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.
Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That’s what we do, right?
Sure pal, yeaaa, like he did with the Ukraine-Russia war right ? The way he lied to everyone and still does, the way he does not say that other people behind him are in charge and not him. Once again the US along with it’s friends does it again!
🤦🏽♂️
ConflictWAR with IranArmed conflict is the legal proper term for war. War is a layman’s expression. Armed conflict has more legal and ethical weight.
I know armed conflict mongering when I see it 🙃
Appreciate the info though friend. Thanks.
No, here war mongering is the correct term. It’s a layman’s expression to denote a particular political attitude that seeks to stir conflict for political gains or profit. It has no legal connotation either. You might be interested on the term war profiteering, a term that doesn’t exist under International Humanitarian Law, but has been discussed for its ethical implications.
Hey Republicans, you can fire him at any point. You can also reign him in at any time. Why aren’t you?
Why would they stop him from doing what they want?
Do you have any idea how much money war brings to the USA?
For rich people specifically, but I’m guessing you were implying that.
yes about 800+billion/year for defense budget. at least close or more than half goes to defense contractors: boeing, raytheon, musk,etc.
We all know how this is gonna go if we go down this path. Ah, the good ol’ days.
You mean the old good old days?
I forgot about those! I totally had some as a kid, you have brought back some memories.
What are those plates on the stand? For some reason I thought they were were a new thing related to signal jamming/disruption - but I must be off if they were used then.
It has nothing to do with us. Trump you are a piece of human shit.
War has always been business.
Pretty insulting to human shit. Not sure what it did to deserve that.
Free Feces From Fascism!

I just realized Elmer Fudd would pronounce Fatwa quite clearly.
The ranting of a senile man with unknown amount of partial control over the military and government .
It is terrifying, especially after he said Tehran should evacuate. He completely freaked out a city the size of New York.
“He wasn’t in control at all”
Cool how the president can just declare war now with no heads up or permission from Congress with no consequences. The democrats sure have gotten fucking quiet these last several weeks
Congress is about 70% Holden Bloodfeasts.
now
Where have you been these last 25 years?
It’s totally the fault of the people with no power! Down with the powerless! Down with the powerless!
It’s always some agreement up top then they complain about Democrats. No complaint about Republicans there, nor their voters, nor the non voters.
Nope- just Democrats. Like clockwork.
They aren’t powerless though. The Republicans only have a slim majority. It would currently take only 4 Republicans in either chamber to kill any legislation (so long as no Dems also flipped).
It never seems to be a problem for Republicans to get in the way of legislation when they’re in the minority.
Because one side is full of turncoats. Many Dems are fake Dems and just wanted to get elected but are actually pretty on par with Republican policies. Because money talks.
The people who could be proposing to impeach like they did last time but are now not? We have even more cause now.
I don’t even think the Democratic party exists anymore, not really… Just crickets
Bold of you to assume that Democrats haven’t been getting rich off the industrial-military complex
When they speak up I’m sure that makes you angry also
When they speak up
So you can openly admit they’re not even bothering to do the bare minimum of speaking out about this stuff, yet still attack anyone who dares criticize them for the very inaction you referred to yourself?
they’ve literally introduced legislation to stop the war
Whoa, I guess we’re all safe and sound then. Time to pack it up and go home.
my point is you’re claiming they’re doing nothing when they’re literally doing what they’re supposed to fucking do
They could mobilize their base for unending mass demonstration and a general strike. Shut down the country until the fascists capitulate.
They won’t. Instead they’ll side with the regime and criticize protesters for being too violent.
They are not in a position to do anything. So regardless of the name of the bill or the intention of it, it’s not going to pass. They don’t have the votes. But they do have enough to stop certain things, so let’s look at that-… Oh, I guess fetterman is… conservative now. 😳 Oopsy-poopsy, and, is that, yep Schumer just capitulated at a critical moment in exchange for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Fair enough, so, what about when they held a super majority. I’ll bet it was a blitz of kick ass legisl-… Wait, NOTHING?!? They did NOTHING??? THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPUNGE THE FILIBUSTER PERMANENTLY, FOR FUCKING EVER, AND THEY DID
###NOTHING - FUCKING GOOSE EGG - “PUT AN EGG IN YOUR SHOE AND BEAT IT” ~DNC
Yeah we did it 🙌 That was a close one brooooooooooo ^^🙄
I’m obviously saying that they do speak up and this same type of commentary gets pissed about that too. They (and apparently you too) want Democrats to pull power out of their ass.
They (and apparently you too) want Democrats to pull power out of their ass.
Why shouldn’t they? That’s exactly what Republicans are doing. These people specifically ran to represent us and they need to act like it.
I believe you failed civics class. Try again?
Oh, good one! Maybe you can send your Civics textbook to Donald Trump and he’ll realize the error of his ways. Great solution to the problem.
Presidents can attack basically anyone under the blanket provisions given for 9/11
The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
Pretty much this. Multiple generations of war TV have pointed this out. MASH has an episode about it for chrissakes.
Americans, if you follow Trump into Iran you’ll officially confirm that you do, indeed, deserve fascism.
It sounds like he’s talking about American technology used by Israel, not about America acting directly.
Apologizer
This guy does not have complete control over anything, including his butt hole, bladder, or mouth. Why does anyone believe a word that slips past those fat painted lips of his is beyond me?!
His GI Joe military birthday parade didn’t go how he wanted, so now he’s going to punish the military by sending them to war. They didn’t goosestep for him. Someone needs to pay.
Yeah, I interpret his statement as “us” having no control and things being a mess and that it’s all fucked.
Sure but what does Iran have to defend itself? Isn’t it mostly outdated tech? It doesn’t sound very difficult to maintain air superiority in that area
And his cultists will have conveniently forgotten about our abandonment of the Kurds during his first term, and suddenly be pro-expansionism again…
