They called it "defense" while bombing the world, and now it’s the Department of War with Chicago as its first target. The imperial boomerang is finishing its return trajectory.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Keep doing nothing you useless sack of shit
He wishes he looked anything close to that ai photo haha
Trump is 79 years old
This is twitter,
Trump is showing how weak he is. Also, this is distraction from all his failed policies and the Epstein files lol
Is that a confederate hat the ai Trump is wearing this is also probably race baiting culture war stuff
The real question is whether he enjoys the smell of his fucking diaper in the morning
Gottem.
So Trump is going to declare war on Chicago? Wild shit
Chicago should secede, nice enough flag to rally around
☝️the president can't declare war 🤓
I'm gonna be honest, I never thought the truth of Imperial Boomerang Theory would manifest in such a cartoonish way
Not to do this but like, Mussolini
One dream that keeps me going is hoping that this ends similarly inverted 
That does tend to be the outcome for fascists
Imagine the fucking outrage if Obama said the same thing and sent the US army and went scorched earth on Harrison Arkansas.
The chuds spent eight years sure that Operation Jade Helm would be enacted any day 
The boomerang be arcing back.
Trump signed an executive order Friday authorizing the Department of War as a secondary title for the Department of Defense in a move that he said sends “a message of strength.”
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
They didn't change the name? They "authorized" a "secondary title"?
Department of Defense: The Department of War
Department of Defense: The Department of War (feat. Pete Hegseth)
Changing all the signs and stuff would probably be too much of a hassle and this was cheaper lol
He's not allowed to actually change the name; congress has to.
Quoting Apocalypse Now as if it was pro napalm is just amazing
Remembering the time he had a meeting with Veterans for Trump or something similar and got in an argument with all these old chuds because he insisted napalm and agent orange were the same thing
completely unhinged president
This is concerning
This is the very beginning of america's punishment for the iraq war
One way out.
We live in the pit of hell
Damn we got the Ministry of Love before GTA 6
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
