If Iran were to destroy Mar A Lago, I think we could let it slide.

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

I unconditionally surrender all of Florida on behalf of the usa.

[-] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Bezos and his ilk that fled there can go with it

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

Let it slide? No. Medals would need to be given out.

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Even if it's a target that's not widely popular, it will be used to push policies that hurt the people of the US more.

That's how we got the patriot act.

They can have all of Florida as far as I'm concerned.

False flag attacks are coming. Mark my words.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

Probably also "Iranian election interference" and a need to federalize elections so Trump can avoid the inevitable in November.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Remember, Trump needs enough reason to cancel elections....

Trump is just trying to bring more people onto the side of supporting his illegal war on Iran by proposing an unrealistic risk of danger to the U.S.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

A danger that he totally incited in the first place by being a bloodthirty moron.

[-] Triumph@fedia.io 10 points 2 weeks ago

He's trying to do "wag the dog" without a dog.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Is that because Noem murdered it?

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

~~bloodthirsty moron~~ Slave to Israel

Bibi said "Kill" and he said "how many?" We surely know who's calling the shots here, right?

[-] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Survey says... Our number one answer!!

[-] BScPsych@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

I say he is preparing the people for an ‘act of terror by Iran’, meaning there is going to be a false flag incident. He can then use that to claim war powers and dismantle the last sliver of US-American democracy.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

That’s a bingo

Why would this be a shock to anyone? He let hundreds of thousands of Americans die to covid.

[-] AmbientDread@piefed.social 19 points 2 weeks ago

Incoming. One Trump Sponsored false flag act of terrorism coming up.

Hilarious watching them push "this isn't a war" over and over again just for Trump to constantly call it a war.

real farquaad energy here

The follow-up is, "Why?"

[-] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Some people say they want a terror attack, to get emergency declarations and steal the midterms. I just hope this is not true. A lot of innocent people would die for few remain in power. I don’t know what to believe anymore.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

Fascists are in power. That's enough to believe in while you go look for historical examples of fascists being peacefully voted out of office. That ought to keep you busy until oh, his fourth term.

[-] xenomor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

We attacked them. Iran should retaliate on US soil. If they do, blame the trump administration and is its cuckold fetish for Israel.

I hope this acceptable risk becomes him.

Like a certain Charles Kirk

[-] 0li0li@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Charlie who? Never heard that name before. Must not have done anything important in their life.

"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make"

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

Let’s just put this out there. If Iranian cells want to hurt Republicans? I won’t bat an eye. Just don’t hurt non-Republicans. You two can have it out.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I guess. I mean IDK LOL.

[-] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You first, dick head

[-] BigMilk13@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I would like to get off the ride, now, please.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There is a lot of talk on foreign news sites that way more U.S soldiers have been killed. All U.S bases in Iran were bombed. Yet only 6 U.S people killed?

That's not how that works.

Mexico and India news says reports were around 500-600 U.S troops.

Gop hiding it so it's not so obvious to us how much they fucked up so that Congress won't be as pressured to stop them. If the American people knew it was 500 casualties already from poor strategy, there would be more outrage.

Considering that the current administration lies about literally everything, I'll trust foreign news more.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Naaah. That’s fanciful tabloidism.

Bases are large. They have hardened bunkers. Iranian missiles and drones are crude. Anyone non-essential would have been evacuated before this all started.

Hundreds - even dozens would be impossible to keep quiet.

duno 500 seams high.

Iranian missiles/drones are not very precise, and they take a while to get there, usualy enough warning time to run from a exposted position to the next bunker.

US bases are huge, just cuz something impacts somewhere on it dosent mean a human is nearby.

I kinda doubt they could even hide 500 dead, even if they tryed.

Iran will attack US soil or the gov will do it themselves as justification to cancel the mid-terms

[-] Major_Tsiom@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

HE should fucking die. I hope they kidnap him and torture the fuck out of him.
