    I thought it was by announcing that it's up to a bunch of other countries to finish the war that you started with no consultation or rational thought.

    It's also known as "War Crimes" to attack civilian infrastructure.

    That was a ghost written tweet. Trump has tweeeted some stupid shit before but he’s never tweeted like that

    great question I don’t know. Probably someone like Vance or someone who works for Vance. But who knows. Trumps being lead around by Netanyahu, maybe someone from his team wrote it

    Some big signs it wasn’t Trump in that tweet

    -it was short. He’s never, ever, ever brief
    -it wasn’t about him
    -it gives away our plan of attack, he doesn’t do that
    - the sarcastic “allah” thing touches on religious war ambitions. Trump is an atheist he doesn’t do that



    idk if he’s been letting people tweet for him for a while or if this is a recent thing but either way they are getting sloppy. AI could do a better job emulating trumps tweets on the situation in Iran

    US should have a law preventing anybody above the age of 65 run for Presidency. First Biden now Trump. We need younger, agile Presidents

    I'm not sure that age matters all that much to me in this situation. I'd like to start with the president not being one of the worst people in the planet, who openly admires the dictators of the world and acts overtly like a criminal.

    A president can be elected as young as 35 years - it's not the laws that are keeping vibrant people away from the White House, it's the current political system and the old boy network of the wealthy.

    He’s directly threatening civilian infrastructure, in an unhinged post. I’m not sure how anyone can support this , or him at this point. If he were to go through with it, it’s a war crime. It’s time that everyone everywhere start acknowledging what’s wrong and stop insisting on dying on some hill , just to “get the libs”. The goal posts have got to be getting heavy by now.


    It’s amazing how much we have gone through to fight wars against terrorism, yet at the same time seem to be the master cultivators. What’s been done to Iran, Lebanon and Gaza in recent years, is most likely paving a tough road for the next generation. But then again , war is business , so maybe that’s the goal.

    I think unless he denounces it, and it was hijacked, he’s responsible just as much as if he typed it himself

    apparently you first need to make sure your family and political benefactors have secured military contracts, and prior knowledge to handle stock & commodities futures holdings / sales

    I've always said it 35 is the floor, 75 needs to be the cap. That's 40 years of opportunity to be president.

    1. Militaries use bridges and power plants, so it's not a war crime, and

    2. Making life as miserable as possible for the civilian population is how you win wars. IDGAF if it's a war crime or not. That's how you win wars; ask Japan. Wars do not end because a military has been defeated. Wars end when the civilian populace rises up and forces their own military to admit defeat. That we have traditionally not destroyed primarily-civilian infrastructure during wars over the last 70 years is exactly why we haven't won any wars over the last 70 years.

    I couldn't disagree stronger. I think attacking civilians is how you LOSE a war.

    If Iran ever had a regime change we'd want them to change to something favorable to the United States. And war crimes, blowing up civilians, whatever, gets us farther to that goal. We are going to create a populace that HATES Americans and that will likely screw us up for decades to come
