Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Uhuh... how did that go with Lebanon? Or Syria? Or Judea-Samaria? Or the UAE when they assassinated leaders? Or Iran? If I recall correctly, Trump told them to 'Fucking not.' and said he will decide and Netanyahu ignored him and went ahead to do it anyways. What is he going to do? Invade a nuclearly-armed chemical weapons-armed country with second-strike capabilities and an Intelligence Agency proven they are willing strike in the West? It is frankly pathetic Trump thinks he can do anything to stop them. Especially when Russia would flip on a dime to take over for the State of Israel in the United Nations if the United States of America truly went against them because Russia only cares about power, not neccessarily who is their ally. Trump speaks a big game and then cannot back it up. Is he strong? That depends if you think bombing countries into oblivion and back is strong. Is he actually able to project power? HAH! Russia, China, India, Israel, and the European Union walks all over him and laughs at him not only behind closed doors, but to his face! He could not even stop the war in Ukraine, could not stop the war in Gaza, could not stop China projecting power further into Europe and posturing against Taipei, and could not tariff India into submission as he realised they are too large and powerful to be blackmailed into submission. All he can do is mess with United Kingdom because Starmer is a weak coward who cannot stand up to Trump and is bullied into submission. Trump cannot even keep his 'most important promises', much less call the shots for a nation that produces their own weapons, phased out reliance on the Iron Dome to the Iron Beam, has an Intelligence Agency that rivals the C.I.A., and recently turned down ALL future aid from the United States of America as they did in the 1980s and before since they realise relations between the West and the State of Israel are faltering. Anyone who knows the situation on the ground can see that as they hedge their bets to the Russo-Sino-Indo sphere and other parts of the Far East. But yeah! Trump can TOTALLY control Israel, right guys?! 😉 Laughable. Gosh... his posturing just makes him sound like a pissbaby. 🤣
