Is trump mad that he isn't getting the bribe money
Yes. So fucking obviously yes. He claimed days before the farcical "negotiations" recently that he would be getting some of the bribe money, so there's really no question that was one of his demands. And now that's he's been told no, he's throwing a tantrum like the baby we all know he is.
I would love to know what each party brought to the table, cause the media isnt saying Iran bad, but its implied.
The US media? Oh they choose their wording carefully, sure, but the message absolutely is Iran bad. Has been for years.
And they brought a plan for peace, including what they felt were reasonable concessions; we brought accusations and a list of demands for surrender, control, and money. I thought that was kinda obvious.
Not just USA media.
But yes, the message has always been Iran bad. With these negotiations though no one has said its Iran thats been in the wrong.
Edit: they arent saying Iran bad, just leading you there.
Oh. Huh. Yeah, I can see that. It's fucking weird that the assholes running this dumpster fire right now are so damn stupid they can't get the propaganda right (even Dubya was better at towing the party line, and that moron was probably high off his ass for most of his speeches). Messes with my head. But, I concede that point.
For the first time though im struggling to see what the end game is.
Corporate armies taking over? WW3? Just a really fucking sloppy way to make billionaires richer?
Yeah, with you on that one...
Lol, and he's using the navy to do it...what a cunt!
There's rumors that the massive levels of corruption in our military has resulted in lower stockpiles and overall combat readiness than claimed, and that a prolonged conflict will eventually reveal that.
Fucking hell I do not want the world to find out, though. Cause all that insane bastard would have left would be nukes. And the common folk like myself are all living paycheck to paycheck, absolutely no safety net, pretending we're all doing well but actually afraid of any disruption - because that would land a man in the streets and homeless.
So, pray he breaks our collective backs and we finally rise up first; but the propaganda here is beyond belief, so that's gonna take a lot to say the least. 🤕
Rumours? The US is already reneging on deliveries because it's stockpiles are depleted. Launching billions upon billions of dollars of hightech missiles at Iran punched a huge hole in the US stockpiles, to relatively little effect.
The Iran war had the same problem as Vietnam. You can't use a million dollar weapon to take out a ten thousand dollar weapon and expect long-term success. So the Trump government did what they do best, and tried to solve the problem by making the same mistake more rapidly and at greater scale.
Fair. Mango Mussolini is clearly desperate in his attempts to bully others into doing his dirty work for him.
This is getting the bribe money. Insider trading on Trump is going to be much better then under say Biden. He also makes the rich even richer and especially the oil and gas industry in the US.
Partly. But he also just realized that all his buddies sell oil at market rates, and market rates just skyrocketed. Every company producing oil in the US is making an absolute killing right now.
As usual.
The peace president threatening other countries and starting more wars.
Is America great yet?
He's out of moves basically. This is just a toddler holding his breath now. What a sad clown.
Trump: Dang, I can't make the price of oil go down.
Also Trump: Hey, what if I intentionally make it go up some more so my buddies can do more insider trading?
Not really insider at this point. The insider part right now is that all the forces of capital are doing what they can to keep oil prices low. With the disruption that we have had so far it should be significantly higher to reduce demand down to actual supply. And, at a certain point, it becomes an entirely non elastic demand as critical infrastructure of entire countries can't be maintained.
Shit is not gonna go well. I'm in Seoul South Korea now and I've already seen a reduction in energy usage by the state. They had a lot of moving pathways and escalators turned off in the subways this weekend. We're gonna see much more of things like that VERY VERY quickly. Buy some solar panels.
Yessss. Make us the enemy of the whole world! Brilliant!
I hate the US so much.They should finally stop dragging the rest of the world into their bullshit. I pay high gas prices because you can't manage to put a bullet in the head of this fucking baby.
After the panic it sounds so desperate now...
Trump... "if I can't have you then no one can!"
He is mad he didn't think of it first

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
