So the US is running low in missiles...
And the neighboring countries are scared because they'll get the counterstrikes.
It's free to play.
I find it genuinely astonishing that the US can declare war on other nations without giving any real justifiable reason, they can bomb them over and over and generally fuck everything up, causing global supply issues, and there are absolutely no repercussions at all from any other countries.
Some threats of promises of strong words, but nothing more.
It's genuinely bizarre to me.
Has the US actually declared yet? I thought they were just bombing for the fun of it.
It's not a war, it's an "Excursion," because he'd never heard the word Incursion, so he called it an Excursion, and EVERYBODY, including the media, just went along with it.
WTF?
It is a "special military operation" comrade! You must understand this!
Because it is?
It's an incursion to Iran and excursion to USA.
coming in vs. going out.
Short of starting a war with the US no other country can really do anything but the US and they somehow seem to be adamant to let Trump do whatever he wants. I don't know why they would do that, but here we are.
Just a reminder, Trump does not personally want to bomb Iran, he wants to profit from (money, power, influence) the people who want to bomb Iran.
Less, why are people letting Trump do something, more who is supporting and pushing him to do it.
They could institute sanctions, like Canada taxing American bourbon.
Iran doesn’t need weapons. They can just keep playing mind games with Donald Trump until he goes fucking insane.
I hate to admit that I find this incredibly entertaining
I also hate to admit that I miss the hilarious AI generated Lego videos
Wait, this is the sane version of him?!
He means relatively...i think
That is what I meant, but only because I’m old enough to remember what he was like in the 80s and 90s
Iran has an entire team devoted to studying Trump's "psychology." They know they can't negotiate with him, because whatever they agree to today, he'll tear up or deny tomorrow.
Before he was president, at least one law firm had a rule that at least two lawyers had to be in a room with Trump at all times, because he would always later deny anything he had agreed to with a single lawyer. So it took two to back each other up, so he couldn't lie later about what was said in the meeting.
Iran understand how that feels.
They can just keep playing mind games with Donald Trump until he goes fucking insane.
Goes?!?!?
This war is yet another pump-and-dump scheme by the American admin. Tragic how many lives this is costing humanity.
Most likely Trump wanted to nuke them again but got a stirn no from the generals AGAIN.
This happened before so it's not a joking matter. He'll definitely try again. He really wants to be one of the presidents who dropped a nuke.
He wants history to remember him as literally anything other than a pedophile rapist.
I suppose he will end up being remembered as both. He is gonna be in a lot of awful chapters in history books.
More books, and masters and doctoral theses are going to written about Trump over the next 100 years, than any other president in history. For a guy who is going to firmly cemented in LAST place among presidents, his administration will be studied more than any of them.
Which is good, because their crimes will be well-documented, so future historians will know all about the Corrupt Treasonous Racist Pedophiles that were MAGA.
Let's see, who should I believe?
- The worst person possible who has never told the straight truth about anything
- Any selection from the set of all nouns excluding the one mentioned in #1
well yeah. this is a mon-fri war. gotta let the bros in the futures market prep for monday over the weekend.
Trump claims they called him up, and begged him not to bomb them. Again. I think this was the 40th time, no kidding.
It's nothing but stock market manipulation, and the media plays right along with it, even though it's obvious what he's doing.
When we finally take back America, and make across the board reforms, the media has some answering to do for the poor job they've done in exposing MAGA corruption.
TACO
This stupid cunt. All I want to do is refuel my car without taking out a second mortgage. Is that too much to ask? He thought he'd go in to Iran looking all tough and shit and all he's done is fuck everything up. It's high time Donny "fell" out a window... if they can find one wide enough.
Dookie Don shit the bed again.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- 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.
