    Oh look more lies and fabrications to try to make the US look bad from radical Islamic terrorists.

    Shocker.

    Let the downvotes from the terrorist supporters begin!

    Trump – What are are the expected impacts?

    Military – We expect thousands dead, many civilians, probably US miltary casualties as well. Chaos in the marketplace, and across the board rises in fuel, transportation and goods.

    Trump – No, I mean for me, personally.

  3. I already had the US executive pegged as the neofascist version of the SS and this is starting to sound more and more like ethnic cleansing.

  4. Well as someone who has literally faced zero consequences for his actions, why would he think killing civilians would be where the world draws the line

    Trump only cares about one person. Anyone else is just there is help or be in his way.

    I wonder where all the “Obama bombed civilians!” people are at right now

    Hegseth uses this kind of depraved language “We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country.” What has happened to the US that it’s fallen so far?

  8. Then they bomb a school and kill a bunch of kids. What in the actual fuck, America?

    I’m thinking killing civilians is the point. Cruelty. Orphans, etc. Empire in decline

  10. Well yeah not trying to kill little girls is “woke”.
    Can’t have that, this is ~~the~~ war ~~drinking game~~, just men in here. And JD.

    Karma is a big dog and one fine day it will make you its bitch. Maybe not today or tomorrow but definitely one day. It always comes back. 

  12. Well, that’s a war crime.

    But, pulling a Putin… it’s not a war crime if it’s not a “war”… right?

  13. Of course, how much money does sparing civilian lives earn him? If its not enough to forget what a disappointment Eric is, then it isnt enough.

    He such a blatant and disgusting disregard for life. Sickening. War Crimes.

    Just in case there was any doubt remaining as to where his priorities lie… The Iranian people now suffer caught between two terror regimes.

    I think the US is hiding something even more sinister. They probably let AI run its course, and live tested the ‘kill chain’ without human intervention
