    I’m failing to see the humour in this one.

    He’s just totally, unbelievably, deluded.

  2. I had a friend who would get drunk and start fights with multiple people at the same time – and he’d look at me and say, you ready? Ready for what? To watch you get your ass kicked? I won’t let them beat the hell outta you, but I’m not a part of this. You wanted it, you handle it.

    Why should we go to the aid of other’s conquest, when they’ve done nothing but disrespect us and can’t even keep their own backyard safe and clean.

  4. He always tries to convince others to do his dirty work for unrealized future rewards. Sound familiar? It should.

  5. Would be a real shame if he’d spent the last twelve months pissing off everyone he wants a hand from.

  6. It’s not enough that he’s turned us into a perpetual embarrassment, now we’re begging too? Trying to picture a guy in a tux with a Royce by the side of the road asking for handouts.

  7. Why would any other country come help us with our illegal war after what Trump has been doing to threaten everyone? 🤷

    For someone who routinely says things “on a scale never before seen” when they talk about threatening a country, this sure reads like maybe our capabilities have been significantly degraded due to haphazard ops tempo, multiple conflicts in different places, shitty communication, logistics issues, and a general “I have my head up my ass and severe dementia but command the armed forces” kind of vibe.

    I read that the US Navy will begin escorting tankers in a month? Why a month? Apart from the obvious reasons?

    Don’t yell at other countries. Yell at insurance companies who refuse to pay for shipping lying at the bottom of the Strait.

    Trump picks an unwinnable fight, and expects the rest of the world to bail him out.

    Popcorn anyone?

    Yeah, nah mate. This is your fuck up trump so sadly it’s gonna be your people who’ll need to bleed out for the billionaires oil. Maybe he could try by sending on Barron in the first wave? Keeps talking him up on how great at absolutely everything he is.

    Several enormous fact-based problems with this.

    1. Carroll’s take is not humorous.
    2. Trump didn’t start this war. We have been in a shots-fired engagement with Iran and its proxies for a very long time. Trump just decided to end it.
    3. The problem with maritime security due to Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz existed before Operation Epic Fury.
    4. We haven’t lost a sailor to combat in this operation.

    Do better.

  12. Dumbass said he had a feeling. Now he wants historical Allie’s he has been sitting on for years to stock their necks out for the fuckup he chose.

  13. A war he didn’t consult anyone about beforehand, has no clear plans for, has absolutely no exit strategy for whatsoever, hasn’t really thought through in any reasonable sense, and is willing to commit as many bodies to as he thinks it’ll take because he will “know” by the vibe when it’s time to end it (yes, he actually said this in a roundabout way).

    More and more people are saying with increasing levels of concern that Trump may have just started World War 3 with this attack on Iran. It’s already spiraled into a regional conflict and it won’t take much to make things go global. (For example, I betcha the moment Trump commits fully to a ground invasion and moves troops into the theater, China will take advantage of the American deployment of forces and seize Taiwan.)

  14. Maybe he should’ve thought about that when he was burning bridges with all of our allies.

  15. Gotta keep the rest of the ships ready for the next war he’s gonna start in a few weeks

    It’s hilarious that the guy who alienated all of the United States’ allies now wants them to come to his rescue.

    By hilarious I mean it’s sad and terrifying.

    I don’t know if this is like 26D chess where he now can state jurup didnt help me obliterate a foreign country so we won’t get involved when they invoke article 5 or if it is genuine stupidity.

    Republicans really called everyone a pedophile and then voted in the king of pedophiles. Now we’re going to war and bombing children just to distract from it. Hard to be a shittier or more hypocritical American than a Republican these days.   

  19. Why would he consult anyone? Trump is the king of America and we are all his servants!
