US Politics Thread

[stubbo-admin]

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

OK, a relatively simple question, I think, is that now looking like a gigantic fuck up from the orange bloke? The great US cap in hand asking for help. FMOB.

Which we should not give.
This is Trump's fuck up and he should own it without endangering any other nation's armed forces.
It is within his power, I hope,.to stop it before it gets any worse.
This whole thing, plainly, has not been thought through at all.and USA has is being lead by the nose by Benjamin Netayahu and his radical cronies.

Sadly for the USA the level of stupidity of its President grows day by day week by week.

The situation that presents in the Persian Gulf is the obvious example of this stupidity.

Trump is acting more like Frank Spencer than Forrest Gump in that the hapless Gump managed to make things overall better compared to the never quite clever enough Spencer leaving a trail of devastation.

Trump can end this farago in the blink of an eye but he won’t until Bibi gives him the go ahead. Instead of urging Tankers to grow some and try transiting the Straight of Hormuz Trump needs to put his big boy pants on and strike a deal, it’s what he delusionally prides himself on, but that won’t happen until Israel meets its own objectives.

As for the many countries that Trump has denigrated and disrespected they should leave Trump hoisted by his own petard.

*Straits of Hormuz not straights

Ok I lied, one more for Goose so he can pick apart two clips in disbelief....LOL

 

 

This is the funniest one, it’s actually a pro government rally they’ve used.

disbelief is probably the right word to sum it up.

Lets not make this personal, The UK , France, China, South Korea and Japan have not responded with any actions to the US  request to assist them to allow the free passage of merchant ships through the straights of Hormuz

In so many words Iran want a deal but the US are not ready

Nutsin son, you really should check some of the stuff you post first.
You’re proof that some people will read & repost anything.

 

[Westham67]

Global Communism  ? why would that be other than China ?

I will post just this one, however there are dozens of different clips showing the uprising in Iran from all over the country......Same with Cuba too.......

If they continue to have problems holding off Irans attack in the straits of Hormuz, just send Mavropanos to deal with them.

He repelled a missile pretty fucking well!

Fucking LOVED that commitment. Send him to the middle east and he'll headbutt any nuke away piece of piss.

Gotta laugh!

I was part of the GGC project building a railway thought the UAE from Oman north  and then west  through the other UAE emirates and into Saudi. The railway went up to Saudi border and they built nothing to connect to it .A railway that ends in the Abu Dhabi desert

[Massive Attack]

Scale up getting oil out through Saudi towards the Red Sea. Htfhyc

[goose]

Hilarious from Trump.

Starts war that nobody else wants to join.
Slags off people for not joining.
Doesn’t plan for the obvious move of Iran closing the Hormuz straight.
Asks countries who didn’t want this war to risk their navy helping him secure the Hormuz straight.

Operation Epic Fail.

[El Scorchio]

Trump now asking other countries to sent ships as in Navy ships to secure the striates of Humorz, So much for the strategic plans of the US this an afterthought because they though they would "Win " what ever that means in a weeks alone 

I hope we don't get involved 

 

 

I thought they were 'winning' so much with the greatest miliary on the planet and completely obliterating the enemy that they couldn't possibly need little old us or anyone else to help them...

Unless it's not going anywhere near as well as their bombastic claims, of course.

Seriously I hope we don't get involved in Trump and Netanyahu's war/genocide either particularly for our navy to be cannon fodder, although I am sure he's going to make more silly trade threats if we don't offer up our resources.

[Fauxstralian]

Why would other countries send ships?
Trump said they’d won already and they didn’t need the UK 
The dementia is full blown 
Unlike Trump when the 13yo bit his penis

[Westham67]

Just because someone agrees it doesn't make it right, Its someone else opinion which everyone is entitled to

Lets see where we are in August 2026  if  as in peace in the middle east . Its still kicking off in Iraq with Iranian backed Shai Militia

The Taliban won the war in Afghanistan after 21 years . Its called the graveyard of empires for a reasom

  

Doesn’t matter where we are in AUG or DEC or any other month. You and those with TDS will find reason to moan no matter what. 
In the meantime we will blast them and their nuclear capabilities into the Stone Age. Hopefully will establish regime change for the better just like we did with Iraq. Then we no longer have to worry about a hateful crazy Islamist with a nuclear arsenal.

Its not Trump mate, Its the US policy in the middle east, I did post GW Bush "Mission accomplished" in regard to the war in Iraq in May1 2003, If Trump had not gone to war with Iran I would be ok with him, I have back in the UK for seven years and I don't generally get involved in US politics
