blowing up the largest oil field in the world would be absolutely mental and therefore this is just a bluff, right? there’s no way he would actually bomb South Pars off the map because it would immediately cause permanently geopolitical shifts + Iran bombing Israel and then… lol

    massively blow up

    His command of the English language is as singular as his intellect.

    Destroying oil and gas infrastructure and blocking supply is Iran’s only real card to play at this point. If the administration takes out Iran’s infrastructure it will skyrocket prices for everyone as well.

    As if a promise to not attack their gas fields is worth anything. Israel respects nothing, least of all this cuck president’s promises, if they can even hear him with the ghost of epstein’s dick in his mouth.

    I don’t know how anyone is still listening to this guy, let alone take it seriously. He just says things, just to say something, all the time.

      Indeed he does. The concepts of responsibility, wisdom, respect, humility…he is incapable of grasping any of those and many more.

      Our enemies hate us even more. Our allies may remain allied on paper, but we already see them turning away in practice. Obviously they’re right to do so.

      Trump is squandering whatever good will and consideration the US has built with the world since its founding…and he’s oblivious to any of that.

      Uh, no. He just started a major war. Obviously, the US armed forces listen to him, even when he’s just as obviously completely out of his mind.

    “Massively blow up” is the kind of expression that indicates that a person is a complete fucking drooling moron. It’s the type of expression that should be utterly disqualifying for any serious role in any serious situation and yet here we are.

    We’re a nation full up of fucking suckers, and unfortunately even the vast minority of people that aren’t bottom sucking dupees have to live with it.

    We suck. We’re like a drunk school bus driver trying to say that we’re sober enough to drive the kids to school when in reality we’ve got a .20 BAC at 6:30am.

      I remember when publicly misspelling potato or doing an enthusiastic scream was viewed as disqualifying for the dignity of public office. Nowadays you can make endless typos, speak like a mentally handicapped gangster, betray everyone you’ve ever made a promise to, shit your whole ass on TV, fuck kids, say you want to fuck your own kids, talk about getting away with murder (figurative and otherwise), and memorably disgrace the entire nation more often than most people take exercise.
