There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then needing to type “truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump” into your web browser to see if he actually said that. Once there, you can see a post in which Trump did indeed threaten to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, stacked on top of an ad for a sketchy herbal supplement of some sort:
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
How many generals does he have to fire before he finds one willing too launch nukes? Hopefully the whole military will start to refuse his orders.
This morning I heard a report that apparently there are soldiers at bases all over the world pushing back at the idea of going to Iran. The soldiers see that those operating this war are hopelessly inept, and it will only get much, much worse when they inject bodies into the situation.
Soldiers are willing to defend their country because they believe that those at the top truly have America’s best interests as their priority. It is very clear today that American Democracy is not even close to the top priority for MAGA. Soldiers aren’t willing to die to keep the Trump Epstein Files off the front page, especially since they’ll be taking orders from traitors who have already demonstrated that they are virtuosically incompetent.
