[War] Trump surrenders to Iran in a humiliating defeat

Man, I've quit eating red meat almost entirely now thanks to this *******. I'm not paying $10 a pound for ground beef and $25 bucks for a ribeye. My health and car insurance both have skyrocketed. Everything I touch is more money. Gas is just one more drain on my wallet.

And that's just my wallet. Never mind the lives he's destroyed, or the damage he's done to this country.

I can't even blame Trump. I knew he was ****ing POS thirty years ago. I knew -- just as anyone with a brain knew -- that all of this was coming.

It's the Trump voters that I blame. Those people will fall for anything.

 

Day 55.

Is the Strait open yet?

 

these two morons, started the bombing of Iran leading to the closure of the Straits of Hermuz

the dotard lies

​

Whiskey Pete tells US allies "Hormuz is your problem" ​

 

It never cease to amaze me how much he spews lies. Every time this guy speaks you know the lies will start flowing out. Every damn time he does that reporters need to ask him why he lies every time he opens his mouth. They shouldn't be holding back from calling him a liar anymore. It's ridiculous.

 

It gets worse. As long as the Strait of Trump's Folly is closed, the price of gasoline will be closer to $4 a gallon than $3.

 

News from the UN:

Poverty - More than 30 million people will be pushed back into poverty by the impacts of the Iran war, U.N. ‌development chief Alexander De Croo said on Thursday.

Fertiliser shortages - worsened by the blocking of cargo vessels through the Strait of Hormuz - have already lowered agricultural productivity, the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) told Reuters.

"Food insecurity ⁠will be at its peak level in a few months - and there is not much that you can do about it," he said, also listing other fallouts of the crisis including energy shortages and falling remittances.

De Croo said the knock-on effects ⁠of the crisis have already wiped out an estimated 0.5% to 0.8% of global GDP. "Things that take decades to build up, it takes eight weeks of war to destroy them," he ⁠said.

The crisis was also straining humanitarian efforts as funding shrinks and needs rise in places already facing severe emergencies, including Sudan, Gaza and Ukraine.

"We will have to ⁠say to certain people, really sorry, but we can't help you," he said.

30 million pushed back into poverty also means deaths. Add it to the numbers related to the destruction of USAID and we'll soon be talking about how Pol Pot slides down on the list of political leaders who callously killed the most. Mao is probably out of reach for now, but if Trump really puts in the work, he can catch Hitler and maybe even Stalin before 2028.

 

If we don’t use the Strait of Hormuz and don’t need it, then why did he threaten to obliterate their entire civilization if they didn’t open it?

Why does he insist that any ceasefire necessitates Iran keeping the Strait “free and open?”

Remember that LieSocial post? “Open the fcking Strait!”…that was him

gramps just be yapping and contradicting himself every 30 minutes…more and more people are just sick of it which is why his approval rating is in the toilet and he’s hemorrhaging support by the day

 

He's also creating sympathy for Iran. I didn't think that was possible, but people are watching him and saying, "Yeah, Iran is right. You can't negotiate with this level of insanity."

 

Its legitimately embarrassing.

Reminds me of how a middle school girl reacts to getting dumped or something.

"You can't dump me! I'm dumping you! Come back to me or I'll kill myself! Who needs you anyway, you're ugly!"

The worst part is the gaslighting about all this **** that you know will come in the run up to 2028. And the fact it'll probably work.

Where's our resident Trump turd polisher? @El_Conquistador why is the Strait closed?? You owe me gas money bro.

 

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

 

The gift to the world courtesy of Trump as Hegseth calls it.

 

That doesn't even account for the billion or so a day we are spending to do it.

 

Three carrier groups, a few thousand troops, missiles, and such... I guarantee it is more than $1 billion a day. Then there are the costs not included.

For example, existing inventory of Tomahawk missiles are valued at $2 million each, but they will cost $3-3.5 million to replace.

Similarly, the value of current Patriot missiles is $1-2 million a piece, but the replacement cost is $4-5 million.

At least 20 military facilities have been damaged, but the cost of repair is not included in the Pentagon's calculus. Neither are the damaged/destroyed planes factored in.

Then there are the long-term costs, like health care for vets.

Tripling the official Pentagon cost estimate will bring you closer to the number historians will end up citing.

 

It's absurd. They say it could reach a trillion down the road, and yet we not only refuse to make healthcare affordable for all, we have gutted agencies and funding around the country, gutted research, gutted experts in science, gutted wind power projects, etc...

Meanwhile, the war profiteering continues for a select few, the conflicts of interests among the administration and their families is huge, the voices of Americans go unheard, and billions are spent weekly on this war, instead of here at home. The Trump family is making a fortune though. For them it's all about the grift.

 

1. Buy an electric vehicle -- help the environment amigo! I personally find gas stations to be disgusting and high risk depending on what part of town you are in.

2. The Strait of Hormuz is being used to strangle the Islamic terrorist regime to death. Iran is desperate to move it's crude oil and is about to have to shut in wells because there is no where to store the oil. When that happens, lasting damage to their infrastructure will occur... a powerful motivation for a rational economic actor to resolve the conflict... but the dumb mullahs will likely mess it up. Bottom line, it's time to fully uproot the Islamic terror regime, as several Democrat Presidents have promised to do... Trump is actually getting it done.

Amigo, the stock market is at all time highs -- meaning investors see these moves as being positive for the global economy and the world. I hope TDS hasn't caused you to miss this opportunity to stack juicy gainz -- because I surely have not! Are these investors irrational? Or is your highly emotional political lens causing you not see the success? Iran has no nukes, no military, no leadership, and soon will be begging for forgiveness for decades of terroristic behavior. I would love to see the women of Iran liberated from the hell that these mullahs have put them through. Mohammed had slaves, many wives, and a child bride -- Islam's treatment of women is indefensible. Epic Fury has many benefits, but one is the liberation of Iranian women.

GOOD DAY
