    No. I am talking about solving problems. Your solution to solving problems is to find the blame.

    For example:
    Problem: nations all around the world are facing an oil shortage.
    Pragmatic solution: All affected nations come together to find a way to reduce/eliminate the bottleneck (straight of hormuz)

    FranchiseBlade solution: Blame Trump and the United states.

    Sitting around assigning blame is not a solution. Assigned blame is a weak minded HR solution.

    IDF has killed US citizens, so there is that. I suspect those killings were not "gentle".

    Trump says we are getting closer to a deal, while also saying "I will only sign a deal where we get everything we want," and expects us to believe Iran will sign that deal. He's delusional. That isn't going to happen. No way in hell will Iran come out waving white flags saying they surrender, and allow the US to come in and take the uranium, and pay no reparations. Trump won't even admit we bombed a school of girls.

    just found out that Tulsi Gabbard resigned

    all the dirty rats are fleeing the sinking ship

    she has zero shame…zero morals…zero principles

    she was actually selling this merch back when she was still cosplaying as a Democrat and before she started dick riding Trump

    I see. Now you want nations to work together to solve the problems. Yet the cause of those problems isn't being dealt with and The United States which caused the problems wants the help of nations that the current administration has insulted, threatened, and degredated.

    But you seem unwilling to deal with the cause of the problems, which also happens to be one of the things that is hampering nations and allies working together.

    You have no faith in the intelligence community. I guess because what they found didn't fit your narrative.

    Donald Trump asserted that the U.S. does not need foreign help. This statement was made in response to allies declining to assist with the conflict in Iran and security operations in the Strait of Hormuz. [1, 2]
    His stance on this issue includes the following key points:
    • Strait of Hormuz: Trump declared that the U.S. doesn't "need anybody" to secure and reopen the Strait, despite earlier appeals for an international coalition.
    • NATO: He criticized NATO allies for refusing to help, calling it a "foolish mistake" and stating the U.S. does not need their assistance because it has already significantly degraded Iran's military.
    Trump says he doesn't need Xi's help on Iran

    Is this your idea of nations working together?

    dumbass.

    why is it the people with TDS the ones who listen to Trump so much? … and these same people act like they have the intellectual superiority to go around calling people a dumbass.

    perhaps go find a hobby will all those millions you scored in the stock market instead of listening to Trump so much

    You didn't respond to his post at all, just focused on the "dumbass" tag at the end, and are trying to make fun of him for paying attention to the president.

    Because he's the president and his decisions matter.

    i did address it. Listening to Trump is for idiots, not a springboard for intelligent conversation.

    i dont know what to tell someone who still hasnt figured out Trumps schtick after a decade. It was abundantly clear after his first year in office.

    You talking nonsense. The Director of National Intelligence testified before Congress that the US had no intelligence that Iran was actively building a nuke or were weeks away from having a nuke ftm.

    Remind me who is fitting facts to a narrative?

    I get that angle, I've seen people try to use it before... but HE'S STILL THE PRESIDENT of AMERICA.


    The idea that his words and actions are inconsequential simply because his game plan is to be overwhelming and ridiculous to the point of political disorientation is fine and all if his words and actions where truly inconsequential, but they JUST AREN'T given the power he has over this nation and world, your gaslighting yourself and others to claim this is somehow a valid / logic reason to simply discard everything he says.

    Did you discard everything Biden said? Obama? George? Bill?

    No, if Biden or Obama ever said anything that was politically disagreeable, incorrect, offensive, you name it, it was harped on ENDLESSLY by their political opponents, and it was never called derangement syndrome.

    This is a political tactic, and I think it's a truly embarrassing one to push.
