We should do that thing from Futurama where Nixon had a big party for all the robots, but we do it with all the MAGA politicians and billionaires, and let Iran go to town on the party.
I'd like to think most individuals in a war don't actually want the war, but given how unlikable the US is, I really wouldn't put it past a majority to want to see harm done to anyone from or in the US. I also couldn't blame them, either.
Exactly. When you purposefully kill a bunch of children as a first strike you're almost DEMANDING similar retaliation. It's like they want Iran to attack on US soil.
They can't penetrate American missile defenses, we're too far away, we'll see it coming.
And the White House is built to prevent terrorist attacks, not just the building but the layout of the grounds and distance from other stuff.
A terrorist could book a room at Marlago and likely have a busboy wheel the explosives in a suitcase.
They don't even really need to blow it up, just burn it down with shit they find.
Honestly it seems naive to think that a significant percentage of marlago guests aren't spies and terrorists these days.
With how common empty rooms for long stretches have been as bribed, someone could have a room open for months/years before finally having a bad actor move in.
Hotels are notoriously dangerous for terrorist risks to feds, and that's routine travel not them basically living there.
I really think we'll see an attack on Marlago, just because that's where trump is most exposed. And we have dumbasses in charge of preventing it.
That response leads me to think he really is on death's door. He cares not a whit for the nation he currently rules over, nor for any other person more than for himself.
The narrative path of “Epstein files are all over the news which Trump hates even if he’s never going to see real consequences, Trump learns he has X amount of time left, realizes he doesn't want to live his last days constantly hearing how much people not only hate him but see him for the disgusting monster he is, starts an war that is guaranteed to at least keep the news cycle occupied until he dies even if everyone else dies with him” does make some twisted sense
I’m pretty sure that’s what he wants. It’ll give him the support needed to further escalate to a full fledged war or an excuse to drop a goddamn nuke to end it.

This claim was used to justify attacks against Iranian shipping companies.
The truth is that it is possible to use a container ship this way, and the US might not see it coming in time to actually do anything about it.

They're faced with the one thing money can't always solve, and anything is better than dying
Even causing Armageddon because rapture isn't technically dying.
Or the AI singularity because you think it'll "appreciate" you enough to preserve you.
The problem is, there's always people on deaths door. The solution is only picking leaders who have something to live for after office.
