Remember: He has the mentality of a 6th grade bully with nukes. Everyone knows bullies are cowards beneath their bravado. God save us from this madness.

One wonders if this whole operation was to steal thunder from Bibi Netanyahu so *Trump* not *Bibi* would be seen as the toughest more powerful guy...

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I don't have to wonder. Its clearly one of the motivating factors. Bibi sunk any hopes of him making a deal with Iran without force. So this was a way to save face.

When the president himself is a bigger threat to OpSec than any sleeper agent.

Many brave ewoks died to get that information.

OPSEC is more than just not using Signal to let your friends in on the plans, although that helps. It also includes tv appearances that give away the game, even if you don’t outright blab those plans.

@gtconway.bsky.social he was still seething about the optics of his dud of a dictator parade. This was his opportunity to turn that around in his oatmeal brain.

The Israelis knew it had been moved , they still let Trump bomb it.

He acts like he is still on the Apprentice. The guy has never worked a day in his life and now he thinks that posturing over the trivial is "working."

Trump is gonna need stand ins or proxies like Melania has for public appearances and all camera shots! His colors don’t match and he is old and fat!

gozermac.bsky.social•13 hours ago

He’s only about branding himself. The country is only relevant insofar as it generates adulation to feed his ego. He doesn’t give two shits about its citizens and since he has no principles thinks the country’s are of no practical importance.

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Yes. This administration cares more about optics versus policy.

It’s because he didn’t really want to destroy Irans stockpiles. It was a very expensive show. Trust in the fact that Russia and China were paying close attention.

And this had nothing to do with nukes, it’s just more personal vindictive payback for hacking his campaign & issuing death threats against him.

He wanted the optics, empty though the gesture was. Now he can tell the Iranians “no harm, no foul” as if he has a free pass.

As much as I hate the Iranian regime (not the Iranian people) I would be happy for them to humiliate Trump with some "you missed" type photos.

So he started a war and aided the enemy. Sounds like treason.

megundlach.bsky.social•1 hour ago

This whole thing is weird. Giving them warning, moving materials, their “retaliation” that we knew about and now magically a cease fire. Just feels weird. It’s not like anyone in the administration is a master negotiator. TACO.

He removes all fire prevention
Starts fire

Demands Nobel Peace Prize
And repeats
He will be deporting most of US
Those that remain will either be part of the billionaire’s club or indentured servants. Visions of plantations

We can drop all the evil ICE dudes into Tehran. The Iranians can sort them out. The US will be much better without those fuckers running around in the US.
Iranian regime brutalizes protesters, just like some scum police in the US.

mjk4mj.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Trump has no other allies except Israel in his fight with Iran. Pro-democracy Iranians don't want to be ruled by a guy who lies about US elections and who wants to be a dictator. They don't want to be ruled by far-right Jews either.

Imagine Roosevelt telling anyone who'd listen that he had this cool plan for a massive invasion in France. "Those Nazis'll never know what hit 'em!"

cieloazulnm.bsky.social•12 hours ago

The reality is the US has an old, weak, feeble minded leader trying his best not to look old, weak, and feeble minded. A narcissist must always appear to be virile, strong, and in charge, hence Trump's posturing.

kdmpa.bsky.social•13 hours ago

In Trump's mind, consequences are for losers and suckers. To be fair, his treatment by the media and the judicial system confirm that.

bernieswasright.bsky.social•12 hours ago

We aren't dealing with a human being...in the sense that, people we have generally encountered our whole life. In a way, he's a mutant. His whole life is spent hunting for the next dopamine hit. Like we breathe, he hunts

kslibra.bsky.social•12 hours ago

A regime change is absolutely necessary. So while Iran is considering terroristic retaliation, instead of targeting innocent US citizens, they should consider facilitating a US regime change, as well as in Israel.

They are not stupid. There are no large storages of enriched uranium, They loaded it into trucks and dispersed it over the landscape. There is nothing we can attack!

He needs consequences of a permanent sort which end his illegal power. Then Genocide trials.

Wanna bet Bibi made a deal with Trump that if we took out Iranian nuclear facilities, he’d welcome many Trump hotels in Israel! There always has to be some financial gain in Trump’s pocket for him to do anything.

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Maybe. Although most likely he did it because he was mad that Bibi went against his wishes of looking like a hero for negotiating a great deal with Iran. (Since he has sucked at dealmaking up to this point). And this was a way for him to save face.

jecojeco.bsky.social•14 hours ago

trump's North Star is doing anything he thinks will help his ratings and poll numbers. Even being only the second US president to nuke an enemy will be OK because trump's bomb will be BIGGER than Truman's.
