Roaming Charges: Neo-Conned Again!

Using Israel's logic for attacking Iran (to protect itself from (non-existent) Iranian nuclear weapons), every country in the Middle East (and beyond) would be justified in attacking Israel and destroying its (still undeclared) arsenal of 90 nuclear warheads. Trump’s assertion that if Iran developed a nuclear weapon, it would automatically use it against Tel Aviv, is preposterous, since Iran doesn’t want to be annihilated and surely would be  if it did so. Israel, on the other hand, could nuke Iran and get away with it, as the US did Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    I honestly think nothing with Israel or Russia would be different under Harris right now, save for the way the rhetoric is presented.

      Libs would be scolding about holding “the first black female president” to an “unreasonable standard” and something about the left being the true racists of the country.

        “Sure, Kamala is sending us to another endless war in the Middle East, but Trump would’ve caused us to all die in a nuclear war!”

          “It’s not just her, there’s too many corporate democrats in the party! I hate them too, but don’t worry, we will primary them out!”

          votes for the exact same people in the primary

          What president hasn’t been bourgeoisie?

          Trump is a bit weird in that he seems to have actual impulses that are purely his own though.

            True but they were at least middle men to the ultra elite before. That middleman has been cut out. But fair point.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
