Trump at War?

[neoplacebo]

Yes well this was the most shocking news for the whole world. No one could imagine that UAE kings will make a deal with Israel, but yes it happened. Lets see what happens next.

Last time I checked, the main issue in the Middle East is between Israel and the Palestinians. And it isn't the UAE or Bahrain that are stealing Palestinian land and killing Palestinians. Just like the Carter/Begin/Sadat "peace" deal did not solve the problem, this won't either. And Israel went to war with Egypt; Israel has never been at war with UAE or Bahrain.

Long dead thread but seems appropriate.

DonOld has unintentionally proved that modern warfare has evolved to be undefensible and unwinable.

Smart weapons can't completely be stopped even with an "Iron Dome."

It's also proven that our trillion dollar military can't effectively protect our allies as has long been promised and generally believed.

No one has the stomach to fully commit with boots on the ground as air campaigns can't defeat anyone going back to Vietnam.

Bet a lot of people are going to be rethinking the world order and how they fit in it and reevaluating the nature of their US relations ten and twenty years in the future.

Between the failing Iran war and the failed tariffs DonOld has more than likely unintentionally diminished the stature of the US as the world's economic and military power. China would like to fill the void and maybe they can regionally. Being the biggest kid on the block pales in comparison to the whole neighborhood.

Nice rant. How do you really feel about Trump?

Other than him being a stain on American and now world history?

The Vatican is next.

Not much of an army, but they dress well.

In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture.

America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.

As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.

That scene, broken this week by Mattia Ferraresi in an extraordinary piece of journalism for The Free Press, may be the most remarkable moment in the long and knotted history of the American republic’s relationship with the Catholic Church.

Where's a good smiting when we need one?

[GoCubsGo]

He's having himself a day.

[GoCubsGo]

Someone is unhappy his wonderful "peace plan" is getting panned.

All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the "Shootin' Starts," bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed, a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and, the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE. In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!

Writing

the best chocolate chip cookies — everyone is talking about them, and frankly, theyre incredible. much better then anything youll find in the stores, believe me.
first, you take 2 1/4 cups of flour — very important, high quality. dont skimp. add 1 teaspoon baking soda, a little salt, perfect. in another bowl, mix 1 cup (2 sticks!) of butter — softened, not melted, very classy — with 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar. beat it untill its smooth, really smooth, like a great deal.
add 2 large eggs, one at a time — not all at once, thats a disaster — plus 2 teaspoons vanilla. fantastic flavor. then slowly bring in your dry ingrediants. dont rush, take your time, like a winner.
now the best part — 2 cups of chocolate chips. big, beautiful chips. fold them in. people love this step.
drop the dough onto a baking sheet — big scoops, generous, we dont do small here — and bake at 375f for about 9–11 minutes. watch them closely, you want golden edges, soft center. perfect cookies.
let them cool slightly — if you can wait — and enjoy. these cookies? total knockout. everyone agrees.

ChatGPT: write a nonsensical plan to launch a middle east war in a trumpian style

It's scary how accurate this is:

The Ultimate Middle East Peace Proposal (or Not): A Trumpian Approach to Unleashing Chaos

Phase 1: Gather the Best People
Assemble a team of the most outstanding individuals who have “great relationships” with everyone, even the people they’re supposed to be negotiating with (they might not know it yet).
Host a blockbuster press conference on a yacht in the Mediterranean, complete with ice sculptures and a live band playing "The Best Is Yet to Come."

Phase 2: The Unbelievable Announcement
Announce that we’re canceling all foreign aid—except for a select few “loyal” countries that totally love us (the ones with the best oil).
Publicly declare that we’ve discovered a “hidden treasure map” showing secret resources in the region. (You know what they say: “The best offense is a crazy conspiracy!”)

Phase 3: Tweeting into Action
Launch a series of tweets claiming that other countries need to “pay up” for protection or else “nobody will like them anymore.”
Use hashtags like #TakeBackOurLand and #BigLeagueOil to rally followers into a frenzy.

Phase 4: Create a Diplomatic Circus
Send mixed messages to various leaders—one week, they’re our best friends, the next they’re on the “Do Not Call” list.
Convince reality TV stars to visit various hotspots and create a “reality peace” series showcasing how to negotiate through dance-offs and cooking challenges.

Phase 5: Explosive Marketing Campaign
Launch a branded line of “Peace Grenades” that explode with confetti and promises of democracy—perfect for parties or gatherings!
Renegotiate the naming rights of prominent landmarks—imagine “Trump’s Tower of Peace” built right in the middle of the conflict zone.

Phase 6: The Art of the Deal (But Make It Absurd)
Propose a deal to “rebuild” the region, but only after an extravagant auction where each conflicting side can bid on who gets to pick the first major monument to demolish.
Encourage a “winner takes all” approach to each negotiation, with all losers required to wear oversized foam hats proclaiming “I Lost to The Best.”

Phase 7: The Greatest Game of All
Turn the conflict into the ultimate reality show competition where each country's leader has to perform stunts to avoid escalating tensions, complete with a celebrity judge panel.
Broadcast the fallout on a premium network, charging viewers per episode—because why not monetize worldwide tension?

With this blueprint, brace yourself for a maelstrom of confusion, excitement, and a whole lot of popcorn, because who doesn't love a good showdown? Remember, all’s fair in love and reality TV!

Nice rant. How do you really feel about Trump?

Does it not concern you that Trump has exposed how weak we are militarily to the whole world even though we spend more on it than every other country combined?

The whole military budget is one big grift, and now everyone knows it for sure.

I believe it.

DonOld thinks needs the win he's not getting in Iran.

This also will not help his poll numbers, but will increase calls for the 25th.
