Some of you may recall a particularly obnoxious commenter who called himself Jinx McHue, among other names — he was one of those who made stupid comments, got banned, and then tried to make multiple appearances under different pseudonyms, and got banned for each one. I guess he’s still reading, because he tried to comment again, but he got blocked, as usual. But maybe you’d be entertained by his attempt?
So, you’re mad when he threatens to nuke Iran, but then you turn around and are mad when he doesn’t. You people are dumber than he is.
He doesn’t get it. Yes, we’re mad that he threatened to nuke Iran, because that would be evil and criminal. No, we’re not mad that he didn’t nuke Iran. We’re mad that he’s trying to implement international diplomacy by making evil, criminal threats and bragging about maybe doing war crimes.
I wonder…was he happy when he made the threat, or happy when he didn’t follow through?
I have to say that whoever is in charge in Iran right now is a lot smarter than many of our university presidents, senior partners in fancy law firms, corporate CEOs, and the like. They understand that the proper negotiating stance with Ronald T. Dump is to give him nothing — not even the numeral “0”, I mean nothing as in
And that’s what they did. They still have their nuclear program, they still control the strait — in fact they’re charging $2 million for the ships they do decide to let through — they’re taking the opportunity to repair, rebuild and rearm, and now that Israel is still trying to wipe out Hezbollah they’ve closed the strait again to oil tankers. Maybe the corporate media and stock investors will figure that out in the next couple of days.
No, I’m not happy about all of that but we’re stuck with it. At least higher oil and gas prices should be good in the long run — less will be burned and it should accelerate development of sustainable energy. That’s what we should have invested in in the first place instead of cruise missiles and bombs and we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I’m mad at Dumpster and his club because he’s ginned up an international crisis to make money from gaming the market, and distract from something that should probably land him in prison for a long time. I’m mad at Bebe and some other big name players are going along with this. I’m mad because all of this has cost thousands of lives, not to mention the impact on the global economy. I am not mad that they have not killed more people.
I’m taking odds: He’ll contend that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war that he started.
Jinkz internal deeply-held assertion about themselves that they could get a reaction from someone and at least you has been proven to be true.
Do not feed the trolls?
“he’s trying to implement international diplomacy by making evil, criminal threats”
I don’t think diplomacy ever had anything to do with it.
His threats were not for Iran.
They were for the markets.
He and his family are laughing all the way to the bank.
You can’t argue with these assholes.
Latest headline.
Who cares?
US power absolutely depends on having forward bases all over the world.
Without those forward bases, all our tanks, planes, artillery, heavy weapons, Navy ships, etc.. are all but useless. They would end up being parked on the Island continent of North America.
Presumably, guarding against attacks by Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Cuba, or California.
If Trump abandoned our European sited US bases, the Europeans should just wave bye bye and move on to building up their own defenses.
I’m mad that our dumb bastard president is claiming victory, when even a cursory comparison of the situation today with the situation six weeks ago clearly shows Iran in a stronger position now, controlling the strait, apparently going to charge a toll to ships passing through. His wonderful “ceasefire” lasted roughly ten minutes. And Karoline Leavitt is claiming an “uptick” in ships using the strait, because three ships have passed through today. Three, where 135 was the previous average.
I’m tired of these pukes trying to gaslight us in real time.
