The Republican president has previously referred to fallen American service personnel as “suckers” and “losers.” He has never served in the military, having in fact dodged the Vietnam War draft on five occasions. The last of those owed to a bone spur diagnosis. It’s a condition that usually affects elderly individuals. He was 22 at the time.
Trump has similarly threatened to invade U.S. allies Panama, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a fellow NATO member.
The MAGA president’s growing, campaign-promise-busting appetite for military engagement also comes amid his bitter disappointment at being passed over for last year’s Nobel Peace Prize, despite a concerted public and private push by his allies. It was previously awarded to his Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama.
In a letter regarding that snub, Trump wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in January that “considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”
The Norwegian government is not affiliated with the Nobel Committee, which decides independently to whom it will grant its awards. Trump’s claim to have stopped eight wars remains highly disputed.
The pedo sack of shit and his thugs strike again by murdering innocent people and wasting billions from the US treasury. All this shit to distract from the Epstein files.
It’s not just to distract from the Epstein files, that’s a sweet little benefit of course, but it’s mainly just a continuation of the exact same US imperialism that has been ignored for nearly a century. They didn’t need Epstein files to invade Afghanistan, or Iraq, or any of the dozens of nations subjected to US interventionism. The Epstein class have been fucking all of us over for decades, they just enjoy it with kids more.
Read Daniel Immerwahr’s book, “How to Hide an Empire.”
Its part of Facist takeovers.
Overwhelm the public with controversial news so they burn out.
Its outlined in the book “On Tyranny” and aligns well with present day.
In a week, they’ll be dropping MORE Epstein Files, to distract from the atrocities they’ll be committing in Iran.

Good point.
Wag-the-dog in real life
And also many hundreds or thousands of times as many Iranian civilians.

This is revolting, we are fucked. What a weenie
…he knows the Nobel Committee is a private entity right?
i think he’s pretty clearly demonstrated he doesn’t understand the Nobel committee even a little bit
No, he doesn’t know that, he’s virtuosically stupid.
“Weenie” is a pretty gentle choice of wordage.
Yeah, I save Weenie for the weak, cowardly Democrats. MAGAs deserve much worse labels, like Traitor, and Pedophile.
Imagine dying to protect a paedo from the repercussions of his many decades of raping children.
Here lies Chad DudeMcHamburger.
Blown to pieces in Iran for a person who didn’t, and still doesn’t, give a shit about anyone, even his own children.
Rest in peace knowing that you were a distraction from the kiddie fiddling for a few days.
RIP.Can someone explain to me why the Trump administration isn’t afraid of a military coup?
This may seem surface-level but . . .
Pick any base. You cannot visit the NEX, gym, medical, dental, squadron spaces, offices, or any other similar space on base without seeing Fox or similar Conserv卐tive propaganda playing 24/7.
The military minds are perfectly programmed with this shit.
you nailed it completely.
The military is 95% Trump supporters
An estimated 15/20% of Iranians are hardcore supporters of the theocratic regime that Trumpstein says he wants to remove. That 15/20% is violent and well-armed enough that they can effectively keep the rest of the population repressed. And from what it looks like right now, even if their ability to project power outside of Iran has been hit, they still have that power internally (and dismantling it would require the US and Israel to put boots on the ground and have many more casualties for a much longer time than they are willing to).
So, it apparently only takes 15/20% of violent, well armed fanatics to hold a whole country captive. Probably less, with good surveillance tech. Now let’s do the MAGA math and see who should be afraid of a coup…
Because americans are a joke
americans behave like cattle
A lot of them look like cattle too
An insult to cattle…
Send the maga maggots first
Many of them are in the military. I feel bad for the members that aren’t and just want to finish their enlistment or retire.
The American military consists entirely of volunteers and their track record has been well-established for decades now. Anyone who signed up or re-upped after the War on Terror knew what they were getting into.
I disagree. Trump first term and Biden were anti new wars. That was 8 years of draw dawn (really longer than that as Obama started the draw down and ended the Afghan war). Enough time to convince a high schooler to join. Also, don’t forget that the military is probably the best social mobility apparatus in the US. When I joined i was working at Walmart, when I got it I was making over 6 figures with a 4 year degree and no student debt. In 2020 I was at 10 years and made the decision to get out. Sometimes I think about how I would only be 4 years away from a pension right now, but I would be asked to commit war crimes; and I’m very glad I didn’t try to stick it out. It’s not as simple as you make it sound. Many of our troops are just people trying to get ahead in life.
Trump in his first term was responsible for a lot of people choosing retirement over promotion.
Sadly that left the Conserv卐tives behind on active duty.
Like I said, I chose to get out. But honestly back then Trump wasn’t even a factor in that decision. The generals were still doing their job making sure his crazy ideas were held back. Remember at the start of this second term they fired a bunch of generals because Trump wanted generals like Hitler had.
Saying “They do it for the money” isn’t much of a defence.
Oh yeah, and why do you do your job?
Indeed, the useless racist neo-Nazi fucks voted for this BS. Will Krasnov encourage his sons to join the US military and fight, fight, fight?
Yes, but that’s a price he’s perfectly willing to pay. Until the country in question bends the knee to the new emperor orangue - Lord President Trumpsky will slaughter as many people as he needs, American, enemy, doesn’t matter… it’s a money thing. Has nothing to do with countries - people like trump think they’re above countries.
I hear he’s going to start up the draft again. They need bodies to toss into the mulching machine. 18 (or earlier) to 40 eligible for the draft. Hillbilly shitkicking goat roping jerkoffs welcome of any age. You old fat guys make good sand bags.
It’s still crazy to me he said it out loud. I was certain he wouldn’t address it
Man i hope these fuckers die there.
Hopefully some will do the right thing.
I hope y’all are ready to fight and die for Israel!
Some of you will die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Can we at least send out the fascists to die first? Not that I’m advocating we kill them necessarily, but might makes right is a big part of their ideology so like it’s more like practicing what they preach? Kinda??
But according to Trump, those are losers, anyway. Just to remind you how the imbecile that started the war values the ones who have to be at the front.
“We must take Poland by the spring.”
