U.S. And International Politics

[Martin Weidmann]

The fact that TSD sufferers want to compare Trump to a man who was responsible for 6 million Holocaust victims and 39 million other deaths in the European theater of WWII says a lot about their lack of perspective.

Yeah that's about the same what they said when Hitler came to power.

You are cheering on a guy who has betrayed you from day one and who will dump you as soon as he has no use for you.

Many people who supported Hitler found out too late what a monster he really was. The same is happening now with Trump.

When is enough enough for you guys? The orange creep picks a fight with the pope (something even Hitler did not do) and posts a photo of himself as "God".

Hitler didn't need to pick a fight with the pope. Pius XII willfully turned a blind eye to Hitler's atrocities.

What does it take for even the most brain dead idiot to understand what is going on?

I understand what is going on. Trump is taking action against an enemy who would otherwise remain a serious threat to Americans, Israeliis, and just about everyone else who gets in the way. He could easily kick the can down the road like all of his recent predecessors did which would have allowed Iran to become a nuclear power, but he spent his political capital to defang a very dangerous enemy that has killed hundreds of Americans over the last 47 years and if left unchecked would have killed tens of thousands in the future. Maybe hundreds of thousands. Maybe millions.

Meanwhile, Trump haters would rather see Iran win this conflict than they would Trump and Netanyahu win it. NYT columnist Thomas Friedman actually said so. I'm sure a lot more are thinkng that even if they won't say so out loud.

Trump will no longer be POTUS come January 20, 2029. I love watching the TDS crowd getting their shorts in a bunch worrying about Trump not leaving office when his term runs out. One of the fringe benefits of Trump's victory is seeing the consternation from his haters. I feel their pain and I admit to deriving fiendish pleasure from it. One of my favorites is seeing Jimmy Kimmel break down in tears. It's the only thing he's ever done that makes me laugh. I wish he would do more of it. I might actually start watching his show.

  You have no idea what people were thinking back when Hitler came to power. Stop acting like you jumped through a time portal. When Trump got elected for a 3rd time, it was supposed to be the "end of democracy". Yet, here we are. "You know nothing, Jon Snow".

Not sure if the “blockade” description is reverse psychology or if it means blockading the coastline of Iran so there’s no chance of the fanatic death cult version Islamic regime  ( the false one) being able to mine the waters.

Maybe the new mission should be renamed “SafeGuard” the strait to allow all merchants ships safe passage with aid of US Navy escort ships. This could be a joint venture  with Russia, China, France , Britain and the oil from that special island can be distributed by US at bargain prices once the island is occupied and under control of the US Marines.

After fifty-plus years (it started in 1959) of KGB* disinformation, active measures (can you say Oliver Stone's "JFK"?), and mole-based strategic deception counterintelligence operations against us and our NATO allies had sufficiently dumbed-down, made paranoiac, and made apathetic a great deal of our body politic, "former" KGB counterintelligence officer Vladimir Putin installed "useful idiot" (or worse) Donald Trump as our "president" at the end of the most successful KGB "active measures" operation ever conducted (i.e., during the 2016 campaign), with help, of course, from oodles and gobs of zombified "useful idiots," many of whom are now suffering from a serious case of buyer's remorse.
