Comment on This: Trump’s “Two Weeks” is Trump Noping Out on Attacking Iran

I woke up this morning to news that THREE US fighter aircraft were shot down over Kuwait by friendly fire. FRIENDLY FIRE! Thankfully, the three pilots all ejected and parachuted to relative safety, meaning they are recovering from their injuries in hospital. Ejecting from a moving aircraft is not a gentle process, I imagine.

El Gran Narcisista doesn’t like heros who were captured, I wonder how he feels about heros who were shot down by their own military? Does he like them? Or is there something shameful about shooting down your own forces in a massive — THREE??!? FFS — friendly fire incident?

There are only two things that Le Touche de Merde and his fiendish band of minions do well:

  • LIE, and
  • Fuck shit up

It’s like the Shakiest Gun In The West co-starred with Abbot and Costello in the daytime soap drama, “The Dumb and The Stupidest.” We’ve got a real blind leading the stupid operation going here. They think they’re being so clever and effective in covering up their corruption and gutting of our democracy. Or at leas I hope they do because if aren’t, they really are just daring us to stop them, and we’re failing miserably. But that sobering thought is for another Comment on This post.

The Chronically Lying Regime Obliterates Trust with LIES!

Has the Dark Tetrad taken over the Republican Party?
The Coming Psychopathocracy: How the Dark Tetrad has taken over the Republican Party

Given that everyone in the regime is a chronic liar, you can’t believe anything they tell you. That includes everything from the reasons we’ve gone to war with Iran — the US military is now a mercenary force for hire at the disposal of the highest bidder that in this case is the Arab Gulf States and Bibi — who has been killed in the war, or the reasons that we lost three aircraft and even if we actually lost the aircraft at all. I don’t know why reporters aren’t demanding proof of every claim that the administration makes. “We regret to announce that three of our aircraft were shot down over Kuwait.” “Oh yeah, what proof do you have that (a) there were three aircraft involved, (b) it was Kuwait, (c) they were lost, (d) that it was due to being fired upon, and (e) it was friendly fire.” At this point, there is no reason to take any of them at their word.

Pistol Pete tells us that this is not a forever war. What does that mean? We have a plan for ending hostilities? We have some kind of withdrawal strategy? There are benchmarks for when we’ve achieved defined objectives after which we can stop the fighting? What in our brief history with these bozos tells you that they are capable of anything even remotely close to planning and have the discipline to follow any sort of plan. This ends when Bibi and BoneSaw are satisfied with the amount of damage inflicted on Iran. Which in Bibi’s case is seems to be when genocide of its 90 million people has been achieved.

Secretary Dry Drunk also informed us that while this wasn’t necessarily a regime change war, it did change the regime in what amounts to some clever word play? Maybe? Given their penchant for lying and impulsively doing shit and making up a reason later, did he just tell us that the whole point all along was that it was a regime change?

The Destructive Power of Sheer Incompetence

Overexposed: Executive Dysfunction, Exposing State Secrets, & Why This Will NEVER Get Any Better

In a gratuitous display of not understanding how the world works, El Gordo Naranja vowed that we would avenge the soldiers killed in the conflict. What? If every side avenged every death incurred during a conflict, there would be no end to the war.

So, comment on my conclusions here:

  • Trump is preaching to the choir with all of his BS about the war with Iran. We’re going to avenge our war dead. It wasn’t a regime change operation. They didn’t want to negotiate. All of that is just a lie he tells to mollify MAGA.
  • How much money did Trump personally make to order this operation against Iran?
  • And, the Trump regime’s gross incompetence endangers US forces more than Iran does. We’ll end up killing more of our own soldiers and destroying more of our own equipment than Iran will. And, we’ll leave ourselves more vulnerable to terrorist strikes because The Gross Idiot dismantled our counter terrorism agencies so they could all work to deport five year olds, nannies, and garnders.
  • We are so fucked

Let me know what you think of those four points, and Trump’s prosecution of the war so far in the comments.
