    I’m honestly surprised every time I see Trump on screen his face isn’t just completely obscured by a massive amount of red laser sight dots.

    Seriously though, are there just no good assassins left in this world?

    He’s fucking bragging about how much if a piece of shit he is that other people want to kill him. Bragging. That’s all his life is about, bragging about this or that

      Sometimes his bragging is hilarious.

      On Italian TV there was a sports show where some pundit was saying “no but Infantino would have never bent the rules like this, it is because they noticed some problem with the VAR and we’re going to get explainations soon” - meanwhile the control room was showing on the back monitors trump “truthing” his bragging “I corrupted FIFA and I am proud of it”

    Oh please.

    Trump’s the best thing that’s happened to the Iranian government in years.

    There’s no way they’d want to assassinate a deranged moron who’s united the country under their rule, hamfistedly provided them with excuses for whatever aggression they want to engage in and is such an incompetent boob that he can’t manage to effectively counter a single move that they make.

      I swear that Americans (yes, I am one) simply have no real concept of what war is. They think it’s like Call of Duty or some shit.

      No dude, their leader was assassinated, schools are being bombed, their infrastructure is being blown up, one of their main sources is income has been shut down for like 6 months. They’re not benefiting from this.

      Iran is definitely not united. They are not benefitting from this war in any way.

        They’re not benefitting now, but any realistic settlement for this war will give them a lot of things they wanted (sanctions relief being a big one).

    yes, thats how that works. you randomly started a war that killed their leader and 150 children in the first few days.

    justifiably, everyone with a critically thinking neuron wants you dead

    So far, we’ve had several times more domestic assassination attempts on Trump than we have Iranian.

      I suspect Trump got some control (how much is real and how much is performative is unclear) of Venezuela by threatenning the surviving Venezuelan leaders with the same fate as Maduro, since the US never sent anywhere enough troops to that country to actually conquer it - actually facing the entire Venezuelan military (and any subsequent guerrilla warfare if they actually won) would be a whole different ball game from a single special ops action.

      Since that worked to get some control over Venezuela, I bet that with these threats (and his open threaths on the lives of the current Iraninan leadership and even his starting of the war by taking out the Iranian Supreme Leader) he was basically trying to do the same thing to Iran as he did to Venezuela.
