Donald Trump has threatened that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks US vessels trying to reopen a route through the strait of Hormuz.

The US launched an operation on Monday to help hundreds of ships trapped with their crews in the Gulf, dragging the region back to the brink of full-scale war.

Over 800 ships and roughly 20,000 crew members remain stranded in the region.

    So are we at war or not? Last week he said the war was over because there was a cease fire in place. Then, over the weekend, when asked about gas prices, he said they’d drop immediately “after the war was over.” So which is it, donnie? Make up your mind, you brainless pos.

      I know it’s a joke, but people who don’t know what they are doing are relatively easy to predict.

      Content warning: needless uninvited pedantry ahead

      Trump acts like a toddler. And any parent can tell you that predicting the inevitably dumb behavior of your toddler isn’t rocket science.

      He’s so predictably stupid and selfish that most of the time, everyone else but him knows what he’s doing. It’s a fun meme but I think the reality is the opposite.

          And that’s why we were all legitimately worried that he’d try to nuke Iran.

    USA nukes good Iran having them bad. That’s the global narrative driven by the country threatening to nuke Iran.

    Remember when people thought Biden/Kamala were big bad genociders and didn’t vote or voted 3rd party, resulting in Pedo Don becoming president, and now Pedo Don is casually talking about wiping a nation of people out of existence?

    Good job guys.

    Glad the people who wouldnt vote over Palestine arent responsible for anything, even morally. Its morally right to be in favour of multiple genocides, especially ones our president threatens personally.

    This train wreck is as painful to watch as a B horror movie.

    This numbnut is walking into an obvious trap. They’re baiting major assets of the USN using ratty little fast boats.

    Now that they’re in striking range, their defense have to be lucky every single day, multiple times per day. If the Iranians are lucky once, they destroy billions of dollars in hardware, get major bragging rights, and thousands of GI families at home get to look up the lyrics to “Fortunate Son.”

    Feckless feculence mainly resides at the Florida Blight House whilst Kegsbreath Kevin prosecutes their war crimes against humanity in the Caribbean, the Middle East & elsewhere, draining the USA of resources once utilized to care for our friends, families & neighbors in our various communities.

    He couldnt even successfully escort ships for 2 days. And he is not able to keep those ships supplied. How is he going to threaten iran with much of anything? What are we going to do, bleed on them?
