Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.
Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Okay, relatively minor point here, but doesn’t this seem like an odd closing sentence? This is how you end a letter to a cereal maker when you find a Fruit Loop in your Cheerios. It’s not how you end a tweet when you’re talking about assassinating a major political/cultural figure and possibly triggering WWIII.
Behind the scenes, it’s a complete Cluster Fuck. Good luck to those in the military or planning on joining who did not vote for the orange turd. For the MAGA in uniform, you deserve the shit that is going to fly all over the place with this war.
I wonder how long this has been in planning. Technically, the US military is prepared for desert operations.
Even if we aren’t. He will claim the W and act like it is all him. His ego needs it right now.
The narrative was that Israel had gone behind his back and it made him look weak. Now it looks like Israel is winning and Trump needs to claim he was part of it. No, not “part of it”, the reason why.
Particularly in foreign politics, he badly needs a win: turns out international trade is not as easy as imposing tariffs and waiting for countries to call him with big offers and Diplomacy (who knew) takes more than a “Vladimir stop” post on social. He needs something quick to show in-between golf games to get his popularity above “get my teeth drilled by the dentist” level again.
This is probably how that bill will be passed in the senate. US goes to war… we need to spend spend spend!
Meanwhile Iran sent a few more missiles to Israel last night. That’s how much credibility this clown has.
President of “peace”
Who has numerously times threatened neighbours and allies with invasion as well.
“Piece”. He wants the world go into pieces.
This guy does not have complete control over anything, including his butt hole, bladder, or mouth. Why does anyone believe a word that slips past those fat painted lips of his is beyond me?!
His GI Joe military birthday parade didn’t go how he wanted, so now he’s going to punish the military by sending them to war. They didn’t goosestep for him. Someone needs to pay.
Yeah, I interpret his statement as “us” having no control and things being a mess and that it’s all fucked.
Sure but what does Iran have to defend itself? Isn’t it mostly outdated tech? It doesn’t sound very difficult to maintain air superiority in that area
Cool how the president can just declare war now with no heads up or permission from Congress with no consequences. The democrats sure have gotten fucking quiet these last several weeks
Presidents can attack basically anyone under the blanket provisions given for 9/11
Congress is about 70% Holden Bloodfeasts.
The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
Pretty much this. Multiple generations of war TV have pointed this out. MASH has an episode about it for chrissakes.
I don’t even think the Democratic party exists anymore, not really… Just crickets
Bold of you to assume that Democrats haven’t been getting rich off the industrial-military complex
When they speak up I’m sure that makes you angry also
When they speak up
So you can openly admit they’re not even bothering to do the bare minimum of speaking out about this stuff, yet still attack anyone who dares criticize them for the very inaction you referred to yourself?
they’ve literally introduced legislation to stop the war
Whoa, I guess we’re all safe and sound then. Time to pack it up and go home.
Yeah we did it 🙌 That was a close one brooooooooooo ^^🙄
my point is you’re claiming they’re doing nothing when they’re literally doing what they’re supposed to fucking do
They could mobilize their base for unending mass demonstration and a general strike. Shut down the country until the fascists capitulate.
They won’t. Instead they’ll side with the regime and criticize protesters for being too violent.
They are not in a position to do anything. So regardless of the name of the bill or the intention of it, it’s not going to pass. They don’t have the votes. But they do have enough to stop certain things, so let’s look at that-… Oh, I guess fetterman is… conservative now. 😳 Oopsy-poopsy, and, is that, yep Schumer just capitulated at a critical moment in exchange for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Fair enough, so, what about when they held a super majority. I’ll bet it was a blitz of kick ass legisl-… Wait, NOTHING?!? They did NOTHING??? THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPUNGE THE FILIBUSTER PERMANENTLY, FOR FUCKING EVER, AND THEY DID
###NOTHING - FUCKING GOOSE EGG - “PUT AN EGG IN YOUR SHOE AND BEAT IT” ~DNC
I’m obviously saying that they do speak up and this same type of commentary gets pissed about that too. They (and apparently you too) want Democrats to pull power out of their ass.

Why shouldn’t they? That’s exactly what Republicans are doing. These people specifically ran to represent us and they need to act like it.
I believe you failed civics class. Try again?
Oh, good one! Maybe you can send your Civics textbook to Donald Trump and he’ll realize the error of his ways. Great solution to the problem.
It’s totally the fault of the people with no power! Down with the powerless! Down with the powerless!
The people who could be proposing to impeach like they did last time but are now not? We have even more cause now.
now
Where have you been these last 25 years?
Hey Republicans, you can fire him at any point. You can also reign him in at any time. Why aren’t you?
Why would they stop him from doing what they want?
Do you have any idea how much money war brings to the USA?
yes about 800+billion/year for defense budget. at least close or more than half goes to defense contractors: boeing, raytheon, musk,etc.
For rich people specifically, but I’m guessing you were implying that.
We all know how this is gonna go if we go down this path. Ah, the good ol’ days.
You mean the old good old days?
I forgot about those! I totally had some as a kid, you have brought back some memories.

What are those plates on the stand? For some reason I thought they were were a new thing related to signal jamming/disruption - but I must be off if they were used then.
So is Trump claiming that in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems?
Pressing X to doubt here
With how powerful our military and air force is honestly it’s more believable than not.
in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems
Given how insanely powerful the US Armed Forces can be, objectively speaking, that’s honestly not entirely unbelievable.
live near a US Air Force Base. It hasn’t mobilized.
I know, just saying out of all the unrealistic bullshit that comes out of Trump’s mouth hole, this isn’t that unrealistic.
It has nothing to do with us. Trump you are a piece of human shit.
Pretty insulting to human shit. Not sure what it did to deserve that.
Free Feces From Fascism!
Fecesm
War has always been business.
And his cultists will have conveniently forgotten about our abandonment of the Kurds during his first term, and suddenly be pro-expansionism again…
Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That’s what we do, right?
