Isn't this the 3rd time during the Epstein presidency that soldiers have been served their penultimate meal?

Imagine fighting and risking your life in a foreign country on behalf of a pedophile.
You forgot oil . Those executives cant get that 5th yacht unless innocent desert children die
It means it's surf and turf Friday at the chow hall?
This is incredible.
I love this. Can't believe I didnt know this site before.
All those Iranian citizens who think the U.S. is doing this for them... They're about to find out the hard way what putting your trust in the U.S. is like, let alone Trump. You would think they'd learn from the last time.
Nobody thinks this. Lemmy users need to stop being racist like this. Iranians are not stupid, these people have agency. They know what a war with the US means, they had two of their neighbors go through it. They know it's hell, but the thing is that the regime right now is so cartoonishly evil that if a war loosens their grip on power and opens up a real possibility for a new government, then it might just be worth it.
I'm Iraqi. My family lived through the terror of Saddam Hussein. The US invasion was hell. It destabilized the country and a lot of people died. Nobody recalls that time as a good one. Yet, at the same time, you'll be hard pressed to any Iraqi that wishes the US didn't depose of that evil regime.
Is trump not cartoonishly evil too?
Edit: as short as 4 months ago, the user above was referring to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians as "the Israel-Palestine conflict". They have posts complaining about leftism on Lemmy, praising the Cybertrucks and Teslas, and edgelording AI. Also, their posting and commenting hours suggest timezones in the continent of America, contrary to their claim of being Iraqi.
The main problem in Iran and the reason why protests broke out last months is simply US + EU sanctions. The Iranian currency imploded over the past months and drove many people to desperation, the current exchange rate is like 1.5mn to 1USD, and this is unequivocally the fault of the US + EU. However bad their regime, US+EU sanctions murder HALF A MILLION PEOPLE YEARLY in the world, the death burden of these sanctions is astronomically higher than anything you can ascribe to the Iranian government. The literal, EXPLICIT POLICY of sanctions is, and I quote official US documents: "to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government".
Iran could have been a secular socialist democracy as Iranians democratically decided in the previous century under the government of Mosaddeq, but UK+USA conspired to bring the government down and brought back monarchy. The Iranian government is literally the fault of the Anglos. Stop doing atrocity propaganda for the US empire on the fucking verge of an invasion. And there are plenty of Iraqi who wholeheartedly condemn the invasion of Iraq even if it brought down the government of Saddam, because what followed was orders of magnitude worse. An example is Hakim on YouTube.
Where do you base the number of half a million deaths due to US-EU sanctions on? Because I know the EU uses sanctions, but not (at least explicitly) with the intention of causing wide scale hunger.
The source for the half a million (actually 560k a year) comes from this recent study in The Lancet medical journal. It takes into account 50 years of sanction policy and arrives to that figure of murders, yearly, since 1971.
Good on you for questioning the sources, I love seeing people critical of online figures.
There's also the water issue, and that definitely wasn't because of sanctions; and even if the reason for riots might be due to external factors, it does matter to a population how the leadership responds to it, and the response has been horrible.
Because water problems are famously well managed by which government? I'm a Spaniard, and I can tell you that our glorious European democracy™ has golf fields in Castilla La Mancha, and farmers in the vicinity of the Doñana natural park are draining the groundwaters to the point of destruction of the ecosystem.
Are people in Spain rioting due to the mismanagement of water? No. Would people riot if our currency suffered an enormous devaluation and suddenly we couldn't import basic products? Absolutely.
Yea that guy reeks like a hasbara.
One of my uncle shared the same sentiments with me; they want Iran invaded because they hope it'll get rid of the regime.
I told him that no country capable of invading Iran will do so in the interest of Iranians. He said he knows, but he sees no alternative.
In 1979 Iranians revolted against the Shah. Toronto filled up with Iranians in the 80s who ran and grabbed billions of dollars from the country. Ask any of them where they got their money and you got shady answers. The Canadian government let anyone in with money. There are so many of these people they call the city Tehranto.
These people want the return of the Shah and a corrupt crony class to steal the wealth of the country, taking trillions in oil wealth to leave most of the country in poverty.
Iran will get bombed, thousands will die, US will install a puppet Fascist and the cycle will reset. There were good reasons why the people put Ayatollahs in power.
Americans and their main character syndrome drives me up the wall sometimes. Even well meaning ones can't not interpret the world from the perspective of US doing a thing, and everything else being the consequence of that.
I just hope that most of that are bots trying to stir chaos, otherwise it's too sad
Calling out USA on its atrocities and its bad rep with foreign interference throughout history is USdefaultism now?
WTF are you smoking?
You're more bot-like than the OP. Just calling names making things up to manufacture consent in a made up reality in a bot farm.

You're not talking about reality, you're talking about your perception and your perception is built on a negative stereotype meme.
the regime right now is so cartoonishly evil
Not sure if you mean the regime in Iran or USA.
Both can be true but what's the point of your comment?
I don't think that's true. the US one has definite cartoon vibes. The Iran one seems a bit more "physical"
Sorry, let me clarify that my comment wasn't meant to express an opinion, but to ask why their response was to skip the main content of OP's post and ask that question. However as another user pointed out OP seems to be a Tesla shill amongst other things, so I guess neither of those posters is worth engaging with. The internet is miraculous
Yeah, the US has a level of incompetence to it that makes it somewhat amusing, from a distance.
The Iranian regime is a lot better at what they do, and that's the scary part.
I'm not saying this isn't a sign of something, but Surf and Turf nights are fairly common at overseas bases. Sometimes once a week.
EDIT: Pie is pretty much nightly anywhere with real kitchen.
Found the Zoomie...
We were lucky to not be thrown an omelette mre off the back of a deuce and a half.
@ickplant Putting soldiers in harms way to distract from the epstein files should get the fat fuck the death sentence.
I've been saying that cutting USAID and the nearly million deaths that followed in the subsequent months as a direct result of cutting a program that as much as a couple of his planned ballrooms, should get him hanged slowly at the hague.
Out of everything he's done, this along with rolling back environmental protections will have caused the most harm and suffering to humanity and these are the things getting the least attention.
Imagine having the power to ruin the lives of countless millions of living souls and doing it for no other reason than to prove how "not woke" you are and to add another several cents per share to your donor's investments.
Nixon and Reagan both conspired with hostile foreign governments to win elections and we let both of those guys off the hook. Why would this be different?

Pedos or not there is no way the USA would stay out of waging new wars either way, it's literally its bread and butter and can't exist without it. The machine is getting itchy, it needs blood, that simple.

They're gonna go kill brown people to get the focus off of the richest ruling elite in the world (including their own commander in chief) trafficking, raping, and murdering children.
So exactly what has been keeping the US alive for over a century, yes.

My dad who served in Vietnam looked at this tweet and went silent. My mom is now really upset. I am so tired.
But they still both voted Trump 3x, right?
No foreign wars #2.
Pedophilic Boogaloo
Isn't this an old tweet? Why is there no date on it.
Okay. And for those of us that haven’t served what does it mean? Fucking gate keepers, man.
It's like in games when there is suddenly a room with lots of healing items and ammo you know there is a hard fight coming up
Such good food is served to boost morale and mood of soldiers before the battle. In this case, before a new war. To be more precise: before war between the USA and Iran(and Israel as an ally).
