Iran should offer to open the strait in exchange for the USA handing over trump and his sons

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 88 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Can we please add Vance, Johnson, ivanka, kushner, Clarence Thomas, Kavanaugh, and kid rock to make sure they accept?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dig up Cheney's corpse and send it with em.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

They're a country, not a toxic waste dump.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

On second thought hold the Kid Rock, we want Iran to say yes after all

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And anyone with a net worth above $2 million

Tbh that needs to be higher, because that’s really not that much money these days. That’s just pretty much anyone who’s somewhat older and has a retirement account that’s been managed decently well, and a house.

Know what? Can’t be too safe, we send both.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 20 points 1 month ago

That’s an incredible deal for shareholder value.

lol that would be incredible. And a fantastic deal, to boot.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Also what's in for Iran? Not fair throwing out garbage at their door.

How to win at war:

  1. Start negotiating with foe
  2. Bomb foe during negotiations
  3. Declare victory, tell friends to fuck off
  4. ?
  5. Beg friends for help, because you have lost both tactical and strategic control of the situation. Threaten partners for not helping.

But what if the foe is really the Epstein files?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Then you have lost both the battle and the war.

And knowing is half the battle.

Then it was a stupid plan even from an electoral point of view.

I have an ongoing half joking bet since the 2nd day in the war that Trump will be talking about the parties in the island to distract people from the side effects of the war by June.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Double down on the distraction.

Ooh look, we've got Marines to deploy!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Sending the price of gas to the stratosphere, replacing the petrodollar schema by petroyuan, increasing the military spending by a huge margin, and antagonizing the entire world aren't enough of a distraction to guarantee people won't be thinking about it in the elections.

But doing that with 9 months of time for it to impact all the business and family budgets in your country is.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

The real enemy was the secrets we made along the way.

I live in New York City.

Besides the greed, the pedophilia, the racism, and the narcissism, the biggest problem people here have is he sheer, overwhelming stupidity.

Writer Fran Leibowitz put it best. "You don't know anybody as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don't."

The tangerine turd bit off more than he could chew, just like his employer blyatimir putrid.

The US war machine is expending itself like a senior citizen at a strip club.

It's awful to witness and truly miserable for everyone involved. But give Americans a week and they'll stumble back in clutching another fist full of Social Security cash to do it again.

You want to call these goons out as bad at strategy or wasteful of precious natural resources. But neither the US nor Russia seem to have a shortage of blood or treasure they're willing to throw away for another cheap thrill. This is it. The twilight of empire. What happens if they don't finish all over Central Europe and the Middle East, like they've been lusting after for 40 years?

You think Trump or Putin care what happens to their kids? Their grandkids? Nevermind all the young people their explosions of pent up unrealized empire ruin in the process.

This is what all those decades of Cold Warring was meant for. The grim harvest we've been growing since Truman dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and kicked off 70 years of intercontinental hate.

"You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil."

-Trump 3 weeks into the war he decided to do

Epstein Failure

No olive branch, only arrows

The world's biggest military budget! 🇺🇲🦅

But half of it is spent on overpriced fast food... 🍔🍟

Leave furries out of this!

[–] texture@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

" the operation had been mistakenly labeled Operation Epic Furry on a first-draft document circulated through the Defense Department's secure email system."

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

So they expected it to be a purely infosec war?

Having the biggest numbers and shiniest toys doesn't make up for the fact that most if not all of the competent leadership is gone.

[–] asg101@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Make America Grovel Again...

Then say "No".
