What "next" or "conquest" for that matter?
America didn't conquer anything in at least half a century, and no removing a government isn't "conquest".

It's wild how millions of people will be murdered partly because this manbaby needs attention, affirmation, etc.
More about market manipulation and distraction. He does it because it's proven to work.
Sick fuck
It is a good day (for him) to die.
He's pissing off so many people, it's really only a matter of time.
'Conquest'? By basically every measure Iran was not a conquest.
Neither was Venezuala
It was kind of a conquest for Iran. Obviously it's not over yet though. It's never going to be over.
How much shit like that does he have to say before higher-ups in the government collectively realize he's unfit for office and quickly pass a common sense vote to remove him? The fuck.
Look at Stalin after 1945, who was just as insane. Everybody near Stalin knew he was insane, and causing immense damage to the Soviet Union. And nobody did anything, because the first person to make a move would be killed by Stalin. They only got rid of Stalin by "failing" to send in a doctor when Stalin had a heart attack.
I assume that in the case of both Trump, the root of the problem is the broad support among the common people. Any Republican politician who speaks strongly against Trump will 1) receive death threats from MAGA 2) be ignored and 3) be primaried HARD.
Oh brother those who were voted in perfectly know that, and they are in power because of that.
Others scream, but can't do much without people's support.
We've seen what it took the German government to get corporate money out of government, and quite honestly, I'd give the Germans a lot more credit than Americans.
Literally can't go a single day without shutting the fuck up
Doesn't he go every day without shutting the fuck up?
Gotta keep that stock market moving.
If Trump invades or threatens to invade cuba, his skills from “the Art of the Deal” will probably result in Cuba owning Texas or Florida.
Well now I want this to happen...
Going for the soft target that can‘t realistically fight back and wreck the world economy so he can claim a victory? What a weak son of a bitch he is.
Good god, a ground invasion of Cuba after sustained bombing, I can't even imagine how that would work out, except obviously not well for anyone, not the least with these guys in charge.
Here is the post:
“All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the "Shootin' Starts," bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed, a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and, the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE. In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!”
Trump always admits things by being Mr Opposite. This tells me they've been planning, or seriously discussing, nuke strikes.
I'm not sure if any of them are dumb enough, but I'm consistently surprised by how evil they all are. I'm not putting it past them at this point.
The no new wars president said he is starting new wars? I am shocked, shocked I tell ya
obviously he has to start new wars to end them , that peace price has to be paid for in blood... or something like that
So a Cuban “victory” will come with sanctions lifted, the closure of Guantanamo Bay, and South Beach ceded.
I wish, but I don't think Cuba has any kind of leverage that would cost the US anything. I'm pretty concerned that this will actually be an "easy win". :/
I don’t think Cuba has any kind of leverage that would cost the US anything.
Cubans have their own military and mid-range weapons. They aren't nearly as fortified as the Iranians, and they don't have a straight line to Russia or China for support, but they can absolutely put missiles all along the Gulf Coast if push comes to shove. They're - bare minimum - as dangerous as Yemen is to Saudi Arabia.
It would be hell on earth for the island, though. Nobody actually wants a shooting war with the US. God only knows how many civilians would die as a result.
And the real second-order consequence of a US invasion of Cuba would be the flood of refugees. People would flee the island in droves. Jamaica, the Yucatan, the Bahamas, Haiti, hell Florida - they'd be inundated with people fleeing the country. As bad as US relations are with the Caribbean states, this would make things so much worse. You're talking about and island of 10M people. It would be chaos.
Lotta oil refineries in range of Cuba.
Naval drones in the Mississippi delta would be a problem.
Iran could supply drones to Cuba. It would be one way to give the United States a swirly, and further increasing the value of the Hormuz. Why settle for being merely 20% of the world's supply of oil, when you can shrink the pie?
Unless Russia sends them some missiles. 🤔
Honestly that would be hilarious, on brand stupidity for Trump: Allows Russian "oil" to reach Cuba, along with the oil are parts for nuclear weapons, cuban missile crisis 2.0. lol
Even things like Shaheds would be a bad time. At least Florida if not much of the South would be in range. Just like the Russian imperial core we would be rudely reminded that we are not untouchable.
I figure mar a lago is in shahed range
cuban missile crisis 2.0.
Omfg Cuban missile crisis with that ding dong at the helm? The outcome would be nuclear Holocaust.
So his total failure in Iran does not stop him from trying the idiot game again...
The goal shouldn't be military conquest. We're supposed to be past the age of empires
Gotta keep distracting people from the fact that he rapes children.
As good a general as Adolf was.
And just like the First, it worked out at the very beginning when people weren't expecting it but then quickly turned to shit, just on a very accelerated timeline.
