Iran War

[Darth Wagtaros]

What a pathetic jackass.

[PRC]

"Praise be to Allah!" sayeth Donald Trump on Easter Day.  It really is astounding.

[Tamas]

Donald Trump said "I don't want to talk about that" when asked about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran, and threatened that the "whole country" would be "gone" if it doesn't accept a deal.

In an interview with ABC's Rachel Scott:, reportedly Trump said: "Well, I don't want to talk about that. But the civilians want me to do it. Okay, the civilians, you know, when they're most unhappy, when they don't hear bombs going off because they're living in hell."

When asked if he would move back his deadline for Iran, he said "I don't want to talk about it, they have plenty of time to make a deal. If they don't want to make a deal — their whole country is gone," he said.

There's things the burgers can do extremely well. One of them is saving their own downed airmen in the middle of Iran.  Imagine being a russian aviator "wait, you guys get rescued".

burgers voted for this.

I'm so sick of burgers appointing the dregs.

They should and must be ruled by cosmopolitan men who speak 4 languages, inherited wealth and are much smarter than me.



Rested, ready, tanned.

If it wasn't a brutal terror regime, I'd kinda like them just for the stuff they post online.

Likely the reason OpenAI is pulling the plug on Sora.

Seen on the internet re: the war in Iran: "the first five years of a three day special military operation are always the hardest."

Saw an Iranian propaganda video from TikTok. Rap, overlaid on Lego style animation, mocking Trump. It was really well done.

When asked if destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime, Trump dehumanised Iranians and called them animals. Another step in his fascism speedrun.

"You have been ordered to fire on civilian targets. Is this what you signed up for?"

When I watched Babylon 5 when it first aired, I thought the depiction of the Earth dictatorship was cartoonishly simplistic.  But it turns out it was bang on.

I always felt that the use of obviously Nazi-coded (or outright actual Nazis) as villains was too ham fisted and more subtle bad guys would be better. But no, apparently we didn't hammer "Nazis are the bad guys" enough.

That's not new. Trump has been calling foreigners subhuman for decades, it was a big part of all of his Presidential campaigns.

This is what the AfD wants for Germany.

[The Minsky Moment]

The American President is dropping F bombs and praising Allah on Easter Sunday, while the Islamic Republic of Iran is responding with Lego-themed hip hop diss track videos.

Whatever is running the simulation we are all in is trolling us hard.

[Bauer]

So has the zone been flooded with so much illegal shit at this point that we don't care about civilian infrastructure being targeted with no apparent military reason?
