    Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy

    Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations

    Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house

    Commits uncountable war crimes

    Still loses in just 3 weeks

    It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can’t even do imperialist forever wars now.

    The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there’s nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of humiliation hallucination for the USA

    Fuck 'em. Trump has lived his entire existence on bail outs. Most US (younger) citizens also feel like the US need to be allowed to struggle to allow a reset from the two only political options to something that is a voice and choice.

    We had to wait a few months for Iraq to turn into a disaster. Trump is the fastest war president ever.

    A trillion a year, whole economy based on neverending warfare and that’s the best they can do?

    They’ve made some incredibly and impressively stupid strategic errors even leaving aside poor preparation and the stupidity of attacking iran. That’s what happens when you put bootlickers in charge.

      Trump just didn’t magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that’s the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he’ll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.

      Its not one man. Just look at the Epstein class. It never was about voting the right people, it was always about managing the class conflict.
