    Yes. So fucking obviously yes. He claimed days before the farcical “negotiations” recently that he would be getting some of the bribe money, so there’s really no question that was one of his demands. And now that’s he’s been told no, he’s throwing a tantrum like the baby we all know he is.

      I would love to know what each party brought to the table, cause the media isnt saying Iran bad, but its implied.

        The US media? Oh they choose their wording carefully, sure, but the message absolutely is Iran bad. Has been for years.

        And they brought a plan for peace, including what they felt were reasonable concessions; we brought accusations and a list of demands for surrender, control, and money. I thought that was kinda obvious.

          Not just USA media.

          But yes, the message has always been Iran bad. With these negotiations though no one has said its Iran thats been in the wrong.

          Edit: they arent saying Iran bad, just leading you there.

            Oh. Huh. Yeah, I can see that. It’s fucking weird that the assholes running this dumpster fire right now are so damn stupid they can’t get the propaganda right (even Dubya was better at towing the party line, and that moron was probably high off his ass for most of his speeches). Messes with my head. But, I concede that point.

                Corporate armies taking over? WW3? Just a really fucking sloppy way to make billionaires richer?

                Yeah, with you on that one…

        There’s rumors that the massive levels of corruption in our military has resulted in lower stockpiles and overall combat readiness than claimed, and that a prolonged conflict will eventually reveal that.

        Fucking hell I do not want the world to find out, though. Cause all that insane bastard would have left would be nukes. And the common folk like myself are all living paycheck to paycheck, absolutely no safety net, pretending we’re all doing well but actually afraid of any disruption - because that would land a man in the streets and homeless.

        So, pray he breaks our collective backs and we finally rise up first; but the propaganda here is beyond belief, so that’s gonna take a lot to say the least. 🤕

          Rumours? The US is already reneging on deliveries because it’s stockpiles are depleted. Launching billions upon billions of dollars of hightech missiles at Iran punched a huge hole in the US stockpiles, to relatively little effect.

          The Iran war had the same problem as Vietnam. You can’t use a million dollar weapon to take out a ten thousand dollar weapon and expect long-term success. So the Trump government did what they do best, and tried to solve the problem by making the same mistake more rapidly and at greater scale.

            Fair. Mango Mussolini is clearly desperate in his attempts to bully others into doing his dirty work for him.
