Not enough USians are angry enough at their own Govenment. This isn’t for other countries to solve. He’s your boy, no matter who voted for him.

So. Are we here? Are we just all watching two rogue states obliterate other countries and cultures and people while we do nothing?

The UN has very clearly outlived its purpose.

Profiteers like Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams are salivating in the wings.

Bomb it then rebuild it for profit.

He’s got a few brand new hospitals he’d like to sell Iranians once the dust and oil residue settles.

No. I don’t think so. You don’t get to don the “good guy”(also questionable) cape while you’re on holiday. I’m not saying everyone voted for Trump but he’s your guy. Your problem. He threatens our sovereignty all the time. If I was in Italy and found USians lying about who they were, I’d be angry.

Every bit of infrastructure the US and Israel are bombing in Iran, they will profit it from in contracts to replace it.

It has never been more clear to me why the world needs to divest from fossil fuels.

Oil.
Venezuela. Iran. Cuba.

Israel, USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia

This is all about oil.

Reliance is compliance.
Reliance is death.

Spain’s Member of Europe Parliament Irene Montero: “Because no one stopped the genocide in Gaza, the United States and Israel are now targeting Venezuela and Iran. We must isolate the U.S. and Israel now, so they can no longer spread terror across the globe.”

Israel has bombed Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon. Israel goaded the U.S. into this war. They have committed genocide and murdered thousands of children.
They bought and paid for American politicians to screw the outcome of an election, mainly Trump and his GOP allies. It’s a close second.

Canada wants to stay beholden to fossil fuels, one of the primary drivers of what is happening now in Iran.

“No enemy in a normal war has done to the US military what the Iranians are doing to it right now. This defies belief. The military situation is so bad that censorship blocks practically every piece of new information about this war. We’re being exposed to less and less every day.”

Oh they’re doing a pretty good job in Iran. A airport, Hospitals, a stadium, cultural centres, schools- don’t forget the schools.

The Iranians who thought they’d be bringing freedom and not death will never forgive them.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

The feeling of power over the powerless without concern for consequences is the same mentality of force he uses in war. Same language.

“Grab them my the p%#ssy. They let you do it, when you’re a star.”

GOP enablers let him do whatever he wants, applaud.

He is a rapist in everything he does.
