US Politics Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

They are far from immune, prices at the pump in the US have already gone up and are at their highest since 22/23.

and it's not just prices at the pump, it will hit everything.
at a time when the country is struggling with affordability, Trump cannot allow this to go past a month.

The USA is not immune from oil price shocks as, despite being the worlds largest oil producer, it consumes more oil than it produces with Canada being the largest exporter the US.
I'd take what Trump says about petrol prices with a massive pinch of salt.

Sound logical, everyone needs oil after all.
To me, he's done the hardest part by lobbing all the deck of cards up in the air, now let them fall whilst going to play a shit round of golf as businesses/Politicians etc start to come forward..

If the Yanks were reliant on the oil themselves, then the situation would be different but they have already took that in to their calculations that it won't effect them with "drill baby drill", so it's really everyone else's concern now getting hold of the oil if we want to be brutally honest about it.

That would be a terrible choice. The US might have a high level of energy independance but they do not have economic independance.

The longer this goes, the higher the price of oil for everyone, the bigger the inflation impact, the bigger the hit on the markets, the higher the yield goes on treasurys............ and so on.


The best course of action is walking away now and pursue a diplomatic solution.

I didn't realise Iran had a population of 90 mil, becoming concerning now, see Sri Lanka have called a national holiday for tomorrow to preserve fuel etc. Someone needs to get a handle on this?

Let's forget about your stupid unrealistic comments about signing up or me being nonce zźzzźzzźźzzz 
No one on here here is going to be physically or realistically involved in this Iran war
But I'm gonna back Trump on this one as l think the mad mullahs seriously do need taking out 
He's taken one of them out already - what has changed? nothing.

No sign of regime change and the poor people of Iran have had their country bombed to shit, the infrastructure destroyed and the economy ruined. How have they benefitted?
Trump stepped up with a Bold and courageous move to take out the Iranian regime. He could have easily rode out the next 7 months for the mid terms instead he did what is right for man kind.

Starmer the Muslim obviously won’t go along the cսnt, no surprise there. You better hope you don’t need the USA ‘s help with Russia any time soon.

Trump is the only one who is standing up against the Islamic invasion (although Japan has caught on and Italy are starting to catch a clue too) and all you wankers can do is criticize.

You truly do deserve everything that is coming your way.

And it wasn’t be pretty.
The bold and courageous Trump. When he’s not drafted for Vietnam.

Iran is very different from its neighbours apart from the theocratic autocracy thing.
The population is a huge, 90+ million, and very well educated as they have a large and very good university system. Acedemia is encouraged.
It is also a very old civillisation indeed. A friend of mine at university was an Iranian immigrant and resolutely Persian, a Zarostratan and loved his beer and cricket.
I read an article years ago about Iranian students popping over the border to Turkey for rave nights at clubs largely run by expat Persians.

Trump tells us he has won already and doesn’t need any help
Now he is begging for help and reckons he will leave NATO if he doesn’t get it
The man is clinically insane
Not sure if it’s the dementia or his overall psychosis 
Am just hoping he remains a little bit competent so that he doesn’t wriggle out of the charges of enriching himself in office.
Oh yeah and his paedo escapades with his mate Jeff
That trial will blow the OJ one away

Taking out at least 47 of their top cunts, including the main man himself whilst also leaving his incumbent half dead son that makes Stephen Hawkings look more alive, is fairly significant Regime change in itself. Sure, I get it isn't the entire kit and kaboodle (yet) but give it a bit of time eh, it's still only been 16 cunting days since the first bomb was dropped in anger. Hitler/Nazis took 6 years. 😊
Problem for Trump is time. Another couple of weeks of this and it becomes more than a short term shock.

First off Bombing Iran is about stopping these lunatics from developing a nuclear bomb. They insisted on enriching Uranium to weapons grade. The US offered them free nuclear energy forever and they refused it.

So Bombingvthe shot out of their facilities absolutely works in delaying their ambitions.

As for more refugees they’re coming anyway you dope.

As for them not liking us I don’t think anyone on this planet other than you perhaps cares. It’s not as if they are gonna change their hatred any time soon you idiot. The hate is real and it will remain wether we bomb Iran or not.

You really are too stupid to take seriously.

Kids and women are getting raped and attacked all over the country, you can criticize Trump and his war but don’t you dare criticize Islam or Starmer.

You’re being invaded and you’re criticizing the only person on this planet that is standing up for you. There’s a term for people like you, it’s fucking Idiot!
So why not just bomb the nuclear facilities then? Like last time when they were obliterated and put them back decades.

This will obviously cause more refugees, you can't moan about refugees and then actively create more refugees. It is constant US meddling in the ME that has caused untold issues over the last couple of decades.

Takes a huge amount of mental gymnastics to turn an objection to an illegal war being about immigration, bravo on that one.
What happened to that regime changed you said was coming at the weekend? All those people you claimed were out on the streets?

i look forward to another post of deflection and whataboutism.
Your lack of foresight is truly unbelievable.

They did bomb their nuclear facilities they also bombed their missile launchers and air defense systems and radar, Gee I wonder why they would have done that?

They also went after the regimes top officials and cleaned up that mess. Gee I wonder why they would have done that?

Niw they are trying to get the good people of Iran to stand up for their freedoms and bring about lasting change. Gee I wonder why they would that?

In the mean time they will continue to hit their ability to fight back but preserve their oil refineries and wells as to not disrupt oil supply. Gee I wonder why they would do that?

If for whatever reason the Persians turn in to Brits and do nothing to stop the evil of Islam then my guess is the US will send in troops to finish off the regime. Gee I wonder why they would do that?


Yeah it will be messy and yeah there will be issues that arise from it but at the end of the day they will not get a Nuke. That is what fucking matters you immense Mong!
 
 
Lack of foresight like entering this war without realising that Iran would weaponise energy, and then being forced into begging for help to sort it?

So far they have just replaced like for like. No regime change despite how many dupes you fall for on twitter.

by the way, so far the US/Israel have destroyed oil facilities in Tehran, Karaj and Aghdadieh.

What religion do you suppose Persians are? Are you gonna change the religion of Iran now as well?

You’re such a drama queen.

Is bombing the shit out of Iran somehow standing up to the Islamic invasion? Do you think there will be more or less refugees after this?

And all the people in Iran that have seen their country destroyed, do you think they will suddenly have a greater love for the US after this? Or do you think the region will be even more anti US/Israel? How many US embassies have been attacked so far by locals?

I think criticism of an illegal war is fair game.
