Trump On Fence About Attending Ayatollah’s Funeral

WASHINGTON—Carefully weighing the implications of his presence at a particularly tense moment in relations between Iran and the United States, President Trump told reporters Monday that he remained on the fence about attending the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “If I go, I think it’ll really...

LE will tell you that sometimes murderers do attend the funeral of those they kill.


ETA: Just goes to prove how brave that coward is... NOT!

Or, as we heard during the 1972 campaign, “Why change Dicks in the middle of a screw? Vote for Nixon in ‘72!”

Funny. I had never heard that, which is too bad, as I was always almost as great a Nixon hater as my father was. He died in 1973, and I'm sorry he never got to hear that one!

I do remember, though, that in the 1956 campaign, when the R. slogan was "Stick with Ike," he went around adding a little sign below them, so that the signs read "Stick with Ike ....And you're stuck with Dick."

And the fact that he is a stroke survivor isn't an excuse. He's perfectly lucid when he wants to be.

No. He's lucid but there's something missing.

I hope the special relationship with the USA is over.

Trump belittles Starmer with 'no Churchill' jibe but can the special relationship recover?

The remarks came amid a row over the refusal to permit the use of UK bases for the initial US-Israel strikes.

The narcissistic man baby is such a hateful bully, that I would happily pretty much ditch all relationships with the USA. Goodbye and good riddance.

I presume we're heading back to the old Bush standby, that you shouldn't change horses in midstream - said of course as the horse is drowning after being jumped off a cliff. demented and stumbling towards a tar pit

Altered your metaphor

Trump is Putin and Netanyahu's bitch. He fights for them.

Churchill was of course the author of the disastrous Dardanelles campaign, so I for one am grateful for this.

Trump: I'm not happy with the UK either. That island. He made a lease of the island. Somebody came and took it away from him. And it's taken 3 or 4 days for us to work out where we can land. This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.

Perhaps we should go back to the way the "special relationship" worked in Churchill's day, and wait two years or so before getting involved.

 

[Mojo]

But I am afraid some people are falling into the Enemy of my Enemy is my friend trap, and are beginning to basically be apologist for the Iranian regime.

Examples, please.

I'm sure we can send sell them some aid.

German Chancellor Merz after meeting with Trump on Iran:

It is indeed the case that at least the American government, according to my level of knowledge and insight today, has no really formulated strategy about the future civil leadership of this country

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

Twenty-three years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

But which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalized increase in energy prices

I'm sure we can send sell them some aid.

Maybe Norway can send tropps in exchange for mineral rights in the US and dirt on right-wing political opponents.

I'm seeing claims that there have been instances of US military commanders telling troops that the Iran war is to prepare for Armageddon.

Military Leaders Say Iran War Is So Trump Can Bring About “Armageddon”

Troops have logged more than 110 complaints about such comments with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

The sole source of this story is a heavily doctored email from Mikey Weinstein that reads more like an advert for the FFRF than an actual complaint. https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/before-you-share-that-story-about

I reckon it's likely that this ideology is floating around the place, but there's no real evidence of it.

Johnson: The idea that a few colleagues here would try to move a war powers motion and resolution to the floor right now is dangerous. It plays right into the hands of the enemy. I think it's shameful.

Which enemy? I thought you killed them all and were just mopping up their minions.

So having "won", could you leave...like...right now, please? Just go? In fact, ◊◊◊◊ right off?
