Title skips the part that says āLet them take out (the cities)ā
Fucking idiot.
āPresident Donald Trump suggested that Iran could ātake outā Los Angeles and San Diego if it were allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, drawing condemnation from California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called the remarks āderanged and dangerous.ā
No other party affiliation suggests killing their opposing party more than maga republicans and especially this stupid fucking pedophile. The only reason he said this is because these are the largest blue cities in California. Heās a scared fat piece of shit, as he should be.
Major sanewashing here. What he was saying was that heād be fine with it, and his bloodthirsty, genocidal fans cheered him for it.
this makes it even worse
Yes, so much worse. Itās journalistic malpractice for ABC to strip the actual intent like this.
The Republican base has basically never forgiven the rest of us for desegregation, and theyāve been pining for their revenge ever since. Murdering liberals has been standard conservative cooler talk for at least 30 years.
I wish I could say this outburst surprised me but it doesnāt.
The Union should have shot/hung more Confederates.
This time we wonāt make the same mistake. Count on it.
Underrated take. Theyāve been seething since the civil war.
Oh, not even slightly. This didnāt start with Trump, he just said it out loud where everyone could hear.
God dammit, old man! Why wonāt you DIE?!!
Republicans are motivated by fear, and lack the empathy to realize other people think differently.
Itās why with 5 minutes of training you can determine political party affiliation with like 80% accuracy in a count that has lower that 80% voter turnout.
Itās not a permanent difference, even well into your 60s it can change.
But thatās why Trump thinks this would gain votes in Cali, they assume if Dems are afraid theyāll vote R. Which did kind of happen after 9/11. But a hypothetical isnāt going to be the same.
Always great to see that he has our best interests at heart.
If I survive to see a day when this sad excuse for an ape loses its ability to convert oxygen to carbon dioxide at will, the wave of relief and joy Iāll feel will be tantalizing. Iāve never been great at delayed satisfaction, but in this case itāll be well worth it.
Itās going to be the biggest spontaneous global party in living memory.
Canāt wait to see the conservatives crying about ādecorumā and ārespectā while people from Chicago to Cairo are dancing in the street at the news.
Didnāt this fucker already threaten to nuke LA himself?
Trump is way more of a threat to LA than Iran ever could be.
San Diego is the home of the pacific fleet, second largest US navel base. It is also home of Camp Pendleton, west coast headquarters for the marine corps. Between San Diego and Los Angeles is the Seal Beach Navel Weapons station, a major munitions depot.
What a fucking moron.
And is filled with veterans.
So fuck them again / more I guess.
Where do I go to get my own navel weapon? It seems like all I have, right now, is a pointless hole that does nothing useful.
First you have to get an Audi
Theyād take out DC first, and maybe Mar-a-lago for funzies.
Keep in mind the source of this brilliant idea comes from trump - Iranās leadership are by and large evil bastards, but theyāre not anything like as stupid as that orange clown; thereās no world where Iran would attack the US mainland, because theyāre relying on the vast lack of US political will to continue to keep trumpās wild despotic aspirations in check. Obliterating LA would similarly obliterate the hesitation to endanger US assets, and would end very badly for everyone involved.
True, if they get a nuclear weapon (which they 100% should do) theyāll probably aim it at Abu Dhabi and Riyadh and let the implications do their work.
I find the idea that nuclear proliferation to theocratic despots could in any way be a positive development a littleā¦ difficult to believe. Itās bad enough with the nuclear states we have now - we donāt need another Israel in the region. Although, a nuclear Muslim state would give us all three major branches of the abrahamic religions. Terrifying sure, but think of what a nice symmetry it would give to geopoliticsā¦

Itād definitely restrain Israel and crew, and the Iranian regime isnāt dumb enough to actually use a nuke.

Thatās basically reasoning from vibes so thereās really nothing for me to say here without a thought process I can respond to, but also for example the Soviets getting nukes was definitely an improvement over only America having them. Deterrence works.
āA well armed (global) populace has nothing to fearā is certainly an outlook one can have - though I think itās rather myopic, Iām not really interested in getting into a debate about the hypothetical benefits to giving nukes to a brutally repressive theocracy right now. I hope you have a very nice day.
Yeah, and so could Papa New Guinea. Turns out you can say any kind of random bullshit.
I think the Iranians just want to fuck with Trump so if they pull off attacks in the US theyāll all be in republican cities and states.
A fascist strongman wants few things more than an attack that kills many but is ultimately economically superficial.
Edit: damn, LAās GDP is $1.7T. I still stick by my statement. Mr $2.5T debt a year would probably be excited at the faster timeline to crash the dollar. Most dictators want to maintain their country. trump does not.
If LA were to get hit basically all shipments via the Pacific (China, Japan, Korea) will get absolutely FUBARād. LA/LB are the top two US ports. Period. Itās a huge complex that would take Iād guess a decade of very diligent work to build something like it again; if a suitable location could even be found.
If SD gets hit our Navy is fucked. Pendleton is massive in scope and scale. If you drive down the 5 from OC to SD youāre surrounded by military owned land for the majority of the drive.
CA is the WORLDās 4th larger economy. If CA gets hit it would create such a fundamental change to the US that it might not survive.
I completely agree.
The magnitude of destruction at an attack like that would be exactly what trumpās techbro handlers are looking for. They want to split the US into several fiefdoms, each ruled by a tech demigod.
This is why trump is āparadoxicallyā running the country he āwants to be dictator ofā into the ground.
it needs to get so bad that Americans never do it again, and Im starting to think the US is just gonna shrug this next couple years off like its nothin. the new normal.
i hope im wrong.
We are being played out, his drama is a distraction. Stop adding to the drama, because that is exactly what they want from you/us, thatās the goal. Just observe, and never react from emotion, including posting comments online.
The drama divides, wastes time, separates the people, and creates points of leverage for control. Trump is most likely a fall guy, and the real threat is behind the scenes. So they are using Trumpās (and maga etc) antics as distraction so people will place energy on them instead of the real problem.
And the real problem could possibly be more dark than what people believe.
Enough with the ā5d chessā bullshit. Itās not. They are literally this fucking dumb and itās ok and correct to be angry theyāre destroying the country.
