This is the insane idiotic part. Helping Russia directly helps Iran who in theory he’s trying to win a war against.

Helping Russia is a total moral breakdown but it is also insane strategic stupidity.

Yeah he’s not trying to win a war against them, rather keep oil high to enrich himself and friends.

And this is some of the strongest evidence that the November elections are already compromised. No political strategist, no matter how corrupt or insane, could look at that strategy, comprehend how it's going to keep oil prices sky high, and think it's conducive to legitimately maintaining power.

Almost makes you wonder if the entire point of attacking Iran was just to consume as much munitions as possible from the US army while getting their bases destroyed in the region, doesn't it? A grand act of self sabotage that just required an unwilling partner (Iran) to get it done.

He isn’t thinking this deeply. He’s dumb and the people advising him are dumb.

No, but Putin is smart enough to manipulate trump into doing it.

Trump reportedly watches OAN and Fox all day long, and we know Russia has been influencing our press for a long time. We know it’s effective propaganda on the massive, but you have to figure that propaganda is pointed firmly at trump and goading him into doing what they want him to do. Push stories like “trump would never dare to do that” from some “radical leftist” and then have a bunch of sycophants rant “Trump could, and absolutely should do this, it’s what any brave president would do.” And then, sitting in the situation room, someone asks trump which option to choose and he chooses the one that he has heard would make him brave and smart

That was actually my thought too seeing how that would actually make sense why he does certain things that otherwise make no sense at all.

Of course I can’t actually prove it but if you want to really damage the US military purging all those generals and deplete all their ammunitions this would be the way to go.

It would also give an excuse to not send Ukraine the stuff they were promised.

The problem is that some of us knew from the start.

The far bigger problem is some of them will never get there.

Just look at all the far right parties in EU and the people who vote for them. The combined iq there is like bellow 90 at best. Ngl I think everyone should have right to vote but I wouldnt be against if people were able to vote only if they finished high school. That way you would cut out lot of idiots who are easily tricked by miss information and other bullshit interference. Obviously it wouldnt cut all the idiots but big portion of them will be dealt with this way.

Trumpists could paint the White House red and put a Stalin Statue in front, and Maga and all the corrupt politicians paid off by Russia would not bat an eye.

It's not stupidity, do you know how many people tell him exactly that every day? He is working for putin. Even the war on iran is good for putin. Every single thing he does benefits putin. And amaericans are still like "oh why is he so stupid lol"

As Trump decided to help Russia, who will in turn help Iran attack America.

Can an American who supports Trump make sense of this?

Trump supporters don't have the analytical skills to make these connections.

More like Iran will help destroying GCC economy by crippling its Oil industry, thus making the US and Russia the major oil exporters.

5

u/AshundertheOlivetree 6h ago

It will devastate developing economies first, then aging populations in countries without replacement numbers.

All the issues happening in the US are contrived. Trump is purposely messing contracts up with allies and trade partners while opening up businesses to dictatorships.

Donald Trump is a criminal, he is making it easier for criminals he doesn’t agree with to rob their respective country’s economy.

1

u/AshundertheOlivetree 6h ago

Just to add one thing. Contracts can be amended and changed if both parties agree to it.
Donald Trump is highlighting MAGA supply lines and businesses. The minute Trump loses power it will be a bloodbath in MAGA finances not seen since Germany 1914.

There is nothing to make sense of, look at American voters. "Muh high gas prices", that is the extent of their insight, they don't care about anything besides themselves, as long as their F150 is cheap to run, nothing matters. Trump is trying, in a real stupid way, to lower gas prices before midterms so that he doesn't need to invoke marshall law because he is losing. If GOP wins midterms, he will forget everything and just continue the usual, get hinself and his friends rich. That's it, there is nothing else besides that, stop thinking there is a grand plan, the US is being controlled by a selfish pedo.

So, Iran gives Russia weapons to fight Ukrainians, and Russia gives Iran weapons to fight Americans. Meanwhile, the Americans are making deals with the Russians while fighting Iran who fight Americans. And now, Starlink is being messed with, potentially cutting off Ukrainians from the internet while they're fighting Russia, which is working with Iran who attack Americans.

This is parody

Welcome to Trumps world. Incompetence beyond measure paired with infinite stupidity.

I dont think any western leader has ever been such a dangerous idiotic cluster fuck.

u/exxcathedra 2h ago

He's 80. He doesn't care. He has just a couple of years of functional brain activity left and is just enjoying the last bit of the ride. It must be fun for him to watch the world burn and get constant attention and strong reactions.

People that have 40, 50, 60 years ahead of them will have to figure out how to clean up the mess.

It would be funny if people weren't dying because of it. Trump/Musk have the blood of every Ukrainian who dies because of the messed up Starlink on their hands.

And US is alienating themselves from their longest time allies, some of whom have always been under attack by Iran

Russia won the cold war and it's not even close

u/CaptainMagnets 5h ago

Honestly. This is probably how war has always been, it's just easy for the average person to get the information

u/ElectricSmaug 5h ago

Indeed. Indirectly trading even with someone you're openly at war is not really new. It's just more in the open nowadays.

u/PhilipLePierre 8h ago

In the meantime: Trump is sponsoring Russia. Russia is sponsoring Iran. Iran attacks American forces with American money. Fuel prices go up. Trump blames Zelenskyy. All the meantime a private citizen (and trillionaire) plays political games on who gets internet and who doesn't. Him and other billionaires (who control most of the media) are steering the narrative with AI bot farms to create global division and instability. Meanwhile... people keep voting against their interests and keep supporting the ultra rich.

Propping up Russia, which props up Iran, while our troops are fighting a war of choice in Iran. Absolutely fucking disgusting. A betrayal of our country and our military. Great job, MAGA.

Trump funnelling cash to fund the war on the west and a war directly with the US and Americans will sit and do nothing. Americans dying around Iran purely so simpletons on the internet had “but but Russian ally…” to spout for a few weeks.
