    He should be pleading. But he is demanding. That’s the weird part. He does not have the cards for demanding.

    You break it, you own it. He attacked, without reason. Hell! According to them its not even a war. Get congress to declare war first, then we talk.

      Surprisingly, Starmer has so far shown signs of having a spine. He must be facing a backbench revolt.

    "I want Greenland! Give me Greenland, or I’ll go to war with Europe! Give me what I want OR ELSE! "

    3 months later:

    “You better help me save face from my virtuosically incompetent war strategy OR ELSE!”

    Sane-washing title

    the US president urged Britain and other nations – including France, China and Japan – to send warships to the area to protect oil tankers from Iranian attacks.

    Not a good sign if we are asking China to change our diaper.

    Just one week ago he “truthed”:

    The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!

    What? Wasn’t already won one week ago, and no help was needed? Now it needs to beg for help?

    “We don’t need your ships”

    24 hours later…

    “Please send your ships”

    “BTW, we already won the war, but please help”

    This is the same country that was seriously planning to invade and annex Greenland just three months ago. They might have postponed their plans in favor of bombing Iran, but Greenland is still on the table.

    So Europe may suffer the economic consequences of this mess, but the White House getting humiliated and the US military getting degraded and bogged down in Iran are both a boon for Europe.

    My only fear that some European leaders (looking at you Starmer) might actually be stupid enough to follow them in this folly out of some misplaced sense of appeasement.

    The infinite might of the United States is unable to hold and defend a 24-mile wide body of water.

    Think about that for a second.

        Instead of renaming French Fries to Freedom Fries, they’ll just ban them, and people who make them in their air fryers at home will be designated terrorists, and be executed.

        As a result, the potato futures will plunge, and the entire potato industry will be destroyed, farms will go out of business, animal feed will be short, leading to meat shortages.

        And the MAGAs will be on TV saying "It was hilarious to see the Libz getting angry because there were no fries at McDonalds, which was our objective.

        "The fact that another major commodity market was destroyed as a direct result couldn’t be predicted, and isn’t our fault, or our problem.

        “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we achieved OUR objective in record time, and this operation was a TOTAL SUCCESS!”
