Trump Campaign Promise: “Never start a new war”
Trump first year: Steals a Venezuelan oil tanker, blows up surrendering cillians, bombs a city, and kidnaps their dictator.
Second year: Iran.
I wonder what war he will start in year 3? He’s still threatening to annex Greenland and I know we have been preparing for attacks and are still ready to fight for Greenland, but we will see.
Don’t forget about Cuba, my money’s on an invasion of Cuba next year.
Probably more likely than Greenland tbh. We can only hope he’s become too demented to even remember that Cuba exist by 2027.
IRAN WAR more like IRAN HOME 🤣🤣
THE STRUGGLE ISRAEL. 😂😂🤣
no, but seriously, release the Epstein files.
Department of Defeat
Can we get a list or wars US has lost?
They’ve basically lost every single one since WWII, but I don’t think it has ever been as apparent and comprehensive as this one. This one was just a very very embarrassing affair for the world’s biggest superpower. Spectacularly so I’d say.
With the notable exception of the 90s gulf war. I suspect (with no real evidence or support), that the gulf war did a lot to set the stage politically for the US in the Middle East. Before that, the American people mostly remembered Vietnam and the pointless spending and loss of life from that embarrassing defeat. With the gulf war being such a massive win, I bet the American people gained a new view of the US military as invincible and viewed the Middle East as a pushover. 10 years later, we’re in 2 forever wars.
I think you could make an argument we “lost” in Iraq, and certainly Afghanistan.
I guess they won in Grenada and maybe with Noriega
As non American: what was the name before?
Department of War until 1947, then Department of Defense until recently made Department of War again
I would bet money that the next non-progressive Democrat will rename it back to the Department of Defense so they could make a big show about how they’re supporting Israel’s “defense”.
If the name flips another time it might become a tradition.
Modeling themselves after the Italian fascists.
The original ones led by Mussolini, or the current ones led by Mussolini fangirl Meloni?
Both?
Oh the originals, and I hope they come to the same conclusion.
Gonna need to reinforce that gas station roof first, though 🤔
Tell me again about how the Americans have the greatest military in the world…
So like every fascist ever?
