Or malfunctions. Like Holy Ukraine accidentally bombing this or that.

I remember when people would complain about Bush flip flopping... now in less than two weeks we've got Trump going on about gas being low in price -- based on freakin' Iowa of all places, a price that isn't anywhere near reality for most -- and now he has shrugged at prices that have quickly jumped after attacking Iran?

TACO. Soon.

Not while Bibi is blackmailing the shots.

*ToTheNines* · 03-12-2026, 05:39 AM

And if the photos are to be believed, also harbouring Epstein and Ghislain...

The Lockheed Martin Twitter account admitting the strike on Iran was planned months and months ago?

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 03-14-2026, 03:06 AM

Why hasn't the Iranian regime been overthrown yet?

I was told by Facebook Boomers that EVERYONE in Iran hates the regime and that the regime was TOAST.

Every passing day the Iranian girls can't wear bikinis in public and run an OnlyFans makes me sadder and sadder.

Oh well, any day now.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-14-2026, 04:11 AM

You guys win. Who I am to argue with such facts?

I get the impression many are/were expecting the US to do that…

I don't agree with the technicalities of this war but the Iranian regime is a bunch of murderers. Do not trivialise their atrocities.

How about Iran just hanging that wrestler in the public square? That was a hoot. Or maybe Israel™ cooked that up somehow, nefariously.

I thought you had given up as per your earlier post. Well, that was probably sarcastic on your part, but I was hoping it wasn't. So what's the argument here? Iran hung a wrestler, therefore America's invasion is more justified?

Iran does things I may not like. Russia does things I may not like. North Korea does things I may not like.The part where you lose me is trying to translate these internal affairs of a regime into justification for the war you support.

How's that 4-day war going for you by the way? Enjoying the gas prices going up? Happy that the Pentagon has requested $200 Billion for the war? Sleeping tight knowing that Iran is no longer 2 minutes away from nukes they were totally going to use to blow up all of the West?

I'm fine, thanks. But wasn't it you who were saying your whole way of life has been uprooted and you were basically being miserable in your country as a result, somehow?

**Barkworm** · 03-21-2026, 03:33 AM

I'm miserable paying insane amounts of money for Diesel because of this war.

'Miserable' is bit of a stretch. As long as I have my faith in God, I'm not miserable regardless of where I live.

But as far as the state of the nation goes, not ideal. Everything (especially gas) is getting far more expensive as a direct result of the war and our government is strongly weighing putting in covid-style fuel restrictions.

Additionally, our US-puppet government is considering sending the New Zealand Navy to help America force open the Strait of Hormuz which is a terrible idea because its gonna cost us a ton of money and its gonna get our troops killed.

Look, once this disastrous war is over and everyone will call it a huge mistake in hindsight, you can pretend to have always opposed the war and I won't hold it against you. Deal?

Look, I don't want to be adversarial to you. You live in a completely different country than me in a different walk of life.

But if you want to place bets... let's revisit the cost of gas in... 3 months? And then let's see. Feel free to quote this post and put egg in my face. I could be wrong.

Whatever happened to this guy?
