What an absolute joke.

I can just imagine him writing it, hunched over, peck-hunting for the keys. He starts typing bombs. No, he thinks. Slowly backspaces. Starts giggling to himself as he presses the caps lock key. "This will show them how serious I am about my bombs!"

peck peck peck "B-O-M-B-S"

Probably sits back in his chair admiring it for a moment. "Perfect. Very strong. Very powerful bombs."

Then immediately starts typing about peace in the same shouty caps because why not? Everything deserves caps lock! BOMBS! PEACE! WHATEVER!

Then ends it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" like he just sent out a memo about updating the office dress code instead of announcing he bombed another country.

It's such a weirdly formal, corporate sign-off after the most unhinged announcement possible. As if bombing other countries is just another agenda item he's keeping us informed about. Very considerate of him to loop us in on World War III via Twitter memo.

Absolutely deranged.

How many bombs did he drop on Russia? Because he said he would end the war against Ukraine.

I like how he ends his e-mail, treating the public populous as a corporate employee.

A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site...NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

How the F*** can anyone use these two lines in a single paragraph. Absurdity here is comical

War is Peace. Freedom is slavery.
And now for your Five Minute Hate.

That line sounds like it was written directly by Netanyahu himself.

This feels a lot like start of a WW3 for the third time in past few years.

First it was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel Hamas conflict, now its this.

WW2 didn't start overnight. There was a series of military actions that went unchallenged. That only made the belligerents bolder.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Indeed. WW2 was a massive slow-walk into the full war. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away and nobody did anything to stop it. Similar to now where everyone can see that this is going to open more fronts.

At one point all the fronts might band together with more and more suddenly joining each side, and boom you have WW3.

Didnt he promise not to start a war?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And he didn't, he's starting peace like it says in the tweet

He promised a lot of things. His promises are useless

He made a typo. It should read "there is not another military in the world that would have done this"

Religion isn't the cause, the mode of production is. Economic factors are far more important when it comes to war, including this one.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If there is no religion people will find something else to fight over.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe, but religion had caused infinite more wars than all other reasons together in the whole history.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

No, economic factors matter far more. Religion is often used as an excuse, or plays some role, but the real drive is access to trade or resources or labor in the vast majority of cases.

Yeah Donald Trump is a devout Christian that must be the problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you know any social advanced, free and human rights respecting Theocracy? The problem with Trump is, apart of the religion, that he is an ignorant and stupid nazi asshole.
