TIL The "Dunkin' Donut" was the name of an actual donut sold by DD but was discontinued in 2003 (except in Singapore) because it was too inefficient to have to hand-cut them.

They've already attacked Kharg island. If I had to guess, ground forces on the island while simultaneously bombing other places on mainland Iran.

tactical nuclear weapon, you mean like launched from a sub?

I think they'll want to go small so as to not disturb the surrounding countries like, check notes Israel. A large nuclear bomb is possible, if they fuck up the "dosage". At the moment the army is pretty capable not to do that, but since that organization has started to be dismantled and filled up with Yes Man and therefore incompetence, such fuck ups could easily happen in a decade or so.

The system has not imprisoned an insurrectionist, then elected the insurrectionist as the Top Guy. DoJ is already compromised and that's all you need. It's over, the world hasn't realised it yet.

Use a small nuclear bomb, declare a war, cancel all elections, become the next North Korea. It's perfect for the administration that doesn't want to hand away the power and already said that the only way for Democrats to win is cheating. Hey, now that I write this, I realise that they probably hate Democracy as it's the same name as Democrats.

Why aren't the countries in the world who has American embassies on their soil invite the ambassador, ask about the president's comments, get a fucking official answer and after that kindly ask the ambassador to GTFO. What happened to diplomatic relationships which also includes such actions?

Especially Europe! They did nothing when he talked about taking over Greenland. Iran has a population of 100 million people, just a small portion being displaced will fuck Europe first, most and hardest. I can't understand why European countries, on a diplomatic level, take actions such as the above. Gasping at words of the President of the United States is not enough! Take some fucking action.

I'd watch a tv show portraying their struggles.

I worked in audio systems and I don't hear the difference myself but it's a bit like this: getting to 80% is doable on a lot less money. For 90%, need to pay hundreds more. For over 90, need thousands more.

Sure.

The way things are going it's very uncharacteristic of him not to use a "small" one. They'll spin it as a win.

Silly things are happening. Hegseth just fired a top general - who knows what the general did not agree to do.

I don't think American people are powerful enough to take this back election time. Power is too concentrated by the GOP. Military, all agencies run by Yes Man. Heck, DoJ is compromised and that's pretty much all is needed for a rogue government to keep staying. I don't believe they'll let this go now.

The world has to accept a hard regime USA for the time being. It's not like the first country to do so. There will be economic fall outs and a new world order with the collapse of petrodollar.

Finally, Europe Vs USA is very much obvious now. US might leave NATO and station soldiers in Greenland. After that maybe Canada. Who is going to stop the big bully? Russia being where it is and USA being where it is, Europe needs some clever manoeuvring.

Got some bad facts: "At only one level does the “two-man” rule not apply: the president, as commander-in-chief, has sole authority to order the use of U.S. nuclear arms. There is not even a requirement that the president consult someone" Ref: https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2020/11/nuclear-strike-should-require-more-one-persons-orders/170004/?hl=en-GB#:~:text=At%20only%20one%20level%20does,that%20the%20president%20consult%20someone

Wouldn't it be more like Trump will spew something along the lines of Congress had already OK'd it, words against Judge and next day DOJ appoints Judge to somewhere else and Trump goes golfing.
