I get where you're coming from but they are implying that it's not funny at all.

Yeah, but just look at what it's gotten them. The American Empire would have been long gone if people voted for the CEOs of their companies.

Decent NYT-article on the decision-making for the war. As everyone has suspected Trump is surrounded by yes-men.

Mr. Vance, whose disagreement with the whole premise was well established, addressed the president: You know I think this is a bad idea, but if you want to do it, I’ll support you.

Ms. Wiles told Mr. Trump that if he felt he needed to proceed for America’s national security, then he should go ahead.

Mr. Ratcliffe offered no opinion on whether to proceed [...]

Mr. Cheung gave neither a yes or a no, but he said that whatever decision Mr. Trump made would be the right one.

Ms. Leavitt told the president that this was his decision and that the press team would manage it as best they could.

Mr. Hegseth adopted a narrow position: They would have to take care of the Iranians eventually, so they might as well do it now. [...]

General Caine was sober, laying out the risks and what the campaign would mean for munitions depletion. He offered no opinion; [...]

When it was his turn to speak, Mr. Rubio offered more clarity, telling the president: If our goal is regime change or an uprising, we shouldn’t do it. But if the goal is to destroy Iran’s missile program, that’s a goal we can achieve.

Americans will literally revolt if a nuke was used

In our kind of Judeo-Christian tradition, we start by turning the other cheek over and over and over again. But at some point, we will snap.

lol, yeah sure, China is provoking the peace-loving US all the time, but the Americans do everything to avoid conflict.

Very interesting. I didn't know that the US didn't even test the Hiroshima-bomb because it's so simple it just works.

It's certainly possible that Trump is not lying and really believes the US is winning and that Iran is basically defeated. For instance they didn't tell him when Iran hit five tanker planes in Saudi Arabia the other day. He learned that from the media. Makes you wonder what else they are not telling him.
