cpep@micahflee seeing some rumblings that Fordow may not have been damaged.
@cpep @micahflee iran says the equipment was moved; trump says it was destroyed. both party's statements should be viewed with extreme scepticism, though if fissile material escaped it will be picked up in a day or two as it blows to the border.
Klaus Frank@micahflee To be fair this time he didn't literally say war is peace. He appears to just be very dumb (or play very dumb) and expect there to not be any reaction by the other side.
I really think he is that dumb to think that now that he bombed them the war is over...

Aaron@agowa338 @micahflee I think he is counting on it not being over. Fascism thrives on not only persecution of citizens, but foreign wars.
Tbh, I think he is dumb enough to not think at all. If you'd have said his "sponsors" then yes. They're probably counting on exactly that.
For example Russia and Iran apparently signed a mutual defense contract earlier this year.
Or that Russia could now use this very same argument when targeting Ukraines atomic infrastructure.
So a lot of shitty options going forward because of this. But Trump himself probably does neither care nor even see these things on the horizon...
@agowa338 @micahflee The guy idolizes Hitler and took the time to read Mein Kampf. That puts him firmly in the "dangerous fool" category, IMO.
@hosford42 @micahflee
Well, I don't think he actually read that either. Maybe listened to someone else reading it to him or some quick summary.
Besides the issue is read that book, but supporting that ideology. I'd even say it should be one of the books everyone should have read. It really helps in understanding how anti-social and orchestrated things were.
@agowa338 @micahflee He is clearly following the playbook. There are too many coincidences otherwise. Take a look at some side by side comparisons of things he's said to things Hitler has said. It's clearly intentional.
I think you missed my point. All I'm saying is that he's the puppet and the people orchestrating it are the puppet masters. I honestly think he is way too dumb for all of this and only in for the fame and attention...
@agowa338 @micahflee He surrounded himself with other nefarious people who would cause maximum damage, and that happens to be the kinds of people who will send troops in to quell riots, send autistic people to labor camps, suspend habeas corpus, march to the orders of Putin, etc.
You really think he was seeking out all of these people? You read project2025, right? They found him. He's just the idiot that was not just willing to but probably even begging for being on the front line and in the center of everyone's attention...
@agowa338 @micahflee I think it was mutual.
Don't get me wrong, he clearly has the same mindset and fits in quite well with these people. But he still would have been too dumb for orchestrating all of this. He's their mascot and he was chosen because he shares their values.
@agowa338 @micahflee Oh, I don't think he orchestrated anything. Just think he's more intentionally evil than people give him credit for. Being Word Salad Man ends up an excuse and a deflection, cover for him to be even more heinous and people just think it's accidental. Your last sentence is dead on, though.
Have you looked at his vita? He managed to loose money with a casino. That alone says already how incompetent he is...
Edit: At best he has intelligence in the sense of knowing which knee he has to hump...
@agowa338 @micahflee Yeah, but that hasn't stopped him, has it? Because he's being clever in a different way. Pushing people's buttons, manipulating how they see him. He doesn't have to be good at math or business or anything else, if he's good at manipulating people into giving him what he wants. I laughed when he ran for president, but here he is *again*, destroying my country. You don't get to that level of power without having some sort of skill, even if it's a shitty one like motivating horrible people to be even more horrible and make you their mascot. The guy is dangerous.
Aaron (@hosford42@techhub.social)
This whole narrative that Trump is a foolish clown undersells just how dangerous he is. No matter how much of a buffoon the guy is, he is in the position of maximum power, he has fascist intent, and he has surrounded himself with fascist goons. Even a word salad-spewing dipshit is dangerous in that context. #fascism #uspol
Well it hasn't stopped him because everyone is trying to stop him instead of the puppet master team that is holding him up. They also put additional puppets into high enough positions to basically take over the entire system and prevent such take downs.
The only thing that could cause this system to crumble is him actually dying and his supporters rejecting whomever the puppet musters try to introduce as his replacement.
@agowa338 @micahflee Who would you point to as the puppet masters? The billionaires/oligarchy?
Read the "authors" section of project 2025 and as central actor I'd point towards the heritage foundation...
Also don't forget that one of the puppet masters are owners of very big news agencies, online platforms, and especially of social media platforms.
Thereby they basically have full control over the flow of information to a very large chunk of the population. Be it by downplaying and suppressing the opposition or by amplifying the rage and hate towards their supporters. In order to screw public perception.
Paul Sutton@agowa338 @hosford42 @micahflee
Esp as Americans get most of their news from social media, bbc news today is end to end coverage of Bombing of Iran, it is almost like nothing else is going on.
Even the BBC is biased.
