Trump ran an entire campagin on “No more stupid wars”, and “America First”, only to rename The Department of Defence to The Department of War, and proceed to attack both Venezuela and Iran, while constantly being offended that he is not offered The Nobel Peace Prize.

The US is led by the insane.

@randahl 'America first' has meant 'Trump first' all along though, right?

@randahl no. This is calculated, meticulously planned by an economical elite, even if ineptly executed by boufons. Calling them insane is attributing to incompetence what it is fascist malice, in spite of its base being primarily and deliberately insane. The U.S. is on its tracks to become a model of what Deutschland once tried and failed to become, with parallelisms and differences alike, but a constant leitmotif. Call it for what it is; it's not insanity. Do not let idiocracy be a façade.
@Alonely0 @randahl Disagree. The insane can be calculating, grandiose and violent. Their entitlement, lack of remorse and ambition tell them they can have anything they want, and that the world owes it to them. Calling them insane isn't the same as calling them stupid. They are absolutely insane.
@Alonely0 @randahl
Inverted #HanlonsRazor: Never attribute to incompetence what could also be explained by fascist malice.
@musevg @Alonely0 @randahl In this administration, the fascist cruelty and the incompetent buffoonery are inseperable, which is why we have the worst kind of chaos.
@musevg @Alonely0 @randahl Yes. Also, that Venezuelan oil just became much more valuable and ‘strategic’…
@randahl
"Insane" is an insult to people with mental health issues.
Trump is evil in a word.
@bmk @randahl A person can be criminally insane. Psycopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism, the Dark Triad, is where you'll find a lot of it. It's much worse than garden variety mental illness when a person shows strong tendencies in all three.
@eighthourlunch
Sure.
None of these people should lead a country.
But Trump is wittingly pernicious. To call him insane might imply that he can't help it.
@randahl
@bmk @randahl He probably can't help it. That is his pathology. It absolves him of nothing. You don't leave a dangerous person out on the street where they're threatening harm to other people. It doesn't matter whether or not they can help it.

@bmk @eighthourlunch @randahl

Of course, 🔸BIDEN should be proudly represented on this image, but I am sure you corrected by yourself already.

100% agree

@randahl Adolf Hitler started wars at many frontiers at the same time. And then he lured the world’s biggest war into his own country and lost epically.

What do we learn from this?

@randahl

Totally an argument against nuclear weapons when two nuclear armed countries attack another country trying to "join the club".

@CTHW @randahl
Fun fact: None of the three will use nuclear weapons.

@musevg @randahl

Of course not.
It's not like any of the three have used them before …

@CTHW @randahl it is not even true that Iran is trying to join

@hiphopheaven @randahl

Perhaps
I sure don't know.
But, with Israel, an avowed enemy sitting so close with Nuclear weapons, how could they not?

@randahl “led” is doing a lot of work here ;)

@randahl Thats’s conservatism for you.

They meant: ”No more stupid wars that benefit THEM”, ”MY America First”..

@randahl

Highly worrying…

@randahl See the first 30s of this video where Trump explains why Biden will attack Iran: https://youtu.be/MZ5RyRGPaBA

@randahl @gedeonm Correct and well said. Except the insane part. He’s doing his masters’ bidding: Israel & The Committee of 300.

They give the orders and he obeys.

He certainly managed to deceive a lot of people though. People who wanted peace in the world, wanted their economy to improve so people could afford to provide for their families, wanted their children to have a future, wanted homelessness to end and so on.

That’s what they voted for. But what they got was the opposite.

@dfgomes @randahl @gedeonm I don't mean to offend but if anyone voted for Trump the second time wanting peace and prosperity, they did not listen to him or his campaign.

We can only hope many will see past his manipulation. The methods and tools Trump's admin and allies are using to distract and deceive are strong. The world has fallen victim to them before.

@monaroberts @randahl @gedeonm I agree. I’m not American, I’m European, but from what I’ve observed on social media and the news etc it seems to me that many Americans believed him and are now extremely disappointed. They realise he lied to them and has not improved the quality of life in the US at all.

If anything things might be worse.

I really despise lying politicians.

The average human wants to live in peace, have a good income and raise a family, and have a future.

@monaroberts @dfgomes @randahl @gedeonm ton of democrats support the war and many support it but are mad that they didn't vote for the war in congress
@randahl all I can see is a war between three religious dictatorships.
@FrancoisPrague @randahl iranians kids are getting murdered by the usa and israel right now. They bombed a girls schools and a gym where kids was playing. You should certainly condemn the iranian regime for opressions but putting the 3 ewually in this circonstances only help the war of agression
@randahl and starving Cuba
@randahl Anyone who believed any of his promises was lying to themselves. I mean, aside from the ones about screwing people who weren't white or straight...
@randahl The 3rd month is named March (ment Mars)
@randahl And not forged, that Trump is prolonging war in Ukraine, by cutting oft support to Ukraine and taking of pressure from Putin.
@feyter @randahl israel is a good friend of Putin. Protecting the terrorist state of israel was always more important for the american empire then Ukraine

@hiphopheaven @randahl sorry, no that's BS.

Ukraine and Israel could almost considered allies and definitely helped each other in recent military events.

But the fact that you are saying such things mean you either not want to see the nuances here or you're want to spread misinformation.

@randahl The US gouvernment are people who are constantly cosplaying something and are more concerned about looks and ratings and playing hardball. The US is led by people behind the gouvernment who follow their own agenda and don't care about anything but their own advantage. The president is led by those people, by his vanity and by Putin. All of them are motivated by money.
And all of this results in a scary concoction of stupid and frightening, crazy and insane. From the outside.

@randahl I am wondering, if historians, in some time from now, will refer to the military campaigns during the second Trump presidential term in the US as "The Epstein Files Wars".

Honestly, you can't have a horror clown like Agent Orange as CIC, at the controls of one of the world's strongest military forces, added fun even with access to the proverbial "red button" of a nuclear weapons inventory.

That's what I call 'insane'. But that's just me. a small mind on the Northern hemisphere.

@dazzr @randahl If someone doesn't know he was Epstein's buddy by now they will never know. The idea that this is some sort of distraction rather than the actions of a madman is absurd.

@randahl

Cuba is next.

Who is paying for all these wars?

@randahl

I guess Trump's concept of peace is the peace of the graveyards.

@randahl

You can't distract from being a child rapist without starting wars... #trump knows that

@kbsez @randahl the usa did rape people in wars so basically they are deflecting the attrocities in epstein files with more attrocities. Such a stupid strategy
@randahl 🎯💯🎯💯🎯

@randahl

As a person with mental health issues, I remind myself & us all that Insane people can be evil just like anyone else

@randahl … and invade US cities killing US citizens.
@randahl Ah, but he'll obviously claim this isn't a "stupid" war; this a "tremendous bigly war, the likes of which no one has ever seen before". He knows more about war than any other human being. Are you still talking about... war?

@randahl

If the world didn’t understand class warfare.. America never really has since the 1930s, we seem to be aware of it now.

The epstein society, the epstein class oh so very much collaborates to engage in class warfare.

The crazy thing about it is well off suburban moms now get it.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @randahl Not sure what Trump has to do with class wars, 77 million Americans voted for this clown and the vast majority of them were racists, not rich.

@HakeemG @randahl

The super rich can only gain the upper hand when they convince enough people to support them.

The basis for support is to create the perception of a class of people that must be subjugated or should be subjugated.

The epstein files make it abundantly clear that the super rich collaborated not only in crimes against children, but in seizing the means of government

@randahl I thought I understood how a democratic society worked until now.

@randahl

The astounding part is the number of Americans who still support him, even though he lies with every breath, and the GOP Congress that stays terrified of MAGA and their insane cult leader.

@randahl If it would be insane, there would be therapy. Better call it fascist: that needs resistance, not medicine!
@randahl He was badgering the pope to support his “peace” endeavors, can’t have it both ways.

@randahl

America has taxpayers willing to be fleeced to fund wars that enrich Epstein Class billionaires, both foreign & domestic.

1. Putin's war on Ukraine is enriching Witkoff, Kushner, Blavatnik, Leon Black & Steven Schwarzman

2. Trump's war on Venezuela is enriching John Addison & Qatar

3. Netanyahu's war on Gaza is enriching Kushner, Adelson, and Saudi Arabia.

@Npars01 @randahl
EXACTLY!! We are funding this monstrous murderous lie. They didn't even bother to legitimize a false pretense like the Iraq war.
