He later said: “So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory because it is their territory, it’s the place from which they get their energy and they should come and they should help us protect it.”

Then came the line that quickly sparked reaction online:

“You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all because we don’t need it.”

It’s Iran’s terrority, and Iran is defending it after being attacked…

But I really think he’s getting pressure from Christian extremists to abandon Israel. Their endgame was always Israel getting wiped out by its neighbors to start Armageddon and rapture Christians.

If no one joins against Iran, trump will likely try to slink away and Bibi holding the bag.

And he threatened NATO, who by all his accounts “stood back from the front lines” When Article 5 was called during the bullshit second Gulf War. And now he DEMANDS they help. Sure buddy.

I just love the quote:

So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding…

He starts with needing help, starts to say he just really wants it, then pivota to demanding it.

The fact that he went thru those steps shows how much pressure he’s facing.

His two biggest wings of influence has been Israel and American christo-fascists, if they start pulling him in opposite ways, he can’t hold onto both.

He’s fucked, but so are the rest of us by extension. Hopefully just till midterms at least.

you still think voting will get you out of the fascism you invited in?

Invited in? I didn’t invite any of this in. Not by my vote, not by my letters to government officials, and not by my protests.

It’s a generalization… “you” as in “Americans” voted this in TWICE!
