Donald Trump Stuns With 'Maybe We Shouldn't Even Be There' Admission About Iran War - Lemmy.World

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.

Man I am so fucking ready for the Nationalist Christians to become huge fucking pariahs as a direct result of all of the idiocy that they’ve been pushing
~~ Nationalist Christians~~ americans

Christian Nationalism (fascism) is on the rise globally.

Because less than a dozen humans with more money than god control the global media.

I know americans aren’t great at understanding the basics of the global political field but calling Christian Nationalism fascism is extra ridiculous

Alright High and Mighty my point with putting fascism in quotes was mostly to say that what we are dealing with globally is Fascism. Just that where I am it has presented itsself as Christian Nationalism.

Wrapped in the flag carrying a bible and all that.

High and Mighty thanks you for providing an explanation, which was definitely needed here.
And fascists have a well established pattern of disguising their ideology as something else.
the OG’s have somewhat given that name a bad reputation.
If they would call it the fascist Party not event he bulk of the awful people who have the same awful views would vote for them.
Not many would say of themselves they are fascists, like assholes won’t say they’re assholes.
That would be too confronting since they know it’s wrong. They choose to delude themselves.
