Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Congress needs to fucking step up here
Cuck Schumer has entered the chat: "Let's go!!!"
The one where over half the members get hard or excited at the thought of attacking Iran?
Oh, bless your heart. You think Congress is going to do anything?
Of course his administration was heavily involved. Pentagon pizza orders skyrocketed right before the attack. Takeout food orders skyrocket anytime the pentagon staff has spend late nights dealing with some urgent military action.
There was also the 20k missiles that were supposed to be sent to Ukraine that got diverted to the middle east. They not only knew it was going to happen but stepped up on weaponry.
I'm not saying you're wrong but you can agree that there's a few other likely explanations too, right?
I'm also curious to know what other correlations we confuse with causation regarding geo-politics if anyone knows others like this
It's a historically observed effect, correlated to actual military action. Could you provide a couple of those other likely explanations?
Navy Kevin had a birthday and everyone at the Pentagon had a sleepover and ordered hundreds of pizzas. Bibi wasn’t invited, so he got mad and started a second war.
Idk this is plausible too
The pentagon knew Israel was about to attack, they said so themselves, but denied any support or involvement. This seems to a valid reason for the pizza party, just to track, observe and be ready for any unexpected counter response.
I am in the camp where I believe the USA hasn't actively been involved yet but fully intend to be in the coming days. We have a seen Israel do anything they weren't already capable of, and the massive shift of US jets, missiles and an aircraft carrier to the middle east has largely happened after the initial attack.
I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out
That's... that's not why anyone tries to save human lives, Donald.
Edit: this was meant to be a reply to simplejack
Said the same guy who tore up the last deal we had with them.
Like, U.S. attack plans? American people here: we would like to not go to war. Thanks.
✌️
Well y’all better start revolting then.
We're already quite revolting
Well. I'm with you, but it's tricky. I actually still have something to lose. Unlike many of my fellow countrypersons. And the things I have to lose are still currently allowing me to fund my apocalypse farm.
You don't really think it's that easy, do you? In 2025 nonetheless
It would have been a lot easier a lot longer ago but y’all didn’t listen to me then. It’s gonna be a lot harder in the future if you wait now too.
America, why did you not listen to Cruxifux?
NOBODY CARES ABOUT OL’ CRUXIFUX :(
So you DO think it's that easy? You really think we're all waiting to do it too? Color me fascinated
There are entire books dedicated to successful revolution. I’m so sick of having this argument with Americans that would rather just do absolutely nothing. The world is going to literally blow up and you guys are still saying change is too hard.
Let's wait until it's easy.
Exactly, with some problems, ya gotta let em come to you And when it does, you will know what to do
President no new wars is at it again, this time with a new war???
But comrade, is not war, you see? Is Special Military Operation! You must understand this!
How long will his MAGA foamers worship him when the draft starts up?
I suspect many of them will be willing to die for Trump. Their love for that man makes no sense.
He's gonna get a lot of America hic killed. -pete hegseth.
That's why I picked you. That was always the plan. - Donald dick
Picture the scene.
Two aides bursts in to the oval office to find the orange buffoon eating crayons. The smell of McDonald's follows the aides in to the room and wafts towards the most stupid 'president' ever...
{P01135809 eyes widen as he sniffs the air}
"Sir..." eye rolls the first aide "can we attac..."
Chunky boy spits out the crayons and blurts, "Big Mac? It's...is it Big Mac time?
"Soon, 'sir'," retorts the aide with another eye roll, "but first we need to..."
{P01135809 sniffs the air again}. "It's Big Mac time. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac. Big Mac time!" He sings while doing a pointy finger dance.
"Yes, soon...'Sir', Iran is looking quite brown, sign this so can we attack Iran with..."
{P01135809 sniffs the air again. Drool is now dripping from his puckered bottom lip}
"Yes, YES. whatever, do it, do anything, just get me my big macs, FFS!!"
"If to say so. Sign here now and you'll also get an apple pie."
{P01135809 scribbles on to a piece of paper}
"BRING IN THE BIG MACS!"
Both aides leave the room.
"Did he. Did he just agree to a war for a..."
"I always ask him these type of questions when the Macdonald's arrives! He'll agree to anything when he's hangry."
