US has struck 3 Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says, joining Israeli air campaign
US inserts itself into Israel's war with Iran, striking 3 Iranian nuclear sites
...
Much of it is from Iran and destined for China. They won't stop those exports.
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
They're all patting themselves on the back right now claiming Harris would have done the same thing.
That’s literally an upvoted comment here with the person “guaranteeing” it would be exactly the same
Exhibit A.
This lukewarm take in every comment section is so old and boring. Maybe try blaming the fascists for all the, you know, fascism.
It’s fair game to blame citizens of fascist countries for the politics they helped to bring forward. And the "democrats and republicans are the same"-crowd that is very vocal on Lemmy definitely helped to enable this.
Sounds like you don't like me reminding protest-non-voters what they voted for.
Got another 3.5 years of this. Longer if you count the time it takes to fix things.
Nah let's not blame those truly responsible, lets just keep pointing fingers at each other exactly as the rich want it.
we're all suffering because of people who protest nonvoted right now. So fuck them. They're just as much to blame as the maga voters. They fucked everything up. Its fucked. Its all fucked. So yeah, were going to be pissed about it.
I don't know maybe you'll end up with Trump again after this if people don't change the way they vote.
They are
Kamala did warn you Americans.
Given how Germany, France, the UK etc have all lined up behind Israel, towing the line that Israel has a right to defend itself, and even going as far as saying that Israel is doing our dirty work for us, I have very serious doubts that Harris would not have followed Israel down the warpath.
Now, when a terrorist attack occurs, he's fully justified in declaring martial law.
It's as good as over, folks. Checkmate.
he doesn't even need that. he already does whatever he wants legal or not
without congressional approval

Closeted men of war preaching about peace. Closeted gays fighting against gay rights. Judgemental/greedy/racist religious people putting themselves on a pedestal about how you should "take care of thy neighbor".
It's always the ones who preach the most, the same ones doing the exact opposite of what they preach. Always the ones bitching about the bad in the world actively hard at work making the world a shittier place.
Seriously, if Trump says the sky is blue I'll immediately look up just to check if it hasn't turned red/green/pink/whatever.
Be always wary of the ones telling you how to live, and watch out for their actions closely. There's no hate like the 'love' of these hypocrites.
I ain't any of that and I do plenty of bitching about the bad in the world.
Seriously though you're quite right.
I can't even with this shit
You know, the first two were enough for the world.
I guess we've lived long enough to see ourselves become the villain.
Can someone help me out here. How do they know that these sites are being used for nuclear weapons production specifically?
Iran does have a nuclear power plant and they do enrich their own uranium. Not trying to justify these bombings, I'm just curious on how they determined these sites are specifically for weapon manufacturing.
Remember when Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?
Same thing.
So total bullshit with zero evidence, cool. Just felt I was missing something as they kept calling them nuclear sites without specifying what they believed the sites were being used for.
Thanks for confirming
Netanyahu has been insisting that Iran will have a nuclear weapon in months for a while now. Here's a Jon Stewart clip talking about it: https://youtube.com/shorts/jlqXOwYfpdQ
This fucking dickhead drumphkins. Could someone please....
Remove Trump now!
Netanyahu must have some really good kompromat on trump thru Epstein.
WW3 has officially begun.
Officially we'll only be able to call that afterwards, during the cold war ww3 also almost begun. We should still try stop and prevent it, no matter how difficult it to argue it hasn't begun yet.
Not defending any of this but these WW3 comments are so weird. The US has been in so many wars in the Middle East, why would this specific one turn into a world war? Especially since there will not be boots on the ground (you never know with trump but I think that’s genuinely the last thing he wants to do).
Which official said that?
Well at least Genocide Joe didn't become the president.
Well what is genocide Joe saying about the war? What about Harris? Chuck Schumer? Hakeem Jeffries? They're saying exactly nothing because they're inside AIPAC's pockets? Thought so.
Pretty sure Kamala has already said this would happen. Pretty sure Biden is dealing with fucking cancer. Hakeem Jeffries put out a video 2 days ago directly stating that Trump does not have authority to declare war, and a tweet 17 hours ago reaffirming such. Chuck Schumer has called for an immediate vote on the War Powers Act to involve Congress in Trump's war.
What else should they do?
Wow, things just took a wild turn in the board game! Whether you’re on board with it or not, this is a game changer: it’s going to impact everything from oil and alliances to elections and the streets. Just wait and see the ripple effects unfold over the next 48 hours!
Well, I’m mildly surprised.
The suddenness kind of reminds me of when he bombed Assad.
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE," posts the man who just led us into war.
Ikr, it's like puncing someone in the face and then telling that person now is the moment to stop fighting lol
I read a post that said he couldn’t go to war without a vote from congress, was that wrong?
Edit: I’m not a US citizen so I’m not sure
The constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to formally declare war.
That said, Congress hasn't declared war since 1942, yet we've obviously taken part in many wars since then.
Sadly there just hasn't been enough Congressional support to retaliate against a president for jumping to military action without authorization. And it doesn't help that the average American doesn't know that the president is not allowed to just deploy troops at will (in most cases, Iran included).
Legally speaking that's correct. There was nothing legal about this, though.
It's more complicated than it should be, only Congress can declare we are at war, however over the past 200 years they have passed laws allowing the president to do things before that vote out of a sense of being flexible and Congress being slow , and keep allowing more and more things, I think currently the president can do almost anything with the military so long as Congress leaders are told and they then can vote to stop it, instead of voting to approve it.
I guess many will disagree but what’s wrong about bombing nuclear sites in countries trying to develop nukes?
The intelligence agencies contradicted that narrative. The administration hasn't made a case that it is actually happening, but have just declared it so.
Very much rhymes with declaration that Iraq had WMDs.
As far as evidence goes, it looks like Trump has dragged us into another conflict that we really shouldn't be in. Which is dissapointing as if there was one small silver lining about Trump was that his rhetoric used to be that we shouldn't be wasting military resources in middle east conflicts so much.
Because the countries bombing them already have nukes. That is peak hypocrisy.
