Situation's not really resolved, it's really late, and he has Fox News to watch (and find out what they're saying about the attack and what they think he should do).

Sure makes sense to me.

This kind of makes sense too:

Is it bad that I have more respect for the Iranian leader who came out and said "Look, don't gently caress with American civilians, seriously" than I do :trump:?

I mean, that's not saying much and gently caress him if anybody who's in gets hurt, but I mean he's...at least somehow reasonable in some minute way?

e- I guess what I'm saying is gently caress Trump.

It's not so much being reasonable as having enough brain cells to know that directly killing American civilians right now would be absolutely a suicidal course of action for Iran.

In Mypos, only the strong survive.

I think this was Iran’s effort to retaliate but leave us an out. The fact that we apparently saw them setting the missiles up and let them launch gives me hope that this was kind of allowed to give both sides a chance to save face.

Either that or we wanted an excuse to go ham on them. Trumps silence tonight suggests either scenario could be true.

Yeah, it's this. It's hilarious and extremely depressing that Iran is:

1. Playing Trump like a fiddle
2. Making him look weak and ineffective
3. Winning the PR game / looking reasonable compared to that loving idiot.

We (I was in grade school in the 70s) simply never had a moment where it looked like USA and USSR nuke launches were imminent. And the truly dangerous moments that there were, like the Soviet false alarm that we had launched on them in ‘83, and later that year the Soviets thinking our Able Archer exercise was a real prelude to a first strike, we were simply blissfully unaware of.

So you just sort of went through life knowing that it was a possibility, but it wasn’t something you sat around and thought about all the time, if that makes sense.

Donald Trump has severe emotional issues, a cerebrum made of cheddar cheese, and a worldview stuck in the 1980s. He says a lot of loving bullshit and changes his mind constantly because his cerebellum is provolone-based. His brainstem is the only thing that's intact anymore and that has a light dusting of parmesan.
