This woman made me slightly less depressed in a thread about the middle east, yes. :unsmith:

And it's after Khashoggi's murder so that's quite impressive.

Also that rear end in a top hat's poo poo eating smile while they drag her outside.

why do they make bespoke jpegs for every tantrum
Because they are rich stupid dudes with a massive inferiority complex and they need something to be able to get it up again after the public humiliations? The jpegs aren't about convincing other people.

Only Trump could have such a pure reactionary Id that he does what our allies want in the only way it could gently caress them over.
He is only using his presidential influence in foreign affairs because he can't do poo poo about THE WALL the steel slats being blocked and his tv friend on FOX are calling him impotent
e: also he may be scared of the images of the military not getting paid while stuck in a warzone during a shutdown? How does it work?

is the pentagon really such a kleptocracy now that they don't even do the most basic testing of these weapons platforms with battlefield simulations any dumbass in the military could come up with?
Why would they if the battlefield simulations fail, they would have to spend even more effort hiding it. It's better to test nothing until it's deployed on the field than to have to justify knowingly sending troop to their death with known faulty material.

:eng101: It's Bābord (left) and Tribord (right) in french.

Also all those starship trooper memes are great. Someone should just convert US anti-iran tv propaganda into the "would you like to know more" format.

Yes, they sure are trying. But the same media called him stupid since before his election, so i suspect it's just them trying to make Trump angry.

todays farsi lesson: im guessing he probably used the term "aghab oftadeh" which literally translates to "fallen behind" and is pejorative. colloquially, it can mean mental retardation but also represents individuals/peoples who can't keep up with the times.

e: or i guess he didn't say it at all and western media are just riling trump?

https://twitter.com/SinaToossi/status/1143516480430071811
Retard is originally just a french word (with a silent d, so "retar") for lateness, referring (i would guess) in context to "late mental development" and turned into an insult because it's a foreign word that sounds funny. Still it's a particular word to select for a translation of "fallen behind".
