The Donald Trump thread

[silvertop]

Let's hope Kamala Harris and tampon tim take the results as a sign to run again 😎

And there is the rub.

If the Democrats pick a sensible, centrist candidate who is pale, male and charismatic, the Republicans might as well not turn up.

If they select DEI progressive, the battle will be much closer.

It is in their hands.

Think you may be right, but will we ever know?

Highly unlikely, there are only two events that would cause the US to invade Iran, Iran invades Turkey or Iran builds a man portable nuclear weapon (basically and Iranian version of the US SADM) that they employ in the United States.

Neither of which are probably going to happen as while the Iranians can be dumb, they are not completely stupid.

Most likely is that the Iranian regime survives, it is announced that Mojtaba Khamenei has "died of complications" and the announcing of the new Supreme Leader. The IRGC stays in actual control. The Iranian economy stays stuck as they have limited engagement with their neighbors. Iran won't have the money for a nuclear program but it will be discussed that they "could" have a nuclear weapon quickly if they chose to.

the Eagle mentioned a 'death cult'.....i merely corrected him. Grooming Gangs didnt just appear in a puff of smoke.

II think death cult is accurate. To ascend to paradise there are 7 stages, but you bypass all of them and are straight in if you die in Jihad, and so does your immediate family. It's why mothers are so willing to have 1 son as a suicide bomber

Who would have thought that the islamic regime of Iran could make regime change in the United States?

I'm curious how you would have de-escalated WW2. I've spent a fair amount of time brain storming this with academics and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it.

You join Hitler's side in 1939, that might've shortened it all, until he wants your Jewish citizens.

If the US joints Hitler's side, it would be similar to his Japanese partnership, a temporary alliance before he can fight against them as well. One someone views themselves as being better simply because of the color of their skin then it limits their options for who can join their team and who they can play well with over the long haul.

The US wasn't really ready for war until 1942, still too much build up going on despite the massive growth in the Army and Navy. It's large, but it doesn't really have the expeditionary capability that it needed until the Navy builds they started in 1939 started coming out of the shipyards in 42.

Correct, wasn't geared for war at all. Roosevelt knew he'd end up in it though.
