Trump is so unhinged that I am now looking at posts from the speaker of the Iranian Parliament and thinking, "He is not wrong".

@randahl here’s the thing that I keep thinking. Our Western (Israeli-propaganda sympathetic) media has continuously demonized Iran leading the West to continue horrific sanctions against the Iranian people. Now, I’m not claiming that Iran are a “good” regime, but are they any worse that say, authoritarian Saudi Arabia, (whose citizens quite literally attacked the US on 9/11), and who for years have imposed much harsher restrictions on women, torture prisoners, etc. etc. ?

Can say that again indeed…

@randahl

Just checked ... Trump is the only person in USA to launch nukes, and no one has the authority to veto it.

This is so messed up!

@randahl is it a good time to remind people that Trump thinks that pilots who gets shot down are loosers? That’s what he said about John McCain

@cwsound @randahl Thanks for the reminder, I almost forgot... He should be confronted with it..

@randahl Right? This whole thing has made me realise how much I value competence and rationality. I'm looking at two violent, evil regimes and about one of them I find myself thinking, "But at least they're logical and use language well," whereas the other, "And on top of all the rest, they're so ignorant and stupid." It is yet another disorienting element in humanity's tightening predicament.

I can't decide whether Trump is a psychopath or suffering from dementia. I fear it's now both.

Remember the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, 1941-1979, the guy who westernized Iran? Yes, the IRGC fully understands the U.S..

@randahl Wer sagt, dass der Pilot nicht absichtlich nicht gefunden werden will?

@randahl this post should be added to textbooks as an example of asymmetrical warfare.
