'This Depraved Idiot Is Out of Control': With Middle East in Flames, Trump Eyes 'Next Conquest'

[sop]

"US President Donald Trump said late Wednesday that the American military is already looking ahead to its 'next conquest' as the Middle East remains embroiled in a deadly military conflict that Trump and his ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, unleashed six weeks ago."

"In a late-night post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said US forces will remain 'in place” and 'around' Iran until a 'real agreement' is reached to end the war, as the two-week ceasefire the president and Iranian leaders announced late Tuesday hangs by a thread due to Israel’s massive bombardment of Lebanon."

"After threatening a 'bigger, and better, and stronger' assault on Iran if peace talks collapse, Trump said the US military is 'Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest' - even as senior administration officials expressed concerns that the president’s declarations of victory in Iran were premature."

Branislav Slantchev, an international relations expert who teaches political science at the University of California San Diego, wrote in response to Trump’s post that “this depraved idiot is out of control.”

“ 'We cannot live this way,' added journalist Marisa Kabas."

1. Precisely why people should take stories about the military draft seriously.

Widdle donvict has had some fun playing with his toy soldiers, and now wants more...

They are NOT toys, donvict!

2. Wow, just like a predatory rapist -- who'd'a thunk?

8. Or a contractor who tears up your yard and then raises the estimate.

Like the East Wing. He knew it wouldn't get a approved or would take years to get approved, so he summarily tore it down and said "well, it looks like we need money to fix this now..."

That combined with a child who starts a project and abandons in the middle and wants to start a new project because "that room is too messy." How are they supposed to accomplish anything in the middle of that mess?

Lots of predator-types understand it's easier to request forgiveness than permission when you want to do something.

3. Talk

He talks like him and Epstein used to talk about their next prey.

4. Invade Venezuela, and the rest of South America

[Justice matters.]

5. War criminal bone spurs thinks the US military arsenal belongs to him.

After getting radar planes, a F-35 (cheap, hey?) or 2 crashes, more than a dozen service patriots killed and dozens injured for life.

Like it was a "gift" to him. REMOVE!

6. Napoleon complex. It hits small men.

10. The rapist is always on the prowl for his next victim

11. The bigger conern isn't that "senior administration officials expressed concerns that . . . declarations of victory . .

were premature.

It is that he believes that America should be in search of a "next conquest."

12. Cuba is next

he's already announced that.

He'll declare himself president of Iran then try to make himself president of Cuba.
