This guy going to start a nuclear war to keep people from talking about Epstein??

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It would be pretty distracting.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days ago

What did you do during Epstein War I, grandpa?

I imagine a future conversation occurring.

Well, a lot of pedophile billionaires WILL die in that one, so I'm willing to be convinced

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And honestly, maybe a global nuclear war is the appropriate action.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Username does NOT check out.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It's been a rough one

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Trumps gonna get some of our ships sunk before we execute him for treason

Only if we let him

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

Dude fuck all of these people.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago

I really should get around to watching Wag The Dog.

Before it's too late.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I can't wait for WWIII to start because of a corrupt pedophile and not the 10 political wars and genocides going on right now.

Trump's Truth is a public archive of Donald Trump's communications on TRUTH Social. We believe this is an essential part of the historical record, and that it must be preserved for its educational, journalistic and research value.

Ha! Totally agree, yet still somehow tongue in cheek.

Im no miltary strategist. But shouldnt submarine operations be.... like secret?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

IMHO what Trump writes about is just business as usual. Standard posturing (both literally and figuratively) that is happening anyhow all the time on all sides. Anyhow, all it says is "appropriate positions", so I counter: shouldn't military submarines always be in "appropriate positions"?

Normally you wouldn't ~~tweet~~ ~~truth~~ lie about something like that at all. My guess is one of his PR people thought a little fearmongering might distract from other issues...

[–] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Do you know where "appropriate regions" are?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Considering this, I would normally treat anything said about secret weapons a bluff. But given who's talking, I've no way to tell if it's stupidity instead

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember back when Trump got caught with all those classified docs there was a story about him showing off some about submarines to a rich Australian dude. There was a comment about how everyone in the navy knows that you do not talk about subs. Everything about them is top secret, and if it were anyone else there would be very severe consequences.

Boomers (ballistic missile subs) whole raison d'etre is to be the most powerful weapon platform of all time, be anywhere, be undetectable. MAD is predicated on not knowing from where the punch might come. Trump just said, "Sup bitch! We put boomers in your back yard and we're not afraid to use them!"

Of all the shit Trump has done, this makes my Gen X gut drop. He's playing with world-ending apocalypse. The height of the Cold War didn't see nation states fuck around like this. Never in my life, or history as I know it, has an American President or Soviet/Russian leader stated anything so provocative.

Hadn't been too worried about Russia's nuclear arsenal, but it exists and Ruskies are paranoid bastards. This isn't brinksmanship, nor Nixon's madman theory, this is a toddler poking a rabid dog with a stick. And that dog is already starving, ravening and scared shitless.

"Yeah, we have subs in the Pacific and Eastern Med. I know it. You know it. But now I'm telling you, telling the world." That's a fucking threat. In diplomatic terms this states, "Blink and I'll fucking end you."

What should be a secret? That nuclear (propulsion or arms?) submarines are in appropriate regions? I should hope that that is always the case.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

I wonder if that means he ordered them to be in the same places they were already planning to be...

Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.

Is he... Is he talking about himself?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He isn't that self aware, so no.

Why on Earth would you broadcast where you're putting your nuclear subs? The entire point is for enemies not to know where they are. I mean I assume he's lying, but fuck.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I see nothing in that post that isn't business as usual - except the fact that Medvedev and Trump, two man babies, apparently got into a fight.

Submarines are always stationed in "appropriate positions". This is just deflecting from other issues, you know...

That said I'm not underestimating the danger the Trump admin poses for the world, generally.

Let's all dance to "The Epstein Dodge"!

[–] jaded_genie@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

How does a submarine release the Epstein files?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Oohh, we're about to start WWIII again? Using Twitter? Just to distract the public from the fact that the US president fucked little children?

Man these are such times to be alive! I'd be laughing hysterically if that wouldn't scare the shit out of everyone around me.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

No, of course not, it's not Twitter, it's Truth /s

This is what's going, they're having a dick fight.

Medvedev:

“Trump’s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10 … He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war,” Medvedev blasted on social media earlier this week. “Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!”

Trump:

“Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” Trump wrote in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Medvedev:

“It’s not for you or Trump to dictate when to ‘get at the peace table’. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!” Medvedev fumed.

etc. Source

I can't believe this idiot was voted to be in charge of ALL the nukes. What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh, lots of things.

We started with a genocide of the native people and then the wealthy land owners revolted against paying taxes.
