Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Awesome of him to troll Iran calling their retaliation "very weak". What a fucking grade school comment. Just challenging them to do something out of the blue. He clearly wants to nuke someone.

Candidate of peace, my ass.

that "thanks for the warning" not sure if it's sound pedantic, or as in "glad we(you) were civil, we can stop now"

Thus begins the continued quest for the Peace Prize...

"Thanks for the warning Iran though you knew your response would be very weak and ineffective cause I am so mighty as to have ended your nuclear ambitions AND the war between Israel/Iran in one action that was beyond levels never before seen.

Iran came to me with tears in their eyes saying 'Sir, please let us do this one tiny thing in our attempt to save face and we'll let the rest go'.

I let them. And now, since I'm the greatest most powerful Peace Creator and Solver of the Middle East Problem, give me that Peace Prize I so richly deserve"

FFS.

  • President Donald Trump thanked Iran for the early warning, wrote 'no Americans were harmed,' and called the retaliation 'very weak.'

  • Trump expressed hope that this attack ended Iranian retaliation and encouraged Israel and Iran to pursue peace in the region.

What a stupid fuck.
