      I really think that’s just all it is. Trump just loves the idea of Kings and dictators. He doesn’t like the idea of them dying cuz well they’re what he aspires to be.

    I interpret this as a way for Trump to position himself as the “good cop” rather than as a factual description of something that actually happened, or else I would be concerned about how such sensitive secret information is apparently being casually given away to news agencies.

    I have a hard time believing they didn’t know of and weren’t complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to Israel that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones

    Holy crap, the amount of delusion in these threads is appalling.
