Though to be fair I love the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” because anyone who accuses someone else of having it reveals themselves to be giant losers.

Reported by Reuters that Israel is running critically low on interceptors.

Trump essentially begging countries to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

The US and Israel lack of planning and awareness of Irans capabilities/strategies is showing high here. And now the rest of the world has to deal with their bull#### effects of a war.

And some people on this website thought this was a good idea?

When a regime slaughters tens of thousands of its own citizens, it's not that hard to see the appeal of someone attacking that regime. The Iranian regime ARE scum, after all.

Its easy to rationalize something when you want it to be a good idea.

All 3 combatants are scum. I think most of the world outside the US, Israel and the Iranian regime would agree.


I'd almost say the US is the worst of the three. The supposed leader of the free world ####ing the rest of the world because the orange dotard and his cronies can't figure out that other people have agency. There's a reason why the US has never really engaged Iran in open combat before now. That reason is that anyone with a shred of intelligence would be able to see that they could shut down the strait. It's even easier now with the advances in drone technology. They just thought they'd kill the leaders and the religious fanatics in the regime would roll over and beg for mercy. The US government are full of idiots.

For a while I thought "TDS" was magas describing their own deranged thinking/mental gymnastics for Trump. Then I learn it was instead them projecting that onto others. But in the end, it really is just them telling on themselves all the same.

It's also now the laziest 'out' from any debate or conversation. On about the same level of retort as "I know you are but what am I" that 7 year olds dropped on the playground.

The fact that someone could believe that an actual syndrome could arise based around the feelings of a single human being is completely preposterous. There is literally no other illness like this. As soon as someone mentions Trump Derangement Syndrome, they’ve excluded themselves from critical thinking.

You could make a case for any of the three being the worst.

Israel is an actively genocidal apartheid state, but at least they're relatively democratic, competent and have some care for their own people.

Iran is a terrorism supporting murderous oppressive incompetent theocracy, but right now they're just as much victims than oppressors, and they have little power over what's going on.

The US is a combination of an idiocracy, cleptocracy, and fascism, but at least it's not yet as bloodthirsty as the other two.

They are way more responsible of the whole situation than anyone else, due to having more (at least hypothetical) power than anyone else over the situation, so in that sense I would agree they're the worst.

Kakistocracy is a system of government led by the worst, least qualified, or most unprincipled citizens.

Sounds like the oil infrastructure on Kharg island weee not targeted. Only military targets.
