Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.
Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
Cool how the president can just declare war now with no heads up or permission from Congress with no consequences. The democrats sure have gotten fucking quiet these last several weeks
The last time the US formally declared war was WWII. Presidents, both blue and red, have been taking advantage of the incredibly weak War Powers Act for decades now.
Pretty much this. Multiple generations of war TV have pointed this out. MASH has an episode about it for chrissakes.
Presidents can attack basically anyone under the blanket provisions given for 9/11
I don’t even think the Democratic party exists anymore, not really… Just crickets
Bold of you to assume that Democrats haven’t been getting rich off the industrial-military complex
When they speak up I’m sure that makes you angry also
When they speak up
So you can openly admit they’re not even bothering to do the bare minimum of speaking out about this stuff, yet still attack anyone who dares criticize them for the very inaction you referred to yourself?
they’ve literally introduced legislation to stop the war
Whoa, I guess we’re all safe and sound then. Time to pack it up and go home.
my point is you’re claiming they’re doing nothing when they’re literally doing what they’re supposed to fucking do
I’m obviously saying that they do speak up and this same type of commentary gets pissed about that too. They (and apparently you too) want Democrats to pull power out of their ass.

Why shouldn’t they? That’s exactly what Republicans are doing. These people specifically ran to represent us and they need to act like it.
I believe you failed civics class. Try again?
Oh, good one! Maybe you can send your Civics textbook to Donald Trump and he’ll realize the error of his ways. Great solution to the problem.
Congress is about 70% Holden Bloodfeasts.
It’s totally the fault of the people with no power! Down with the powerless! Down with the powerless!
The people who could be proposing to impeach like they did last time but are now not? We have even more cause now.
It’s always some agreement up top then they complain about Democrats. No complaint about Republicans there, nor their voters, nor the non voters.
Nope- just Democrats. Like clockwork.
now
Where have you been these last 25 years?
Hey Republicans, you can fire him at any point. You can also reign him in at any time. Why aren’t you?
Why would they stop him from doing what they want?
Do you have any idea how much money war brings to the USA?
For rich people specifically, but I’m guessing you were implying that.
yes about 800+billion/year for defense budget. at least close or more than half goes to defense contractors: boeing, raytheon, musk,etc.
President of “peace”
Who has numerously times threatened neighbours and allies with invasion as well.
“Piece”. He wants the world go into pieces.
This guy does not have complete control over anything, including his butt hole, bladder, or mouth. Why does anyone believe a word that slips past those fat painted lips of his is beyond me?!
His GI Joe military birthday parade didn’t go how he wanted, so now he’s going to punish the military by sending them to war. They didn’t goosestep for him. Someone needs to pay.
Yeah, I interpret his statement as “us” having no control and things being a mess and that it’s all fucked.
Sure but what does Iran have to defend itself? Isn’t it mostly outdated tech? It doesn’t sound very difficult to maintain air superiority in that area
We all know how this is gonna go if we go down this path. Ah, the good ol’ days.
You mean the old good old days?
What are those plates on the stand? For some reason I thought they were were a new thing related to signal jamming/disruption - but I must be off if they were used then.
It has nothing to do with us. Trump you are a piece of human shit.
Pretty insulting to human shit. Not sure what it did to deserve that.
Free Feces From Fascism!
Fecesm
Meanwhile Iran sent a few more missiles to Israel last night. That’s how much credibility this clown has.
The narrative was that Israel had gone behind his back and it made him look weak. Now it looks like Israel is winning and Trump needs to claim he was part of it. No, not “part of it”, the reason why.
Particularly in foreign politics, he badly needs a win: turns out international trade is not as easy as imposing tariffs and waiting for countries to call him with big offers and Diplomacy (who knew) takes more than a “Vladimir stop” post on social. He needs something quick to show in-between golf games to get his popularity above “get my teeth drilled by the dentist” level again.
So is Trump claiming that in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems?
Pressing X to doubt here
With how powerful our military and air force is honestly it’s more believable than not.
in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems
Given how insanely powerful the US Armed Forces can be, objectively speaking, that’s honestly not entirely unbelievable.
live near a US Air Force Base. It hasn’t mobilized.
I know, just saying out of all the unrealistic bullshit that comes out of Trump’s mouth hole, this isn’t that unrealistic.
And his cultists will have conveniently forgotten about our abandonment of the Kurds during his first term, and suddenly be pro-expansionism again…
Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That’s what we do, right?
This is probably how that bill will be passed in the senate. US goes to war… we need to spend spend spend!
The ranting of a senile man with unknown amount of partial control over the military and government .
It is terrifying, especially after he said Tehran should evacuate. He completely freaked out a city the size of New York.
He can’t find his own ass, imagine if he can locate Teheran on a map.
Even if we aren’t. He will claim the W and act like it is all him. His ego needs it right now.
Americans, if you follow Trump into Iran you’ll officially confirm that you do, indeed, deserve fascism.
