This works out well for the Russians. If the gasoline is of low quality and their cars break down, there will be less demand for gasoline in the future. Win-Win. No need to worry about filling up your gas tank when you have no car.

On Iran, Trump said 159 Iranian ships were “at the bottom of the sea” and it does not have much military capability left.
Moving onto questions about the Iran war, Trump said:
The Iran war has been a tremendous military success. They are not going to have a nuclear weapon.
He added that oil prices are lower and reiterated that Iran’s ships and military has been decimated.

You'd probably be right. The Iranian navy had no military ships larger than what we would call a frigate (and precious few of those), and most were probably the size of a powerboat. He's basically bragging about sinking a local yacht club marina.

With the fake 'ceasefire' blowing up, 85 US military facilities being blown up by IRAN, the fat/orange dumbass talking about the 'Islamic State of Japan' and calling Zelinsky 'President Putin', this is indeed good news that we needed today.
Felt like it was talked about way more his first term, but DAILY this fucker is destroying the nation. We are having a very real fall out from fuckface's words and actions. Wake tf up Americans!
Worst 80s one-hit-wonder mashup ever. Iran is not so far away, and it’s turning Japanese, I said it’s turning Japanese, you know it’s turning Japanese, I really think so.

Name ANY Republican candidate in office right now from Donald Trump to Ken Paxton and tell me with a straight face that they are better candidates with better messaging.
I won't say that they themselves are good at messaging, but the right-wing media ecosystem is a lot better and more disciplined in winnowing down Republican messaging to what will be effective, and memory-holing the rest. The Democrats have nothing remotely similar.
Exactly. They don’t have better candidates or better messaging. They have better cheerleaders who can sell their candidates and their messaging to the public.
This is what gets missed in the conversation. Better candidates and better massaging mean nothing if you don’t have surrogates who can vouch for them.
Most voter’s decision to like a candidate doesn’t come from listening to stump speeches. It comes from seeing OTHER people say they like a candidate.

"Hey! This one says 'Rump Car'!"
The Lada will rise again!
If he were smart, he would drag out ole Bushy Jooners "Mission Accomplished" sign and THEN
continue the war with Iran. He wants to be a winner right ? Declare Victory, and then go to war.
This is Marketing Genius. Brilliant. Now I wonder why I didn't think of it before?
When reporters ask about the war, just point to the sign. Brilliant.
"Agape?" What the fuck?

"Trump reiterated a succession of Iran leaders “are gone”... and described them as “scum” who have killed thousands of protesters."
Isn't that something he wanted to do? Maybe shooting protesters in the legs is okay but killing them isn't.
Foreign governments killing protesters = bad
ICE killing protesters = good
During World War II, the Germans destroyed literally hundreds of Soviet divisions, tens of thousands of Soviet tanks, thousands of Soviet aircraft, etc. etc. etc.
Remind me, who won the war again?
I'd like to see a list of Iranian vessels sunk. I have a feeling there's an awful lot of jetskis and barges in that number.
You'd probably be right. The Iranian navy had no military ships larger than what we would call a frigate (and precious few of those), and most were probably the size of a powerboat. He's basically bragging about sinking a local yacht club marina.
To hear him tell it, he wiped out the Bismark AND the von Turpitz.
"Funny. These all have Venezuelan names!"
Seems like they have the strait by the balls though.

Are his minions and flunkies going to tell him about stuff like this, or are they too afraid of him?

Pedophile47 quite unhappy Iran not doing their part of the 'Deal'. He hates it when people
don't do what they say, lie, just can't be trusted. In his day a man's handshake was gold.

The sad fact is they win b/c a plurality of American's are stupid and/or hateful.
Seriously. That's it.

It's the difference between necessary and sufficient. Better candidates and better messaging are necessary, but not sufficient to win the fight.
