Bunker-Busting Bonespurs
The forecast calls for bombs and TACOs
The decision to go to war shouldn’t be left to a low-IQ racist, narcissistic toddler with impulse issues. I wonder if our generals feel like Hitler’s generals. In both cases, experienced and trained military professionals had to follow very stupid orders. In Hitler’s case, those orders cost Germany thousands of soldiers, either through death or capture.
Hitler was a veteran while Trump dodged the Vietnam War, citing bone spurs.
To the idiot conspiracy-theory spreading trolls at GoComics believing yesterday’s cartoon signals I’m for bombing Iran, no, morons. How could you come to that conclusion after years of reading my work?
To be clear, I do NOT support starting a war against any nation that hasn’t attacked us. This case is particularly stupid.
Donald Trump is demanding peace from Iran, which has never attacked us, after he dropped massive bombs on it. We HAD peace with Iran.
Years ago, Trump falsely predicted that President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran because he would be incapable of negotiating. Except it was President Obama who successfully negotiated for Iran to end its nuclear program, and the treaty was working. Iran was complying with all the conditions.
It was Trump who canceled the agreement and is now bombing Iran because he’s incapable of negotiating. And why would Iran want to negotiate with Donald Trump when they know they can’t trust him. How many treaties and agreements has Trump broken?
Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb today, or Trump and Bibi would not have bombed them. But Donald Trump just taught Iran that they need a nuclear weapon.
We may be slow learners of history, but the Iranians may not be. We forgot the history lessons of Vietnam and invaded Iraq. Iran probably remembers our demands on Iraq and Libya to lose their nuclear programs, only to see their regimes overthrown later.
Another history lesson we’re forgetting is our regime changes in Iraq and Afghanistan. How long is Trump prepared to commit US troops to this war? It’ll be a lot longer than Trump will be in office.
Last night, Trump said to the nation, “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.” And then he said there are other targets.
So which is it? Are their nuke capabilities “totally obliterated,” or do we need to keep bombing them? Or are we going to keep bombing them because it gives Trump a woody?
This is Israel’s war, and a war they didn’t have to start. It’s not our war…or it wasn’t.
What happens next? Will Trump keep bombing Iran? Will Israel? Will Iran start targeting American ships in the Persian Gulf or our bases in the region? Will Iran target Americans in the region? Will they hit our embassies?
Trump doesn’t understand this issue, yet he’s gambling with our resources. He’s gambling with American lives. The problem now is that the Trump Baby has to save face. If Iran fights back, so will he, but not at any risk to him.

Just a few reasons that we haven't dealt with Iran honestly for decades and they have no trust in us or our motives. When they had a democratically elected president in the early 1950's, our CIA in concert with Great Britain engineered a coup (actually 2 coups because the first one wasn't all that successful) to prevent them from nationalizing their oil company. Then we brought in the Shah who exploited their nation again. We also encouraged Iraq later to attack Iran. I doubt that the Iranians have forgotten that.
Excellent. Just waiting for him to blame LGBTs when the Straits of Hormuz get blocked.
