I haven't heard it that way. The reports i've read made it sound like ukraine was offering to help, not that they've been asked by is. The subsequent report i read the next day(yesterday i believe)@"" mentioned they offered to provide the weapons they use to take down drones in exchange for interceptors. I got impression they were essentially being ignored because it seemed very one sided (all coming from ukraine)

That makes it seem like US is groveling, which i don't think is particularly accurate. If anything its making Ukraine seem over-eager. At least what I read. Can't say I blame them though

^ i saw they offered to help the Europeans. If they’re not making the trump admin grovel behind the scenes they’re making a mistake

" he was asked whether it's reasonable for Americans to have concerns about being attacked at home. “I guess,” Trump, 79, responded. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things." "Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die." "

I mean its sooooo clear why he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, not that he ever deserved it. He knew it was either 2025 or never.

I wouldn't mind him using new never used weapons like tactical nuclear weapons or something, not excessively though...iran would have to acquiesce at that point

3/11/2026 8:39:31 AM

Respectfully what the fuck are you talking about


You're OK with NUKES???

3/11/2026 8:52:58 AM

Nuclear is a non-starter due to effects of fall-out and residual radiological contamination. You know that.

3/11/2026 9:50:20 AM

Not to mention the decades we've spent trying to convince the world they should never be used and the risk of mutual destruction

I think war is more complicated than you credit. And a couple of weeks ago, weren't you saying something about being glad we didn't have boots on the ground.....less than 24 hours after the first attack?

Yeah. Nobody has that level of control over war that you can take such things for granted. Trump might think he does, but he's a fucking idiot.

hey guys - just chiming in here with my 2 cents - I don't mind if Trump uses the nukes (tactical so no biggie). He just can't go overboard. that's the way to get Iran to call it a day

3/13/2026 9:39:25 PM

What if he uses them to get Canada to call it a day and finally join our great nation?

" Jared Kushner has no official role in government. No oversight. No accountability. So he can negotiate on behalf of the US government while shaking down gulf autocrats for billions and promising them god knows what. Staggering corruption. Jared Kushner, one of the U.S. government's chief negotiators in the Middle East, is trying to raise more money for his private equity firm from governments in the region. Mr. Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, has spoken with potential investors in recent weeks about raising $5 billion or more for Affinity Partners, his investment firm, according to five people with knowledge of the talks who were not permitted to speak publicly about the discussions. As part of the fund-raising effort, Affinity's representatives have already met with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which invests the proceeds of the kingdom's vast oil reserves, two of the people briefed on the discussions said. PIF is led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has formed close ties with Mr. Kushner and the Trump administration. PIF, which is already the largest and earliest investor in Affinity, invested $2 billion soon after the first Trump administration "

I hope we see justice for this one day, but perhaps even more importantly (and less likely?), a clear codification in law to prevent such abuse in the future.

" The Trump administration is considering a new strategy for throttling the country's offshore wind industry, after federal judges blocked its five previous attempts to stop wind farms under construction off the East Coast. Senior administration officials are drafting settlement agreements that would pay nearly $1 billion to TotalEnergies, the French energy company behind two wind farms off New York State and North Carolina, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times, including copies of the agreements. Under the terms of the proposed settlements, the Interior Department would cancel the leases in federal waters for the two projects, known as Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay, the documents show. The Justice Department would then pay more than $928 million to TotalEnergies, reimbursing the company for its winning bids in lease sales during the Biden administration. In exchange, TotalEnergies would abandon its plans to begin building the wind farms. It would also commit to investing in natural gas infrastructure in Texas, as the Trump administration prioritizes the production of fossil fuels over renewables like wind and solar power. "

We’re mired in Iran because of oil and trump admin wants to remove any other options. This has to be an MBS play
