27. When even WE see America as a form of the Great Satan
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 06:35 PM
5 hrs ago

because of the Magas and the oligarchs and the tech bros who stole the last election, why wouldn't Iran... or any other country, for that matter? America under Trump is a threat and danger to all world order, and will have to be brought to heel. If we can't do it ourselves, other countries will see to it... just like they did with Hitler. They're not going to sit there and wait for the bombs to drop on their own countries. And all this, because of a demented old man who should have been in a Nursing home over a decade ago!
