Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Snuffed

[Deesse23]

I am no Trump hater either I am not even american. Like most people outside the US i even gave up shaking my head quite some time ago. Thats the stage we are at! His *normal* antics (and that of anyone with inhis administration, Giuliani up to Pence) are not even noticed anymore as what they really are: utter insanity and incompetence, to say the least. I am however part of this board, and since it is populated with lots of USians i have no choice but to learn about the comic strip that the US government has become. Talking about hate, i particularly see one peronand his followers spreading hate and vitriol towards almost anybody (nd then turning 180° before turing 180° again which makes it even worse): DJT

Anyone who ready Twitter can see how hate has been normalized by the most powerful caricature of a human being on the planet.

To many americans it may has not dawned yet, particularly those who still stick with this clown*, but the standing of the US has probably been damaged far beyond what his presence in the WH may be. The US has been discredited far beyond what sme may imagine.


*and that i no insult but a pretty fair and acurate assessment of the availiable facts.

No. You don' t have a handle on chain of command.


When the Titanic sunk - was the captain blameless?

Nope. He was in charge.


That's how it works - for good or bad.

Not by the whim of your opinion.

CIC means Commander in Charge - not "cuz I concur".

Dude, your reply to me is a complete non sequitur. Where did i comment on Trump in relation to the operations regarding Al Baghdadi at all? I am german and a fan of german military history. You can bet your a$$ that i know what chain of command is.

The fact that Trump may have made a decision that was beneficial to the US, the world...whatever, does not mean by any stretch of imagination that he did the fuck know what the fuck he was doing. Being POTUS he has to make so many decisions that some of them HAVE to be *correct*. Yet looking at his underlying motivations it mostly points towards two things
#1 cluelessnes (as indicated by countless back-and-forth)
#2 or vileneness (when first praising then belittling and then praising again)
I cannot see how his orders to kill Al Badhdadi can be possibly have been based on something laudable.

At best i see someone who is amoral and possibly sociopathic and who tries to simulate being a feeling human being at times, who tries to simulate empathy, then gets confused when people are irritated because his simulation is so flawed and transparent.

And i dont hate him at all. Looking at how he must feel being at odds with the rest of humanity (including Fox news lately) i feel more pity than contempt. There were times where i tought it might be advantageous for him to lack empathy etc., but now i think life is living hell for him, a constant struggle. Always having been that way, he just doesnt know what it is like to be a human being, he never had the experience and never will. Nevertheless, he needs to be removed from his position and needs to bear the consequences for his actions, and i dont necessarily mean that (exclusively) in the legal sense. He may suffer from some mental condition, but he is not insane, and thus fully responsible for what he does to others.
