The Republican president has previously referred to fallen American service personnel as “suckers” and “losers.” He has never served in the military, having in fact dodged the Vietnam War draft on five occasions. The last of those owed to a bone spur diagnosis. It’s a condition that usually affects elderly individuals. He was 22 at the time.
Trump has similarly threatened to invade U.S. allies Panama, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a fellow NATO member.
The MAGA president’s growing, campaign-promise-busting appetite for military engagement also comes amid his bitter disappointment at being passed over for last year’s Nobel Peace Prize, despite a concerted public and private push by his allies. It was previously awarded to his Democratic predecessor, President Barack Obama.
In a letter regarding that snub, Trump wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in January that “considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”
The Norwegian government is not affiliated with the Nobel Committee, which decides independently to whom it will grant its awards. Trump’s claim to have stopped eight wars remains highly disputed.
The pedo sack of shit and his thugs strike again by murdering innocent people and wasting billions from the US treasury. All this shit to distract from the Epstein files.
Send the maga maggots first
Many of them are in the military. I feel bad for the members that aren’t and just want to finish their enlistment or retire.
The American military consists entirely of volunteers and their track record has been well-established for decades now. Anyone who signed up or re-upped after the War on Terror knew what they were getting into.
I disagree. Trump first term and Biden were anti new wars. That was 8 years of draw dawn (really longer than that as Obama started the draw down and ended the Afghan war). Enough time to convince a high schooler to join. Also, don’t forget that the military is probably the best social mobility apparatus in the US. When I joined i was working at Walmart, when I got it I was making over 6 figures with a 4 year degree and no student debt. In 2020 I was at 10 years and made the decision to get out. Sometimes I think about how I would only be 4 years away from a pension right now, but I would be asked to commit war crimes; and I’m very glad I didn’t try to stick it out. It’s not as simple as you make it sound. Many of our troops are just people trying to get ahead in life.
Saying “They do it for the money” isn’t much of a defence.
Oh yeah, and why do you do your job?
Indeed, the useless racist neo-Nazi fucks voted for this BS. Will Krasnov encourage his sons to join the US military and fight, fight, fight?

This is revolting, we are fucked. What a weenie
Imagine dying to protect a paedo from the repercussions of his many decades of raping children.
Here lies Chad DudeMcHamburger.
Blown to pieces in Iran for a person who didn’t, and still doesn’t, give a shit about anyone, even his own children.
Rest in peace knowing that you were a distraction from the kiddie fiddling for a few days.
RIP.You guys are so fucking cooked down there.
This is a worldwide epidemic of unrestricted capital. You’re next beaverboy.
“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from threatening international peace and security,” Carney said in a speech at the Canada-India Growth and Investment Forum in Mumbai on Saturday."
Oh gee, thank god I have an American telling me about this. I surely didnt already know this about my own country.
Anyway we arent running around shooting people in the head in the middle of the street so yeah, we arent even close to how fucked you guys are.
Yah, you’re a completely different species up there, I forgot about that.
A species somehow capable of admitting that they are heading towards the same problem but somehow also finding something to feel superior about.
You arnt running around shooting people yet! Canada has a solid history of war crimes, murder, and generally being some extremely vile people in times of turmoil.
Oh my goodness we do?! What would we do without Americans enlightening us. I had no idea. Boy you guys are so helpful.
Here is the differnce. Canada has an entire government panel on Truth and Reconciliation and is actively working with First Nations to implement self-governance for Indigenous communities.
The US is trying to deport Indigenous Americans.
We won’t be the only ones
He’s literally paraphrasing Farquaad at this point.
“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make!”
“In order to get elected BarackObama will start a war with Iran” - Trump, Nov 29, 2011
“BarackObama will attack Iran to get re-elected.” - Trump, Jan 17, 2012
“Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate.” - Trump, Oct 9, 2012
“I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!” - Trump, Sept 16, 2013
It’s always projection with fascists.
Could you imagine if ol’ bone spurs had actually went to Vietnam?
Grenading hopefully.
How can he betray the ideals of the FIFA Peace Prize and the Bored of Peace so easily?!
Slop
I’m ashamed he’s my president but I’m more ashamed that a significant number of my fellow Americans don’t just tolerate his words and behavior, they fully and enthusiastically support them.
Go and die for your overlords then. Fucking disgrace of a country and I hope we fail.
But, but, but “peace president”!
He literally said, “Fuck it and fuck all y’all. No peace prize? No peace!”
He doesn’t care because his family is not fighting in it.
Yup. Black Sabbath is right again.
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Let’s make sure they are in the next one.
Bone spurs are actually a VERY common Medical Discharge with Full Benefits from Boot Camp. My division alone had around 12% of the recruits develop bone spurs from marching with full rucksacks. This was the Navy, I can’t even imagine how bad it is in the Army and Marines. That being said, we know what causes it in young people. Excessive marching. I seriously doubt that Drumpf was even in marching band. (I was in marching band, and thought those marching drills were excessive, until I got to Boot Camp.)
It bring a common discharge reason was probably specifically why that diagnosis was used. As with most things, he didn’t learn enough about it to make the lie convincing, i.e. he’d have to show up to boot and actually do something for a bit in order to get them.
