Let me see if I've got this straight yet. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. [View all]

A few weeks ago we were actually negotiating with the Iranians, and then suddenly we started bombing them, and we managed to kill their top negotiator and a bunch of school girls and probably other people. Now Pete Kegbreath is explaining, "We negotiate with bombs," which is perhaps why "Big Mac" Donald is hallucinating that we're negotiating with the Iranians while the Iranians are meanwhile saying "What! The hell you say!" So we're getting ready to send thousands of troops towards the Middle East, while Donnie is busy ending sanctions to make sure the Iranians can sell plenty of their oil because this is just the fucking perfect time to make sure whoever-the-fuck we're going to war with has enough money to kill our soldiers so we have an excuse to buy lots more weapons to enrich the fucking military-industrial complex. And because Donnie is noisy bag of hot stinky gas, we're hearing how it's almost over and how it's all Kegbreath's fault and how we're going to bomb them into the Stone Age unless Donnie gets to snuggle up with some Ayatollah in Hormuz
