Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Is this just cope because he really wants to drop a nuke but his handlers won't let him?

[–] MrNobody@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

It could also be cope due to him wanting to be remembered for something big. The atomic bombings were massive, and will stand throughout history as the first, and so far (and hopefully), the only time nuclear weapons were used on civillians. Sure it may have stopped the war, and that may be what Donald is equating it to, however I do feel he wants to be remembered throughout history for something good. His ego needs it, he needs it. No-one else has plastered their name over buildings and coveted gold and other gaudy decor options. Nothing more than a narcissistic moron who wants to be remembered throughout all of time as the greatest person to have ever lived.

Most probably.

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up using nukes.

His handlers are neocon Zionists and they are itching to destroy Iran

I think there's a tug of war going on between his Zionist handlers, his Russian handlers and more recently his Gulf handlers. The Russians called dibs first so they're currently on top.
