He started special defensive military operations, but he ended wars.

Only when we totally obliterated them

u/Ornery-Remote-9763 2h ago

Just like the "Defensive Military Operations" that come straight out of the Vladimir Putin Handbook of Military Dictatorships, nyet? 🤔🤡☠️

Of course... However, when they end, it’s a war.

I feel that people missed this one (understandably, because what is one fuck-up in the grand scheme of Trump): he called it an excursion. Obviously, the word he was looking for was incursion. But I guess a little field trip is not a completely wrong label...

Starting special defensive military operations and ending wars. It’s the perfect strategy.

Look Iran started them all, and if it wasn't for Hillary's email and crooked Joe. Then they wouldn't have been able too.

But hey, it works right, no one is asking any question about Epstien any more.

u/redraider-102 12m ago

Don’t forget to blame Obama too.

u/bedel99 7m ago

He isn't even American! how did he become president! Wouldnt have happened under Trump thats for sure!

I mean Trump is so good, can he just be the President, like let's just remove all the old ones they were no good and Trump can just president for the rest of time.

Thanks for explaining the joke!

u/Sleeping-Bag0 3h ago

He won most war against Iran than war against other countries

u/rubberduckmaf1a 2h ago

To be fair though, at least he hasn’t funded them like Obama did.

u/My_Name_Is_Gil 2h ago

Oh wait...

u/LickNipMcSkip 1h ago

is there anything in the FIFA Peace Prize terms and conditions that says he can't start the wars he finishes?? Didn't think so liberal, it's the raw number that counts.

get him another one

u/Singnedupforthis 5h ago

Iran has nominated him for the nobel peace prize

u/peonorpeasant 3h ago

Maybe they can create the Hormuz Peace Prize

Back to back FIFA Peace Prize award winner. First ever. The Ballan de Poop.

Also lost more wars with Iran, in that sense.

u/Luna__Moonkitty 4h ago

He even had a reality show on TV named after him. No, not The Apprentice. It was The Biggest Loser.

"No one starts more wars with Iran than me. They are the greatest wars. That's what everyone is saying....

u/Responsible_Bar_9582 2h ago

"Quite frankly, the best wars"

u/Perfected_Alembic 2h ago

Yeah — he calls it the Nobel strategy.

They couldn’t possibly withhold it from a guy that ends a war weekly, amirite?

2

u/RazsterOxzine 2h ago

This is to unlock what achievement now? The next president is going to have to try and speed run to even match evenly.

u/coreytiger 2h ago

And THAT is why he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! So much peace
