Finanzminister verteidigt US-Militäraktionen im Iran: „Manchmal muss man eskalieren, um zu deeskalieren“

Why did they send out the treasury secretary to say this instead of someone from the newly renamed „Department of War“?

Fuck this stupid asshole and anyone who supports this regime of pedophile sycophants.

I am convinced this guy is a robot.

you have to screw to remain a virgin

Oh son of a bitch these dipshits are dredging up Vietnam War fallacies 

Why is a TREASURY secretary saying ANYTHING about international relations or wars or anything that isn’t about the treasury?

I’m not American, can someone explain to me why the secretary of the treasury is talking about war? Seriously this guy should be talking about money, not justification of actions or war. Am I wrong or what.

No guys, he means like “You have to make something wet to dry it off”, you can’t *dry it* if it’s already dry. Has to get wet first.

So he’s saying that the US has to make things absolutely horribly shitty (‘escalate’) in order to fix it (‘de-escalate’).

Basically what we’ve already known – that MAGA creates problems then claims victory when they ‘solve’ it.

Sometimes you have to sling bullshit when you have not actual reasoning for your actions.

imagine saying this out loud where other people could hear it

Ah yes the guy who thinks the average „mom and pop“ investor has 10 or 12 houses in their property portfolio.

sounds like something an abusive husband would say.

Send his bitch ass to the front line then and see if he keeps his bullshit confidence

Why do we keep getting interview sound bites from the TREASURY Secretary about the war? What am I missing?

“We had to destroy the village in order to save it.”
