The gay bomb you won a Nobel peace prize for? Why don't you use that? Nothing more destructive to a religious totalitarian government than turning gay. And while you're at it drop it in red states too, maybe they'd be less pent up and murdery if they finally came out of the closet.

You see we call it the gay bomb but it's actually the rape bomb. Do with this info what you will

Canola bomb is actually preferred for marketing purposes nowadays

But if it makes all combatants equally gay and equally rapey is cancels each other out. They could just man-train it in a circle. Now just throw in the brown sound weapon and this would be something worthy of Newgrounds flash animation in 2008

The desperation is understandably obvious.

There likely were no convenient answers from AI either, and the outcome is much like what analysts at the Pentagon had predicted it would be - though Netanyahu somehow has Trump's ear.

So now he's left with crowdsourcing the problem.

Someone else commented that this belongs in the Non-Credible Defense topic. I fully agree.

I also stand with the other individual who commented that the US needs to ask for forgiveness. Immediately following that, reparations should be made.

Connected to this situation is the ongoing genocide and the Epstein files that have yet to be released as lawfully required.

What about 'creative and unconventional' ways to ask for forgiveness?

Jesus Christ, I wish Donald had been lucid when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs told him not to start this war.
