Tileman @tileman.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Someone’s welcome to fact check me on this but the Trump Iran War either just exceeded (or is about to) the number of US troops killed in Biden’s ‘disastrous’ withdrawal from Afghanistan. Remember how much outrage was directed at him for the cost of getting out of that war? 020

Tileman @tileman.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Trump is obviously not the brightest bulb on the tree, and clearly he prioritized loyalty over competence in his cabinet picks, but surely someone in the Administration must see that virtually everything they’re doing is straight out of Putin’s plan to destroy NATO and democracy. 000

Tileman @tileman.bsky.social · 31/10/2025What a powerful juxtaposition: I just heard that the $40 billion Trump gave to Argentina to bail out his autocrat friend, is about equal to the annual budget of USAID, the organization that helped people in need around the world, and was fed into the woodchipper by Musk/Doge.
