Can you lend me some of that gasoline that's going to be so expensive soon?

Good question

“sorry, can’t give it back. it was defective. broke into a million pieces the first time we used it.”

Hopefully the repayment is air-delivered directly to Mar-a-Lago.

Always take the "collision damage waiver" option.

FFS

In crypto.

Lend-Lease agreements are quite common, see Ukraine

And USA would have to “lend” a B-2 bomber or two, since Israel does not have bombers that could carry the bunker-busters.

Exactly. If it happens it is the U.S. launching it.

Not to mention the military airmen to fly the plane. Since Israel doesn’t have these planes, they don’t have pilots that know how to operate them. We are living under the stupidest regime in the history of the Earth…

It’s like lending stuff to anyone in my ex-wife’s family. You either don’t get it back at all, or it comes back wrecked.

Do you think we'll get a mineral rights deal with Israel, or is Trump talking about the US taking over Gaza the repayment?

Same way oil companies use exploring as a euphemism for drilling

I think "Wall Street CEOs get inside information about war plans" is your beat.

Yes, odd word choice. but let's not ignore the mundane illegal insider trading being confessed here

extremely carefully

They can only be deployed from a B2 Bomber, are we going to “lend” them one of those too?

'I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today,' is how.

With lots of tanks?

Trump Tower Gaza?

Large deposit?

Maybe it's more of a consignment: if they use it, we add it to their foreign aid allowance.

It will be repaid by terrorists.

The payback is in shrapnel, obviously -- with interest, and with astonishing speed.

Also, not really the point, but how is it not illegal for wall Street guys to be trading on this insider information?

Prosecutorial corruption...er, I mean "discretion."

I heard they have a 30-day return policy on unexploded bombs, but they have a steep 25% restocking fee and shipping is pricey 🥺

Its like a stick of gum but... not.

Don't worry about "lends", FDR explained all that with garden hoses! Iran IS the fire, that's the key.

With a whole lotta love.

tRUmp wants to use it. He’s practically telling the world he will because he can’t help himself.

Never before thought about how bombs are like Kleenex and gum.

Favors.

Can’t strap it to an F-16 exactly

What if two carried it on a string between them?

It’s a simple matter of weight ratios Now the Eurofighter…

Now, this is the kind of thing computer generated pictures are good for.

In fairness, I think of the Lend Lease Act.

Don’t we then have to also “lend” them the B-2 bomber necessary to carry the bomb?

They'll probably check it out from the Library of Congress and then report it lost or damaged.

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a bunker-buster today.

Tuesday: "Oh, hey, good to see you! How you doing? Hey, I'm in kind of a rush, let's catch up some time next week, okay? Take care and give my best to the Senate. Gotta run!"

There’s a deposit, of course.

Put it on your Amex Centurion. That’ll cover the insurance too.

It will be a massive crypto payment to the criminal in the White House.

Something that they can not make AND something they are incapable of even delivering.

If you send some bombs you tend to get some bombs back.

Wall Street probably has better intel than anyone except whoever is bugging his phone, since Trump is probably bragging to any CEO who will listen.

Is it really a regular practice to loop wall street in on war plans?

Hegseth is on Signal again.

-- and the rest of the MAGAts are on the phone to their brokers.

Are we going to lend them the B-52 stealth bomber to drop it or are they going to use a slingshot?

And DJT will fly it himself!

It’s like going to Hertz. The IDF will show up and they’ll say “pick any bomber in the aisle”. Not just the ordnance but crew, intel, fighter support, refueling and of course the aircraft.

"But just so you know, we're not involved", they said with a wink and a nod.

Lending someone a big expensive thing that explodes when used just sounds like giving “pallets of money” to israel to me 🤷‍♂️

With some beachfront property and/or 747.

Same way that lending Trump money usually bombs as an investment

The only way we can lend them the bunker busters needed to "finish the job" is to drop them ourselves from B-2s . GBU57 30k lb bomb cannot be dropped from any aircraft Israel has. Unless perhaps we helped them dominate the air so thoroughly that they could safely drop it out of the back of a C-130.

That tactic was used in the Nam. Rolled 2,000 pounders out the back of a Herc to create instant LZs for us to insert and extract troops. I've read that only the B-2 is heavy lift enough and that it would take a series of the bombs hitting the hole left by the previous one to penetrate deep enough.

They send us another one. (Ominous implications.)

Up the wazoo.

I will gladly repay you Tuesday for a hamburger and bunker busting bomb today.

Especially since, I hear, they need a very special, delivery vans.

In cold, hard cash.
