Such a failure of intelligence and mental ability. Incredibly conservative. Just keep beating up your opponent and being harsher and harsher until they fold and comply. Do it to your kids, do it to immigrants, do it to a country. The only tool in the empty mental toolbox.

Thing is, Iran is fully capable of punching back, and the big senile oaf trump absolutely cannot understand someone dishing back some pain - especially when trump personally is unaffected by it, just the rest of the countries and the people in the US.

Get our asses

yes please. iran: please strike targets on american soil, too. the US needs to get its teeth kicked in and doing it on “bases” is just stupid.

The problem is that might galvanize the population (of the US) and increase support for the war.

[–] PotatoPie@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That wouldn't affect the war just like lack of support for it didn't, population of US has no say on consequences of the wars their government wages, worrying about their support when it has no effect is meaningless

Let's hope they level the Pentagon to the ground instead of a primary girls only school

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

If Iran leveled the pentagon and nothing else I think the average american would support Iran more.

[–] Alkali@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I ... Don't believe you are correct here. The US has the most destructive military (non-nuclear) on the planet. The country simply does not have the appetite to actually commit blood, sweat, and money to this war. If they start striking the US, the US people will see it as an existential threat and be far more willing to dedicate as many resources as nessesary to eliminating the threat regardless of the fact that the US started it. That would be bad for everyone, but especially Iran.

It is far better to have the US population largely split in their support for the war effort.

In the US war on Vietnam, the anti war stance of the US population of draft age had a significant effect.

You May have stumbled upon the answer.

Trump is in LOVE with the princess of Iran. How old is she?

Experiencing the death throes of a dying global hegemony

Well, getting into a war which reveals its hard power as being much less than the image most had of it before and which pisses of its allies, all of this eating away its soft power, it is a pretty traditional thing in the collapse stage of empires.

... it is a pretty traditional thing in the collapse stage of empires.

it really goes to show that capitalism hasn’t broken the cycle since it shares the same fatal patterns as the empires that collapsed before it.

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

There's someone who hasn't lost hard enough yet, and they didn't consent to any MoUs

Looks like Iran need to keep teaching the burger reich that it can't fuck around without consequences.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If they can, they should bomb the absolute shit out of israel. That's the only thing that will put a real stop to this.

One missile in Suez would cripple the international economy like never before too

trump really painted himself into a corner here. He's probably starting to think it would've been better to just release all of the trump/epstein files. What a huge colossal waste for everybody on the entire planet.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Wait until he does that to distract from the draft for ww3

[–] minty@aussie.zone 23 points 2 days ago

America just needs to take the L lmao
