    It’s been really funny watching Americans publicly expose their ignorance all over social media

    They all assume it’s an inevitability that America wins this war and successfully deposes the Iranian government

    The notion of us failing to achieve our goals in any capacity is unfathomable to them

      Imo it’s not contradictory to think that the US is probably incapable of achieving it’s aims in the region, but that its perfectly capable of causing the collapse of any unified state, the deaths of tens of thousands of people if not more and ruining the lives of tens of millions while trying

      Yet another thing is that Trump is the head of the military yet so many libs are working so hard to pretend it’s no problem at all. It’s so weird to me. I posted the following a couple days ago…

      Why a Democratic Congressman Is Supporting Trump’s War with Iran - The New Yorker

      Representative Greg Landsman explains his hope [to Isaac Chotiner] that the conflict remains limited but also creates an entirely new Middle East.


      This bit is surreal.

      I just meant that it seems like we were trying to effectuate regime change, which the President himself has said, rather than just knock out military targets.

      Yeah. And let me also be clear. I’ve never trusted Trump on this, or on the economy, or on keeping us safe in general.

      You are trusting him on this, though, right?

      No.

      You aren’t?

      I’m trusting the military and our generals. I’m trusting what I understand to be the operation and the people leading it—that is, the generals and our military and our allies.

      You’re trusting the people leading the operation who don’t include the President?

      Well, I don’t trust that guy. Yeah.

      He’s the Commander-in-Chief, right?

      Sure. Yeah. But I can’t [trust him]. And he’s proven that over the past couple of days, being all over the place, unlike everybody else involved in this.

    “The uncouth and uncivil republicans have endangered the Garden by drawing the ire of the primitive savages, leaving us no choice but to be the adults in the room and genocide the savages lest they seek revenge, for their minds are too small to realise that cheeto-man is responsible for this, not us, their moral and intellectual superiors.”

      You (probably) joke, but I’ve seen a reporter literally ask an African leader (I can’t remember the leader or the country) if his choosing to cooperate with Russia is revenge against the West for colonialism, or reporters basically framing anything people from Africa or the Middle East do as revenge against the West

      Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
      The night is so black that the darkness cooks
      Don’t you come creepin’ around
      Makin’ me do things I don’t wanna do

    If there was a race war that guy would join the Aryan Nation because any group opposing them would obviously be inferior.

    For what it was worth,
    not a false dichotomy,
    Just not a hard choice.
