This might be those weeks where decades happen. So many possibilities. It'll be exciting to see what happens, from a distance.
honestly, can't believe that an Iran-US war is becoming an Iranian victory, with most of the US supporting Iran.
US was always a paper tiger. the military isn't designed for any sort of war, but designed to funnel public funds to military shareholders's pockets.
"You fool, you just activated my trap card"
Idk, it's possible our military just always sucked but Im more inclined to believe it's just ineffective because the people running it are absolute braindead clowns.
both. it was designed to be a money sink. that's why it's budget is greater than basically all the rest of the world military, but lost a 20+ year war against some of the poorest peoples in the world.
It is incredibly effective against civilians though
Yeah, the US military is only good at murdering brown agrarian peasants. Especially their ground forces; they regularly get schooled in international exercises and they have to tell the OPFOR to take it easy on them because it hurts their feelings to not be the best.
For all the American hate against socialism, the military is our biggest jobs program.
... That's the opposite of socialism.
A lot of military is just the massive upkeep, and thats I think where the US shines, given they can export any inflation created.
I don't think its a question of skill or training.
Iran holds all the cards.
You military has always been extremely capable of attack.
But your defense has been destroyed by corruption since at least the 90s.
"Uhh... uhh... But woke... and trans children... and groomers... ohh... he was a friend of Epstein..."
It's not quite as exciting, watching it happen from inside.
As someone with an inside perspective, I'll appreciate your outside perspective for a quick laugh between cry-sessions
