As far as I can see they've assassinated the leader of Iran and his whole family, except his son, then got his very angry son elected as leader... then declared victory and said it's over?
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social You missed the bombing of elementary schools, hospitals, and cultural sites but other than that I think you've got it. -

@GossiTheDog Looks like he forgot to inform the minions of this victory?
"Hegseth says today will be the ‘most intense day of strikes’ in war against Iran"
"The US defence secretary says the military is increasing attacks on the regime"
"Pete Hegseth warns of ‘most intense’ day of US strikes on Iran yet"

@GossiTheDog My prediction from Saturday was a spontaneous US withdrawal for stock market insider trading purposes. Do something stupid to crash the market, buy discounted stocks, move on to the next scam
Monstrously callous and inhuman, of course

@GossiTheDog You're trying to rationalise the irrational.
But, the #iran war almost feels like it's more about a "pump and dump" scheme for the rich to quickly and massively profit from oil investments, than it is about regime change.

@GossiTheDog If they can wreck the stock market then they can promote meme coins and rugpull more money out of everyone.
Countries can bribe Trump to stop causing Iran to bomb them. Then Trump can add another war/peace participation trophy to his wall.
Saudi Arabia sure paid the Trump empire a lot for something.

️Next up is decap and occupy Cuba, which then will look like de-escalation and home-court scuffle. That’s a personal favor to Rubio, their best boy.

@GossiTheDog They're using my money to drop bombs on people I've never met for reasons they can't seem to articulate. It's all just great.

@GossiTheDog Trump was suckered into fighting Netanyahu's war for the Middle East
now its damaging the US economy (read: the rich) so he wants out
but Trump doesn't want to appear subordinate to Israel OR to have turned against them
if he can't find a way out, some achievement to cling to as the goal all along, he'll have to double down
obviously most people are not driven by trying to prove themselves a big man and consider admitting mistakes and being humble to be a virtue
Trump isn't most people

Follow the money!
Who knew the war was coming and how much money did they make speculating on the market in advance?

@GossiTheDog And Trump said something like, “We had some ideas on who we wanted to take over, but we killed them too”.

Trump has called for an Iran uprising but the lessons from Iraq in 1991 loom large https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0znx4xrl9o

Trump has started a war he doesn't want to fight. He wanted the Iranian people to fight it for him, and when that didn't happen he expected the Kurds to step up.

I still don't understand the US war on Iran. They declared war, then said it wasn't a war, then it was, then it wasn't, then it was, then declared victory, said Iran's military was totally disabled.. and now they're begging for help from the rest of the world as things keep getting blown up?
Like - what is the plan here?
There's not point asking the UK for help, we probably sold all our boats to Lidl.
