I can't believe that the outcome of the US illegal war on Iran is going to be that the Iranian regime will still be in power, will get a quarter metric fuckton of money from the Americans, and will have all sanctions ended.

@thomholwerda It will also funnel more money to Russia, boost oil company profits, and mean that we have to spend a bunch more money to restore our arms reserves.
Then, and this is the other big bonus for Republicans: they get to plead debt and cut more social services.
And there's all the market manipulation, too.
Trump and his circle make out like bandits, the rest of us get hosed.
It's the biggest mob bust-out in history.

Oh and it also depleted the US' military reserves, cost them a universal healthcare worth of money, and made them look like total dumbasses.
The Americans lost this war so hard it makes my head spin.
@thomholwerda In fact, they looked like total dumbases before this particularly extravagant display of dumbassery.

@thomholwerda Looks like the Russians won this war, and they weren't involved in the fighting!

Here's an essay arguing that fascists, though they love the trappings of war, are absolutely terrible at it.
Fireside Friday, February 23, 2024 (On the Military Failures of Fascism)
Fireside this week! We'll pick up looking at some of the successes of Hellenistic armies next week. Percy, having found a use for some of my books. And of course, less I miss a chance to note, at the top of the pile there is the Brill's Companion to Diet and Logistics in Greek and…

Most other forms of governments are better able to figure out if they're going to get their asses handed to them before they start a war.

@thomholwerda AND we have strengthened their resolve to develop nuclear weapons. AND we have proven we are not a reliable negotiating partner. AND they are even more hardline now and have complete disregard for domestic decent or civil rights
Are we tired if wining yet?

You lose wars and conflicts when you are led by dumb ass "losers"........
Proactively starting a war is the first sign of a genuine loser

@thomholwerdaIt's also the most successful campaign for de-dollarization, nations are dumping U.S bonds like it's the plague and changing their loans in USD to some other currency.
Nations world wide are also re-thinking their strategic security partnership with the U.S after the U.S could not even defend it's own bases in the Middle East and now after it depleted itself, is seizing nations weapons procurement for themselves...

@thomholwerda this is nothing new. The American military only achieves tactical successes, while suffering strategic defeat, which leads to the only war that U.S military ever "wins" ( not that there are winners in wars ) is the one it has with it's defense budget.
That's it's superpower it's military might, it defeats the budget.
It spent 20 years in Afghanistan and when it finally admitted defeat and fled, it left the opposition better armed then when it arrived...
