Dying for Epstein to own the libs.
Can we in the rest of the world not get involved in yet another ground war in the Middle East?
Translated into neolib-speech: The markets will react poorly
It will be more like Afghanistan. Iran is mostly mountainous and guerilla warfare will be the default. The US relies too much on technology which will not that useful in that environment. Don’t forget that the Iran army has been training for years for this type of conflict. Afghanistan was a disaster for American troops but will be nothing compared to Iran.
I dont feel bad for any american troop who dies. They willingly joined this military knowing all it does is attack other countries. I feel bad for the iranians who will die.
Ah yes selectively valuing some lives differently than other lives, that’s what a good and moral person does
They aren’t going to go full invasion, they will take islands, maybe a foothold on the straits.
Wouldn’t that make them sitting ducks?
Sure the suckers stationed there will be sitting ducks, they will have to dig in, park a patriot battery and missile defense there, and then sit back and let the deciders collect kickbacks for the billions in missile defense they use. And batter back.
In term of soldiern death I expect it to be vietnam
It’s going to be worse.
In Vietnam, the us had South Vietnamese troops to use as a distraction. We’re not going to have that in Iran, cause it looks like the cia can’t start a revolution for once.
And Israel will kill American soldiers with American munitions trying to “help” and the US will do nothing about it except more of the same.
That the AI fault.
I’m sure we’ll find some Kurds that will trust us again.
That’s cool, where are the Epstein files, you vile fucker?
Yeah this will make a global recession a certainty. Fck Trump.
lol Americans bout to die for Epstein
epstein and israel.
Is Media-ITE a credible source?
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mediaite/ – founded in 2009, leftist bias, but high credibility. 0 failed fact checks in 5 years.
https://ground.news/interest/mediaite – similar evaluation here
So looks pretty credible to me.
Literally everything has a left bias occurring to biased media fact checker guy. Also yes, it’s just a guy’s opinion.
Unfortunately very few sources reporting on the war are credible.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediaite :
The New York Times has described the site as “a blog that chronicles the gossipy media world”
So not the most credible source you could imagine. But on the other hand, Wikipedia doesn’t list any examples of Mediaite being fake news. And in this case, Mediaite is just summarizing a CBS article - the CBS article should obviously have just been linked instead.
In any case, it seems to me that Trump has two options: 1) Give consessions to Iran to save the global oil market or 2) ground invasion. Since I can’t imagine Trump surrendering, no matter how game theory rational it would be, I am expecting ground operations.
The NYTimes is one of the least credible sources on anything related to Israel. Taking their assessment of credibility of a news organization destroys your own.
There’s defnitley some irony in NYT giving credibility feedback for another outlet haha
How fucking dumb. The egotistical throwing of human lives into the pot where other human lives are taken, for no logical or rational reasons.
What didn’t you see the post of the pic with the caption remembering what we are fighting for, and it’s a picture of epstein in the soldier’s helmet?
Operation Epstein’s Fury.
FOR EPSTEIN!!!
Say it with me, folks:
YOU WILL DIE FOR OIL SO THAT THE EPSTEIN CLASS STAYS WEALTHY.
Don’t forget Israel, you die for the Epstein class AND Israel.
The Epstein class wants to fuck your daughter while you die in a war of aggression to make oil barons richer.
I think it’s more accurate to say “You will die for Epstein so that the oil class stays wealthy.”
Boots on ground will run into artillery and drones.
It’s like they learned nothing from watching Russia and Ukraine.
It will be more like Afghanistan. Iran is mostly mountainous and guerilla warfare will be the default. The US relies too much on technology which will not that useful in that environment. Don’t forget that the Iran army has been training for years for this type of conflict. Afghanistan was a disaster for American troops but will be nothing compared to Iran.
Afghanistan, but with a military with more plans and more space and more resources. It’ll redefine the meaning of “don’t conduct a land war in Asia”
I also wonder if the Iranian soldiers are willing to die for the regime or not. Like the Iraq invasion was relatively easy because the nation was fragmented and divided under Saddam and many soldiers deserted and surrendered quickly.
Of course the occupation was a different matter.
Whatever disagreements they have with the regime, they are rallying around the flag. Now they could peel off the kurds, except they already betrayed the kurds multiple times, and this administration explicitly has. Allowing Turkey to target them and such.
This US administration has no credibility, and no trust, and they are too dumb, mean, greedy, and short sighted to do empire successfully.
The regime is the only thing that maintain the state from complete collapse.Israel want another genocide. People learned from Iraq.
also iran is much larger, and mountainous than afghanistan.
Iran also has a lot experience with drone warfare since they’re supplying Russia with drones and have people operating and learning in an active war. Meanwhile the US hasn’t really fought against drones in a real war and they refused help from Ukraine one of the countries at the forefront of drone warfare.
I wonder how long will Trump stay in office when the internet starts getting videos of American soldiers getting killed by drones just like the ones with Russian soldiers we have right now.
Trump has raped children, is a convicted felon, and demolished part of the White House. He’s threatened reporters with execution, demanded personal enrichment as part of foreign trade, incited a terrorist attack on the Capitol building, and then pardoned the terrorists convicted of their crimes. He has openly solicited bribes and disclosed classified data to our enemies that resulted in the deaths of American agents abroad.
His supporters will not move an inch regardless of how many soldiers they see dying.
I’ve been around for over 4 decades and the only thing I’ve ever seen conservatives give a fuck about were gas prices, unborn babies (specifically), and people with not white skin becoming president.
Note: Specifically unborn babies because they don’t give a flying fuck about kids after they’re born. That’s why they voted for a party that is currently obliterating child cancer research and are against free school lunches.
Hey, they care a lot about children after they’re born, just not the way a normal person cares about them …
That’s because Conservativism isn’t really am ideology. It’s psychological cover for being selfish. Conservatives define their core values based on whatever is good for the people within the Conservative group. They believe that they are the good people, the special people, and that they are entitled to whatever they want. Anyone that stands in their way is evil. Any facts that challenge their world view are lies. Any crimes they commit in service to their goals are justified.
Conservatives don’t care about gas prices or unborn babies or racism unless those issues help them get elected. Conservatives get abortions when they want them. They will even blame other people getting abortions “for no reason” as the reason why they can’t get their own “totally justified and moral” abortion.
They start wars, make trade agreements, and deregulate inustries that raise gas prices, because someone is getting rich from the high gas prices. When Conservatives are in charge and prices go up, they will tell you it is your patriotic duty to fuel up you SUV and drive around.
Even the racism is entirely user dependent. Black conservatives, Latino conservatives, Asian conservatives, Jewish conservatives, Islamic conservatives, Russian conservatives, they all hate someone and they all pretend to be the most persecuted people. It doesn’t matter if they all hate the same people, as long as they hate somebody.
This is not politics. It’s pathological narcissism.
This all has a simple cause at the root: conservative worldview assumes that life is a zero-sum game, and for one person or group to prosper, others must lose.
They also really hate us LGBTQ people
They don’t hate you they think you’re literally an abomination. Especially the religious ones
I don’t think those two things are mutually exclusive. I mean… I’m not a religious person, so perhaps there’s some nuance to it that I don’t get, but, yeah… there is at least some overlap
Guns and hating any sort of liberal thought.
Yeah but this could make gas prices go up.
I genuinely disagree only because, for so many of his supporters, it is their children. I don’t think it will change them as people or their politics as a whole but it will effect Republican chances in the next election. If we have legitimate elections at all. I’m almost certain there will be armed feds at polling stations to “protect them” and fearmongering about Iranian hackers tampering with the results.
also they usa does poorly against insurgency, which iran has expertise in, plus they have other contingencies to prevent thier own govt downfall, thier leader got replaced almost as fast as he was killed.
Until he dies.
If un-armed Americans getting killed at home didn’t get him removed, armed Americans getting killed overseas won’t get him removed, no matter what happens he will refuse to leave office alive.
There’s 300 million of you and 1 of him, do the whole world a favour AND FUCKING K-[Redacted for legal reasons but you get the idea].
I’m sure vance will be a paragon of liberal democracy.
The people who got Trump elected will find another hack celebrity.
Trump has no magic powers beyond “name recognition”, really, another “star”. There will be another. And another. And another. Trump will be replaced immediately. The same filthy rich vampires will continue to “donate” and keep them elected.
USA is openly pay-for-play now, they don’t even bother to hide it. Look who shared the stage with him when he won… and those were the dumb ones.
when the internet starts getting videos of American soldiers getting killed by drones just like the ones with Russian soldiers we have right now.
The difference is the videos will only come from official Iranian government sources since there is otherwise an internet blackout in Iran, to which the Trump admin will obviously respond “it must be AI, cannot be trusted, Iranian government propaganda.” Meanwhile, like during Iraq, “embedded” US journalists will present a more rosy view of the conflict for US viewers at home while minimizing coverage of mounting evidence that the stories are true as US soldiers start leaking video themselves as conditions worsen.
He will stay in office until the midterms or Democrats are lucky enough to swing the midterms instead of handing Trump his stupid shit SAVE Act to fuck up the midterms. If that doesn’t happen, he will be in office until he is dead, and there is almost assuredly no coming back from this, despite how notoriously stupid the entire Trump administration is.
A prolonged conflict in Iran could spell total global financial disaster. Like, really bad.
best time to buy is when there is blood in the streets, republicans are disaster capitalists…they’re actively trying to collapse the markets so they can profit from it.
they do it everytime they’re in power, it’s a pretty obvious cycle tbh…every recession the last 50 years happened under a republican administration
You’re almost there!
Just wait until you learn about THE FED and the actual disaster capitalists, like JP Morgan, Deutsch Bank, and so on.
They’re international and they run the show (and the US dollar) “under” every Democratic admin. (bOtH sIdEs, sitting at table with Nazis, etc.)
Look at what happened after The Great Depression, and in 2008 under Obama, and our other bubbles. Who profited from those bubbles bursting? Why are they in charge of the US Dollar?
It’s a mystery, I’m sure they’re looking out for us
Oh sweet, the “good cop” term is on the way to save the day! I am sure that they will fix everything and punish those bad cops this time! I CAN FEEL IT
Watching the glue factory footage yelling “it’s AI” all the way down
The US military has long been obsessed with World War II era tactics. Which essentially amounts to “We’ve got more troops than you, and we’ve given them bigger guns”.
But this strategy hasn’t been relevant since the end of the Cold War. Why would I care how many soldiers you have stationed at an important facility when I can just blow said important facility up with my big bomb? Their presence is irrelevant. Now that drone combat is so prevalent the number of troops you have is even less relevant.
Iran has essentially managed to defeat the United States without any of their troops moving beyond their border.
The US always loses to asymmetric warfare. Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam.
I’m not a USA latter 20th century historian - have they actually won a war since WWII
He is doing what putin tells him.
And to those who say that Russia and Iran are allies. Russia was never a true ally with anyone, it is just partnership of convenience. US destroying itself in Iran has massive benefit for Russia.
And the fact that US did this and also lifted sanctions on Russia and Belarus is clear demonstration that US is ruled by Russian agent.
Please just think about this for 5 minutes.
Russia’s economy is about the same size as California’s. They can no longer afford the President, Russia needs to step it up and give him a jet, a few hotels, or something to compete.
It’s all legal, none of this matters.
They bribed him since 80s and probably have more on him than it is in Epstein files.
through him likely, they have infilitrated the GOP since then, moscow mitch, rand paul i believe,etc. and everyones “favorite” tulsi gabbard.
probably have more on him than it is in Epstein files.
What more could there be?
If Trump would be a liability the billionaires would start an impeachment. Trump and the files are the distraction.
The files show that nothing happens, no matter the accusation. Russia can’t blackmail Trump. Blaiming Russia for Trump is just helping Americans to accept Trump because they don’t have to feel responsible.
The US has been buying Uranium, and I think even oil, the entire time from Russia, despite the sanctions. Lifting sanctions for other countries just prevents that they start decoupling from the US.
March 13 (Reuters) - The United States issued a 30-day waiver for countries to buy sanctioned Russian oil and petroleum products currently stranded at sea
Putin is not telling Trump to invade Putin’s ally, Iran. Even if it will hurt America, Putin does not want that, obviously.
Utterly brain-dead take.
Yeah? Tell me which country benefits most from the current situation? What has Iran to offer right now when Russia is producing their Shaheds domestically? Do you even think Russia would want Iran on any new countries to have nukes? The only thing putin cares is Iran seeing US and the West as their sworn enemies.
You know very little about Russia and recent events if you believe there are any agreements or alliances Russia honors.
Russia undoubtedly benefits the most, but not in the long run. Russia benefits from having allies.
LOL, so he lifted sanctions on Russia, Belarus and now Iran: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-authorizes-temporary-delivery-sale-oil-originating-iran-2026-03-20/
We’re all aware of what he’s done, doesn’t change the outcome.
I’m wondering about how they’re going to get them there in the first place. Both landing craft and rotorcraft are going to be very vulnerable if our air power can’t silence Iranian fire (which is seemingly the whole reason why this is “necessary”).
It takes $500 to stop an oil tanker because they’re, well, floating buckets of flammable material, with no armouring or defense capability.
It takes a lot more to stop an amphibious landing.
Yeah, and beach landings are notoriously hard to oppose.
$500!?
If they comp the bic lighter and arm floaties I’ll do it for half
Trump learning anything has to be the biggest oxymoron in the world.
Following in the grand tradition of Great Britain and Russia.
mostly russia.
Huh. So I guess these jagoffs are finally admitting this little jaunt of theirs is really a war, then?
Its gonna be longer than you think!
Born too early to deploy to the Middle East. Born too late to deploy to the Middle East. Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East.
God bless America and it’s love for forever wars in the Middle East.
Look at the bright side, at least we’re not falling for that climate hoax that all those rich, corrupt researchers keep pushing. With their environmentally conscious policies and clean energy, blech! Can you imagine how much worse it would be if we had continued to give them free reign to manipulate our govt?
One of my life’s greatest accomplishments is not serving the American military. I take pride in it.
Thank you for your lack of service. :)
Rich people sending poor kids to war is one of America’s pastimes.
won’t baron trump serve? he’s of age iirc
Lol well, did his shithead dad serve when he was drafted?
