Terry Moran (@terrymoranjournalist): "They keep trying to tell us the war is over. We won. Iran lost. But it's not working. Because we all know: You can't BS your way out of war."
Today's bombing raid has enlarged the hole from yesterday's bombing raid. We have moved rubble from here... to here. Goat in the upper right hand corner - possible member of the Taliban - or "concubine" - we're not sure. We did fire the hundred million dollar cruise missile up it's ass and were successful. Operation "Extreme Redundancy" is carrying on! Like you can't fuckin BOMB these people back to the stone age - they'd go like, 'Upgrade? Fun!' ~ Robin Williams
*kill some people that exist* "this war has been won". (I lam listening to too much talking heads to even feel like the US is a parody of what the flurfburgl a state is.)
It's been true in all conflicts since air forces were a thing: you cannot win a war from the air. You can flatten entire cities, defoliate jungles, drop bunker busters into underground command posts, but you'll always need boots on the ground to really neutralise all resistance. You just have to look at a map of Iran to realise how insane that would be.
Today they claim it's over. Yeah right. If he thinks telling us that means that the enemy will let their guard down, he's obviously never read about Xerxes. And if he's doing it to placate a jittery pre-election public whose personal expenses just doubled within the last year, we know what that means. He needs to lock down the nation so we can't even hold elections without jackbooted thugs toting AR15s on every corner. False flag operation incoming in 3 2 1 ...
I so sick of his bullshit. Tough guy? No. TACO. Can't get a straight story out of him. TBH I would be less pissed with this stupid war if he said it straight "i just want their oil"
I'm sorry but I don't give a single FUCK about genocidal isrealies hiding in bomb shelters fearing for their worthless lives. Did all those Palestinian children and babies get to hide from your bombs when you attacked schools and hospitals?
To be fair the U.S. has continued to send troops anywhere they have "won". Germany and Japan have numerous U.S. bases. The U.S. never goes away unless they lose.
If any of those propagandists had an iota of journalistic integrity, they would've been banned in the first week of this regime. They're there because they are willing participants in this farce. They exist to add a veneer of legitimacy to the endless barrage of lies. They are our enemy and need to be recognized and treated as such.
Isn't the entire thing illegal since he didn't get congressional approval? Isn't that why his cabinet of sycophants were so upset about the "Don't follow illegal orders" PSAs?
And GW Bush stood on an aircraft carrier once and declared 'Mission Accomplished'. We then were still waist deep in the mire for nearly a quarter century more.
yeah that only works of you manage to get away far enough for the hornets to give up...thats a tactic that works on those hornets there because they are small and the jungle there is large...doesnt work on people nowadays because the planet isnt large enough...
You may not me stung, but you don’t get any food/fuel. The hornets are now blocking the strait of Hormuz and all you neighbours suffer. They are now pissed because you didn’t tell them that you wanted to attack the hornets and they couldn’t prepare. Now you want them to come in and get stung.
Well... you could have perfect armour against hornets... but I can guarantee you won't take that shit off until the hornets have packed up and gone home... pretty warm in there innit.
Why wpuld they? Military is populated by degenerates who want nothing more than to go overseas to rape and murder brown people without consequences, as they have done for decades.
As a civilian who has gotten to participate in some military overwatch, that has not been my experience. For every Lynndie England, there's are countless ones who make the right decision, even at personal cost. At least during Trump I, I felt confident about our military's leadership.
Tough call. Bottom probability: 85% chance of civil war? The military is just as divided as the rest of us. So when a group of the commanders say: "You know what? Fuck this fascists, we aint going." A bunch of OTHER commanders are gonna have some strong opinions.....and weapons....and that snowballs made of dog shit that smells like civil war. Trained, reliable military makes that decision when it has to with its OWN population, not a foreign one.
Any person participating in, and supporting the fascist regime, is a fascist. Not sorry to tell the truth at all. The point of no return has passed. We are underneath an illegitimate and hostile, un-American regime, actively harming the American people and their allies. Anyone doing the work of this regime is guilty.
Uh......what? Thats a pretty naive split........the military splits like to rest of the nation in ideology if it doesnt flat out favor conservatives......liberals aren't flocking to M16s and the possibility of entering armed conflict. You have to acknowledge the mentality that leads to enlistment largely favors a RED vote.......your numbers are garbage......you cant cite a single reliable source to support them and it doesnt explain why the GOP has control of every branch of government......

Most important questions aren't even being asked - like where is the congressional approval for this war, and why did it even start.

They spend a thousand so we spend a billion. Pretty soon you're talking real money.

Precisely. Now we’re in a war being prosecuted by the dumbest incompetent fucks to ever conduct warfare.

The spine was there, Trump removed it. It's that easy. The ones who would've told him off were gotten rid of.

That's not true at all. Saying things like that just muddies the water and does more damage to the argument for any sort of reform.

He and Kegsbreath have spent the past year doing their damndest to remove all the officers who had a spine.
