Trump was probably hoping he could get some Iranians to change sides to support him.

    1. Democrats are that first born who got kicked out at 18, and had to take student loans out to get thru college, getting eternally shit on by their dad. While Republicans are like lil bro who hangs out at home until 33, eats all the chips at night, drinks from the carton, and gets an allowance while he’s waiting for “his YouTube thing to take off.”

      I used to believe that the Democrats were somehow a statistical miracle in spinelessness. Schumer and the gang taught me that I had too much faith in people, it’s not spinelessness, its complicity. They will watch the world burn before hurting their donor’s bottom line.

    3. As a military member, this is almost chronic with conservatives in general; they genuinely think that we’re rah-rah unstoppable.

      We’re very powerful, very capable, and very advanced, and rightfully considered the most powerful fighting force in human history.

      But we’re not unstoppable, and we have very real limitations, and, yes, we are very aware of them.

      The problem is that many people, for better or worse, really have this deluded, almost childlike faith in the military to be utterly dominant and unstoppable all the time.

      Everyone with a brain in the military knew this was a bad idea. We knew the plan wasn’t any good.

      The US also just took out Venezuela’s leadership and assumed Iran would be just as easy a target.

    5. Dems election strategy is to bend over with their ass cheeks spread complete with a fresh enema

      You mean Chuck Schumer isn’t the current Shah of Iran?

      Do the Baileys know?!

      The Trump admin’s war effort reminds me of a child learning to play chess. They make moves hoping the enemy will do dumb things that allow the player to just take the enemies pieces instead of having a real strategy.

    8. You know who gets very angry when a victim is resisting? Rapists. It is a part of their MO.

    9. Trump is making the mistake a lot of people make: he thinks wars are won by destroying their stuff and killing their soldiers, when in reality wars are won by breaking their will to fight. That’s the cardinal rule of a war. The loser is the side that loses the will to fight back first, period.

      That’s the problem with Trump’s shield approach with Iran. They have been his punching bag for years, with no matter what they do they get shat on by him. They were complying wit the Iran deal. Solemani got killed without any direct provocation. Trump has multiple times just picked on them and made very clear that their actions have nothing to do with it. Iran complying doesn’t get them peace, Iran surrendering won’t get them peace. So they will resist because the outcome is the same anyway, but this way at least they keep their dignity.

      The Iranian government is also, you know, actually in charge of a government and has been for close to 50 years.

      Democrats haven’t had anything resembling actionable power in over 15.

      But yea let’s just keep shitting on the people whose help we refused at every turn.

    11. You wanna know how to tell if someone serves in the military?

      Ask them if they thought attacking Iran would be easy and or smart.

      If they give you a thoughtful, considered answer that has faith in the unparalleled strength of the USAF, they’ve never served

      If they respond with FUCK no, are you out of your mind?! They’re military.
