“We haven’t won in Iran yet because we’ve been holding back on our most effective strategy: crimes against humanity”
as if the very first target of the war wasn’t a girl’s school
We wanted to show them that we are not so different, us and them. Maybe some other time, maybe some other place… we’all always have Radda.
Yeah, there’s a lot of competing internal inconsistencies.
And they gleefully committed crimes against humanity in Vietnam and still left in defeat. They’ve been coping ever since with the “we would win if we nuked them all” option, as if the US is impervious to missiles itself.
We haven’t even begun to commit sex crimes, are you stupid?
boots in the ground
That typo indeed carries more truth than the rest of these posts
two months to topple the Taliban
checks notes hmm let’s see who’s in power in Afghanistan again
They were famously in Afghanistan for 20 years and the Taliban are in power? Did we jump dimensions or something? What are they referring to lmao
“Don’t siege Tehran, just take it”
We usually destroy all major infrastructure and power plants after we take out the military targets.
We place tremendous value on the lives of our troops
Americans had a multiyear breakdown over having to wear a mask, they will not be able to handle the war economy going berserk requires.
The pretty minimal social reorganizating we did for covid felt great, if we weren’t going to be on the wrong side of WWIII, I’d almost be looking forward to seeing the entire economy mobilized.
Joke’s on
. Even if this shithole was in ww3 under the new axis, porky would rather die than have more workers.War economies are bad, actually.
You can enjoy bad things.
This is what I say every time I explain to someone that I unironically liked Shadow the Hedgehog
I see no, hear no evil, Black writings on the wall
Unleashed a million faces, And one by one they fall
“Shadow….it’s me! The devil!”
You know, from bible!
(genuine) I’ll give it to ya, you got me there.
Common fascist rhetoric, the only thing they need to do to win a war is triumph their will harder and kill more civilians, if they are losing a war you should be grateful that they’re choosing to be merciful by only targeting the civilians outside of the range of enemy air defences.
My wife pointed out an amazing contradiction in the American hegemony. Our entire mythic past is built up on the idea of tiny rebels going up against the big overseas tyrannical, overreaching government. We were able to beat them because we had the home field advantage.
But those insert colonist slur of choosing can’t possibly beat the might of the mighty American government as it reaches across the ocean in it’s might and smashes all these puny tiny groups in it’s path. What’s a tunnel?
The mythic American past is also about how the the supposedly superior whites took the land from the natives. It’s just that, again. It’s a belief that our foes are technologically and culturally inferior and thus can’t actually resist in a meaningful way. Also there’s something to be said about how Americans will still claim to this day that we actually won in both Korea and Vietnam because we had higher kill counts than they did.

When the empire finally, actually collapses, it will break so many Americans’ brains. I don’t think they’ll be able to process it
Much like how the end of the (Western) Roman empire wasn’t just one big event, you had people believing for generations that they were still living in “the empire” long after it had any ability to administrate or maintain any territory. We’ll see the same with the US I think. Their central government will be non existent and the territory will be split up into successor states, but a lot of people will still think that the USA exists.
I fear they will react to that by initiating a nuclear apocalypse.
Fair enough.
you dont understand, we chose to lose those wars
Enormous value on the lives of their troops??
Okay, whatever you need to believe to keep feeding your babies to the imperialism machine I guess.
Imagine seeing all the living veterans with untreated PTSD, physical disabilities, and all sorts of other issues and then still believing this shit lol (of course they don’t see them, they’re unhoused or otherwise abandoned). That doesn’t even count the dead ones.
They’re all 100% disposable to
Improvement to armour and battlefield medicine has been a major inconvenience.
could you imagine America actually committing to the WW2-style total war economy that would be needed to defeat a near-peer adversary in 2026? I’m not convinced that the American government currently has the capacity to whip its own capitalist class into necessary shape, although i do think we could probably send out vans of masked men to kidnap draft card holders.
This is exactly how Hegseth and Trump thought before eating shit in Iran. These Yankee chuds have the strategic foresight of a Koala.
Hey that’s not fair!
A Koala has way more insight before it drops down on someone’s head.
USians do not understand yet that the world has changed and the countries that it held such extreme advantages over in the past have closed the gap in a variety of ways. They imagine a world in which they would always hold a giant technology lead.
When clusters of cheap drones can take down your billion dollar planes it kinda changes the game
getting made fun of because I can’t crack an egg properly while baking
Dude if I wanted to I could crush this egg in my hand right now!!!
“We haven’t used nuclear weapons [which would guarantee our own destruction and The End of Treats], so we’re actually fighting this war with our hands tied because we enjoy being publicly humiliated.”
The US also used nuclear weapons in the Algerian War of Independence, paying the French 100% of the cost of that war. Some nukes were “tested” by France in the Algerian desert during that time and people there still have health issues because of that to this day. But the nukes didn’t stop Algeria.
paying the French 100% of the cost of that war
this is the only part that surprises me, how much money was this
I don’t know. All I know is that the French didn’t have the money to hold onto their colonies after WW2 but the US didn’t want to do the dirty work themselves so they got the French to do it in Algeria and Vietnam. To quote an old Star Trek game: “It didn’t work.”
Guys you don’t understand we just have to zerg rush their command center and destroy all their harvesters in order to get that victory condition!
