@ProjectLiberal comparing famine due to mismanagement or even the violence born out of the cultural revolution to the holocaust (or claiming it’s worse) is holocaust revisionism. idgaf if you take my joke about never disrespecting mao seriously or not, you need to recollect your thoughts.
Lying about the BILLIONS being spent on this war.
Refusing to disclose information on strikes or the lethal damage they have inflicted.
Just another example of how “the most transparent administration in history” is hiding the true cost of Trump's illegal war of choice.
The Pentagon withheld the fact that dozens of US soldiers were injured by Iran over the last ten days.
In the week leading up to the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two U.S. soldiers, Iran carried out three other strikes that injured dozens of US service members, according to the NYT.
Overall, more than 400 U.S. service members have been injured in the Iran conflict, according to Central Command.
But Central Command is not required to release information about injured troops, especially when they quickly return to duty, a military official says.

A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.
What the evidence shows:
Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.
Built to fail:
The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.
Accountability buried:
Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.
My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.
The is the best, most honest, and wholly realistic advice he could’ve given. If anyone successful tells you anything else they’re lying. I’ve held a similar opinion for years, and have felt looked down on for having it. So the guy at the top saying it too? it’s very gratifying.
Hitler killed 40-55 million on purpose, the policies of the CCP killed 30-45 million through accidental mismanagement and natural disasters. Every anti communist resorts to Nazi propaganda like clockwork
This is a misquotation, in the clip he says he would never make fun of Mao Zedong, not that he would never criticize him. He criticizes Mao within the clip.
