Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
@elonmusk Our tax dollars do not pay for our government to run. Here is how it actually works:
1. Government orders Fed. Reserve to “print money”.
2. Government issues treasury bonds and sells them to the Fed. Res.
3. Gov. spends the money.
4. Rinse
5. Repeat
