The simple explanation is that the US/Israel lost a war, badly.

[TrueAnon @TrueAnonPod]

@kampeas Yeah could you imagine if the Nazis elevated a racist terrorist to the supreme head of law enforcement and he ordered his equally racist subordinates to ignore pogroms and violence?

every time I see a clip from Israeli television it seems like what Third Reich state propaganda would have looked like in the age of cable news

The Israeli government is addicted to mass murder

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

imagine if prominent democrats were saying these objectively true statements for the last couple of years especially after israel goaded this dipshit admin into waging war w iran that we lost. imagine how much more credibility the dems would have at this moment?

instead, they offered silly process criticisms while legitimizing the false rationale for waging war, actively tried to deplatform their antizionist left flank, and now maga will get to abdicate responsibility for its fuckups and dump it on israel while the dems shit on the mou.

In order to believe the war was an “operational success” but strategic failure you have to take seriously Trump’s claims that he sunk the Iranian navy or whatever.

Let’s be serious: Operationally, in reality, Iran destroyed our bases and drove away our aircraft carrier groups. They scared our troops into hotels. They closed the strait by force. We never succeeded in stopping them from firing missiles. Our planes and helicopters and MQ9s were downed.

An F5 got through our air defenses and lit up our Kuwaiti base; our allies responded by accidentally shooting down 3 of our planes.

In the past, it would take a Soviet level of direct censorship to get the press to describe that as operational success.

I haven’t seen a beltway meltdown like this since Biden pulled out of Afghanistan. Both are correct, both avoid sunk-cost fallacy and both are simply acknowledging objective reality rather than engaging in the blob’s preferred delusion of open-ended hostility and war profiteering

@vk_souls this shit look like Bakersfield!!

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

The mainstream freakout over the "bad deal" misses the crucial point: it was a bad war, which the US/Israel decisively lost. The so called bad deal is a byproduct of that loss. You have to reckon with the fact it was a bad war and a lost war or your analysis is garbage.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

main problem with the Dem response is that it reinforces the premise Iran is ontologically evil and its our primary goal to "constrain" and disarm them and the debate is over which party does this most competently. This is blinkered and sets up the logic of future hostilities.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Don’t forget what is an equally consequential result: we exposed to the world that our military is good for a few weeks and that’s about it. We cannot win a war of attrition with $100 million weapon systems falling out of the sky constantly.

And our aircraft carrier groups can’t hang.

The 4th largest company in the world. It doesn't produce anything. It doesn't make money. It has no plans to make money. It wouldn't even have stayed afloat if not for taxpayer dollars. I mean y'all cannot be serious rn

Parents REALLY don't like hearing this sort of thing is inherently their own fault. If you give a 5 year old a tablet, it is crack to them. the best way to fix something like this is not to give the child a tablet at all.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

You say you'd kill baby Hitler, and yet you root against Sebulba. Interesting.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

It's amazing how profoundly ignorant of basic WWII history many US residents are, thanks largely to the Cold War.
