What's the point moron? No one with an IQ over 70 thinks that the Iranians have a superior military. Any cheering about military "wins" is like cheering for the Harlem Globetrotters beating the Washington Generals as winning an NBA championship. The US should win. They should be able to sink ships. People cheering as if this is a surprise are morons. It's one thing to be able to dunk on someone. It's another to do it for no reason and then gloat as if it's an achievement. However... China, Korea, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan. That superior firepower literally was useless. All it did was kill millions of civilians and 100s of thousands of American soldiers. Every single time the outcome was a loss. Except for Korea, which has technically been at war for over 75 years now. |
Success (at this point) = regime deposed, minimal civilian casualties or US military casualties, and a stable regime pit in place that allows the people of Iran the freedom, dignity and prosperity they deserve. You disagree? |
Can I also get a unicorn? |
Post your address and I'll mail you a Hitachi Magicwand. |
Awww, a cooler-than-thou cynic. Cute, but inapposite. I don’t think this will happen, but I certainly hope it does. You? Whose side are you on, exactly? |
DP...the bigger point is...do you actually think it will turn out like this? |
Correct. See also Cubans in Miami. |
Now tell me how often has a ‘stable regime’ that affords its civilians freedom, dignity and prosperity been put in place after another country has deposed of the previous regime. |
True. And what cowards to tell a bunch of Iranians to go die fighting for a war that the US doesn't even intend on actually winning. This was supposed to be a quick Venezuela-style "win" to make an attempt to claim some achievement before the March primaries. Unfortunately for Chump, it's probably going to be pretty bad at the polls for the AIPAC/Chump candidates. The question is, will the markets tank tomorrow? And will gas prices spike in two days before the polls open? |
I was the original diaspora commenter - I respect their feelings. I’m also glad Khameini is dead. Just don’t expect me to take those videos as proof that everyone is dancing in the streets and pro Trump. |
No. I’ve consistently said that I oppose this action (bc Trump, bc long term risks, bc Constitution, etc.). But it’s done. And I find it revolting that people here are actually rooting for failure, which would be bad for both the US and the Iranian people. Also politically unwise, since if the average American independent read half the crap on here, they’d pick up their pitchforks and torches. They might not like Trump, but they hate traitors more. Lack of decency and patriotism is the cancer of the far left and it’s on full display in this thread. |
It ahs been barely 24 hours. There is no winning or losing at this juncture. |
|
A handful. But that’s not my point: I don’t think this is likely to succeed, but I hope it does. Most of the nutters here agree on the first part, but actually hope that this fails. That’s fundamentally unpatriotic, evil, and politically suicidal. So gross. |
No one is "rooting for failure" - but let's be real, we saw what happened in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. It isn't realistic to suggest lobbing a few bombs and taking out the head, when there are millions of troops and leadership ready to carry the mantle, is going to get the job done. And we know this administration is totally inept, ergo... |
