[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s astonishing the mental gymnastics Republicans are doing to convince themselves that this war is turning out in our favor.

Did this war bring about regime change in Iran? No.

Did the Iranian people rise up, free themselves of the shackles of oppression, and take back their government? No.

Did this war ensure that Iran never acquires nuclear weapons? No.

Did this war destroy Iran’s missile and drone programs? No.

Did this war sever Iran’s support of militant proxies in the region  No.

Did this war secure additional regional support for normalized relations with Israel? No.

Is Israel more safe and secure than it was six months ago? No.

In addition to the COST (measured in tens of billions, if not more, and worse - loss of American lives) and the abject failures listed above, we have also brought about two devastating developments:

1. Our relationships with strategic partners in the Gulf region have been degraded to the point where our ongoing presence in the region is at the most uncertain level it’s been in several decades … the illusion they had that a U.S. presence in their midst would protect them from the risk of Iranian hostilities has been completely shattered.

And as far as I’m concerned, this next point is the scariest development …

2. The Iranian regime no longer fears us - they haven’t hesitated AT ALL to stand toe-to-toe (with a military budget that’s probably less than 5% of ours) and punch back the past few weeks. That fact should horrify all Americans. They no longer believe we’re invincible, that the only recourse they have when we attack them (or enable Israel to attack them) is to send a half-hearted missile fusillade into an empty field in one of our regional Gulf allies, but only after diplomatically letting us know beforehand to ensure no harm is caused.

They now know that they can fight back. That THAT is an option. And that we will back off.

What a disaster. This is yet another sign of an empire in grave decline. And I wish I could just blame Republicans and the MAGA movement, but the truth is that this acceleration in the collapse of American has been brought to us via the Zionist corruption of our government.

Choosing between one party that’s 94% unacceptable (personification: Lindsey Graham) and the other party that’s 81% unacceptable (personification: John Fetterman) is the kind of nightmare choice I never thought I’d have to make …[/quote]

Nobody fears us and nobody needs us. It’s actually a great development. Let’s stop focusing on the never ending wars in the Middle East  and focus inward. Israel can fight all their neighbors for all we care. God has their back. That’s what they say right? They don’t need America.

We can focus on our own problems [/quote]
