War with...Iran?

[Matisaro]

Highly effective at what, exactly? What has Trump accomplished?

Destroying the future of the USA.

The military build up near Iran is... At least worrying? It seems that the US might be closer to an actual war than I had previously realized. The amount of assets the US has moved into the region is staggering (more details in the linked piece).

But the worrying part is that sources from the administration talk about a larger conflict: not a single strike, but rather a campaign aimed at crippling the nuclear program, the missile program and regime change might be on the table.

But I was told that several hundred million dollar strike we did for our bosses in the Israeli government put an end to their nuclear program entirely????!

I don't think terrorists is the right word for a military force responding to attacks on its ally.

Agree, more aptly applied to the IDF than those mentioned here.

 

[Matisaro]

So you're one of the conspiracy theorists claiming the US doesn't have agency?

This is quite a dishonest overly dismissive retort imho.

The US is doing this for Israel because our leaders are evil, we are in this mess because Israel demanded we follow them down this path and our evil leaders said no problem.
Both governments share full blame for eachothers strikes just like Japan, Italy and Germany do for ww2.

I think trump likes how Putin runs his country but accusing him of being a russian agent is pure BlueAnon

He literally has been launding money for them willingly since the 90's. This bullshit everything is a conspiracy theory so we can mock those who believe it is pure bullshitanounced.'

you better got some ass in that drivers seat and confirm that "yes indeed, these pollution laws are worth the expense".

Why are we not asking the polluters to justify their right to damage our shared environment at our expense for their profit?

 

[Matisaro]

You have no proof for any of this. As far as I can tell it was the other way around (just like Trump forced 3 bad ceasefire agreements on the coward Netanyahu last year, all 3 of which started unraveling long before this war, because he lost interest), and you are engaging in the same distortion of a fact with your newspeak.

Yep and Likud is days away from having 0 seats according to the right polls lol.

 

[Matisaro]

To be even clearer, I meant as an actual state, not as the genocidal ethnostate it is.

It still baffles me that the reaction from a people being persecuted for their ethnicity and/or religion was "let's all get together somewhere and do the same shit to someone else". Yes, yes, I know that they had to fight for their existence, but at what point in this ghetto => concentration camp => extermination cycle do any of them look in the mirror?

Hurt peoples hurt peoples.

 

[Matisaro]

Yeah, nah. That's not a valid excuse, although I don't think you necessarily intended it as a blanket excuse.

No, tongue in cheek pop psychology humor. It is not an excuse just a common outcome of cultural trauma.

 

[Matisaro]

I think you mean around 150. Turns out, "casualty" isn't short for dead, and war injuries can be life altering.

Not to mention the fact the Trump admin has openly lied to us on many things and are almost certainly cooking the economic numbers means these casualty reports are likely being reduced for political reasons.
