It's been real real hard to adjust to having non-incompetent leadership again.

Trump wants to win. Makes the rules of engagement real simple. Kick the shit out of our enemies until they bleed. No hearts and minds bullshit.

This was apparent when we blackbagged Maduro:

Indeed.

It was to millennials what Vietnam was to boomers.

I've had that impression for a while

Two 20 year conflicts back to back can get you jaded on foreign conflicts. The overnight success of the Venezuelan operation really shocked me.

That's what happens when you have someone in that let's the military do its thing and doesn't micromanage. It's great

I know it's BRICS News, but China is telling Iran to stop shooting missiles at everything that moves in the Strait of Hormuz
So much for the sino-persian alliance crushing America

Of course lol, China doesn't want that trade route to be closed. It ruins them too.

We’re going to have to nuke France too, apparently

Christ, take a chill pill.

The two ministers agreed on the need to work towards de-escalation, in conjunction with the Gulf countries, and find a path to a political resolution guaranteeing collective security interests and provision for the Iranian people’s aspirations, in the framework set by UN Secretary-General resolutions and international law.

It's just the sort of diplomatic pleasantries you issue after a phone call to make it sound like you're doing something when you're doing nothing.

Linebacker III when?

worked on the NVA, and they were a much better fighting force than the IRGC...

It is also beyond demoralizing to be at their mercy once the B-52s start their work as it means total air superiority has been achieved by the US and there is no longer any significant threat from ground to air defenses to stop them as they lumber overhead. If anything good comes of all of this I hope its that these 70 year old analog beasts get to flex their muscles again.

No, Matt Walsh is literally a weather vane. He uses social media analytics to determine his position. So does Megyn Kelly, etc, because they’re about maximizing their income.

That’s why sometimes some special sponsorship comes through and their character becomes unrecognizable

@Blindeye for me it was militant zoroastrians

But conservatives clearly support this attacks on Iran?

Given that Megyn Kelly appearantly got a lot of pushback because of her claims, it seems like even xitter conservatives support this?

Gas prices where I am are up like 50 cents from when the war started. So much for muh affordability, Israel is more important.

 

[Fount of BadSpeak]

It is insane that Trump can promise to not do regime change or warfare as a campaign promise, then he does it twice in the span of a couple of months and everyone gobbles it up with glee. This guy can just openly violate his own promises to adulation and cheers, it's truly wild. Hey, at least Israel got to order around their best goy Zion Don to slaughter their enemies yet again; I have been assured by every boomerconservative that fighting Israel's wars for them is the only way to keep America safe.

I wonder if Trump's administration will approve a fuckload of Iranian "refugees" like the nation has done in the past with Iraqis, Afghanis, Somalians, etc. Seems like regardless of whether it's an R or a D, after we bomb a worthless shitskin shithole, we immediately import millions of them into the nation for "some" reason. At the very least, I would like if this time is an exception to that rule, but I guess we will see. As far as I know, we didn't import infinity Venezuelans after Maduro, but we also didn't remove the infinity Venezuelans that we were already flooded with, so that's basically a wash in my view.

Israel just blew up the 88 senior citizens of Iran while they were meeting to vote

Why does Israel hate old people?

Is there perhaps context that you have left out in both scenarios?

No, because outrage is a drug. There is a dopamine hit that physically feels good when you act outraged and feel righteous in your convictions. It's why there's always an audience for riots, even attracting those that don't even care about the riot's cause. In the case of Trump, mass media exploits this, and feeds a steady drip-feed of "Orange Man Bad!" content to keep these people addicted to the newest story after story after story about how Trump is ending the world (only for the world to never change in any meaningful way) as to keep getting clicks and viewership on their businesses supported by viewership (ads).

In essence, TDS sufferers are heroin addicts covered in needle tracks, except the syringe is reddit, the heroin is the New York Times, and the needle tracks are "In This House We Believe" signs in their front yard.

That's why they couldn't shut up about Trump during Biden administration. Makes me wonder what are they gonna do after 2029 once hes long out of office.

I’m not ready to use a yougov poll that forces you to download a pdf to disclose the sample size as an anchor to build my worldview around

The similar ipsos poll was published with a sample size of like 1300

Christ, take a chill pill.

I remember the 444 days of 1979-81. I remember being pissed off at the so-called "student militants"—students looking a wee bit older than typical students in America—holding our people. Moreover,

Spoiler: PLing but fuck it

one of my best childhood friends lost a brother in that ill-advised, not-at-all thought out botched rescue attempt.

I was definitely rooting for Iraq in Saddam's war against Khomeini. Natürlich, the Arabs couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

All that is to say that I'm willing to set my general position  against foreign military adventurism aside—and acknowledge that yes, I am doing so—if I can see the end of the Islamic regime. Fuck them all and their pedo prophet they rode in on.

That is all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1300 is a pretty normal sample size for any poll. According to the poll, only 4% of conservatives strongly disapprove of this strike.

In response to the Islamic terrorist attack in Austin, 70 Texas state legislators are calling for a total ban on H-1Bs:

A good thing, but is it too late for Tex-istan?

 

[deleuzeon]

Have they announced the draft yet? It's been half a week and many accounts promised I'd be getting drafted to die for Israel but instead it seems that nothing is happening. Where draft?

 

[Potion_Time]

"We should never do anything unless there's an IMMEDIATE benefit, if it would take longer than two weeks or has any degree of uncertainty to it we should just kill ourselves instead!"

I try not to reply to you but this is exceptionally retarded even for you, this Iran thing really brought out the worst in our doomniggers for some reason

And when the US sees no benefit a year from now as it so no benefit from Iraq and Afghanistan? There's no winning or getting through to you people so just hit ignore if you don't like somebody explaining to you in basic kid friendly terms that this war isn't different than the last war, you just like Trump and trust literally everything he says or does because you've long since given up the basic human ability of simple discernment.
