Operation Epic Fail

danc4498@lemmy.world on 31 Mar 11:33 next collapse

Mission fuck shit up was an epic success. As was every other US mission in the Middle East. Could you imagine a Middle East without USA’s involvement?

DagwoodIII@piefed.social on 31 Mar 11:57 collapse

Russia first attacked Iran during the reign of Peter the Great.

The Ottoman Empire was also a thing.

I’m sure that there’d be absolutely no interference in the Middle East if there was no america.

danc4498@lemmy.world on 31 Mar 13:34 collapse

True. USA didn’t create the country of Israel either and grant them their authority either.

It just seems like the last 40 years have been mostly USA fucking shit up.

DagwoodIII@piefed.social on 31 Mar 13:58 collapse

So, you’re saying the USA should step aside and let other people have a go at it?

Turns out the large nation that has been preparing for American invasion for decades have a few plans.

To the surprise of literally no one. Every single war game with Iran for the past 50 years has called them mining the Strait of Hormuz, it’s one of the reasons no other leader in the world has taken up Bibi’s offer to invade. To have done so without an immediate plan for capturing the Strait is so retarded it just about makes my brain start to believe in 5D chess.

My pet theory is that Bibi saw that he was about to lose his most obedient pet when Congress flips this fall and decided to cash in early and convince Trump to go in on an invasion. The pretense of this was last summer when AIPAC-affiliated media channels ran 24/7 pieces against every anti-Isreal person on the right, to shore up support (See: The Mossad-linked killing of Charlie Kirk).

It is really not that deep. Trump is a “mad emperor” in an autocratic system. All his ministers know that Trump is literally demented, but they all know that they will pay if they are the first to speak up against Trump. There has been examples of this throughout history.

So it is exactly as stupid as it seems. I like the term “100 ELO chess”. Here is Google’s description of 100 ELO chess:

100 Elo chess represents the absolute beginner level on platforms like Chess.com, often characterized by frequent, accidental hanging of pieces (leaving them undefended), missing basic one-move checkmates, and limited opening knowledge.

So, he fucks up the world trade, kills lots of people, plows through a significant amount of ammunition, wastes tons of money, ruins his and other countries economies - and achieves pretty much nothing. Nothing at all.

Yeah, sounds like a classic Trump.

Lodespawn@aussie.zone on 31 Mar 12:17 next collapse

That’s not true, he and his pals got an absolute butt load of insider trading and gambling done …

Rothe@piefed.social on 31 Mar 12:35 next collapse

And then he wants to retreat and leave the mess he created for someone else to straighten out.

This has been every US led invasion since WW2. What was achieved were military contracts to reload.

Korea was half successful I guess…and the first Iraq war.

All of this happened and then he started the war in Iran

WanderingThoughts@europe.pub on 31 Mar 16:00 collapse

He accelerated the switch to renewable energy, electrification of heating, transportation and production, gave good reason to onshore many critical manufacturing and gave a serious boost to adopting open source alternatives to big tech around the globe. It wasn’t his intention of course, but it’s still happening.

All this shit because a few thousand yanks in key states have epistemophobia. Levels of retardation beyond belief, the biggliest retardation the world has ever seen. Never so many have been so impacted by a bunch of absolute morons. Back in the day they’d have been given a wedgie and been hanging off the coat hanger. But no, let’s listen to the idiots with money. Dumb fucks

Honestly I’m not gonna call him a chicken for ending a war that never should have started, the “ending it” is the good part. For starting it to begin with I’ll call him a war hawk, and he’s Israel’s cuck (which is another bird reference, actually), but “chicken” no go ahead and end it don’t let me discourage you.

melsaskca@lemmy.ca on 31 Mar 13:03 next collapse

If he ends the “war” without securing the Strait of Hormuz then that means he lost the war. Trump is both a warmonger and a war-loser. Stick to selling steaks old man rapist.

Almost got hit by the goal posts. It’s my own fault, though, I know how much they tend to move around.
