@drahardja this confirms that the war is not thoroughly thought out.
@gombang What is this “thought” you speak of
@gombang
I don't think I needed any additional confirmation. It was clear from the onset.
@drahardja
@drahardja Good thing we wasted so much time not replacing fossil fuel infrastructure.
@drahardja Thank you for the very complete alt text. Now everyone can know how fucked we are. 😒
@spiegelmama Knowing is half the battle, or something like that
@drahardja maybe the goal is not iran, but the countries neighboring israel, which has already annexed more of the golan heights and has the perfect excuse for a remake of 1982 and reoccupy southern Lebanon under the guise of self defense. Meanwhile, the west Bank is being also ethnically cleansed, while all eyes are on iran. The Trump dynasty is going to get richer via arms deals and real estate development in occupied territories. I don't see why else they're doing this.
@catbrainz Trump is so stupid, so greedy, so incurious, that I wouldn’t put it past him to do this for no coherent reason at all.
@drahardja @catbrainz When this is all over, if any publishers, journalists, and media consumers survive it, I bet you my basement full of MREs that we will read that Vance and Rubio and Melania and goddam Erika Kirk were all "ZOMG NO SWEET JESUS NO" and then Netanyahu ardently whispered "Mister President, if you make the courageous determination to seize this bold victory, history will forever remember you as the greatest leader of all time" and that was that pew pew pew

@jameshowell So what are the grid coordinates of those MRE's ?

@drahardja @catbrainz

@drahardja since Iran was supplying Russia with drones to use in its invasion of Ukraine I'm wondering what Donald's pal Putin has to say about bombing drone factories
@bkwoolery @drahardja Also one of my first thoughts. However, I think that Russia has already the capability to manufacture Shahed themselves.

@drahardja It was obvious regime change in Iran was not a goal of US-Israel. Trump now confirms this. You can't do regime change from the air (never been done in history), and the only ground troops US wanted to send in were 10,000 Kurds, which is a force the size of 1 Division into a country the size of all Western Europe combined with a geography of the Swiss Alps, that's about as unrealistic as it gets.

Now, Trump finds out there's no off ramp, war is as good as lost already.

@drahardja ”Biggest I-told-you-so in the history of I-told-you-so’s”, as the Qatari foreign minister aptly expressed it.

@drahardja

That's what you get when you put as POTUS a #pedophile #KGB agent (name #Krasnov) famous to be a bad manager, in plus of white supremacist. this ex-future-Peace-Nobel-price-winner is the strongest warmonger US ever had: a new war not each two months yet, but already close, this within just a year. All American citizens are just pieces of meat for him, and non-US peoples just flocks.

This is not Hell yet, this is just the gate.

@drahardja

These are deeply unserious people.

@drahardja The US doesn't really have a plan, but Israel does. Israel wants to fracture Iran to small militias stuck in an endless civil war. That's why they bomb indiscriminately, to cause chaos and division. But even if they don't succeed, they can use this war as cover to steal more land in Lebanon and Palestine as they are doing right now. Even if the US fails completely, just admit defeat and retreat in a few weeks, Israel still wins.
@drahardja Half-arsed is Cheeto's M.O. I will bet that he is already bored. It didn't go as he thought. He'll move on.
@drahardja okay so the US doesn't have clear goals or a plan. But does Israel? Because so far it seems that Israel *does* have a plan: to achieve a disintegration of Iran, Lybia style. And so probably the US will just facilitate that?

@drahardja
They are winging it. Making up plans as they go. Tacking issues as they occur. According to them #Obama made plans and they were a disaster. #Biden made plans and they were mucked up. So the solution, make no plans.

#MowTheLawn, maybe that is the strategy. #MowTheLawn means every few years there will be a repeat of #EpicFury and operation #RoarOfTheLion till rapture occurs and gates of kingdom of heaven open up. The true believers are all then taken to the promised land.
