This might be those weeks where decades happen. So many possibilities. It’ll be exciting to see what happens, from a distance.

honestly, can’t believe that an Iran-US war is becoming an Iranian victory, with most of the US supporting Iran.

US was always a paper tiger. the military isn’t designed for any sort of war, but designed to funnel public funds to military shareholders’s pockets.

Idk, it’s possible our military just always sucked but Im more inclined to believe it’s just ineffective because the people running it are absolute braindead clowns.

both. it was designed to be a money sink. that’s why it’s budget is greater than basically all the rest of the world military, but lost a 20+ year war against some of the poorest peoples in the world.

It is incredibly effective against civilians though

For all the American hate against socialism, the military is our biggest jobs program.
