As per tradition, the US will sign an agreement with Iran, leaving the region with more instability, the US with less advantage, and having spent billions of dollars and, of course, the lives of US servicemembers, not to mention untold civilian lives.

At home, Americans have effectively lost economic power through war inflation, while billionaires have consolidated more wealth.

In short, a typical war.

@mcnado Don’t forget the profits of insider trading! Oil folk made a killing, both literally and figuratively.

@mcnado and the US Military is even less feared than before

@MikeImBack @mcnado I don't know.

I'm especially worried since the service people have proven they don't really care about the war crimes they've been asked to commit, and are happy to act like thugs and pirates?

That's double scary.

@mcnado @PatrickoftheG that's always been the case though. But when was the last time America won a war? Iran hit them especially hard, costing billions of dollars to take out thousands of dollars worth of drones, upended the worlds energy market, destroyed the mirage of US security for other countries, proved America is no where near ready for more than a few week's war, and every war now causes more and more war wariness back home. That's a lot of fuckups

@mcnado I'll say it before and I will say it again:

The last war that *needed* to be fought was WWII.

Everything else has been a justification to use a portion of the extreme budget the DoD gets.

@mcnado and that agreement will last until... Oops sorry I dropped it in the fireplace... I guess more war and death is the only option

It's not the destination, it's the journey and the friends we made along the way.

Well obviously - quarterly profits and stock options for the execs are "the journey".

@mcnado when we came back from the Strait of Iran

We didn't have the strength of America again

We got a weak agreement that'll get a fine harangue

Trump ain't a fuckin he-ero.

And in the rest of the world even more people are realising that Americans are not, and never have been as Democratic, or as powerful as they were led to believe ...

And the laughter Americans may hear is not amusement, it's sardonic ...
