We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Second verse, same as the first.

It's almost like America is a failed state because Americans are braindead morons who will let you rob them blind as long as you tell them they are part of an extra special freedom team.

Yeah! Don't unsell our stupidity and failures! We've work tirelessly to be proudly ignorant. Stupid intellectuals trying to give us the benefit of the doubt are the real no brian morans!

Saw the multitude of economic indicators and worried for a minute.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is damage control on the the stock market and posturing for his base, Iran doesnt seem to be backing down and the longer this drags out the more certain disaster for the global economy becomes.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 8 points 1 month ago

Probably. The outlook for a long war might pop a bubble that's keeping "his" economy afloat.

My kitchen has been pretty much finished for the last 5 years

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

So it is a war. Which means it is illegal because Congress has not sanctioned it. Arrest the criminal fucker.

‘Very Complete, Pretty Much’ Almost nowhere near? Definitely almost? Precisely in general?

[–] j2k4@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Sounds like my colleague's progress report this morning.

Concepts of completion

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

"A concept of a plan of an exit strategy."

[–] jjpamsterdam@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

And here I was thinking that it takes one side to start a war but two to stop it. The US seems to be in a no win scenario. Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory, or they commit to a ground campaign, which is Afghanistan all over again but much bigger in scope.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Yeh, the US opened Pandora's box here. You can't just close it again.

Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory,

That was the greatest victory US ever had. We won, and we won bigly. Iran leader was begging me not to kill him. Iranian children were hiding like dogs. Some people say we didn't win but they are traitors and communists.

just another two week project gone awry

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

And we still don't even have a declared goal for this war. Uhm... Besides all the bullshit religious rhetoric, of course.

[–] Bopolny@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Trump will end the war, claim success and oil will be below $60 by summer. Announcement coming this week

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Translation: his attention span has been exceeded, so he'll stand in front of a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, then move on to the next distraction while the war drags on.

[–] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

The good news and the bad news is this doesn't indicate the war is over.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 month ago

Israel go to kill some children and invade Lebanon. They used this fool to gain couple of smaller and bigger wins again. Nothing else matters here.

[–] nert@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So they failed in pulling in Iran’s neighbors to fight for them and now it’s over.
