Most expensive military in the world, 50x military budget of your enemy

Advantageous position of a surprise backstabbing attack during negotiations

Kills enemy head of state on the first day in his own house

Commits uncountable war crimes

Still loses in just 3 weeks

It takes a special breed of a fucked up system to suck this bad, they can't even do imperialist forever wars now.

The MIC is redirecting every cent it can toward profits, and so there's nothing left for the actual military hardware. The pedophiles in charge can barely think anymore and are high on their own AI-generated propaganda. Truly the century of ~~humiliation~~ hallucination for the USA

Fuck 'em. Trump has lived his entire existence on bail outs. Most US (younger) citizens also feel like the US need to be allowed to struggle to allow a reset from the two only political options to something that is a voice and choice.

What did I miss? What did they do now?

US Empire is doing very poorly at accomplishing their goals in Iran, while Iran has been dealing serious damage to US Imperial infrastructure in the Middle East.

They had goals besides" big boom makes me big man" ?

Regime change was a big one, but that can't work without boots on the ground at a minimum.

Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.

Americans let one man bring them down because he fooled them into thinking he was the american dream.

Its not one man. Just look at the Epstein class. It never was about voting the right people, it was always about managing the class conflict.

Trump just didn't magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that's the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he'll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.

You make it sound so simple. Nice.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

He gave a well based answer to your simplistic and faulty statement

We had to wait a few months for Iraq to turn into a disaster. Trump is the fastest war president ever.

A trillion a year, whole economy based on neverending warfare and that's the best they can do?

Missing from the meme is DJT asking Dada Xi for help.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 16 points 14 hours ago

I'm getting second hand embarrassment watching him beg Xi to fix his mess.

They've made some incredibly and impressively stupid strategic errors even leaving aside poor preparation and the stupidity of attacking iran. That's what happens when you put bootlickers in charge.

Reality hits you hard bro, the time and place you’ll never know

Made me laugh

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Nobody in America but Trump wanted this bs "war"

...but Netanyahu did

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 17 points 15 hours ago

Graham, Bolton, and plenty of other ghouls have been craving this war for decades. They're all jizzing themselves live on cable right now.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 7 points 15 hours ago

Oh honey, have you met any Americans before?
