The tweet is cut, so it isn't making a point yet, just a comparison in kills, and people's imaginations seem to have taken the OOP for a typical chauvinist.

Now, the actual point is shit, but not because they're some kind of democrat, but because the analysis is simply mistaken. I'd call that an ultra

Copying the first two tweets:

the US and Israel killed Ali Khamenei the Supreme Leader along with many other leading political and military leaders, and at least 3500 babies, children, women and men. In return Iran appears to have killed around 50 irrelevant Israelis and Americans. [Note: End of OOP post] Even if you assume they are hiding many losses, it's likely not more than 100 or so irrelevants. In terms of the material damage there is a similar imbalance especially considering the place Iran started from given the decades of economic terror siege, and the closing of the Strait was at the point of beginning to inflict major damage.

If you think this was enough to establish deterrence and prevent the war from being restarted again soon, just ask yourself the very simple question: Would any rational person not happily take that exchange ratio over and over and over again?

You kill a few dozen [redacted, CW: Epstein]-settlers, and in exchange I kill your Supreme leader and thousands of others? They will always take that exchange without a moment's hesitation.

Iranian MP Sayyid Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said shortly before the latest phase of the Israeli-US-Epstein regime's war on Iran how many they believe they have to take out to successfully establish deterrence, and he said 3 to 4K US troops. And that's right. Either that, or you impose equivalent material pain through keeping the Strait closed. That's an exchange they will make sure to never repeat.

But now, why would they not just use the two weeks to find the targets in the leadership they want to kill again, restock and replenish and get assets in place, and restart again in two weeks after another round of Barak Ravid Witkoff Kushner Mossad jerk off sessions for the media?

After all, if you kill a Supreme Leader they'll just get a ceasefire out of you within 40 days at the most, who cares, that's nothing.

Is squirrel saying America won because it killed more people??

[โ€“] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 1 points 2 minutes ago

Sort of, they appear to be claiming that the US will absolutely consider itself the victor in this scenario and do this again and again if it has the choice

The damage Iran did to the us extends far beyond individual deaths. If this plays out like it's looking like it will, historians will look at this moment as one of the defining moments of the collapse of the us empire.

I followed the squirrel during the early days of the genocide because they provide some real cathartic blind anger that reflected what I was feeling. The thing is, I still feel a deep rage and resentment towards the US-israel coalition, but nowadays I'm clear-headed and informed enough to have a better understanding of the greater dynamics at play, and now I think their doomerism is actively poisonous and detrimental. Yes, I would love to see the entire upper echelon of the israeli government get blown up by Shaheds, but it's not a necessary condition for Iran to win. The squirrel needs to go hide some nuts because that means they'll touch grass on the way there.

Some people confuse clinical depression with political agitation

Boiling down war to a K:D ratio, which famously worked very well in Vietnam

This doesnt really hold because all americans are irrelevant.

Yeah I can see why people don't like this squirrel now lol

[โ€“] SickSemper@hexbear.net 24 points 7 hours ago

Learning about the squirrel and then learning why people hate the squirrel in 1 day is probably ideal
