Donald Trump has once again stepped up his threats to entirely wipe out Iran, but it somehow isn’t forcing Iran to make the deal he wants. The emptiness of the threats is embarrassing enough. But now, CBS News has published a series of extraordinary photographs of American bases and equipment abroad badly damaged by Iranian attacks. These pictures were leaked by anonymous U.S. service-members who did this because the truth about Trump’s war is being suppressed. As one put it: “This is major damage to our ba…
Does anyone support this guy anymore? All the maga dupes in my life have gone silent or are suddenly “ not interested in politics “.
They still support. They just don’t have any quips to say when the economy has so obviously gone bad.
Krasnov’s conception of strength follows Project 2025 and whatever the damn Muscovites want him to do.
The cost of all that - is not soaked up by staff of military, or private firms or by politicians. The costs are passed on to citizens. Every plane down, or fuel burnt is paid for by public money…
It’s wild, man. For like twenty years I was arguing with anyone who would listen that going to war with Iran would be a really shitty idea. And yet I’m not very satisfied to have been proven right.
The AI safety talk this week is meant from distracting from both the failure in Iran, and inaction in resolving (just leave in great victory mission accomplished speech). Simultaneously lowers Bond villain AI as a divisive midterm issue, even when GOP calls them “the same woke left who warned against global warming and covid” is not necessarily a winning mid term strategy for GOP, but may be less bleeding than talking about Iran failure. I still expect “mission accomplished withdrawal” after mid terms. You need collapsing energy and bond prices now to avoid debating Trump/Iran failure.
Even without the leaks, and because it’s trump, everyone already assumes heinous shit is occurring.
What happened, did a bomb hit them mid sentence?
As one put it: “This is major damage to our ba… BOOOM!!
That made me chuckle too. A fine example of unintentional humour.
Ha! The stroke picture!
Is that Kash Patel’s son?
this goes hard!idk why they put a blury picture of an old loser as the articles picture instead of the actual news
Undated photo of plane damaged by Iranian strikes at Prince Sultan AFB, Saudi Arabia
Damaged lol
How many AWACS do the US forces have?
One less now.
We’ll just buy more, what can they cost, like 10 dollars?
How many health cares is this plane?
Yes
The only response we are going to get from the administration is to go after the soldiers who leaked the photos… all the while calling the pics ‘fake news’
It was never supposed to be successful in the first place. Trump and his merry band of criminals already got exactly what they wanted out of this.
He’s on record stating he doesn’t give a shit about what people are going through because of the war, the tarriffs, or any of his schemes designed to line his pockets.
And avoid his degeneracy being truly known. That is his biggest motivator. The “trump/epstein” brand is here to stay. We just need to put out all of his deflecting fires beforehand.
The war just needs to last until the midterms
This war isn’t going away for years. The empire won’t admit they lost, they won’t double down, and they can’t destroy Iran as is.
I suspect the plan is for the war to disappear after the midterms. Whether Iran will agree to this is something completely different.
I mean, what little plan there was seemed to honestly think they’d get Venezuela pt 2.
Instead, they’ve now lost the Middle East, and all the data I’m seeing seems to suggest Iran is as strong militarily as when they started, while the US has destroyed years of production and shown the world it’s a paper tiger with gold plated betamax machines.
Considering how much the US makes selling arms overseas, that’s a business problem as well as a military one now.
The price of Russian oil is all that really matters. It doesn’t look like it’s going to even help them though. That and getting the Abraham Lincoln away from the Baltic.
The extremely non strategic retreat from the Middle East is kind of wild though. I’d have thought Trump was the very definition of blood for oil.
It does seem like they’ve gotten away with six months more than they expected to.
he just won’t pay American blood for oil. Iranian kids, no problem.
A mostly complacent media not willing to ask tough questions is part of the problem of why we don’t hear about this stuff as much as we should be.
The media isn’t complacent, it is cowed / controlled by Trump supporting billionaires. To call them merely complacent is flattery.
imagine raising a kid for 18 years only to have him/her go overseas and get blown up in the most pointless bullshit war in history. for the purpose of making a whiny weak loser con man reality tv failure look like he’s tough
Sounds like they raised a stupid kid
Also to distract from the discussion about how he molested children.
Didn’t that discussion happen already and nobody cared?
the notion that “nobody cared” is definitely the message that mainstream media is pushing (successfully, it seems in your case), because the people who own the media also don’t want anyone getting paying attention to the epstein files
Not sure about the minors part, but 79 million americans voted for an adjudicated rapist. It would be weird to assume those people would suddenly have qualms just because some of his victims were minors.
when you’re rich they just let you do it or something like that
To me, donnie was always just a washed-up never-was with a big mouth. A rapey and racist failson. And that’s before he was given that reality TV show.
He’s only devolved since.
Trump was washed up in the 80s and the butt of jokes. Bloom County roasted him for a year, transplanting his brain into a cocaine addicted cat.
Oh shit that was supposed to be Trump? I was a kid when I read those comics and didn’t get much of it at all, I thought that the psycho cat was just supposed to be like a Sid Vicious/Dr Gonzo crossover.
He was at first, then there was a whole long thing where Trump got put into Bill The Cat’s body
Hahaha holy shit I need to revisit that comic, I’ll be on Internet Archive all night. Cheers! ACK!
Even worse, Trump’s doing the bidding of a genocidal foreign leader who had been trying to get the US to do this for decades. Trump was the only president ignorant and gullible enough to fall for it
Believe it or not, Israel is the puppet of Amerika’s ruling class, not the other way around. And this isn’t just on Trump. One person, even the president, cannot mobilize the war machine without substantial approval from the capitalists. These wars have all been long-term goals of the ruling class, they just now have a deranged idiot to take the fall for the high costs.
As Biden said, if Isreal did not exist, we would make it exist
And then failing to realize that purpose.
Before finally giving fully into the sunken cost by continuing to support the grifter who sent your child to death.
As pointless bullshit wars go, this one’s pretty mid.
" choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are hard, but because we thought it would be easy"
"We choose to invade Iran in this decade and do the other fascist things, not because they are hard, but LEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY mmmmmmmmmmJJJJJJJEEEENNNNNKKKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!
Don’t intend that as a correction, just more my take of how this shitty administration does shit.
It’s important to remember the mmmmmnn before Jenkins. You did well here.
These are the kind of idiots who think they can win a fight by just wildly swinging their arms in every direction. Meanwhile, the opponent just keeps his distance, takes a few easy swings when there’s an opportunity, and waits for the Idiot to wear himself out. Then the opponent steps in a finishes the job. Or maybe the Idiot just falls down out of sheer exhaustion.
Either way, we’re the Idiot.
With this headline, you could replace “Iran” with “pants”
I clicked to see which leaks we were talking about here
It’s hard to keep track.
