So, all this disruption for things to stay the same in Iran. With the addition of the strait being closed, soaring prices, supply chains being messed up, among many other side effects.

Can we now call it by its real name: Epic Failure?

Things are not the same. The oil price is much higher and the US’s reputation is even further in the shitter.

Fixed: You lost the minute you let this Pedo get elected, again. I mean seriously: twice.

The previous comment could be read as: they lost when he was elected the first time. Which it’s even more apt.

God damnit! His opponent had a funny laugh! Quit making fun of us!

That implies you’re done losing

 reply

Not really.

I mean, it’s like a football season.

When someone says ‘we lost’ it’s referring to that week.

This week ain’t over yet

Now you’re making my point for me

Just like every other war the USA has been involved in for the past 80 years.

 reply

Technically the last war that America was i n was world war 2. Everything since then hasn’t been a war officially.

True. They’ve managed to out-spend the entire rest of the world militarily while not fighting any “wars” and still lose at every sneaky evil thing they send their military to do, despite murdering 60+ innocent civilians for every soldier they lose.

So maxed out spending, 60:1 K/D ratio, no wars, still lost every fight.

They’re trying to cheat the 60-days limit for use of force without congressional authorization. Nothing else has changed.

OP

Does anyone actually knows what the objective was?

 reply

The objective(s):

  • Open the Straight of Hormuz and revert it to its previous state of “open”
  • Kill the ayatollah at the request of Israel
  • Give Israel cover to expand their genocide to Lebanon
  • Get the US media to stop talking about Epstein and the fact the president is a pedophile
  • Get the US media to stop talking about how ICE is terrorizing and killing Americans and Immigrants
  • Boost Trumps poll numbers by stating a war in the Middle East that no one wanted and that he campaigned against.
  • Raise gas prices so oil companies can make a ton of money while the average citizen eats the cost.
  • Give Pete Hegseth a hard on from all the murder he gets to order
  • Make Trump feel like a big strong “war president”

  • “Which Epstein files?”

also to distract from getting replaced by TODD blanche as the AG.

For Israel to annex southern Lebanon and to distract from the Epstein files.

They’re probably planning to take all of Lebanon. See the map of greater Israel from Epstein’s home

Unrelated, but that photo looks like they’re in some evangelical church waving their hands in the air, praising Jesus, while Oral Hobbits up there works them into a frenzy.
