    Most likely the real reason for the ceasefire. The US needs some time to review its (obviously failed) strategy. Meanwhile Iran was likely pressured into it by the Asian countries who want their oil to flow.

    The Government of Putin is hiding a lot of shit. For starters, a laundry fire that forced a carrier back to port for repairs. The fucking idiots believed in Ben’s story about a regime change and it turns out the main theater is southern Lebanon for an illegal land grab. The US military officers that were fired or demoted to desk jobs told the drunk and pedo their plan was complete shit. The destroyed forward radar installations, aircraft, etc… need the sticker with “I did that.”

    What pisses me off the most about all this is all the crimes against humanity. But after that, the thing that pisses me off the most is the sheer incompetence. You didn’t think they would hit back? Like you SERIOUSLY DID NOT CONSIDER THAT THEY ALSO HAVE BOMBS?

        If there was more competence none of this would have happened. Their incompetence is not stopping them from mulching innocent civilians and it is not stopping them from fucking up global trade and putting billions at risk of starvation by causing the price of energy and fertilizer to skyrocket.

        A competent imperial leadership would have perhaps still had the desire to wage full scale war on Iran, but competence would have led them to do at the very least a cost-benefit analysis and conclude that continuing to leverage soft power would have been more in line with the imperial goal of continued global hegemony. This administration’s actions belie a deep seated desperation that is unnecessary and unbecoming. Precisely because, I suspect, they are all painfully aware that they are not qualified for the positions they have found themselves in and that they are doing a terrible job.

    I absolutely love this for them. I’m glad they’re hitting the USA as hard as they are. Laughed out loud when I saw the E3 broken in half.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Say goodbye to your world superpower status, ya morons.

        Good. The world needs to be rid of superpowers altogether. Yes, China is ascendant right now. But they too will fall in time.

            Not as one contiguous nation. What years are you counting, exactly? The land? The people who live on the land? The language the people speak? The name the language has for the land or the people?

            The PRC has only been around for roughly a century.

    The Islamic terrorists are pedophiles (aka. child brides) and religious zealots (aka. Islamic extremism). The US are pedophiles (aka. release the Epstein files) and religious zealots (aka. “Christian” nationalists).

    There is no difference, at their root. We need renewable energy and an abandonment of as much plastics and other petrochemicals as much as possible, so the world doesn’t suffer at the hands of both of these hegemonic terrorists.

        More like a Canadian take . Many of Canadian believes we are a moral version of the USA while we benefited for American imperialism and wars , we are backing Israel too, we are allowing the selling of occupied land in synagogues and IDF soldiers speaking in our universities. We even still breaching deals with First Nations regularly

      None of this justify the USA and Israel attacking Iran and planning genocide . Canada was fine with decades of the USA imperialism and even benefited from it .

      Canadian industry sold roughly $2.47 billion in war materiel to the U.S. military during the Vietnam era. The same USA who raped underage girls in the war

      Yup. And what zionest don’t know is this will be the death of Isreal as a state. The international community will have no choice but to dissolve the state for crimes against humanity. Their population will be relocated across Europe and America.

        No and no. Israel won’t be “dissolved” by the international community; either Palestinians or neighboring states will have to do it themselves in a likely brutal war. Relocating their population is also not going to fly unless you’ll volunteer for that anti-guerilla campaign (setting aside the ethnic cleansing aspect).

        Edit: Don’t mistake this for being pro-Israel because I am absolutely not pro-Israel, but let’s not push for things that’d prove the Zionists right and also produce a Jewish Hezbollah.

        Lol death of Israel? The international community sees what Israel isn doing in real time, and are acting like it’s already 30 year old history in the text books.

        They cannot dissolve it as a state without murdering them all. They cannot murder them without also dying because Israel has nukes. Your fantasy needs work

            I love how my post gets downvotes for describing reality. They talk about the international community somehow dissolving a nuclear armed nation and relocating its population of 10M people. This has never happened in history and is impossible now and they are describing it as inevitable. It is as sane as thinking the earth is flat.

              Even the tactical nuke blowback would reach israel. Unification and reunification happened all the time in history. It is very hard but yes it is possible to dissolve isrsel without murdering all the Israelis
