The President may or may not have thought they would fall, it’s beside the point, as his masters in Israel ordered the holders of the blackmail to tell him it was time. Operation Epstein’s Fury had to start, and Israel has been killing anyone the administration has been negotiating with to prevent a peace deal.
Israel will make sure hardliners are in control when the war ends, so they can justify reaching across the border regularly to strike targets for domestic political reasons, that include their population being the thralls of the Israeli versions of Fox News. They are like 80% fucked in the head over there.
Win? Why would a despot care about “winning”? So long as they don’t lose a protracted war is a boon.
It’s a means of acquiring even more personal wealth and power. It’s an excuse to oppress their internal enemies, a distraction from their crimes, and a rallying point for their allies.
I genuinely do not believe trump knew or cared how long Iran might hold out. Someone near him said “you get money if you attack…” and trump didn’t even wait to hear who. In my headcanon, that’s why Venezuela was taken.
“Bro we’re totally winning bro, trust me bro, we just need another 1 trillion USD in missiles bro, trust me bro, this time the regime will totally fall bro, we’ll even send troops to ensure that bro, plz bro just 1 trillion USD”
Trumps estimate was more realistic.
Wow. Did I just say something positive about Trump?
5 weeks estimate for Russia vs Ukraine maybe. If Ukraine’s first response had been worse.
But think about this: Iran has a pop of 90 mil, the population centres are on the other side of the country, there’s only mountains and deserts to trek through and it’s two oceans away from USA.
Ukraine is all flat, directly next to Russia and Kyiv could have been reached by the tanks in a day’s drive.
Aww they’re like two shit stains in a diaper.
Stupid fucking losers.
we chose these people. it doesn’t matter that you did not vote, you chose this. apathy kills, and apparently it kills us.
I feel like in the case of Putin, it’s a very loose definition of the word “choice”
He blackmailed his political opposition when entering the public eye.
Hey, beyond apathy, as an outsider, I want to point out the fact that voter registration seems extra complicated in the US, and designed to prevent people from voting. Coupled with voter roll purges, and other measures, it requires extra determination to vote. When I learned how it’s done in the US, I was horrified. Some people have to go through a lot just to vote.
Where I live we’re all automatically registered. It’s the election bureau that makes all the work from what the government already knows about us. We get a card in the mail every election telling us we’re registered. That’s it. We can also register directly at the polls super easily. AFAIK voter fraud is nonexistent.
WE sure didn’t choose Kamala to run against these people. Maybe the Democratic party ought to be democratic. Anyways, I see no evidence that Kamala would have held Israel back. Biden sure as hell didn’t.
to the downvoter, why do you fear the truth…the only reason to downvote herei is to hide things…
I downvoted because I am not a US citizen, yet you said “we” as if this sub-lemmy is only for US citizens. I don’t like the language and the US-centric thinking it implies. Thus the downvoting.
I’m not a USian either, so I get your point, but wherever you are, look to your leaders and decide if they’re really the sort you want. The OP’s point stands in a more general sense than just those two stains on humanity
