Second verse, same as the first.

It's almost like America is a failed state because Americans are braindead morons who will let you rob them blind as long as you tell them they are part of an extra special freedom team.

Yeah! Don't unsell our stupidity and failures! We've work tirelessly to be proudly ignorant. Stupid intellectuals trying to give us the benefit of the doubt are the real no brian morans!

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

So it is a war. Which means it is illegal because Congress has not sanctioned it. Arrest the criminal fucker.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago

This is damage control on the the stock market and posturing for his base, Iran doesnt seem to be backing down and the longer this drags out the more certain disaster for the global economy becomes.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 9 points 4 days ago

Probably. The outlook for a long war might pop a bubble that's keeping "his" economy afloat.

[-] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 4 days ago

Saw the multitude of economic indicators and worried for a minute.

‘Very Complete, Pretty Much’

Almost nowhere near?

Definitely almost?

Precisely in general?

"A concept of a plan of an exit strategy."

[-] j2k4@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Sounds like my colleague's progress report this morning.

Concepts of completion

[-] jjpamsterdam@feddit.org 11 points 3 days ago

And here I was thinking that it takes one side to start a war but two to stop it. The US seems to be in a no win scenario. Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory, or they commit to a ground campaign, which is Afghanistan all over again but much bigger in scope.

[-] Nighed@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

Yeh, the US opened Pandora's box here. You can't just close it again.

Either they just call it a day while publicly claiming victory, which in practice results in an Iranian victory,

That was the greatest victory US ever had. We won, and we won bigly. Iran leader was begging me not to kill him. Iranian children were hiding like dogs. Some people say we didn't win but they are traitors and communists.

[-] Emilia@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

What do you think that wining a war means ? What do you call losing a war in your culture and traditions?

[-] jjpamsterdam@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago

It's quite obvious that Iran (or at least its current regime) is fighting a war of survival. If the current regime stays in power and gains the ability to open and close Hormuz at will, that should be a win for Iran. If the US cannot guarantee safe shipping through Hormuz, that is a loss for them. In my book that seems pretty straightforward.

My kitchen has been pretty much finished for the last 5 years

[-] prex@aussie.zone 14 points 4 days ago

Thank fuck for taco's

Translation: his attention span has been exceeded, so he'll stand in front of a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, then move on to the next distraction while the war drags on.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[-] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 4 days ago

just another two week project gone awry

[-] RalfWausE@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago

They are running out of interceptors and now they hope they can pull out and deescalate until they get hit where it hurts...

[-] Bopolny@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Trump will end the war, claim success and oil will be below $60 by summer. Announcement coming this week

[-] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

The good news and the bad news is this doesn't indicate the war is over.

[-] nert@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

So they failed in pulling in Iran’s neighbors to fight for them and now it’s over.

[-] Emilia@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

Lol 😆 🤣

[-] intrepid@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Oh! Stop projecting and retreat already! Nobody else asked for any of this. This is on you and your moron squad alone.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Israel got to kill some children and invade Lebanon. They used this fool to gain couple of smaller and bigger wins again. Nothing else matters here.
