I agree Iran has a strong upper hand right now, but it's been less than a week since the most recent deal was announced and also literally the very next article up is about how the deal may still fall through. Seems a bit early to declare a winner at all

[-] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Israel has already bombed Lebanon and Iran has already stopped ships in the strait again so... Yeah. We just wait and see if Trump finally does something positive and stops directly supporting Israel. Bonus, Trump will be impeached and removed within a couple of weeks if he does, and Israel will lose protection just long enough for its people to finally face some level of consequences for the first time in their history.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Lol, he will not be impeached "within weeks" if he does. Israel isn't going to give up on Trump.

[-] not_IO 1 points 6 days ago

the deal is meant to be enforced in 30 days time so thats not a problem

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

We can prove this just using Trump's own words...

"But what this does is it allows the ships to go. If we keep bombing, those ships won't be going"

So Trump is admitting that Iran controls the strait. What, practically, does that mean for the US?

"we run out of [oil] reserves in about four weeks"

Sounds like he is under some time pressure! What would happen if it wasn't solved by then?

"[markets would] go down at levels that nobody ever saw before, maybe except for 1929"

Oh. That sounds bad?

So how likely is he to avoid this outcome by winning the war within the next four weeks?

"if we didn't do this deal, we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years. You would never have the Hormuz Strait open. You would never have success"

There you have it! If he doesn't agree to the deal, the US is guaranteed an economic collapse. So he is forced to take the deal.

What do you call it when one side in a war is forced to take a deal?

[-] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

This is an underrated comment. Honestly the most articulate and clear summary of the US defeat I've seen so far.

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I'd have to credit Belle for the idea, but thanks!

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 days ago

And yahu is already saying they're staying in Lebanon

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid 1 points 6 days ago

israel staying in lebadon is the thing that created Hezbollah, from what i remember.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 19 points 6 days ago

in before the “‘Nam was a draw!” dudes

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Oh the war isn't over untill Israel stops attacking Lebanon.

The US is entirely uber cucked to Israel... literally Israel is saying they will release Epstein material no one has seen before, if the US withdraws.

This is not over, not by a long shot.

The entire MOU itself also like, isn't a peace treaty.

It is an outline of what must in place and agreed upon before actual peace negotiations re-commence.

But its already violated, because part of it includes: Israel has to stop attacking Lebanon, which they refuse to cease doing.

Every person and media outlet acting like this is a peace treaty, a formally agreed upon ceasefire... is a propagandist.

You can literally just read the document yourself.

Truth is the first casualty of war, and all that.

More must die for the Epstein class.

Either Trump has to accept being publically, definitively outed as a child rapist, or the US has to regime change Israel, or Iran has to cease existing.

Those are the ways this can end.

[-] TheVoiceOfRaison@thelemmy.club 2 points 6 days ago

Trump wants to be at war when mid terms occur to stop the elections. He's taking a page out of Bibbi's book. He knows he's going to jail unless he can continue to be in conflict.

[-] nullspace@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Editor battles over stuff like this is my least favorite aspect of Wikipedia.

How long until the orange kid-diddler signs an executive order stating Wikipedia must say Iran lost...

[-] JoShmoe@ani.social 7 points 6 days ago

Now we need Pakistan to negotiate an agreeable wikipedia.

[-] Heikki2@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Let's be honest, he can still make the whole thing a lot worse in the next 60days. Also kinda disappointed the Iranians didn't press for the release of the Epstien Files. Its have been hilarious

[-] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict it’s been involved with for the past 80 years.

Its current “leadership” believes that streak is at least twice that.

[-] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I can't quite keep up with this tictactoe. Where are the grids?

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 59 points 1 week ago

The discussion on the dispute seems pretty strongly tilted in the "keep" direction.

Going to be interesting to see the United States put Wikipedia under export control as a munition.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 week ago

Tbf Wikipedia feels like another website whose hosting should be federated in order to evade clampdowns

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 43 points 1 week ago

They provide the entire database as a download for this reason

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

How big is it now?

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 week ago

Ignore what wikipedia says

Click the little citation links

Thats what matters

[-] Cassa 44 points 1 week ago

yes, and it's a pretty extensive citation list for one footnote 🙏

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago

Uh not if Wikipedia agrees with me.

It’s a valid source then.

[-] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 14 points 1 week ago

Proof by Wikipedia

But could you get away?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Huh, when I checked somewhat recently it said strategic victory rather than just victory

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
