    It’s treason to be Putin’s bitch.

    Shame no one has the power, or the balls to hold the traitor accountable.

    Im not going to say we’re not winning. We lost. We could not take a single strategic objective and we just called it off. We lost freedom of navigation, american lives, and any perception of military strength. All our soft power and hard power gone all at once. in 60 days. Trump did more for Irans death the America calls than any army could

      and any perception of military strength.

      As someone who isn’t American, I assure you no one globally thinks the Americans actually have any military strength.

      They’re a paper tiger. They just have a lot of money. Their training sucks, their troops suck, their military strategy sucks… Everything about the US military is arguably terrible except for money.

        Why do so many non-American countries buy weapons from and train with Americans?

        Are they stupid?

          I’m ex CAF. Sometimes you need a reminder how well trained you are as a fighting force by training next to someone who is inept as fuck. Training next to Americans really reminded us how well trained we were.

          And again, the American military is just money. Buying weapons and munitions is not the same as America deploying their Temu brand of military soldiers.

      The US is not winning anything, anywhere, in any way. Until Trump is gone, and MAGA has been crushed, and it’s followers either imprisoned, or chased back under their slimy rocks, America will continue to be the biggest shithole country on the planet.

      Republicans continuing their quest ATTEMPT to dilute the impact and meaning of the word treason.

      They can try, but we don’t have to accept their bullshit rationalizations or excuses or lies, like our Democratic leaders have in the past. These psychopaths think they can make something true just by saying it, no matter how outlandish, but the Dems are the ones who make it true by accepting it.

      Stop that. Call them out for their nonsense. When Trump does something like thinking he’s buying another 60 days without Congressional approval for his war, because he “declared” the end of military operations, then Threatened to bomb the shit out of them a few hours later, it’s the Dems who decide if they are going to grant him his wish, and they always do.

      Just Say No. And then start arresting MAGAs who don’t comply.

      The misses farted on my balls and I shouted, “Treason!”

      She looked me dead in the eye and said, “Just like Trump, you have no idea what treason means.”

      The fact that ‘U.S.’ and everything else is in lowercase makes me literally question if the US government removed this comment.

      Because the administration is so illiterate and inept that it would make complete sense.

    trump sings “Treasonous!”, Netenyahu sings “Anti-Semitic!”. We need a new playlist (maybe from different pop groups this time, even ‘Menudo’ kicks you out when you become too old).

      Time to breakout some 20th Century classics.

      Unpatriotic.

      Counter-Revolutionary.

    Trump keeps pointing to “their navy is gone their air force is gone” as proof the US is winning.

    Years ago Iran evaluated what kind of a war they might face, and determined that their best shot was through massive amounts of ballistic missiles, drones, and small watercraft. This meant significantly de-prioritizing a traditional air force and navy. So yeah, they don’t have really any capital ships or fighter jets, but they never had much of those in the first place and haven’t been prioritizing that part of their military. But their missile and drone stocks - to say nothing of actual soldiers in their army btw - are all still doing pretty great actually. Destroyers and interceptor jets aren’t going to win the war for Iran and that was never their plan anyway.

    The US is absolutely NOT winning this war, and they will not be able win this war.

      There navy is gone, except for the armada of speed boats running mid-range recon and planting sea mines and launching drones.

      Their air force is gone except for all the planes we haven’t shot down yet and their UAWs and etc etc.

      Their leadership is all assassinated, except for the people currently in command.

      We’re winning! We’re winning! We’re just a little behind as time is running out.

      The US is absolutely NOT winning this war

      We’ve spent a quarter trillion dollars to destroy over a trillion dollars in Iranian infrastructure and massacre an innumerable count of their civilian population. If this is a war of genocide, we’re winning. At least in so far as they’re dying in far higher volumes than us.

        History is filled with soon-to-be dominant kingdoms and countries that endured ridiculous losses in population and still somehow rebounded.

        Rome, Persia, China, just to name a few.

        So long as the unified spiritulity and determination is there along with the right conditions, death and destruction won’t find an easy victim.

      How far is your capital from your home?

      I’ll just gather up my posse of 5 close friends to make the 14 hour drive to Washington while maintaining opsec from the largest surveillance network in the world. Maybe driving isn’t a good idea, we’ll just take the train, that will only take 28 hours.

      Can you even drive in a straight line for 14 hours and not leave your country?

      Logistics matter. Distances matter. Having the money to eat while you’ve abandoned your job matters.

      It’s easy telling us what to do from the comfort of your keyboard.
