It was something to do while multi-non-tasking.

I've mastered multi-non-tasking

No way the Iranians believe US conventional force against them can be increased twenty-fold, similar to how the Ukrainians don’t buy that Russia has had one hand tied behind its back and will start really trying soon.

No statecraft in this threat. A show for domestic audience + psychological cope.

Unfortunate that so much US political media is committed to ignorance, credulity, and obsequiousness, because the response to Trump saying Iran has tomahawks should’ve been incessant questioning like “how did you let that happen?,” “did you authorize sales?,” and “who are you holding accountable?”

So what happens in the event that Trump TACOs and Israel keeps going at Iran independently of the U.S. and the straight stays closed to transit?

Ben Shapiro excusing the murder of 160 girls in an illegal war as "collateral damage" kinda stuck with me today. There is no evil the Right won't excuse and handwave away.

“Who could’ve seen this coming?” is highly unpleasant when the answer is “most people who know anything about this big topic and they’ve been saying so for years.”

How did I know the Trump admins wouldn’t get a nuclear deal with Iran no matter how much bluster and bullying they tried?

Multiple reasons. But one was they didn’t include any nuclear physicists or engineers in the talks, in sharp contrast to the intricately detailed Iran nuclear deal that worked.

Fixed it.

Reminder: the US economy can survive a lot more of Trump's stovetouching with little damage.

It's that robust.

Consumer sentiment will deteriorate much faster than the economy itself and only the AI bubble popping could cause major damage fast.

Everything else will be death by a thousand cuts.

One example: the US goal in Vietnam was to stop the spread of communism in Asia

The US lost the war, but achieved its goal. The others got the message.

Some expected that there's one weird trick for Trump to collapse the immense economic and military power of the US, which he inherited twice.

But there is no such trick.

He's chipping away at US power persistently, but it's a huge mountain. Instant collapse is impossible.

And what "situation" would that be? Iran being totally defeated and the US winning, winning, winning? Or another situation - one which he hasn't mentioned.

Guess it's time for another blast of opinion pieces claiming Russians don't really feel the war or care about the war.

Deconstructing the mythmaking and propaganda generated by the US does not mean you have to accept the mythmaking and propaganda generated by the IRGC

Thanks, Yahya Sinwar!

7 months ago this guy said he's got it covered, and Trump trusted him.
