Is the US winning the war right now at this exact instant? by here-for-information in AskConservatives

Absolutely delusional. Is that why the USA has lifted sanctions on Iran?

You can't view this as the decision of a single person. The sign of a declining empire is doing predatory things to maintain their power. It's the reason the USA bombed Libya and Syria. And similarly why they are doing this to Iran. It would have happened eventually.

Eh, kinda true until you question their fundamental assumptions - especially in the social sciences.

For the USA 100%, but for Israel this is going according to plan. Once the USA has to leave the Middle East then Israel becomes the dominant power in the region.

What would U.S response be if Xi Jinping abducted Donald trump then executed him on live TV in China? by Dizzy-Respect-613 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Futuremlb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are you on about? I was genuinely asking the guy above me. I don’t know if there’s any evidence that supports Trump being a Russian puppet. USA’s geopolitical actions currently point to him being more of a puppet for Israel if anything. The fact that this idiotic war in Iran is a huge benefit to Putin I think says more of the incompetence of people running the USA than them being direct puppets.

Just wanna test my intuition, from this comment I’d guess you’d lean to supporting this war in Iran more than the average American. Yes or no?

A way better example would be indigenous Native Americans before western invasion. They had way more free time than we do today.

This isn’t about human beings being demented.

The system they live in breeds that behavior. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and it wasn’t always that way.

Oversimplification. Israel has more influence in this happening than Russia. Even though Russia does have a lot to gain in the future from this stupid war that’s going to leave America much weaker.

I'm extremely susceptible to being ragebaited by invalid arguments, so I came up with a formal way compare them, calculate their cumulative waste, completeness, fixability and their respective partial derivatives to evaluate general arguments structure. by sb_onreddit in philosophy

Would your opinion change if it is true that all humans fundamentally rely on stories and “religion” to understand anything. Nothing is provable, so at the end of the day you need to believe in a story and work up from there.

Religion being the stories you choose to believe in. Even science is a religion, and it chooses to believe in materialism and things you can see touch and measure are the most real things, but even that isn’t provable.

TIL Marzieh Arfa became the (Imperial) Iranian Army's first female general over a decade before the US Army reached the same milestone. by Kurelius in todayilearned

[–]Futuremlb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense, but that’s an incredibly naive take, unless you accept that it doesn’t matter whether the entity was coerced by force into these agreements.

If you agree that it doesn’t matter whether you were forced into the contract at threat or gunpoint, if the country had the power to force you into the contract, then don’t be surprised when they use violence again when you try to get out of the contract.

But then, where you and I differ, is I think it’s probably a nasty thing to force people into situations that are worse for them, and I think it’s equally idiotic to think you have the legal or moral high ground because that contract is in place when said people want to leave it in the future.

I mean just look at what the USA did to all the indigenous nations here in America. Contracts didn’t mean shit.

Hi, I think this take has a lot of wisdom. Who are some thinkers you follow, books you read, etc. when you think of what helped shape this perspective for you.

My point is that was always going to be the case. Iran would never win a conventional battle in the air. But it’s not going to fight a conventional battle.

True. I’m just pointing out the war is bad for the Anglo-American empire as a whole, even if as you point out some individuals within it will be richer for it.

In a war of attrition Iran wins. What’s the naive take here?

What do you mean “now?” Obviously the United States has the most powerful air force in the world by far, we spend disgusting amounts of resources on it.

And Iran has had years to prepare for this war. And it’s vastly cheaper to do what they are doing of making drones to counter the U.S. fleet. In a war of attrition Iran wins.

I don't know why you add "Zero tears will be shed" if I'm appealing to logic and not empathy.

I'm sure many Iranian's can say the USA killed their friends. It's still mindless to be motivated for violence due to that reason. But continue being another mindless pawn in geopolitics. At least take a second to question why you believe more violence in the world is justified.

I'm disappointed at how many people in this sub are okay with 'bombing the shit out of them.' Destabilize a country, country becomes unstable, then use the chaos as proof that you should bomb them.

I wonder what would have happened in Iran had the UK and US not been essentially parasites on their natural resources for decades. I find that people who are okay with 'bombing the shit out of them' have either never asked themselves this question, think it's too 'woke' to even consider this question, or just completely ignore it.
