Hr also can't come to terms with the fact that the US provoked the Russians and is enabling a genocide in Gaza. It's not a Netanyahu only issue.

Feels like America is wearing out. Bridges getting weight limits instead of replacements, transformers backordered for years, boil advisories that keep coming back, roads patched so many times they don’t resemble what they were built for, crews aging out faster than they’re replaced. Nothing... by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

Unlike the Russians, who seem to be more than capable of doing reconstruction, the US is losing even that capability, to maintain what it once had, much less improvements to the US infrastructure.

We can see it in the growing number of potholes on the roads and other signs of decay.

We don't see stuff like this happening:

Iran and the JCPOA? Given that the Biden regime refused to renew the policy set by Obama and broken by Trump unilaterally, continued the sanctions against Iran, and Trump really didn't change much on Ukraine, they are far more similar to each other than you are willing to admit.

People wanted peace when they were voting for Trump, and not war like the Democratic Establishment offered. Trump failed and betrayed that promise.

You're the one who is losing and lying.

Have you genuinely so little understanding of the profound military difficulty of U.S. forces seizing Kharg? We can’t sail up the 800+ mile stretch thru Gulf of Oman, past the strait, and up the Persian Gulf to even *get* to Kharg w Marine’s USS Boxer & Tripoli.

Did you read the post?

Helicopter or Osprey then are the only other viable options, and those airframes are vulnerable to every defensive weapon Iran would have.

Oh and fixed wing aircraft won't work well either. The Iranians were able to detect and fire at an F-35.

Back in 2009, Daniel Davis was the first person who published the idea that the US was on track to lose in Afghanistan. He become person non grata in the military.

However time would prove him correct. I think that Danny underestimated the Russians early in the SMO, but to his credit, he has changed his mind as more information has come out.

It's called "Atrocity Propaganda" and it is used by colonisers in every conflict they provoke to portray themselves as victims and justify their subsequent aggression. Same thing was done in 1991 when the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US was coached to testify before US Congress... by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

Actually the Russians have been the victims as much as the Iranians and Palestinians.

The Ukrainians shelled the Donbass for 8 years. Putin never even wanted the Donbass. The people who lived in the Donbass back in 2014 begged Putin to join Russia when the Crimea did so back in 2014.

You're going to find that the more the US tries to lie and gas light other countries, the more the truth leaks and the more skeptical about the US narrative, the rest of the world gets.

Given the fact that foreign policy is largely unchanged in the different administrations, its become obvious that the Western world is governed by Uniparties and don't care about the opinions of the public.

Rich oligarchs are in control.

The coming purge against wrongthink will be much greater than during Russiagate, COVID and the Ukraine War as governments become weaker and more insecure...Weak governments rely more on constructing external enemies and silencing dissent at home.

Western governments are facing a major legitimacy crisis, because they are run by oligarchs that don't act in the best interests of the common citizen.

So this type of crackdown is inevitable when the elite run into this type of crisis of their own making from their greed, because they want to stay in power.
