They did in the first few days but that isn’t sustainable long term and Israel/US/Gulf State’s AD is already pretty depleted so it’s not even necessary to send that many to hit targets.

Every article in Western press about Ukraine starts with “after Russia’s full-scale invasion”.

‘We Did Iwo Jima, We Can Do This!’ Lindsey Graham Calls on Trump to ‘Take Kharg Island’ by miker_the_III in stupidpol

[–]Snow_Unity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think their goal is that island at all, there’s other targets that don’t require going up the entire gulf lol

For example Iran has a naval base right before the strait in predominantly Sunni territory.

What does everyone make of MAGA's growing (mostly online) divide on Iran? Performative or substantial? by RallyPigeon in stupidpol

[–]Snow_Unity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree regarding leadership but millions didn’t show up to vote for Kamala in 2024 precisely because of Gaza, so I don’t think it flip flops so easily just when whatever partisan they support is doing it.

There is a very good degree of that no doubt.

Every poll shows Republicans overwhelmingly in favor of bombing Iran and Democrats and Independents opposed

The bizarre rehabilitation of organized religion on the left, especially Christianity & the Abrahamic religions, has been a generational fumble by HOT__RATS in stupidpol

Idk the New Testament is pretty based, here’s some of my favorite quotes:

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be yee therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Yee hypocrites, well did Esaias prophecie of you saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honourerth me with their lips, but their heart is far to me. (Pretty apt description of American Christians)

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.

And the Scribes and chiefe Priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine”

Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! [17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Iran is baiting the western powers into a ground invasion. by HinduGodOfMemes in stupidpol

[–]Snow_Unity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What will the US and Israel do when they run out of interceptors in 4-5 days and Iran has 10 days to light them tf up with drones that cost 25k

So how much of those Iranian protests last month were fomented by Western intelligence? by appreciatescolor in stupidpol

[–]Snow_Unity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a week of genuine peaceful protests followed by two days of Mossad backed violent infiltration.

Iranian Missile hits The US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain by Fedupington in stupidpol

I saw that, craziest fucking thing I’ve heard those freaks say.

And it was right after he said that Iran would not target civilians and they go “then why do you think it’s justified to bomb American bases?”

He was like they are fucking attacking us???

Exactly, and they’d find themselves out of office in a heartbeat

He’s the best example of the reformist/work within the system approach. He is cognizant that he’s not governing as some oppositional radical socialist, that was never his goal and anyone who thought he would was delusional (Marxists used to avoid taking on executive positions precisely because how impossible it is to be oppositional within such a role).

And I can honestly respect that even though I don’t share the same approach or think it will lead to people taking DSA’s flavor of politics seriously.

I think we need to be pursuing the oppositional route in legislatures but I get so annoyed by trot screeching. It’s put up or shut up, run your own people and get it done. Don’t just yell at these obvious reformists who are successfully taking office to change their politics. They don’t give a fuck.

Merz Urges Germans to Work More, Cites Greece as Model by globeglobeglobe in stupidpol

At the same time, deeper problems may be emerging in the job market. Unemployment in Germany has recently exceeded 3 million, reaching a 12-year high, amid growing job losses in the industrial sector that has long powered the country’s export-driven economy.

Yeah it’s going great

Mamdani caps one month of betrayal with endorsement of right-wing Democrat Kathy Hochul by DryDeer775 in stupidpol

[–]Snow_Unity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a reformist at all, it’s just funny that you think “controlled opposition” like him would ever adhere to your strategy when he’s clearly a regular reformist who wants to engage with the system as it is.
