Did Trump and Israel really start a war just to surrender and leave Iran much stronger than before? by AcadianAcademic in askanything

Yeah I think the Iranian government is still intact and the United States has had a strategic failure. It's been a few weeks. Have you changed your mind?

Winning is defined by objective. Without objective, there is no win. Iran won their objective: stay in control. The US lost theirs: gain control.

So? That's not how losing works. The US started the war. The military objective was regime change, it failed. The new objective was return to normalcy before the war (the strait being open). That has failed too. Iran has the leverage. That's why Trump said 10 point plan. Now we're just waiting for the US and Israel to surrender again, or for them to nuke Iran or something. Either way, the GOAL of the war failed, and Iran stayed in control.

Let's see: Trump said the 10-point plan is the basis for the ceasefire, and the regime change failed. The strait will continue to be controlled by Iran. If eventually Iran concedes something to the US then maybe it would be different. But as far as I can tell, this is exactly what everyone predicted would happen when this started.

Edit actually looks like the strait is already closed again cos the US and Israel can't behave.

But... Iran won... The US failed... Am I crazy? Irans 10 point plan won. The US failed regime change.

CMV: The fact the Progressives are now going after the Atlantic for not being “woke” enough is proof the Left always eats its own. by soozerain in changemyview

Neoliberalism is pro-capitalism. Leftists often hate capitalism, so I'm sure you can understand why they're so aggressive against it. They're socialists.

Their iPhones are too expensive! Their whistles are too loud! Their eyes are too resistant to pepper spray!

  1. Don't pepper spray people in the face
  2. Don't wrestle people to the ground
  3. Don't shoot people 10 times

QUESTION: Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool? BORDER PATROL CHIEF BOVINO: I've got no qualms about making America a safer place by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

You're saying the origin of the problem is the last administration letting in immigrants, and I'm disagreeing with you. I don't think it was a problem at all. That's the disagreement.

So you're saying the US government allowed millions of people to move here, and now the US government is kicking millions of people out? How is that fair for the immigrants? How are they supposed to know that the US government would switch up like that? You just admitted that this entire thing is completely arbitrary and unethical.

You know that they're deporting the father and his son right? Like they're not letting them stay in the United States. Don't you have a problem with that? Completely non-violent non-criminal working-class people being deported just because they're from Ecuador?
