    “Oil is flowing” they say while our emergency oil reserves are at an all time low. “They will have a missile logistics problem” they say while our own missiles are practically depleted. “It’s about endurance” as our sailors try to kill themselves. It’s existential for Iran, they are not going to surrender.

      American life is still better than Iranian life

      American casualties are still lower than Iranian

      I do agree with everything you posted though, especially the oil reserves. Do you find it funny that the oil markets freaked out during Biden presidency and the Russian war but today markets are calm and rational as we suck our reserves dry? Shit has to be rigged!

        I find it funny the Americans still think they are on top because of their relative “quality of living” to an impoverished state. May the century of humiliation commence!

          Well show me another country where I can afford to drive for 100 miles everyday, eat 3 meat meals every day and be free to go to an open air gun range at sunset?

          Checkmate librul 😂 /s

    Even if true, that’s not necessarily a win for the US. This is the type of act that could result in a 9/11 scale terrorist attack. This will have generational effects. Even if Iran unconditionally surrenders, the US has already lost.

      Maybe this is the plan, first get stuck in a war against an old enemy some time before midterm elections, fake a terrorist attack on US soil, Trump suspends elections and sends a nuke because he always wanted to. But first he tells his friends to short the market.

              I don’t see the issue, maybe the OP could have a disclaimer that they’re not supporting the propaganda. I personally also enjoy seeing people talk about obvious propaganda and dismantling it. After all, the memes that baits out liberals also tends to bring a lot of discussion with a lot of sources to back them, helps educate people!

                It is was obvious Trump would be bad yet ton of people was duped. Hell even the dumbest conspiracy theories like Earth is flat has ten millions of believers. He shares a propaganda piece without debunking it

                  The majority of this instance would never fall for obvious US propaganda. There’s plenty of educated people that aren’t biased towards western sentiment and the admins and moderators would not tolerate any liberalism. World News isn’t the best place to share it though I guess, since it’s just Amerika coping real, real hard.

              You do understand that this site is for gathering reactions and getting new perspectives on things? Reddit and Lemmy are excellent tools on gathering public sentiment! Plus I like the engagement

                  IT’S A FUCKING NEWS ARTICLE

                  LOL, newsflash; this site at least knows it’s propaganda the rest of the population thinks it’s news! Like I said I’m impressed with Lemmy because y’all see right through the BS. Unlike reddit, where it’s far more mixed.

                  Don’t forget, if we don’t know what the enemy is saying we will not know how to respond. Read the damn propaganda to know how to respond to it, unless you fear you’ll fall for it yourself?

    Except Tehran doesn’t have to win. All it has to do is not lose and Tehran is definitely winning in that regard. The US has far more at stake with how many diplomatic and trade relations took permanent damage because of this war.

    Tehran will have the last laugh regardless of the outcome.
