The best and most strategic choice for the US was to never bomb Iran. Having failed that, the absolute best and most rational choice for the US is now to accept their current position and withdraw from West Asia entirely. The worst case scenario (still speaking strategically for the US, specifically) we thought would be the US doubling-down and bombing enough Iranian infrastructure which would prompt Iran to retaliate and blow up remaining GCC infrastructure, which would most people agreed would plunge the global economy into a terrible depression and cause widespread famine. But this scenario seems equally as likely to do that, assuming it goes on for long enough, without Iran having to have their infrastructure bombed, plus all the additional political fallout from it being so directly imposed by the US. And even if it doesn’t last (kinda doubt it will), it still just looks like terrible and desperate behavior coming from the US.

I had this thought when the US first attacked Iran, that we really truly cannot underestimate how incompetent these clowns are, but even I keep being surprised at how profoundly fucking smooth these peoples brains are. We must reach new depths with our predictions; I’m now all in the US canceling elections and doing a draft with ICE enforcement that ends up causing the collapse of the state by 2028.

EVERYWHERE I go smells like SHIT!

Must be those DAMN TANKIES that keep POOPING in MY pants

According to some comments in the news mega, they did (unsure if still ongoing).

Andy Weir is only capable of writing one character, and that character is basically just a stand-in for how he and other reddit-brained men idealize themselves.

Can’t wait for the first third-party seller that puts a prompt injection attack in their product’s name so that the retail’s LLM agent purchases it for every user

Also, there’s a non-zero chance that some dipshit’s openclaw server auto-signs them up for something like this, and instantly financially ruins them

still love the truck

Most vegan ice cream I’ve tried is great (my go-to is Oatly) but for some reason Halo Top’s (which was my go-to before I went vegan) vegan flavors all taste like sawdust.

This is actually a photo from The Battle of Jakku that ISB droids are spreading around the holonet in effort to discredit rebel OISNT networks

Sdmh these poor oppressed East Germans couldn’t even slam their drink glass onto the ground in frustration

He’s gonna declare victory and then a couple of days later we’re gonna get some funny Shahed POV videos

Look on the bright side, the elections will probably be canceled

Smh so much government waste just build roofs over the craters from the initial troop landings

Lmao, this empire will only get gaudier and more cringe the more it collapses.

Fuck it, he should should bully credit card companies to include his signature on credit cards so chuds have to see his name every time they pay for $10/g gas.

and also

Yes. Even though it would literally be far cheaper and just as effective to have the would-be landing force line up single-file and 1-by-1 jump into a wood chipper, but noooo this empire only knows how to burn money 🙄

Iraq couldn’t even sell its own oil without putting the revenue into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which they had to ask permission from the US to withdraw from. All other things aside, it’s so fucking funny seeing the US shoot itself in the face so hard by blowing up these rackets that were massively benefiting the empire through monstrous levels of exploitation. Exploitation that they probably could have maintained for at least another decade had they simply not attacked Iran.
