Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's actually pretty interesting. The US is a paper tiger. It can't handle a prolonged war against a middle power like Iran. Even though it's supposed to be a super power. We've also found out that most of their heavy weapons aren't even suitable outside of the middle east. They weigh too much and get stuck in mud. (happened in Ukraine). They can attack effectively from the sea and that's it. Every actual general has probably poured over the data from Ukraine, and Iran. I, a casual armchair payer of attention, can see this. The pro's probably have all sorts of plans now. I'm curious how much the US military leadership is shitting their pants right now. The conflict with Iran lasted 12 days. How could they last a month?
Exactly, the US built up a whole mythology around their military might, and this worked great until they made a mistake of actually putting it to the test.
Even that is getting into question by their performance against Yemen and that they didn't even tried against Iran.
