Boots on ground will run into artillery and drones.

It’s like they learned nothing from watching Russia and Ukraine.

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Iran also has a lot experience with drone warfare since they're supplying Russia with drones and have people operating and learning in an active war. Meanwhile the US hasn't really fought against drones in a real war and they refused help from Ukraine one of the countries at the forefront of drone warfare.

I wonder how long will Trump stay in office when the internet starts getting videos of American soldiers getting killed by drones just like the ones with Russian soldiers we have right now.

Trump has raped children, is a convicted felon, and demolished part of the White House. He's threatened reporters with execution, demanded personal enrichment as part of foreign trade, incited a terrorist attack on the Capitol building, and then pardoned the terrorists convicted of their crimes. He has openly solicited bribes and disclosed classified data to our enemies that resulted in the deaths of American agents abroad.

His supporters will not move an inch regardless of how many soldiers they see dying.

I've been around for over 4 decades and the only thing I've ever seen conservatives give a fuck about were gas prices, unborn babies (specifically), and people with not white skin becoming president.

Note: Specifically unborn babies because they don't give a flying fuck about kids after they're born. That's why they voted for a party that is currently obliterating child cancer research and are against free school lunches.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

That's because Conservativism isn't really am ideology. It's psychological cover for being selfish. Conservatives define their core values based on whatever is good for the people within the Conservative group. They believe that they are the good people, the special people, and that they are entitled to whatever they want. Anyone that stands in their way is evil. Any facts that challenge their world view are lies. Any crimes they commit in service to their goals are justified.

Conservatives don't care about gas prices or unborn babies or racism unless those issues help them get elected. Conservatives get abortions when they want them. They will even blame other people getting abortions "for no reason" as the reason why they can't get their own "totally justified and moral" abortion.

They start wars, make trade agreements, and deregulate inustries that raise gas prices, because someone is getting rich from the high gas prices. When Conservatives are in charge and prices go up, they will tell you it is your patriotic duty to fuel up you SUV and drive around.

Even the racism is entirely user dependent. Black conservatives, Latino conservatives, Asian conservatives, Jewish conservatives, Islamic conservatives, Russian conservatives, they all hate someone and they all pretend to be the most persecuted people. It doesn't matter if they all hate the same people, as long as they hate somebody.

This is not politics. It's pathological narcissism.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the plain and stark language. I’m so tired of the sane washing, I’m so tired of skirting the issue. We need to accept and then figure out how to deal with the facts.

It’s not his supporters I’m worried about, it’s the apathy and impatience of the average american voter that does.

Until he dies.

If un-armed Americans getting killed at home didn't get him removed, armed Americans getting killed overseas won't get him removed, no matter what happens he will refuse to leave office alive.

There's 300 million of you and 1 of him, do the whole world a favour AND FUCKING K-[Redacted for legal reasons but you get the idea].

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The people who got Trump elected will find another hack celebrity.

Trump has no magic powers beyond "name recognition", really, another "star". There will be another. And another. And another. Trump will be replaced immediately. The same filthy rich vampires will continue to "donate" and keep them elected.

USA is openly pay-for-play now, they don't even bother to hide it. Look who shared the stage with him when he won... and those were the dumb ones.

Say it with me, folks:

YOU WILL DIE FOR OIL SO THAT THE EPSTEIN CLASS STAYS WEALTHY.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago

The Epstein class wants to fuck your daughter while you die in a war of aggression to make oil barons richer.

[-] moustachio@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t forget Israel, you die for the Epstein class AND Israel.

[-] booly@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's more accurate to say "You will die for Epstein so that the oil class stays wealthy."

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 27 points 2 weeks ago

Born too early to deploy to the Middle East. Born too late to deploy to the Middle East. Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East.

God bless America and it’s love for forever wars in the Middle East.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

One of my life's greatest accomplishments is not serving the American military. I take pride in it.

That's cool, where are the Epstein files, you vile fucker?

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 week ago

Man's never seen a ~~topographical~~ map of Iran and thinks that putting boots on the ground will work in those mountains.

We're going to se a whole lot more flag draped coffins stacked in amazon vans.

[-] AngryRedHerring@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I've already seen the pictures posted by soldiers of the great meals they suddenly, recently received

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

But they did so well in Vietnam's jungles … /s

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

They should put his boots on the ground there. With him wearing them, of course.

Two reasons for that: After he missed out Vietnam, he now has the chance to rectify this blunder. And: He can do everything perfectly (at least according to himself), so he should be a good leader and go first, leading his troops into battle like the kings of old.

It will be more like Afghanistan. Iran is mostly mountainous and guerilla warfare will be the default. The US relies too much on technology which will not that useful in that environment. Don't forget that the Iran army has been training for years for this type of conflict. Afghanistan was a disaster for American troops but will be nothing compared to Iran.

Yes, unfortunately the only way MAGA americans will learn is when their sons and daughters are needlessly murdered in a random country, to protect a massive sex trafficking, child-raping pedophile from facing justice.

Also send Stephen Miller over there too, just for good measure. Let's see how much of a patriot he really is.

[-] beatnixxx@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

I agree with this sentiment with one correction: they will learn nothing. They never do.

Call me an old geezer, but I liked peace better when it didn't mean starting wars out of the blue and sending your troops to die in meaningless skirmishes.

So you are saying he is lying here? Who would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Based on my assumption that we live in the stupidest timeline, I predict that Trump will actually fulfill his promise to not put boots on the ground in Iran.

The Marines will instead be wearing crocs.

Beyond "because Israel wants it" and "to distract from the Epstein files", what's the supposed benefit to the US for doing this?

The US has learned nothing from Iraq and Vietnam.

They're gonna fall for one of the classic blunders, never get involved in a land war in asia. Only slightly less well known is never get involved with a pedo when Epstein files are on the line.
