As others said, the anti-communists of the past were much more competent and created the state apparatus that can have any idiot pilot it while suppressing the left. We are just at the point where the idiots are piloting it.

Him being so outwardly angry with Israel and not as much on Iran must mean behind the scenes Iran is being pretty reasonable and Israel, like we all know, is not

Im so sorry

Seems like a lose lose for them

I think something similar happened in San Francisco where the cops just refused to do their jobs because they were unhappy with the DA, and eventually he got recalled

Companies are supposed to eat the tariffs according to Trumponomics

Soo is he getting a slap on the wrist?

And he had a cool hat

Its really too bad the soviet union didnt last long enough that it couldve been around while the empire is in full decline. At the same time, maybe this decline wouldnt have happened had it been around.

Well, on the bright side wars can start revolutions

I just hate that people buy the narrative that we need to penny pinch to the point where you cant take a day off otherwise the American economy is going to explode. Pretty sure if 100% of the bullshit jobs went away and people got paid the same as if they had them, our economy wouldnt be any different

I mean alot of them are petty bourgeois small business owner tyrants and might even work during holidays so they probably want everyone at their level

In my experience people think im unconditionally for Russia if I make any criticism of Ukraine

There will be tremendous bloodshed, no doubt, it’ll be horrific

This is exactly what im pessimistic about

Jesus this sounds terrible.

Ive been very pessimistic about Iran. They are up on their own against the US empire. Maybe Pakistan can deter them? Idk

Healthcare plan is also coming in two weeks

Yea i think youre right. Hegseth is just there as a yes man, and I dont think he considered that he would need an actually competent secretary of defense because he probably genuinely thought he could end the wars overseas. And you can see there is the MAGA base that doesnt want war with Iran, which some have pointed out here, is because they want to use the military at home.

The material reality contradicts with Trump’s ambitions, and the US cannot become isolationist

Material conditions always prevail

Yea, reading the article above I also wonder how much involvement Israel had in the skirmish between Pakistan and India. Pakistan surely sees them as a threat and they must be doing the mental calculus of what would happen to them if Iran were to fall

I did feel Iran was doomed since the entire west is going to back Israel, and perhaps even get involved directly. But if Pakistan comes to Iran’s help, that would definitely change things.

I guess Pakistan realizes the value of Iran as an ally when they too are facing an enemy in India. I actually dont know and am just speculating. I was always under the impression that the current pakistan was obedient to the US

Trump had said last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours agreed to the ceasefire after talks mediated by the US, and that the hostilities ended after he urged the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

I love Trump’s brain

: And then i told them, dont do war, focus on trade. And then they said wow, youre so right
