Raccooon posted:What the hell is the US doing at this point? Just air striking the Iraqi Military now? I don't see a coherent goal at this point other than lets just gently caress everything up. You see Iraq are just puppets of the Iranians now. We're liberating the country from the jackboot of Persian tyranny.

Throw temper tantrum, blows up what's left of US credibility in the ME, and sets back all their foreign policy goals in the region.

Couldn't even get fully out of Syria. Plus the neocons know if they leave a few thousand troops in Iraq they might get Iran to do a Beirut Barracks attack which lets them kick off the actual war they want. I honestly think we're going to park a few thousand troops inside some bases while an entire country tries to rip them apart. Just disaster time stuff.

i imagine a lot of countries can tolerate a guantanamo military base situation, but probably not when the military is sortieing out of that base to bomb your country lmao

quote:Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Friday introduced legislation that would block funding for any offensive military force in or against Iran without prior congressional authorization. I guess the full Hellworld outcome here is that Sanders & Khanna's bill passes, and then congress authorizes funding anyway.

They blew up the wrong car either because they're incompetent or because they have such contempt for Arab lives that they decided a 50/50 shot to either blow up some guy we declared a terrorist at lunchtime or some medics was worth it at this point everyone who is remotely suspected of being a spy is being fed false info about vip movements to see where missiles land

Knowing Pelosi she'll require that it passes at the same time and includes a letter thanking Trump for his leadership (but it'll have some big words in there so resistance twitter can say it's epic shade)

Darth Walrus posted:The genuinely terrifying question, though, is how Trump would handle a serious military defeat. He can escalate harder than anyone else on Earth, and I'm not sure there's anyone willing and able to talk him down. A series of defeats by a nuclear power is basically the nightmare scenario that leads to the use of nuclear weapons. I'm not sure that Iran could give Trump the kind of defeats where he would feel aggrieved enough to order their use, but uh, if you'd have asked me yesterday if what happened today could happen, I'd probably have said no, so uh...well, good luck everybody.

surely there's a sane chain of command that would prevent an insane escalation to using nuclear weapons because a president and his neocon administration feel humiliated on the world stage *laughs in hellworld*

Trump is going to fuckin nuke anybody. There's not a chance he even knew who Suleimani was until yesterday. He was almost definitely just pissed off about the embassy stuff, demanded revenge, and the lizards in his inner circle used it as an excuse to go settle some scores

Personal fan theory is that he genuinely believes the "it's to prevent wars" angle and he's just too stupid to see why that is stupid
