    US soldiers in Iraq didn’t just steal with impunity and without any shame, they didn’t just fight an unjust and murderous war against an innocent population based on nothing but lies, they also ran well organized rings for child kidnapping, rape and sexual slavery for twenty years on multiple US bases.

      Hmmmm…

      Fuck US imperialism, obviously, but these are pretty heavy claims. Got any proof ?

          Iran seems to live in la-la land. They leave their scientists and military leaders openly vulnerable.

          They won’t resist a full-on air, ground, and sea operation. Israel will get what it wants and the prince whatever his face also.

            The geography alone will prove problematic. And even if they lose, that doesn’t mean we win. I say we, I mean “The United States.” It will be expensive, we won’t achieve our geopolitical objectives, we’ll alienate our allies, I seriously can’t think of what is actually in it for the US.

              we’ll alienate our allies

              That nuclear aircraft carrier and its escort has sailed. Probably to the Red Sea under orders from the real commander.

                I mean we’ll really alienate them. Y’all aren’t happy with us right now, because we’re acting a fool, but we aren’t out in the cold yet.

        … that the us seems keen on starting 9/10 times around the world, for some reason.
