They still support. They just don't have any quips to say when the economy has so obviously gone bad.
It's wild, man. For like twenty years I was arguing with anyone who would listen that going to war with Iran would be a really shitty idea. And yet I'm not very satisfied to have been proven right.
Krasnov's conception of strength follows Project 2025 and whatever the damn Muscovites want him to do.
The cost of all that - is not soaked up by staff of military, or private firms or by politicians. The costs are passed on to citizens. Every plane down, or fuel burnt is paid for by public money..
What happened, did a bomb hit them mid sentence?
As one put it: “This is major damage to our ba... BOOOM!!
That made me chuckle too. A fine example of unintentional humour.
Even without the leaks, and because it's trump, everyone already assumes heinous shit is occurring.
Ha! The stroke picture!
imagine raising a kid for 18 years only to have him/her go overseas and get blown up in the most pointless bullshit war in history. for the purpose of making a whiny weak loser con man reality tv failure look like he's tough
To me, donnie was always just a washed-up never-was with a big mouth. A rapey and racist failson. And that's before he was given that reality TV show.
He's only devolved since.
Trump was washed up in the 80s and the butt of jokes. Bloom County roasted him for a year, transplanting his brain into a cocaine addicted cat.

Even worse, Trump's doing the bidding of a genocidal foreign leader who had been trying to get the US to do this for decades. Trump was the only president ignorant and gullible enough to fall for it

this goes hard!
idk why they put a blury picture of an old loser as the articles picture instead of the actual news
Undated photo of plane damaged by Iranian strikes at Prince Sultan AFB, Saudi Arabia
Damaged lol
How many AWACS do the US forces have?
One less now.
We'll just buy more, what can they cost, like 10 dollars?
How many health cares is this plane?
Yes
The AI safety talk this week is meant from distracting from both the failure in Iran, and inaction in resolving (just leave in great victory mission accomplished speech). Simultaneously lowers Bond villain AI as a divisive midterm issue, even when GOP calls them "the same woke left who warned against global warming and covid" is not necessarily a winning mid term strategy for GOP, but may be less bleeding than talking about Iran failure. I still expect "mission accomplished withdrawal" after mid terms. You need collapsing energy and bond prices now to avoid debating Trump/Iran failure.
The only response we are going to get from the administration is to go after the soldiers who leaked the photos... all the while calling the pics 'fake news'
It was never supposed to be successful in the first place. Trump and his merry band of criminals already got exactly what they wanted out of this.
He’s on record stating he doesn’t give a shit about what people are going through because of the war, the tarriffs, or any of his schemes designed to line his pockets.
And avoid his degeneracy being truly known. That is his biggest motivator. The "trump/epstein" brand is here to stay. We just need to put out all of his deflecting fires beforehand.
The war just needs to last until the midterms
This war isn't going away for years. The empire won't admit they lost, they won't double down, and they can't destroy Iran as is.
I suspect the plan is for the war to disappear after the midterms. Whether Iran will agree to this is something completely different.
I mean, what little plan there was seemed to honestly think they'd get Venezuela pt 2.
Instead, they've now lost the Middle East, and all the data I'm seeing seems to suggest Iran is as strong militarily as when they started, while the US has destroyed years of production and shown the world it's a paper tiger with gold plated betamax machines.
Considering how much the US makes selling arms overseas, that's a business problem as well as a military one now.

The price of Russian oil is all that really matters. It doesn't look like it's going to even help them though. That and getting the Abraham Lincoln away from the Baltic.
The extremely non strategic retreat from the Middle East is kind of wild though. I'd have thought Trump was the very definition of blood for oil.
It does seem like they've gotten away with six months more than they expected to.
A mostly complacent media not willing to ask tough questions is part of the problem of why we don't hear about this stuff as much as we should be.
The media isn’t complacent, it is cowed / controlled by Trump supporting billionaires. To call them merely complacent is flattery.
he just won't pay American blood for oil. Iranian kids, no problem.
These are the kind of idiots who think they can win a fight by just wildly swinging their arms in every direction. Meanwhile, the opponent just keeps his distance, takes a few easy swings when there's an opportunity, and waits for the Idiot to wear himself out. Then the opponent steps in a finishes the job. Or maybe the Idiot just falls down out of sheer exhaustion.
Either way, we're the Idiot.

When I close my eyes and fantasize, I see punishments with extreme prejudice ruining the life of every piece of shit Senator who voted yes to confirm Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.
I just want him to shit himself as he succumbs to cholesterol poisoning on live TV.
Iran has one percent of the US’s military budget and they are kicking the state’s ass with it.
Wasn't Iran's military complete destroyed like a year ago as well? According to the white house of course.
