    They still don’t have any plan, or even coherent excuse for being there… But they spent time coming up with a dumb ass grade school edgelord level nickname for their illegal war…

    It’s more like “Operation White Flag”. Strategically, this ends in a major loss for the USA. The only winning move was not to play . . as every other US President since Jimmy Carter was smart enough to understand. The 2 remaining choices are: commit the entire DOD to a ground invasion of the Iran homeland . . or lose. And there is no sign the DOD is ramping up for a ground war.

      I think the fascist’s assumption is that things can’t get much worse for them, so they might as well make their enemies suffer more as well:

      “We can’t take a bigger L than we already have, so by doubling down we can outlast Iran and the rest of the world. Even though we’ll have to deal with increased energy costs and a worsening economy, many other nations will be hit harder as we have enough domestic production. Our domestic oil exec buddies can even sell for a profit at high prices. The November elections can’t get any worse for us and our base will never truly falter, so now might be time to pivot towards rigging elections and nullifying Congress!”

      Of course, things absolutely can get worse for America, as a prolonged closure will cause every nation on earth to totally abandon the US. Our economy can absolutely go into a deep depression if something else goes wrong, and the ripple effects from that could be monumental.

      WHAT IF WE CALL IT… JACKHAMMER?

      Think about it Billy, a jackhammer is like a sledge hammer but it moves by itself!

      It’s totally awesome.

      Hey, want to come over to my house to play? We have Caprisons and my moms working late so we can play Nintendo 64.

    You could have a steam train

    If you just lay down your tracks

    You could have an aeroplane flying

    If you didn’t park it within range of the drones.
