    Nah this isn’t Hollywood, America stopped winning wars after WW2 nor are they capable of bringing change to invaded countries or maintaining control. All they do is bloat the wallets of the rich and politicians and destroy shit. Increasingly seen as weak and stupid, driven by greed and incompetence. The rest of the world isn’t Japan pre-WW2 anymore. If rice farmers and goat herders can’t be conquered, neither will nations with modern armies. Nukes are commonplace now, stop living in the past… Iran sure as fuck isn’t nervous

      That’s such a hilariously bad take.

      Iran sure as fuck isn’t nervous

      Man, the US inevitably failing to secure their poorly defined objective is very different from Iran not getting hurt. Thousands are dead. An immense amount of infrastructure has been destroyed.

      Iran has not meaningfully hurt the US.

      It’s one thing to observe that the current US leadership huffed a bit too much of their own propaganda and forgot that allies have actually been a big reason previous stuff has gone well, and another to act like Iran is in a perfectly fine place with the current situation.
