X to doubt, CNN/Brett McGurk.
Like, sure:
Wars are contests of leverage and endurance. And the contest now looks very different from even a few months ago.
But there’s no real foundation given for why Iran is more exhausted than America. Yes, more is going through the straight of Hormuz, and Iran’s still isn’t a global economic power. But, America is mostly out of weapons, and had no public support in the first place.
The language about how Iran “chose” to attack shipping is also pretty gross. It’s technically true, but the US chose to start this war, so it’s not like it was unexpected, unjustified or arbitrary. There’s also a part that’s basically “we can do it if we just believe”.
This bit is totally right, though:
A better American strategy from the start may have been an economic campaign to support the Iranian people demanding change.
Great and interesting points. Thanks for the comment!
Delusional
I really hate the premise that this is a “war” when it’s actually the continuation of at least a century of imperial aggression against Iran.
edit: Did OP get banned from lemmy.world for this? Typical.
Naw I got banned from News for a small argument.
Though this is a continuation of aggression, this is Iranians people’s only hope for true freedom no?
“Oil is flowing” they say while our emergency oil reserves are at an all time low. “They will have a missile logistics problem” they say while our own missiles are practically depleted. “It’s about endurance” as our sailors try to kill themselves. It’s existential for Iran, they are not going to surrender.
American life is still better than Iranian life
American casualties are still lower than Iranian
I do agree with everything you posted though, especially the oil reserves. Do you find it funny that the oil markets freaked out during Biden presidency and the Russian war but today markets are calm and rational as we suck our reserves dry? Shit has to be rigged!
I find it funny the Americans still think they are on top because of their relative “quality of living” to an impoverished state. May the century of humiliation commence!
In the US quality of living is only true for a rich minority, same as in the Iran or any other capitalist/religious dictatorship country where the bills for the stupidity of the leaders are paid by the people, never by the elites.
Well show me another country where I can afford to drive for 100 miles everyday, eat 3 meat meals every day and be free to go to an open air gun range at sunset?
Checkmate librul 😂 /s
Canada. Plus when you find out you got your sister pregnant again, she can see a doctor for free.
Checkmate, conservatard.
Canada is still a settler-colonial imperialist state, to be clear.
Oh Canada!

same feeling
No, North Vietnam is not winning
Even if true, that’s not necessarily a win for the US. This is the type of act that could result in a 9/11 scale terrorist attack. This will have generational effects. Even if Iran unconditionally surrenders, the US has already lost.
Yup the propaganda machine is printing full speed though
Why are you spreading the propaganda?
It is funny to see the west coping
Freedom of speech baby 😂😂
TBH I wanted to harvest comments/sentiment of the community compared to reddit
So you are an attention seeking masturbator?
I don’t see the issue, maybe the OP could have a disclaimer that they’re not supporting the propaganda. I personally also enjoy seeing people talk about obvious propaganda and dismantling it. After all, the memes that baits out liberals also tends to bring a lot of discussion with a lot of sources to back them, helps educate people!
It is was obvious Trump would be bad yet ton of people was duped. Hell even the dumbest conspiracy theories like Earth is flat has ten millions of believers. He shares a propaganda piece without debunking it
The majority of this instance would never fall for obvious US propaganda. There’s plenty of educated people that aren’t biased towards western sentiment and the admins and moderators would not tolerate any liberalism. World News isn’t the best place to share it though I guess, since it’s just Amerika coping real, real hard.
You do understand that this site is for gathering reactions and getting new perspectives on things? Reddit and Lemmy are excellent tools on gathering public sentiment! Plus I like the engagement
Not by spreading propaganda and rage baiting
IT’S A FUCKING NEWS ARTICLE
LOL, newsflash; this site at least knows it’s propaganda the rest of the population thinks it’s news! Like I said I’m impressed with Lemmy because y’all see right through the BS. Unlike reddit, where it’s far more mixed.
Don’t forget, if we don’t know what the enemy is saying we will not know how to respond. Read the damn propaganda to know how to respond to it, unless you fear you’ll fall for it yourself?
Maybe this is the plan, first get stuck in a war against an old enemy some time before midterm elections, fake a terrorist attack on US soil, Trump suspends elections and sends a nuke because he always wanted to. But first he tells his friends to short the market.
Lol
How are amazons data centers in the UAE doing?
Propaganda is back. I yes Iran is winning they avoided state collapse
