I wonder if they understand how much this tanks the hero's likability? Same issue with the D&D movie.

The working theory is that everyone in politics is a moron, they rely on the industries telling them what to do, and the industry of course told them it's no big deal.

This is actually correct. MSoft is too valuable to be foreign owned. Trump should seize control as a matter of national defense.

Replacing huwhites with pajeets should be actionable under civil rights/disparate impact.

But it won't be.

the punishment for nearly all felonies should be (and used to be) death. We used to kill people for stealing a horse, worth around 500$ in today's money.

Imagine a world that liquidated all car thieves. Instant 1000% improvement with zero downside.

Feels like we're in a time travel story where the protagonist finds no amount of fiddling with events will avert WW3.

The F-18s lost to the Houthis were results of carrier mishaps, not defensive maneuvering in flight

So they say... You know it took years to learn the truth about Kara Hultgreen right?

My theory on all of this: Israel is using US planes as human shields.

Trump probably told Iran, look, you're getting bombed and that's that. You can shoot down any of the Israel planes you want. Go ahead and try. But there will be US planes too. You better not hit ours. If a US plane has an engine failure, crashes into a mountain, you get invaded. 200k soldiers up your ass. So you better not shoot anything down.

It's not like they can tell the difference between US and Israeli planes (they're the same planes!) It's too much risk to shoot a US plane down, so they let them all go.

Bend over, take the bombs, make some concessions, it will all be over soon. But if you don't want more than bombs, don't try anything funny.

My evidence for this is the fact that the Houthis successfully chased away the US navy using 1/10th the resources and firepower. It turns out US pilots are not combat capable. When someone fires an AA missile even vaguely in their direction, they panic and crash.

Iran is a way bigger country, with way more AA defenses. Yes Israel claimed they knocked them all out. 100%? For a week? Really? I have doubts. More like Iran isn't risking shooting down any US planes. They know they can survive the bombing, they are trying to avoid a full war.

Israel will try to get that war however.

To play devil's advocate, you are right, he has been consistently anti-Iran, and in his first term he did some stuff that Israel really liked such as killing the general and moving the embassy.

Doesn't change how stupid this current action is, nor does it change the fact that 30 million criminals have invaded and aren't being marched out at bayonet point.

Trump was always the least bad option, like most political choices. It was pretty much organized looting vs pure chaos looting. In some respects Trump is worse because he'll forestall the end of the system a bit longer.

But Iran invasion = death of America. 100%.

Last piece of the Roman fort. The Romans demolished the temple completely.

Fun fact: the Shahs are descended from a Cossack general who siezed power and formed a military dictatorship, ruling Iran with an iron fist while selling the country out to the british and later american empires.

They rebelled against this. That's who we're trying to get back in.
