One side had 300 billion in damage, had their leadership decapitated, lost all their large navy ships, and thousands of dead.
The other side got in one successful attack that killed a few people.
Only a Eurofag would have any problem figuring out who won.
Back in the day there were only a few channels so news had to cater to the average, centrist person.
Still lied, Watergate for instance, but ironically people back then were actually better informed than almost anyone today. Only people today that actively try to find the whole truth are better informed.
So boomers kind of got the rug pulled out from under them.
No, dude, it's nuts that you would claim that NO ONE got killed when it's actually 13 (not 5 either). 13 is a different number than 0,
Oh god you're actually doing it.
In a war the difference between 6 total dead from the enemy and 0 is zero.
What a clown.
You're just stringing words together now.
Counting some mechanical failures and accidents is like saying people died of covid instead of with covid - it wasn't Iran that did it. You're up in arms whether it was 0 or 5 that died? That's nuts.
We rescued a guy inside their territory and took no losses except from mechanical failure.
You guys have completely lost the plot here.
What defenses? And what have they exactly destroyed, other than such anti-air as Iran had?
As I mentioned, they had advanced defenses from Russia and China. Iran was a modern army.
We decapitated their entire leadership, could fly over their country any time we wanted, and took I think zero casualties doing it. This is the reality.
You guys shouldn't live in a make-believe world. How does it help you to pretend.
There's not a win condition, it's win-win. Or maybe win-win-win.
We demonstrated that America can completely destroy a modern military with advanced Russian and Chinese defenses.
We tilted the global economics in our favor, where every dollar we were spending more in gas I'd say was two dollars into the country (probably an underestimate..).
We've repositioned other ME countries toward US and against Iran, and will be selling more weapons to them.
And Trump has re-established madman status giving the US much more negotiating power.
...it's not only wins, for instance we lost a couple planes, but I'll let others make that case.
edit: oh no one-line rage replies, truth really hit a nerve
It's just sociopathy and it's as old as time. Whenever a sociopath interacts with you it's to press buttons to make you do something.
It shows up in liberals so much because of 'performative' fake emotions and rituals required by their ideology. In essence they are cosplay sociopaths.
I think it's a better way to look at it because it explains their other actions; for example, it's completely logical to stop ICE from deporting a cold blooded killer not because they have empathy for the guy or want killers here but for the personal reward they get from it.
It seems like the zeitgeist is Israel will take a big hit to their image for violating it right away (Trump already furious with Bibi, Americans turning on Israel, other countries wanting oil).
So I give it like a week to a month.
You left out a couple parts:
- Elon slashed 90% of employees and huge amounts overhead.
- 2nd tier advertisers replaced the Jew walkout ones.
X wasn't going bankrupt, that's based on if they had the pre-decimation operating costs and no new advertisers. And who would try to convince you their advertiser walkout worked? Well, the Jews would.
If X was actually going bankrupt Elon would have had Tesla buy a billion dollars of ads. That's consistent with past behavior of using Telsa to bail out Solar City, SpaceX buying xAI, and so on even down to SpaceX buying a bunch of Teslas to juice a quarter's numbers.
Another Musk company bailout didn't even happen with X because it wasn't necessary.
Either Jews own Elon or they own you by convincing of this theory. And one's a lot more likely than the other.
Both sides liked classic Trek and Next Gen because the authors wrote both sides of the issues.
For example in The Pegasus, Picard upholds the treaty that prevents cloaking because the Federation gets trust and cooperation by honoring its word, while Pressman is totally correct that it's the stupidest agreement they ever made - the writers even name it the Treaty of Algeron, which is not coincidentally a single letter from Algernon, the mouse that was temporarily super smart but soon tragically lost all his intelligence. Just like how the treaty seemed smart at the time and by Pressman's time had become moronic.
In The Wounded, Picard turns a blind eye to all the evidence that the Kardasians are preparing to attack the Federation - the high energy shielding on cargo ships, the militarily strategic location, ships with no transponders - even though at the end we see that he only acted dumb on orders from Starfleet to preserve the peace when he doesn't offer reparations for the dead but rather a 'you fucked around and found out' message. The writers ensured we knew that the "rogue" captain was actually correct in everything he said: the Kardasians were arming, starfleet didn't know what was going on, the bureaucracy wouldn't act in time, lives were at stake, he did have to act now, he did prevent war (or at least delay it).
Both of these guys while officially portrayed as the 'bad guy' were also completely justified and correct from a utilitarian point of view. In new trek they would just be cartoon bad guys.
I was just talking genetic predisposition.
By reducing enforcement of law and order to get 'better' numbers liberals have created monsters out of blacks that should and could be normal by making them live around the worst people.
If you have a Caramello Anthony-type in the house, or next door your entire life you're going to become like a disgusting brown candy yourself out of necessity. Doesn't mean they aren't bad dudes, but they didn't need to be.
Genetically there's more problem blacks than other groups (around 5% vs 0.1%), so blind justice will have unequal outcomes with many more blacks in prison (or speeding tickets, other negative consequences).
But liberals are science-deniers believing in their ridiculous blank slate theory.
They try to make 1:1 outcomes so they put a black guy with 50 arrests out there to fuck up everything around him for decades when he should have been in prison for decades probably before even that first arrest.
On the flip side to make positive outcomes 1:1 they ensure that any black you see professionally it's a safe bet that they're worthless and incompetent.
Liberals have been wildly successful at creating more racism than even colonial times.
I think it's desperation.
They have an irrational fear of being nuked by Iran, they know any peace will have Iran secretly making nukes (which is easier every year), so they lash out to prevent that even though it's self-destructive behavior; the modern Left would nuke Israel themselves if they could, and Right support is waning.
It's so obviously a bad idea to turn their last bastion of support against them, but they're not thinking rationally.
Seems the principals were prominent at classic BioWare, one when it was in his garage.
On the other hand, Wizards of the Coast, talking Earth animals, female human version of Wrex, "Jun" so it's the same given name with male or female protagonist...
My prediction is the story will be decent, but not notable, and infested with gay bear-sex sidequests.
China handicapping models makes their country stronger (less Tiananmen-type division, more cohesion) and America handicapping models makes America weaker (woke bs, pitting groups against each other, promoting victim mentality).
Even if America wins it loses.
