this war was always going to end the minute the americans decided to go home. the only factor that prolonged it was the iranian boot on trumps throat, so he wasnt at liberty to go home until he conceded what they wanted. now that he has, it's done.
only a few more days...until more of the vampire lestat...
my hungry ass could never go whitewater rafting💀
one thing i enjoy (heavy sarcasm) about the israeli far right is their complete misestimation of israels military strength if it were by itself. you cant claim being "stabbed in the back" if youd get eaten for breakfast without the explicit support of the guy doing the stabbing
just total wishful thinking. as far as middle powers go, iran eclipses israel and its regional allies. this was always the U.S. war, them "holding back israel" (let's be clear, this also didn't happen) is a total nonfactor
the US shot all they had, ran out of steam, and lost. this is how the war would have always gone. anything israel did or didnt do in the meantime wouldnt have changed it
also, frankly, lmfao at the idea of kurdish militias overthrowing the iranian regime. this the same regime that held its own against the state of iraq for years and years (who at the time had military support by the entire west and a "let it rip" attitude towards chemical weapons)
i am now vaguely mad in the way that will ruin most of my workday and is, as i am being informed, also in the yellow-orange zone for terrorism
me 20 seconds ago: oh lol a content warning for sociologists what a good joke
me now: i should have listened to the content warning for sociologists
