When this is all over Iran is going to have way more, and way more formalized, control over that strait than it ever did before this Epstein-distraction war ever started.
The USA is really good at losing wars, but this loss is going to be epic.
True. They’ve managed to out-spend the entire rest of the world militarily while not fighting any “wars” and still lose at every sneaky evil thing they send their military to do, despite murdering 60+ innocent civilians for every soldier they lose.
So maxed out spending, 60:1 K/D ratio, no wars, still lost every fight.
Just like every other war the USA has been involved in for the past 80 years.
Not to mention they are for sure going to finish making their nukes now.
Good. The world needs to be rid of superpowers altogether. Yes, China is ascendant right now. But they too will fall in time.
I absolutely love this for them. I’m glad they’re hitting the USA as hard as they are. Laughed out loud when I saw the E3 broken in half.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Say goodbye to your world superpower status, ya morons.
As a Canadian, I’m glad they’re running out of ammo before they turn north.
He has won it and ended it completely at least (checks notes) 17 times now! Nobody has ever ended the same war that many times in all of history!
The USA spends more tax dollars per capita on health care than any other country. And then people have to buy insurance and pay out of pocket on top of that.
If the USA just magically cloned any public healthcare system in the world they would save billions in tax dollars and insurance and out-of-pocket health costs would disappear.
If all the resources we spent blowing shit up and killing innocent people had been put to good use instead, we would be in a Star Trek-esque post-scarcity society by now. Possibly on our way to being Kardashev type 1 society.
It can’t fully displace jobs because it’s super unreliable and makes tons of errors all the time. But it can do some tasks well if you know how to handle it.
Still not worth anywhere near what it costs, either to the user, the CAPEX investment, society or the planet.
Lost Korea.
Lost Vietnam.
Lost Iraq.
Lost Afghanistan.
Is in the process of losing Iran.
The USA hasn’t won a war since 1945, despite spending more on their military than the whole rest of the world and being constantly at war the whole time and having the best tech by a long shot.
Losing that much with all those advantages isn’t “might”. It’s incompetence.
Why even bother mentioning the US in the headline? They’re irrelevant.
Meanwhile at a Stellantis boadroom:
“Why are these Chinese cars selling so well? Maybe we can get out market share back with an 800-hp piece of shit rattlecan that has the build quality and comfort of a wet fart.”
US won’t even have a cultural legacy like France does. Hot dogs, Jersey Shore, and Las Vegas don’t hold a candle to Crème Brulée, Rénoir, et Montmartre.
Lost already. When half your country doesn’t believe in the basic process of science and the dominant political force has been doing everything it can for 50 years to kill education, you tend to lose the edge in innovation. Heck, even the research that does still happen in the US is more and more being conducted by immigrants.
The lead is gone, has been gone for a long time, and is not coming back.
That submarine imploded under the unbearable weight of a billionaire’s hubris. The world got ever so slightly better that day.
Is there a way to convince more billionaires that 3rd-rate carbon fiber is a great building material for compression-loaded pressure vessels?
Who fucking cares at this point? No deal with that moron is worth anything. Give him nothing. Because he’s going to slap whatever imaginary bullshit on whomever he pleases no matter what they do. Let his stupid threats be what they are - a syphyllitic old man pissing into the wind.
