Men will literally volunteer to fight in a foreign legion in Ukraine, shit themselves after the first air strike, and immediately run to Poland instead of going to therapy…

@trouble_man90 it did and they kinda are

The tent is big, it’s just not big enough to include “America deserved 9/11” and “Jews are inbred”. And it never will be

You can decline to lift a finger against the Israelis for your entire career and help them accomplish decades long goals and stand there and salute their aircraft while they obliterate all your air defense systems and a year or two later they'll be issuing public demands for your murder and referring to you as the head of the snake. There's a lesson there for those auditioning for shabbos goyhood.

doesn't seem right

In a rare moment of honesty, zionists are admitting that they hate antizionists because we "oppose all genocide." That's good, actually.

I’m just curious how did the war begin

Yes Roman Helmet Guy, that is how “war” works. Congratulations. Just an unimaginably stupid account.

Oh my god

@WaywardRabbler when you can jump on a sinking ship (NATO) how could you pass up the opportunity?

"Finlandization" may have been somewhat hard on national pride, but it was one of the most successful foreign policies pursued by a small state in the modern era and their girlboss government gave it up for no good reason when Russia was much less threatening than the USSR

A major problem for America is that Americans refuse to believe, conceptually, that defeat can happen. And if it does happen, they assume it must be due purely to boneheaded or cowardly politicians, or a weak-willed public. This unwillingness to accept that some wars simply cannot be won runs deep in the American collective psyche. It allows various political factions to constantly “fall back” to the same excuse whenever their foreign misadventures go wrong. The refrain always becomes: “Well, we didn’t really COMMIT!” or “We didn’t go ALL IN!” The assumption is that any obvious loss was merely the result of a lack of will, not a lack of ability to achieve the stated goal. This mindset is partly the result of America’s relatively young and “childish” national character. As a society with a short history, America has a short memory. For much of its early existence, as the sole great power in the Western Hemisphere, the United States largely avoided the kind of complicated, protracted conflicts that require deft diplomacy and realistic negotiation. Most older, more mature civilizations understand that the world must be shared, because the cost of demanding total victory on every issue is extremely high and rarely worth it. Only Children demand to get their way all the time every time. From its founding in 1776 (and even during the earlier colonial period), America experienced a series of decisive victories in which the United States was able to dictate terms completely: the Mexican-American War, the various wars with Native American tribes, the Spanish-American War, and the Civil War all ended in absolute American victory, with the U.S. getting essentially everything it demanded. World War I was at least a clear military victory, though the U.S. did not get everything it wanted. World War II was a total victory, and America largely achieved its objectives, especially against Japan. It was only after 1945, as America became deeply involved in conflicts and meddling across Africa and Eurasia, that the U.S. began encountering intractable situations that required genuine diplomatic skill and the ability to negotiate. This is when the familiar “cope” emerged: “We totally could have won, but we never do because… well, just BECAUSE!” This narrative persists largely because American politicians struggle to explain why the various foreign adventures keep turning into expensive disasters, complete with blow-back, uncertain outcomes, and so many loose ends that they can hardly be called worthwhile. Americans have never truly learned how to negotiate earnestly or how to live alongside powers they cannot simply boss around and dictate to. To many Americans, every adversary is just another Native American tribe, someone you can engage in bad-faith negotiations with, betray later, or ultimately overpower and impose your will upon. Diplomacy from America more looks like the sort of stalling and leverage jockeying from a cop; with no intention of honoring any deal. I suppose America COULD in theory conquer Iran, it might need somewhere over a million man army, the absolute commitment of the entire US population, acceptance of a draft, stomach for potentially absurd losses in a difficult invasion and occupation of a highly mountainous country twice the size of Texas and in the age of drone warfare this will be absurdly expensive in blood and treasure. Every mountain pass and valley will be paid for in blood as the Russo-Ukraine war shows, turtle strategy is in again with drones. But to what ends would we do this? To reopen a Strait? One that was open before we elected to attack Iran? To make Iranians like us and stop saying they don't like us? To make its leaders put their forehead on that Wall in Jerusalem? Plus the time it would take to assemble the million man army to take on Iran, the world economy can't wait that long while the Hormuz is death gripped by Persian rage. You are talking three to six months until you have the manpower, a year until that manpower is fairly well trained and then the question of where to stage this army for an invasion is another matter, point is this is fantasy land. Real fact is, there was never a point to this war, never an achievable political goal, never one that bombs could achieve or cheeky spy ops, this required actual diplomacy and it will require deft diplomacy to get us out of this disaster because the costs of trying to "Subjugate Iran" are simply absurd and beyond the ability of America to pay.

Yes, I think progressives do not understand just how much they have morally failed every second since October 7th. You took the victims of rape, kidnapping, and murder and turned them into the oppressors. You listened to a literal terrorist propaganda until you marched outside of a holocaust museums in lock step with a murderous death cult. Every single day you wake up and show American Jews you do not give a shit about them. You have no idea just how much you have alienated our Jewish friends and neighbors. It will take at least two generations before some of them trust us again.

it’s important that Philly only ever has one team in each sport because this kind of discussion would inevitably lead to the Delaware Valley version of the Yugoslav Wars.

We had to sacrifice Christianity in Syria for Israel’s security. No big deal.
