World News@lemmy.ml•US preparing for potential weeks-long military campaign against Iran: Report
3·2 天前I don’t believe this is likely.
Your comparison with Venezuela here neglect just how vastly different the 2 situations are. Not only is Venezuela far weaker militarily, they are also far closer to the US and their only trade routes to Eurasia are by boat which the US navy can easily intercept. Meanwhile Iran is on the same continent as China and Russia’s immense supply chains and industrial bases, they have a huge industrial base of their own, they mostly make their own weapons, they have huge sea and land trade networks.
Between the western economies making it clear to the whole world that they are now a sinking ship and the fact that even if the US can somehow block the maritime routes between Iran and China, Iran would still have land roads that the US has no ability to blockade whatsoever; making such a deal would make no sense for Iran.
Yes, Iran would not win from a prolong fight with the US, but they not lose from it either, in fact they are likely able to sustain the attrition of that kind of fight for far longer than the US could, especially with Chinese and Russian supply chains being right there on the same continent as them.

6·2 天前The only way it would last only weeks is if the US navy gets repelled or destroyed without ever touching boots on Iranian soil. There is no scenario in which the war lasts only weeks and the US wins. One or both of these propositions necessarily has to be false.

3·2 天前The “I have X book but that doesn’t mean I agree with X” excuse only works if you have a good reason to have books on X even if you disagree with X. It’s an immediate red flag otherwise.

3·3 天前Well… Gamers, you know what to do.
:Trump: “The bourgeoisie, these very mean folks. Have you heard of them? Very mean folks. They steal the proletariat’s surplus values, these bourgeois they do that. They do that all the time, peoples have been saying it. They extract it by intensifying the rates of exploitation, this is a very bad thing to do but they do it anyway. Yes, they do. I’ve seen peoples talk about it. They say Why are we only payed a fraction of the value we produce?, That’s what folks have been talking about lately. They get only a small part of, only a tiny part of this very good, very nice surplus value, they aren’t given all of it. They make it but they don’t get it, and that’s bad, I’ve been saying it.”

Where did you quote that from?
Am I the only one for whom the image isn’t rendering?
another 10 years or so, and by that time Amerikkka will have already collapsed for a myriad of other reasons so maybe this entire post is pointless.

They do, but the libs never read it when linked.
I’ve been thinking since a while ago that we should make well sourced posts exposing the messed up stuff the US and Europe have done in bite-size formats, with further readings and stuff, and post them in places we know some liberals and peoples disillusioned with politics are likely to see them.
This sort of ridiculously ignorant takes unironically coming from them vindicates the idea I think.
You forgot the closing parenthesis on your image link
