    I mean, how many empires have passed through Persia, through that area? How many conflicts has that civilization endured? I’m not trying to hype myself up but, like, Iranians are fighting in home turf with thousands of years of military knowledge of their own terrain, against a hegemon that’s mobilized from half way across the globe. They must have something up their sleevse

      The hubris of the burger reich is truly astounding. They really think they can just waltz in and destroy a whole civilization that’s thousands of years old.

        There’s been a massive bot campaign across social media to convince people that US and Israel are winning big time.

        Anyone that can put 2 and 2 together knows it’s not true. But the propaganda is necessary, because that’s all the US has left.

        Neoliberalism has hollowed out the US. It cannot keep up with economies not focused on maximizing profits.

        Also, imagine, if Iran is doing this to the US, what would China do. They could probably destroy all of NATO in less than a month if they wanted.
