    So powerful they couldn’t even handle fucking IRAN…

    All they managed to do was prove that, much like Russia, they are completely unprepared for the type of asymmetric warfare taking place in the modern world. Numbers don’t mean shit anymore. They only lost 12 soldiers and STILL lost. it’s a new world. Has been for a long time. America still thinks troop numbers and money spent actually matter.

    This will be fun if the fuckwits start bashing Israel and get charged for breaking the laws they inacted.

      If that was the end result of this war Israel more or less started, it would be just too good. I don’t know if I could handle that after Ukraine starting to bomb Moscow and US losing to Iran.

    Lol, this aint gonna go too well for vance.

    Sucking up to his boss for protection is clearly the angle here. Must be real scared because the base is blaming him instead of the guy in charge. I wonder if the lapdog reputation will so easily go away once the cult of personality isn’t around anymore, after all by 80 years old we all know our days are numbered. Israel has a lot of US politicians in their pocket and doesn’t care about the cult beyond how they can use it.

        That’d be nice it it were true. Based on the resurfacing of evil scumbags from previous administrations decades later, I doubt it. Not unless the US grows a sack and goes Nuremberg 2.0 on the fuckers. I’m not optimistic about that.

          Well if I was running against any of them, I’d just remind the public every time possible about the disastrous war they lost.

          Then again, not all important positions are elected and some voters are really really fucking stupid, so it might be too much to hope for.

      Exactly. Literally nothing they say matters, it’s the actions that will tell all.

      The saying goes that JD Vance already toppled Orban and killed the Pope.

      If I were Netanyahu, I’d hide in my Hitler bunker to avoid him. Perhaps lure him into a Palestinian zone and send a few drones his way.

      Or if Netanyahu is the fall of Trump and Vance by releasing all that blackmail they got regarding Epstein. Let’s hope they eat each other.
