"Third worlder mindset" just gives me a disgusting feeling. These evil fucks are so arrogant, such supremacists that they can't see past their own noses. Every day that passes I wish to see these types of amerikkkans/westerners die in agony for their crimes against humanity.
Yea for real that line alone made me want to fucking punch this guy
Reads like "Hahaha stupid poors"
Bro got pricked and now he is leaking all that imperial arrogance, admitting that seeing destroyed American air power is a symbol of something larger. He misidentifies it as cope to cope with the truth that what he calls “third world mindset” is becoming “resisting American empire mindset”
Third world mindset is acting like they (the third world) are a team and guys like this motherfucker should be so terrified of the global south unifying that he wouldn’t even dare utter words in a parallel direction.
I think Iran capturing them would have been a win and a contributing factor toward the next step in the escalation trap, but it wouldn't have actually gained them leverage they don't already have. The main thing it would get them would be drawing in a slightly more disastrous rescue operation. Maybe they'd add a couple additional aircraft or a few more dead to their tally.
The US rescuing them is also a win that only buys them a single media cycle worth of positive news. This story will be replaced by Iran freely bombing more critical oil infrastructure by Tuesday. Losing two aircraft mutes the success, especially now that it seems like the heroic firefight didn't actually occur. They saved a weapons systems officer who can't do his job while gaining nothing material or strategic beyond that. Any goodwill it bought the administration with the military is offset by the amount of risk they were placed at in a war they're still losing the day after, and it's those things which drive the mutiny risk.
Certified Operation Eagle Claw Moment. Now Iran knows to arm every local police department and militia with MANPADs for the next plane they shoot down just as easily.
Unfortunately, Americans will never perceive their side is losing / has lost unless large swaths of United States civilians experience intense suffering or die as a result of the opponent's military actions.
The US / Western approach to war is essentially, "Whoever inflicts the most suffering is the winner, and whoever is made to suffer the most is the loser."
It's how Americans can still see themselves as the winners of the Vietnam War, for example.
Like genuinely, to many Americans Iran will be seen as the loser of this war unless they fucking nuke like a quarter of the US population into oblivion, or somehow did a fucking land invasion of the US and war-crimed the civilian population into submission.
EDIT: Also it's by definition not "scot free" if you lost two expensive planes to get back the guy, fuck I hate my fellow USians.
Valid. Osama Bin Laden killed 3000 people on 9/11, and the US responded by killing thousands of American soldiers, hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, wasted trillions of dollars and 20 years, all with literally zero positive outcome. Literally NOTHING changed.
DFI for Iraq changed. The "Development Fund for Iraq DFI via New York Fed"
Oil proceeds routed through USA.
got away scot free
Except all the planes and drones and helicopters that were fed into the IRGC wood chipper to retrieve a guy who shouldn't be there in the first place.
“History is written by the victors” mfs off to cheer for the biggest victors in history because they said so.
"Third worlder mindset" rich coming from the consumerist westerners whose countrymen are obsessed with all the useless new slop, from labubus to whatever else they can use to pollute the world further. Keep coping about your gas prices and falling hegemony.
On the pollution thing, there's a thing in the chud culture war sphere where they claim that "third world countries pollute more (with rubbish) than rich ones" without understanding anything about productive forces or who are the ones buying "third world" made products.
Pictures on social media of a burned skull in the cockpit of one of those planes. Don't think that's an Iranian, folks.
