So, all this disruption for things to stay the same in Iran. With the addition of the strait being closed, soaring prices, supply chains being messed up, among many other side effects.

Can we now call it by its real name: Epic Failure?

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 weeks ago

Things are not the same. The oil price is much higher and the US's reputation is even further in the shitter.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I fear that was the plan

[-] newton@feddit.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yep ,when shit hits the fan .....

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 weeks ago

The US just made a tollbooth for Iran, so not ex ante status quo.

Not to mention they are for sure going to finish making their nukes now.

Nah I like Operation Epstein Files much better. Better conveys why they did it and also what everybody should focus on.

We lost the minute Trump was elected.

[-] varnia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago

Fixed: You lost the minute you let this Pedo get elected, again. I mean seriously: twice.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

The previous comment could be read as: they lost when he was elected the first time. Which it's even more apt.

That implies you're done losing

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not really.

I mean, it's like a football season.

When someone says 'we lost' it's referring to that week.

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago
[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Now you're making my point for me

[-] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Just like every other war the USA has been involved in for the past 80 years.

And .....Again

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 44 points 2 weeks ago

They're trying to cheat the 60-days limit for use of force without congressional authorization. Nothing else has changed.

[-] Master167@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

“If we change the name of the operation, no one can accuse us of bypassing Congress.”

Hahahaha Mwahahaheeahahaha hahahaha

[-] rayyy@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Of course. The old orange pedophile is going to star a new and improved war for the next 60 days.

[-] stumu415@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

Does anyone actually knows what the objective was?

[-] jontree255@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

The objective(s):

  • Open the Straight of Hormuz and revert it to its previous state of “open”
  • Kill the ayatollah at the request of Israel
  • Give Israel cover to expand their genocide to Lebanon
  • Get the US media to stop talking about Epstein and the fact the president is a pedophile
  • Get the US media to stop talking about how ICE is terrorizing and killing Americans and Immigrants
  • Boost Trumps poll numbers by stating a war in the Middle East that no one wanted and that he campaigned against.
  • Raise gas prices so oil companies can make a ton of money while the average citizen eats the cost.
  • Give Pete Hegseth a hard on from all the murder he gets to order
  • Make Trump feel like a big strong “war president”

For Israel to annex southern Lebanon and to distract from the Epstein files.

They're probably planning to take all of Lebanon. See the map of greater Israel from Epstein's home

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Unrelated, but that photo looks like they're in some evangelical church waving their hands in the air, praising Jesus, while Oral Hobbits up there works them into a frenzy.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

looks more like trump doing the wierd accordian hands that rubio picked up

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Is a medal to be struck for this war?

Yes, for the Iranians.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The next Dem admin should bring meaning back to these names:

  • Operation Kegsbreath
  • Operation TACO
  • Operation Dumb Blondie
  • Operation Concepts of a Plan
[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago
