QuoteIt goes against the narrative that Iran has been crippled by the barrage of American/Israel airstrikes.
Anything that goes against their narrative of total annihilation is an admission of defeat because the 'regime' is still in power and the straight is closed. Defeat will not be admitted. Trump always blames someone else. But since there is nobody else to blame, Trump has to frame what has happened so far as a smoking awesome victory or man up. Trump manning up to anything is like asking for rain on a sunny day. And that also goes for anyone bewitched by his greatness. Doubling down is Trumps only viable survival strategy. Trump is going to double down our asses into a nuclear winter.
As RE has pointed out. Multiple airstrikes on bases yesterday, and America loses no soldiers. It is hard to believe. Very hard to believe. Yet there are many true believers.
