Iran is right: Trump has already lost this war
Donald Trump’s war with Iran marks his administration’s “looksmaxing” moment: It’s preening before the mirror, repeatedly smashing itself in the face with hammers and launching banger memes, while aggressively pretending not to notice external reality.
Especially not the mockery, pity and terror it provokes in others. It now seems clear there was internal disagreement about launching this war in the first place, and that there's now widespread internal bewilderment about how to end it. Trump and Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio and whomever else were lured into this war by Benjamin Netanyahu, pushed into it by the billionaire donors of the Israel lobby and, more than anything else, seduced into it by massive institutional incompetence and their thoroughly unfounded belief in their own awesomeness. As one Bluesky poster put it in early March, those guys believed they could wage and win a war easily just by being "based chads" (i.e., white dudes with retrograde attitudes about literally everything) who would avoid all the weak, woke, DEI-informed mistakes made in previous conflicts by such lily-livered libtards as, um, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.
Well written and accurate take down of the ongoing buffoonery and stupidity that characterizes the Trumpolini presidency, along with the institutional failures of the rest of Da Goobermint and the Press that are supposed to protect democracy from wannabee dictators. Should be required reading for everyone who voted for the Cretin-in-Chief.
