Under the U.S. Constitution, it’s up to Congress, not the president, to decide when the country goes to war. —Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii
Born to early to go to war with Iran. Born too late to go to war with Iran. Born just in time to go to war with Iran.
Things are looking up… for Iran.
I am not asking for much, I just want the US to lose to Iran even more decisively and quickly than it lost to Afghanistan, and for Tel Aviv to look like Rafah today.
I don’t want a fucking plan I want this hell state to not kill people

Iran will target Israeli nuclear site of Dimona if Israel and the U.S. seek regime change, the Iranian semi-official ISNA news agency reported, citing an Iranian military official said.
“You are right to be worried, the Trump administration has no plan in Iran,” Warren said
Ah, so it’s much better than I thought on one side.
Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?Seems like they’ve been preparing for this for a long while.
I mean, how many empires have passed through Persia, through that area? How many conflicts has that civilization endured? I’m not trying to hype myself up but, like, Iranians are fighting in home turf with thousands of years of military knowledge of their own terrain, against a hegemon that’s mobilized from half way across the globe. They must have something up their sleevse
I always think about the millennium challenge where the USA Armed forces came together to run a test, the USA’s military vs Iran, and Iran decimated the USA so much they had to stop the test, change the rules son the USA has to win, and then declared victory for the USA
The hubris of the burger reich is truly astounding. They really think they can just waltz in and destroy a whole civilization that’s thousands of years old.
There’s been a massive bot campaign across social media to convince people that US and Israel are winning big time.
Anyone that can put 2 and 2 together knows it’s not true. But the propaganda is necessary, because that’s all the US has left.
Neoliberalism has hollowed out the US. It cannot keep up with economies not focused on maximizing profits.
Also, imagine, if Iran is doing this to the US, what would China do. They could probably destroy all of NATO in less than a month if they wanted.
I think the nastier stuff won’t happen until Iran is in a really bad situation. Maybe they could fire an advanced missile and strike Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility or carry out drone attacks inside the US. It’s easy to sneak drones around and assemble them, so I think we can expect attacks far away from the battlefield.
One thing I’ll disagree with is this idea that sleeper cells will appear from no-where and massacre people at bars and nightclubs. It doesn’t seem like it’s Iran’s style - they’d rather hit a military base with a drone.
Remember that while Iran’s command structure is ruined, they can still command operations globally through their intelligence officers.
Shades of “John Kerry would have done the Iraq war right!”
Had Liz Warren come in behind Bernie in 2020, we would have stood a chance stopping the party from ordaining Genocide Joe, even with their cheating. Instead she lied and said he secretly revealed how sexist he is to only her, and the neolib media shouted it from the hilltops. And now we have Trump again because the guy who came in 5th before the party rigged the election for him was never viable to be reelected. Heckuba job, Warrie!
I wonder if that letter to the CIA from senator wyden was related to this quagmire
I am a simple man, I see Elizabeth Warren I post
Actually that’s pretty much what we thought, but it’s good to get a second opinion from someone on the inside.
basically yeah
Good thing you clapped at Trump’s war speech you dumb fuck
all of those people dead for literally no reason. like a wise man once said, the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood
He then went on to be a Reservoir Dog, but was killed by a cop. Rest in power Mr Brown.
I was under the impression that he declared war on brown people with no fucking plan whatsoever because he’s racist, under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples), and him trying to distract from his close ties with and probable crimes as a child rapist.
I actually don’t know how it could be worse
under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples)
Tbf it’s working for Netanyahu
Maybe our losses are much worse than we currently know
What did you think I was expecting, Elizabeth Warren?
Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’” Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said the briefing left him with more questions than answers… While presidents have the authority as the commander in chief to conduct certain strategic military operations on their own, the Constitution vests Congress with the power to wage war. Before the Iraq War began in March 2003, Republican President George W. Bush made a monthslong push to secure congressional authorization. No such vote was attempted on Iran, and an earlier Senate effort to halt Trump’s actions after last summer’s strike on Iran failed.
monthslong
That’s a slong a month long. Is it missing a hyphen?
Good thing Congress acted swiftly to prevent the executive branch from unilaterally starting a war.
