    He’s talking awfully big for a guy getting his ass kicked by a country with a depleted military.

      a guy getting his ass kicked

      The Americans and Israelis have massacred an extraordinarily large number of people, demolished billions in critical infrastructure, and plunged the country into a bleak future of warlordism, poverty, and famine.

      It cannot be adequately expressed how nightmarish life will become in Iran in the next few months, without a globally organized relief campaign.

      What they’ve accomplished militarily is impressive, but it hasn’t come anywhere close to breaking the genocidal grip of the imperialist powers around their collective throats.

        Military force kills people and breaks things. The US military is incredibly good at this. Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes is the job of politicians, and the Executive Branch happens to be incredibly bad at this.

      Talking awfully big for a man threatening a country with arguably one of the best infiltrations of the US intelligence network since the USSR. I’m unsure how true it is since the Cold War, but time was when you couldn’t go take a shit in the Pentagon without Castro knowing about it.

      They were never satire. This is exactly who Trump told us he would be. It’s who he tried to be during his first term but some of the checks and balances were still intact.

      talk to the dem leaders about their failure on that one. You would hope at least one of the parties would be against war crimes. Why werent the DNC? Rhetocial question: because they are irretrievably corrupt and cashed some AIPAC checks.

      I think you’d best be mad at that corruption and not the voters put in an impossible spot because of it. Unless you are dishonest, a warmonger or zionist, in which case go on with your prattle.

      Technically speaking, we don’t know what would have happened if Kamala was elected. But I agree with the general sentiment of the message.

      Trump, despite being lowest rated president in the modern history is still overrated and overtrusted by people.

        Only speaking as a Canadian, but I highly doubt you’d have a president openly threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations, completely alienating your closest allies for over a century forcing them to stop trade with you, and overall make you an international laughing stock.

        Sure you might still have gotten a war, but it’s everything else that is uniquely Trump.

          You miss the point. You think Kamala being better than Trump is a gotcha that’ll shame non-voters into eating the shit sandwich, but that’s immature. Voters will never be rational and will always pick what feels right over what would lead to a better outcome. Being bitter about it helps no one, especially when it’s a party’s job to make decisions that appeal to voter preferences.

          They made so many blunders leading up to the election that I knew who I would be responsible if we lost. As someone who has voted in every single regional and national election since I was eligible, I saw them do everything in their power to be unlikable enough to lose to evil incarnate. It was the last election that mattered, but you wouldn’t think it based on how they ran the country and their campaigns.

          They put capital above democracy, put nationalism over human rights, and they never plan to undo the damage done unless the owning class allows it. You blaming the people who lost most from the election only dooms the party to moving further away from liberalism. It’s always the people who own the media, own stocks, and own politicians who are at fault. You’ve already forgotten who to blame, and for that you are a useful idiot.

            You are eating your shit sandwich from the dumpster now instead of a plate in your home. Whatever you blame on the Dems in your lengthy text is foobar’d now to the point of being irreparable.

            Guess your hands were tied and there was no way to avoid Trump 2… Not sure who is the idiot here.

          As someone who voted like I always do, I tried to warn everyone I could, and could literally be imprisoned and medically tortured if ICE decides to card me, I only wish the worst for neoliberal cheerleaders like you. You are more responsible for the mess than anyone on the left, and you will be responsible for America’s failure to ever rebuild after Trump.

      It’s always a vote for genocide, whether D or R or refusing to vote, the genocide keeps genociding.

      USA is world’s largest arms dealer (not hyperbole) regardless of who is in office. Vote for who you want, just for laughs. It doesn’t matter.

      you probably won’t be able to afford the ticket… if there is one thing i know about america’s capitalist pigs, is that you will 100% be charged money at the gate to go and piss on his grave, and it will cost more than fifa tickets.

      although, ironically… i only ever had to pay to use the pissers in europe lol, this will be america’s first pay toilet lol! …and that is still a better legacy than her deserves

    “I do believe I’ll be the honor of – have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor,” said the president.

    “Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah,” the president confirmed. “Taking Cuba.”

    “I mean, whether I free it, or take it… I think I can do anything I want with it, to tell you the truth,” Trump said.

      Does Cuba even have the missiles and drones to do this? The Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces are equipped with mostly outdated and cobbled together technology.

      I couldn’t find any long range strike capability in this [list of equipment](Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces). That doesn’t mean they don’t have any. A couple of containers filled with Shahed long range drones could be hiding in a warehouse. Serious ballistic missiles are less likely to exist. I couldn’t find any info on the Air Force owning cruise missiles for their jets.

      Cuba could run a fierce defense and Guerilla war against an full invasion. They have the culture, experience, equipment, and organization for it. That is, if the will to fight is strong enough
