not maga, and not a fan or the iran war but if you think iran has “won” or “embarrassed the us” just remember that you still have drinking water and phone service and haven’t had to worry about middle strikes bc of our military

This probably goes hard if you have literally 0 context about the war at all.

Militarily, Iran has been absolutely decimated. Their losses have exceeded their entire economic output and they’ll need decades to recover. That said, a victory for Iran doesn’t mean actually beating the US on the battlefield, nobody can do that. But if they’re simply able to survive, if they can crawl out of the rubble and maintain even a slightly functional state until this is all over, then they’ve “won”.

I mean, in Vietnam, there was way more damage to Vietnam than America. Way more Vietnamese died than Americans. America still lost the war, and there’s no controversy over America losing. Because destruction does not mean victory.

totally reasonable take. this message was more so for the americans supporting iran and saying “death to america” from inside america’s borders. no matter who the president is never wish bad on your own country bc it still effects you as an american.

idk man i feel like it’s fundamentally American to be able to wish bad on your own country even when it affects themselves. that’s true freedom, if we’re being honest with ourselves. historically, it makes sense why the Iranian people would say such a thing. it’s tragic as fuck but it’s like suggesting the elders who were tortured in boarding schools or marched from their homes in the Great Lakes to feckin Oklahoma don’t have a right to suggest the America that did that to them needs to die…
