Iran was shocked by a massive opening blow in the middle of negotiations which allowed Israel to disable many launcher sites and take air superiority in those regions preventing Iran from accessing their full capacity.

Regardless of this, Israel still just couldn't handle sustained pressure from Irans remaining weapons.

Israel started the war with the goal of regime change and destroying Irans nuclear capabilities, they did neither.

If the war starts back, Iran will still have the capacity to overwhelm Israeli defense and Israel will have to rely on another surprise attack, which is much less likely now that Iran has seen their strategy for doing such.

It's in no way an L for Iran, much less a massive one.

How is he getting played by the imperialist faction agreeing to up their imperialism budget (specifically what he demanded) and praising him?

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, so delusional to think that having the other side agree to a ceasefire without achieving the goals they started the war over is a victory...

What?

I just don't understand the prevalence of the "nothing ever happens" meme.

Its like if "the sky is never blue" became a meme posted during every storm.

Is it supposed to be a absurdist/ironic and mark that things do in fact happen? I just tend to see it more in nihilistic contexts.

It's reported that Israel does have air superiority over certain regions of Iran (Israel claims much more /all of Iran but that's highly doubtful)

Israel opened the fighting with successfull attacks on Iranian infrastructure and commanders.

Meanwhile Israel's problem is just an inability to deal with the constant barrages from Iran, there was no surprise attack on their capabilities.

So while a ceasefire does benefit Israel in being able to re-up their Air Defenses, it also has much greater potential to help Iran, as they would now be able to access and/or move infrastructure they can't currently access and also they can better organize/embedd their new command structures.

I'm aware of reports they haven't received a ceasefire and/or don't intend to accept one. This is just explanation for why they would potentially accept a ceasefire.

Reminder that despite their general anti-consumer practices and data harvesting, they are also complicit in and aiding a genocide.

Except this time the empire is so far gone that Tulsi is even questioning/dismissing the idea of Iran having/getting nukes and it doesn't matter.

We no longer need to manufacture consent, we just do things.

Everytime someone tried to negotiate with Israel/the US they are killed/attacked. From Palestinian negotiators to Iran.

Insisting on "peaceful resolution" is akin to Ghandis 'pacifist' insistence that "Jews should have thrown themselves in the sea" during the Holocaust

The constant "there's a dang Cheeto in the white house!" comes with the implication that anyone who wasn't "the Cheeto" would be meaningfully different in the role.

Particularly in 2016 - 2020 the implication was Hillary, now it's Harris, as that's who he ran against.

Edit: It's a focus on the individual in the role rather than the system itself, despite vast evidence that the problems are long term and systemic. Whether the intention or not, it's undeniably a liberal defense of the broader system itself.
