    I’ll put on my cynical hat, and assume Iran isn’t a perfect humanitarian state.

    They are fighting a different war, they know if the US gets the slightest amount of public support it’ll be Iraq/Afghanistan all over again, while the US is bombing Iran, Iran is fighting the propaganda war, and they are doing amazing.

    From the lego videos, to only hitting targets the US public don’t care/can’t complain. Like military bases, Amazon Data centers…

    They only have to fight until next election cycle. And this extremely unpopular offensive will be over. and they might even get a friendlier US administration.

    Trump is 100% losing this war.

      Chuck and Hakeem criticisms of the war is that it is not being run competently enough, when Trump had a stopped-clock-moment and signed the first peace deal, they and the rest of BlueMaga were saying TACO Trump.

      I have no faith a Gavin Newsom presidency stops the war.

      There also aren’t too many US schools in the area, but a lot of military bases.
