  • Because winning an offensive war is much much harder than winning a defensive war. Nobody defends anything better than they defend their homeland. Same reason russia can’t win the war in Ukraine. That’s why the first gulf war in early 90s was won too. US was fighting to defend Kuwait from Iraqi invasion. Once the US forced Iraqi army back to their side of the border, they negotiate a ceasfire. They only fought the war defensively alongside Kuwaiti fighters in Kuwait.


  • I mean they’ve bombed the shit out of countries before, e.g. Vietnam. It didn’t win them any wars since WW2 as you said. And yes there’s definitely massive corruption happening in the MIC, no doubt. Im just saying, if it were up to trump he would have nuked tehran, someone had to tell him it wasn’t gonna happen. (He literally talked about nuking a hurricane at a public televised press conference in the past.)



  • Yeah for sure, it took me a couple decades but i finally got a data job, where i really just enjoy the work, after starting from the bottom minimum wage and working up a bit in two other careers first lol

    Finally im somewhere where if i get laid off inwould literally just happily work on a data analysis portfolio while applying to jobs. My two prior careers (law and education) I left them because i just hated the day to day work.
