    We will absolutely not regret sinking it if you do that. How many warships will it take to do the whole line of succession?

    This sinking seems like a really big deal to me, but I don’t feel like it’s been treated that way. Everyone seems to react like it’s just another example of Trump being shitty, and it is, but also, we sank another country’s warship with a torpedo. That seems pretty momentous no matter what country it was.

      And it was unarmed, coming back from an exercise that was essentially a parade. Bonus points of shit!

      This is only the second warship sunk by a nuke sub (HMS Conqueror) and the first warship the US has sunk with a sub since 1945. We won’t talk about the Russian cargo ship that “exploded” in 2024.

      In the frame of war, this is big. In the frame of history this is huge. The lack of coverage and the apathy to it is ridiculous. This has never happened in our lifetime, well unless you are 80, so we have that going for us…at least its new lol.

      Different from smashing their airfields with missiles? Or, is it different because of where it happened?

      why? all nations are evil. that’s a given. trump’s run to be another hitler has involved partnership with genocide and kidnapping and invasion of multiple nations.

      he’s clearly the bigger evil here.

      iran is a piece of shit but they’re not a worldwide imperialist terrorist organization actively invading other nations.

          It could’ve been. But dumbfucks threw a tantrum over Harris.

          This is on their heads. Never let it be forgotten.

            While Harris would have been an objectively better president than trump, I don’t think voting for her would have voted out capitalism…

            don’t forget: the ppl who voted 3rd party.

            even if they voted for harris she still would have lost. she did a piss poor job at her campaign. if the primary actually picked her instead of joe dropping she’d likely have done much better.

        I kind of doubt that will be true. Don’t you think if our system actually worked trump would have been some how taken from presidency? Or at least something would be happening. Like anything real…

      Iran loves to issue empty threats.

      They’ve been crippled. Their ability to project artillery outside their borders is receding with every passing day. As soon as the US/Israel offer them a seat at the bargaining table, they’ll come rushing back just like they have every other time the US/Israel has pushed their shit in.

      If you love getting rug-pulled, go ahead and root for Iran.

      If you want to cheer for the team with the kind of blood-lust necessary to obliterate a civilization, you’d be better off cheering for the US and Israel.

        The war just started. How do you even know what tricks they have up their sleeves? You think dropping big explosives from the air is the only form of warfare? How did that work out for you in Vietnam? This is the same hubris Putin demonstrated. Don’t jump the gun.

    iran has been calling for things and threatening things for a while now

    now does seem like a good opportunity to make good on those threats however it’s starting to appear like iran is the paper tiger we thought all along
