Jeff Tiedrich - brace yourself: Preznit Fuckwit and Piss-Drunk Pete have been lying to us about the Iran war

hey, folks? I’m not sure how to break this to you, but it’s looking more and more like the guy who lied about bone spurs and lied about hush money and lied about his dead pedo bestie and lied about how tariffs work and lied about being able to point to a camel and lied about his weight and lied about his golf scores and lied about his wealth and lied about a hurricane and lied about a pandemic and lied about his taxes and lied about a million other things has been lying to us about just how swimmingly his don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war on Iran is going.

oh, and his piss-drunk Secretary of Death? the shouty one with all the Christofascist tattoos, who gets off on bombing schoolgirls? he’s been lying, too.

I know, right?

remember all that blather from Preznit Fuckwit about how Iran’s military has been smithereened to death and how they have no navy and can’t fight, and how the whole country is on the verge of complete collapse, and how Iran has no choice but to open up that Strait of Epstein, like, any minute now?

yeah, well guess fucking what.

Many of us figured this out from day one. It's a day ending in y, isn't? Of course they are lying, they don't know how to do anything else.

There are two principal reasons wars are won:

1. The side that lost ran out of supplies.
2. The side that lost said "the hell with this" and gave up.

Iran isn't going to say "the hell with this." They were attacked so they have plenty of reasons to stay in the fight, and they've got plenty of weapons in their inventory because...well, no one over there actually likes them. Iran also is pretty close to being completely self-sufficient in military hardware. You know all those F-14s the Shah bought, and that the US is so afraid of the Iranians getting American-made parts for them they shredded every F-14 that isn't currently in a museum to keep the Iranians from parting them out? Iran can make its own F-14 parts. Iran even makes jet engines, which is one of the hardest things for anyone to make. They also have naval shipyards that are making some very innovative vessels.

But that's not one of the six reasons. Over the history of land warfare, most wars have been won by the side that ran out of food last. Surrounding Iran are seven other nations: Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Türkiye, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Of the seven, only Türkiye wouldn't either provide humanitarian aid or allow Iran to transship supplies through their countries. Pakistan has three seaports through which supplies can be brought into the continent for shipping to Iran. (The most likely route is to ship freight into Pakistan, drive it up to Afghanistan and turn west.)

In the Army we had a phrase for when someone screwed up bad, "he stepped on his own dick." The only reason you can't say that about Trump's attack on Iran is Trump doesn't have enough of a dick to step on...other than that, yeah, that's what he did.

I also worry that we'll learn of more injuries and deaths of our our troops that have occurred but were hidden, even possibly holding some POWs...

I'd love to be wrong but with this administration... I wouldn't put anything past them.
