There comes a point when you take advantage of the time you have vs trying to secure it for another term to do nothing. Democrats spent billions flooding american cities with illegals and it cost them favorability but they accomplished their goal and it will be very hard to undo. Same with these strikes on Iran I guess.
If you have to do 'unpopular things' early on in a lame duck is the time to do it. Unless this unbelievably blows up bad nobody will remember this by midterms, much less 2028.
That was last week, they're not in the news cycle anymore. They're hoping to try and ruin everyone's Fourth of July celebrations (spoiler alert: fireworks makes for great cover for arson or pipe bombs) becuase the "No Kings" was suuuuch a success in their epistemic enclosures. In reality the golem is being left out to rot becuase their masters have other things to worry about (like whipping their pet congresscritters into pushing for a new foreverwar on their behalf), so expect the riots to just fade away for the time being.
The real indicator would be the Saudis taking delivery of the nukes they paid for from Pakistan.
War with Iran has an approval rating of 18%. Very very bad.
right, and that applies to isreal, but the US is their proxy
You are forgetting the bug chasers and gift givers, that number should be around 35%.
In a way it shows how bad the dem party is off now. They can't even make anything out of this to help their approval. The thing is harris said she'd do the same thing. I don't care if she would or not, but there's going to be little if any real difference on how this goes no matter who is in power.
Most of MAGA supports the bombing, I couldn't find the age groups tho so wouldn't be surprised if it's boomers
Not right wing Bernie Sanders?!
This would be credible if they didn't constantly use those Salafi populations abroad to promote their interests and to counter other regional powers and undermine rivals. Salafists in Iraq were constantly antagonizing and destabilizing any Iranian influence in the country. In Syria they were used to undermine and eventually overthrow the Shia-friendly government. Throughout West Africa Salafi groups regularly compete with Iranian-backed groups for influence. And the main reason that the Uyghers are in camps and the Hui are not is due to their Salafi-jihadism and terror attacks being viewed as the Chinese government as an attempt by foreign powers at interference in their internal affairs. These same Turkic-Salafist groups were seen in Syria fighting on behalf of the Islamic State, and they largely displaced the Turkey-aligned Turkic nationalist groups in Xinjiang, allowing Saudi influence to shoulder aside Turkish influence in Central Asia.
I'm fine with it but wish they had killed all the leaders too. As soon as a dem gets back in office the US will apologize and help them rebuild everything.
So we were not bombing nuclear plants, we were bombing the embassies of xeno scum. The Emperor Protects!AAY LMFAOS.
B2s are not thought to be able to survive against modern anti air systems. Its a 35 year old plane.
Surely we must have something in the MIC spring catalog that could strike the dam?
