    Pearl Harbor would’ve been successful if all our aircraft carriers were in port that day, it was honestly the only way they could’ve won in the Pacific. They bet the moon on a longshot and lost it all.

    while the orange dipshits decision to start another war in the middle east is deplorable, it is also entirely on par for how our leaders have acted for the past… 40-50 years? 45 years sounds about right. At least that long. At any rate, the situation isn’t really that comparable, I don’t think, unless someone cares to correct me. Do we really think this is going to end up that catastrophically for us?

      As an Israeli* it’s definitely going to turn out better for us than if USA hadn’t joined in. As for the rest of the world, and specifically USA… I fucking hate where everything is headed, but I think USA can easily win this.

      * An Israeli who, much like many Americans, is stuck with a government of criminally insane psychopaths he voted against and protested against. I in no way support the actions of the current government.
