Not to mention that even though we’ve (again) Utterly Destroyed their Radar and Anti-Aircraft capacities, they managed to shoot down one of our helicopters*. Using magic wands, perhaps?

*we’re told the shot-down personnel are fine; I hope that’s true.
Add a few more because Irans nuke capabilities were already “completely and totally annihilated” back in June, July, and August, 2025.
Kind of. Rumor has it that the Apache helicopter was shot down by a Shahed drone, which is not designed to shoot down helicopters. Then again, helicopters, even AH-64 Apaches are not designed to be hit by weaponized drones. Source for the drone story:
Can’t believe no one has popped in lately to lend support to this moronically initiated quagmire.
You mean like @Babale or @Wesley_Clark? Maybe because they’re yellow bellied cowards, afraid to admit how monumentally stupid they were in trusting that this war would go well with Trump and Hegseth in charge?
Why didn’t they think of this before?
Every time I see the headline of this thread, I think. “All of us, or just some of us?”
#notallwarmongers
Just the warmongers…
What if I only monged a small border conflict?
Or a police action?
Can one mong a cease fire that features explosions and fire?
The closet I come to that is hissyfit mongering.
I’m guessing @Babale and @Wesley_Clark are surely past the denial phase of grief over this war. What are they going through, do you think? Here’s my guess:
Anger: Fuck this administration for screwing it up, fuck the Iranians for being so stubborn, and most of all, fuck the Dopers criticizing us warmongers… why can’t they see that this was the right move and just executed poorly?
Bargaining: If only the strikes at the beginning were a little stronger, the Iranian administration would have fallen and democracy would have flowered! If only the country stood strongly behind Trump and Hegseth, maybe they’d have had the wherewithal to finish the war and topple the regime!
Depression: Oh god, I can’t believe I was so stupid. How could I have been this dumb? What the fuck was I thinking? I trusted Trump and Hegseth, for god’s sake! And worst of all, those Doper assholes aren’t going to let me forget it. I can’t face admitting the truth to them. It would just be too pathetic…
Acceptance: ???
Sociopathy: meh, whatever, at least some Muslims are dead.
That’s my vote for how they feel (or don’t) about all this.
I agree. From the “kill Muslims” viewpoint this war has been a success.
This is the obvious answer.
It’s obvious they’re not returning to this thread, so roleplaying them just makes it look like you’re pissed they didn’t admit defeat and give you the satisfaction.
You can try gloating that you scared them off and that might provoke them to return. Otherwise, take their absence as a victory, and all war-mongering pieces of shit have been properly fucked.
"…If [we] can get them depressed, then [we’ll] have done [our] job."
But, yeah. Those two seem horrible.
They’re on the verge of admitting defeat. It’s so close, I’m telling you!
