A very funny and telling situation.
Factionalism allows liberals to deflect and divert.
A few years ago, Russian got mocked by liberals for its military unproficiency.
Yet, this situation is nothing different. Except of course, that the Ukraine's resistance has been boosted, augmented by a tremendous level of support from NATO. Iran is on its own.
These days are days of admission for liberals and once again, Donald Trump's admission is staggering. This was a basic expectation to have when starting the war, one that does not demand long months of preparation (which the US already delivered as they designed plans to make wars against all the countries in the world)
Yet, here is the situation: the US admitted not having factored in that basic means could be used to disrupt this strait.
Interestingly, this situation shows how liberal societies are so inclined to perceptions of conspiracies (in the meaning of people plotting in secret to carry out different objectives than the publicly declared objectives)
It is very hard to accept that Donald Trump as the commander in chief of the military was not able to figure out this situation by himself before the war. Even harder to accept that no four, five, six star generals were unable to figure it out.
Which makes it very easy to consider that the goals of this war are not to end the Iranian regime but to create chaos on the global scale and possibly to drag countries around into this global conflict as Trump made this explicit demand.
