Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? [View all]

All joking aside, surely we all know how Great Britain surrendered after the Germans bombed the hell out of London and the other big English cities during WWII right? Oh yeah, that didn’t happen. Or when North Viet Nam threw in the towel after the US pummeled Hanoi from the air for years. That didn’t happen either, did it. Fire bombing Tokyo and killing 100,000 people in one night made Japan give up? Nope. It took two Atomic bombs for that. Ukraine gave up when Russia started hitting civilian targets. Nah, they’re still fighting away. So what makes military genius Hegseth and Commander Bone Spurs so sure that bombing Iran will suddenly bring about a result that other similar efforts failed to achieve in both past and current conflicts? Strongly worded Truth Social posts? Gleeful videos celebrating death and destruction? None of this will do anything other than kill thousands of people, destroy infrastructure, sow hatred, unrest, and economic upheaval as well as destroy 80 years of productive alliances that have benefitted both Europe and the US. Did they sit around the situation room and decide that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part? Everything happens for a reason-even stupid things. Is it just as simple as a distraction from the troubles of the Epstein files, Netenyahu’s political peril, greed, stupidity, hubris? It certainly isn’t intelligent military strategy.
