Imagine How embarrassing that would be

I wish their leader had realized that what he did wasn't something you could just back down from and that his life was on the line either way.

And the key difference is that the US would feel the stupidity locally. In the Iran Folly / Epstein Distraction War, the most victims on the non-Iranian side were in middle east countries, and, apart from Israelis, of no concern to the US.

I'm pretty sure this is about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, not the Israel/US invasion of Iran
chuckleslord 2 points 6 days ago
Sure, yeah. I can see that. Lots of very thin metaphors for the Ukraine invasion, though.

As a sightly drunk person I very much appreciate the people explaining the analogy.

Canada, England, and France would all definitely help the USA.

It's actually politically damaging to help the USA in its folly wars under this regime. Trump is even less popular in Europe than he is in the US. I guess they probably would help, but not definitely, and definitely not enthusiastically.

If somebody attacked American soil then everybody's attitude would be different. There's no comparison between "helping Trump bomb innocent Iranians" and "helping Americans in New Mexico and California who are being bombed." Other western countries would help enthusiastically against an invasion into the USA. There's no doubt about this.

... Except if the USA was the aggressor, invading that country in a folly war. I think there is doubt about that.

Mexico shelling towns in California? There's no way anybody stands by while that happens.

Someone should make an updated version of this based on how well things are going for Russia in 2026
