Is Iran that good or does the US just suck? That is bonkers

the navy carrier with servicemen jumping overboard due to lack of supplies/relief proves that it's combination of enshitification on the american side and decades of preparation on the iranian side.

Indeed…reminds me of another country that takes pride in skimming off the top of the budget while claiming to have the best military hardware. No doubt the Iranians have been preparing for decades…hence why no one has ever attempted this idiocracy.

Good. Fuck nazi states of America. And no, I am not an Iran blindly supporting tankie.

Of course not, because no “tankie” supports Iran “blindly.” We know exactly why and in what ways we do—and don’t—support the Iranian state.
