out of concern for safety, the mall in Sioux City, Iowa closed up shop on 9/11/01. i don't remember if it was before the plane hit the second tower or after, but it definitely happened. i can't find a reference to it online, but I remember it scrolling by multiple times on the ticker at the bottom of the news feed I was watching

genuine question: why wouldn't the Iranians do some kind of a "measured response" (lol west wing is real life) against US forces in Iraq to avoid looking weak then go loving nuts on Saudi oil fields with drones or missiles?

same reason the soviets kept giving north vietnam migs and missiles despite wanting nothing more than for them to cut a deal with the south, you gotta support your proxies and be seen as strong or else they'll look to new source of weapons and funds

thats part of the horror, that the army is all volunteer and the war economy is always on so americans feel literally zero impact from having wars. the media doesnt show the bodies or lies about it, the politicians just watch the polls and kiss the voters asses, the people have been trained to punish anyone that makes them feel even uneasy. the entire capitalist system revolves around fostered ignorance and apathetic cruelty in a self perpetuating hell loop

youre trapped in the belly of a beast, a machine crushing and smashing human beings and you feel none of it

the more america loses influence and prestige the more we will do stupid loving poo poo in a futile attempt to reclaim it

if you tell them its a bad idea and they shouldnt the response is "how dare you think america cant do this you pissant gently caress"

currently, based on the tweets, i think there will be retaliations from iran. i think they will be serious, the retaliations, maybe even as serious as the embassy attack that pissed trump off, which might lead him to respond. and that'd be bad, i imagine

saudi arabia and israel have both been too much trouble than theyre worth for like 20 years at least. israel isnt ditched for domestic political reasons mostly, and the saudis are the richest people in the world

reminder that trump himself is a notorious coward who is extremely reluctant to start poo poo

e: though he could also escalate the situation with sheer force of ignorance so
