This may be from the meme graveyard, but it has never been more appropriate:
FYI, that whole show is available on archive.org
What’s the show?
It’s a comedy show from the 80s called “Sledge Hammer!”
It’s more like “Operation White Flag”. Strategically, this ends in a major loss for the USA. The only winning move was not to play . . as every other US President since Jimmy Carter was smart enough to understand. The 2 remaining choices are: commit the entire DOD to a ground invasion of the Iran homeland . . or lose. And there is no sign the DOD is ramping up for a ground war.
I think the fascist’s assumption is that things can’t get much worse for them, so they might as well make their enemies suffer more as well:
“We can’t take a bigger L than we already have, so by doubling down we can outlast Iran and the rest of the world. Even though we’ll have to deal with increased energy costs and a worsening economy, many other nations will be hit harder as we have enough domestic production. Our domestic oil exec buddies can even sell for a profit at high prices. The November elections can’t get any worse for us and our base will never truly falter, so now might be time to pivot towards rigging elections and nullifying Congress!”
Of course, things absolutely can get worse for America, as a prolonged closure will cause every nation on earth to totally abandon the US. Our economy can absolutely go into a deep depression if something else goes wrong, and the ripple effects from that could be monumental.
In that case, Operation Soiled Diaper is a more apt name.
Or Operation Loaded Diaper, or OLD for short.
Remember when they initially called the Iraqi invasion “Operation Iraqi Liberation” but changed it because it spelled OIL. Same vibes.
You could have a steam train
If you just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you didn’t park it within range of the drones.
Did Operation Orange Pee Pee not poll well or something?
Well, gosh, if a rebrand doesn’t fix things, I don’t know what will!
Zuckerberg, is that you?
Bury Epstein Files or Cluster Fuck is more appropriate. Sledgehammer, lol, he missed and whacked his own shin!
I really don’t want Peter Gabriel stuck in my head anytime I have to listen to the news.
