So you have no theory of mind for Trump, his team or his supporters?

Also, geography.
Iraq is pretty flat and featureless other than the giant rivers; a classic border region or “March” where two powers clash.
Iran is an absolute nightmare of jagged peaks and long mountain valleys which is many times easier to defend and hide in.
All the technology on the world can’t completely compensate for good ground.

Flat frictionless plains with spherical cows, where the planner’s plans can shine.

That may be partly true but tariffs are something he’s literally been talking about since like the 80s. This particular issue should have been the least surprising of anything he’s ever talked about.

It’s been apparent to me for years and years that the vast, vast majority of opponents to Trump & Trumpism have little to no theory of mind when it comes to their political enemies. Sometimes even proudly so, boasting of their ignorance from the rooftops as if it grants them high status.
They fail the intellectual Turing test over and over because of the iron information bubble they’ve built for themselves, and even when they leave the physical bubble to places like this where open Trump support isn’t instantly banned / siloed / throttled / etc, often the bubble still exists in mind. Even now after the walls have come down in social media and the censorship has cooled, even if only relatively.
Many are incapable of simple listening, not even to speak of comprehension. It’s too late, They’re Not Going To Make It, and they have no idea what’s in store for them.
Sad!
No, but the criticisms of the scene on an aesthetic level really hit home for me. It really does look like a mid market cell phone commercial.
And when annoying midwits effusively praise something so underwhelming, it’s basically impossible to unsee.
Vibe killed, so I’ll skip. I’ve got plenty of other stuff to watch when I have free time.
