huh?

Target the depots and destroy them with artillery.

When you definitely understand how artillery works. 🤣

Again, not clear how the US plans to neutralize long range missile capability of Iran.

Iran has firm support from Russia and China with supply lines running through friendly territory. Russia alone outproduces all of NATO militarily right now by a factor of three. Iran itself has a large industrial base, and can outproduce the US in things like missile production. It’s obvious that the logistics for the US are far worse than they are for Iran here. I also don’t really see Iran lacking in friends at all. It’s pretty clear they’re getting a lot of economic and military support from both Russia and China.

Also, this might be a surprise for you, but Iran can choose which ships they allow to sail through the strait of Hormuz the same way Yemen allowed Chinese and Russian ships to sail through Suez.

The Iranian military will be able to produce missiles long after the US military loses its capacity to do so because China isn’t blocking rare earths supplies from Iran like they are form the US. The Americans have no meaningful capacity to produce critical inputs themselves.

NATO spent a huge chunk of their existing stock piles in Ukraine over past four years, and their production capacity is laughably low. Once the US runs through its missile supplies in the next few weeks, it’s not clear what options they have at that point.

Meanwhile, if you think that the US is going to break up political face of Iran by bombing then you’re absolutely delusional. There’s been no single conflict in history where this actually happened, and Iran will certainly not going to be the first here.

You quite literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re opining on here.

How would that happen exactly? Look at Ukraine, Russia’s been bombing it for four years now, and Iran is three times the size. There’s no realistic scenario where Iran can be defeated in a quick war here.

Where are they going to purchase them from though is the question. The US was barely able to produce any, and that was before China cut off rare earths supply.

I expect it will go as long as Iran decides it needs to go. They control the escalation here.

if you’re white enough it works sometimes

indeed

In fact, I don’t see where else they could get it at this point. Export capacity from the US is limited, and their producers can’t fill such a huge gap. The real question is why Russia would sell gas to them right now instead of their partners in BRICS.

the script writers are really not putting a lot of effort into their propaganda at this point

I believe the official term is the Epstein Coalition

basically

Doing nothing includes sharing military intelligence such as satellite data, sending advanced radars, and keeping Iran economically afloat.

Yemen is almost certainly going to join in. Hezbollah and Iraqi militias already said they will be activating against the US. The problem for the US is that they are spread very thin in the region, and there is a huge amount of animosity towards them, especially after the genocide in Gaza. It’s entirely possible that US backed regimes will start to fall as well.

Even if Iran doesn’t take out a carrier, the US is now faced with no good options. It’s pretty clear they miscalculated, and Iran isn’t going to collapse. So, now they find themselves faced with an Ukraine style attrition war, except the logistics are far worse than they are for Russia which actually has a border with Ukraine. The US has to ship weapons and troops all the way across the ocean here. So, what does the US do now, do they commit to the war which is unwinnable, or do they run home with their tail between their legs?

Either scenario is a disaster. If the US commits to the war then there’s almost certainly going to be an economic crash as happened when the US invaded Vietnam. If the US is seen to be defeated, then everyone can see that the empire can be defeated. The whole narrative of the best military in the world that cannot be challenged falls apart at that point.

I’d argue attacking Iran was a far worse blunder than starting a proxy war in Ukraine, but it’s also compounded by it. The US has depleted a lot of its stocks of critical weapons like missile interceptors over the past four years, and the economic war on Russia forced a creation of a whole alternate economic system that’s outside western control. Both these factors have significantly weakened the American hand in the current conflict.

Khamenei was the main reason Iran did not develop nuclear weapons up to now. With him gone, that becomes a much more likely scenario.

I don’t think a nuclear holocaust would help things, but I sure would love to see China start cutting trade off.

yeah that’s the whole article 🤣

orly?

Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests, and our allies - as Britain has done before, in line with international law.
