  • Trump is 100000000000000% more likely to die from eating yet another McBurger in the next 24hrs than he’s to be assassinated by the Islamic Regime from now to the end of his natural lifespan.
    Also, to people who’d view that as a positive because hurr durr Trump (I get it): that would lead to President Vance with a mandate to wage a war of revenge. The whole political discussion would suddenly shift from all the damage that Trump has done to USA, to destroying Iran, with a high possibility of giving more strength to republicans.




  • If the US wanted to boost trade, economy, and stability of the environment and peace in the reigon, and actually help the people of Iran

    USA/Israel don’t care about the Iranian people, that’s merely a propaganda stunt.

    Furthermore, India, North Korea and even China trade and help Russia in its wars.

    An open conflict with China is undesirable by both parties almost in equal measure. NK is already sanctioned up the ass, an open conflict would lead to a conflict with China. And I would like you to notice that India is being gradually weaned off the Russian teat, so to speak. Take a look at India’s trends in regards to defense-related imports. Its not a process that started recently, but almost a decade ago. They used to get +65% of their shit from Russia, but in the present that number dropped to 40% and they’ve been replaced by France and Israel. I have a hunch that these numbers will continue to lean geopolitically west-ward.
    India buying of Russian oil has been deemed as an acceptable cost, as they value India’s resources more - and India’s greatest value is people, they have a lot of those. Cheap labour for western capital.
    Hence the “mother of all deals” that was recently signed.

    A genocidal aparthied and oppresive family dictatorships are considered US allies by your standards?

    I’m sorry. Are you new to the whole USA business?


  • Oh its not about the nuclear stuff, I don’t think even the Trump admin believes that shit, even though they lie about it. I mean it from a military point of view and geopolitically.
    Israel, USA and USA’s partners in the area (Middle East) stand to gain because the Islamic regime is the one financing opposing factions in the are.
    And on a larger scale, USA and USA’s allies stand to win because the Islamic regime is the one actively aiding Russia in its war of conquest against an European country - for how many months/years now … 3 years? 4 years? I lost track. Anyway, for a loooong time they have sent thousands upon thousands of drones to bomb Ukraine.

    Ok, but this says that the google search for “Epstein files” died on 18 of february, 10 days before USA/Israel started the attack. So the war is not about the Epstein files, which I agree with. It is about USA’s foreign policy.
    It is in the interest of USA and Israel to severely damage the Islamic regime of Iran.
    It is in the interest of western allies to help or be quiet about the attacks and not to raise too much of a ruckus about it.




  • A whole lot of slop when the article should’ve started from the get go with this point here

    According to the Times, Israeli officials estimate that they have destroyed 50 percent of Iran’s missile launchers.

    If that number is remotely true, then its an insane number.
    Maybe Israel is lying, wouldn’t be the first time. Let’s halve it to 25%. Even with that number, removing 25% of Iran’s missile launch capabilities in a couple of days is fucking crazy.

    And its that kind of thing that completely changes the military calculations. Sure, they’re a lot more expensive, but if you fuck up your enemy’s capability to launch missiles, they’re very much worth it.
    And missile launchers cannot be built at the same fast rate, it goes without saying.

    Its things like these that make me (extra) distrustful of western media. Do an actual genuine effort at estimating capabilities and stop it with the clickbaity slop, I’m tired.
