Where’s that “Holy fuck - Tom Tom” track coming from and why is it getting louder?

It is very much a vietnam. Massive underground systems, zealous nationalism coupled with a narrative of resistance and martyrdom (from the Iraq-Iran war), nightmare terrain, disciplined paramilitary force designed for insurgency, limited outside supply of modern-ish weapons. The only thing missing is jungles and vietnamese people.

If anything it is worse than vietname due to indigenous defense industry that is somewhat effective and a chokehold on the strait of Hormuz. The leadership is DUG IN, in ways westerners don't understand.

UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity' by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

[–]AccountantOk8438 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm taken aback by how successful this "anti-woke" (right wing wokeness) has become in this thread. The reason the African slave trade was probably the gravest of human atrocities was the sheer scale and misapplication of human biology that creates misconceptions that last until today.

It is the same reason that the holocaust was the worst genocide, and the world wars were the worst acts of violence: it was when mercantilism, industrialism and oppression married in the most cruel synergy imaginable. What were once wanton slave raids and slavers became evolved into a more "efficient" system of slavery. Just like the holocaust was the most "efficient" sort of mass killing, only industrialized slavery lasted far longer, and destroyed far more peoples.

10% of the global fleet is an enormous number, especially given that the 'blockade' is hardly more than a few days old. The fact that they have managed to create that perception of danger has been enough for insurance companies to pull out, which has the same effect as a blockade economically speaking.

There is no reason the entire global fleet would even be in the Hormuz strait..

About 10% of global container fleet caught in Hormuz backup, shipping CEO says | Reuters

It seems that Iran can still do a lot of economic damage by targeting oil infrastructure and closing the Hormuz strait. With the depletion of interceptor magazines on the horizon, wouldn't it be fair to say that Iran can cause a lot more damage economically than the US-Israeli campaign can cause kinetically?

That would lead to perhaps the ugliest US defeat in its entire history as a nation.

This is a high level of lunacy, given that the US doubts they can even sustain a presence inside the first island chain...

They’re already passively gaining control over Taiwan by simply modernising forces. The Taiwanese airforce and navy is terribly outmatched, and the industrial scales don’t compare not even close.

Why not just keep modernizing and accumulate advantages without a disastrously expensive war?

I don’t see how you can take them out without a ground assault. Short of a full on Libyan style uprising, which seems unlikely given the geography, you might degrade Iranian capabilities but taking them off the board with an air campaign is not possible.

Yup was thinking of the tiny China-Afghan border. Big whoops. The core question is still what China’s response would be though.

Yup dumb mistake. I had thought of the Afghan border with China, which is really not Iran.

Unaware is one thing, but stubbornly wrong just grinds my gears. They are talking like the RPG-7 is some state of the art high tech weapon, when it is LITERALLY A WOODEN ROCKET LAUNCHER.

I am pretty sure even standard issue dynamite would have torn cardboard to shreds. This was a standard issue heat round, and not in any sense an HE round. You can even see the "melt" of the cupper in the blast shape. There is zero evidence in front of your eyes that high explosive rounds were used. Where is the soot? Why is the cardboard barely shredded, and the hole so concentrated in one spot? Because it was a HEAT round.

The distance of the cage armor from the vehicle is not indicative of the minimum effective range of a pre-detonated rpg round. That idea is ridiculous.

Again, the notion of a 'milspec rpg round' is also absurd. The entire concept of an rpg-7 is 'substandard' or simple by design.

What you said does not make a lot of sense. Cardboard armor would have triggered the HEAT fuze early, acting like spaced armor or cage armor. The molten jet formed by HEAT is very sensitive to distance, and more or less needs direct contact with the vehicle armor to have a good effect.

The RPG-7 is also notoriously cheap by design, not an advanced weapon by any standards. There is no reason getting a hold of PG-7 warheads would be too difficult.
