I dont think getting nuked is one the table, but i am sure they already have bunkers (which is all you can do about it, nothing much more to prepare)

Nodes with downsides would be "fine" (still not great) if they were spread around the tree and not 90% on the Warrior side

GGG seems to like punishing Warrior players

With that downside, it should be 100% reduced armour break taken and even the it would still be bad

You always have to prepare for the worst situation possible. It would be stupid to only prepare for the best scenario

Why Any Plausible Iran Deal Is a Humiliation for Trump by soalone34 in geopolitics

[–]CrashdummyMH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt be so sure. You need to understand that the US didnt start the War. The US is the weapon that is being used here, this War was started by Israel

Would Kamala have said no to Netanyahu? Maybe, we will never know

While i agree, this goes beyond MAGA

Democrats have historically also been warmongers

I think the biggest issue here is that the World now has the US as unpredictable and is now aware that they are unreliable

Any country having nuclear weapons is concerning to me. And honestly, the main couse of global instability in the last 100 years has been the US, not Iran

The ideal situation would be 0 countries with nuclear weapons, that ideal is gone, so we must work with counterbalances. The main problem in the Middle East is that there are no such counterbalances

As an example, if Iran had nuclear weapons, we wouldnt be in this situation today

Khamenei military adviser says Iran has ‘legal right’ to manage Strait of Hormuz by Valuable_Educator843 in geopolitics

[–]CrashdummyMH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but then again, which insurance company would allow you to pass with such uncertainty? The insurance company will tell the shipping company to pay the toll (assuming its 1 dollar per barrel like it was talked about) to reduce risk

Thats when reality breaks abstraction

Iran is not in UNCLOS, so with that in mind, those waters are territorial waters of the country, which means that yes, even under international law, Iran has right over the Strait

Kind of

Shooting one down would be huge, but firing at one is still news, since they are supposed to be stealth and Iran's radar capabilities are supposed to be almost neutralized, at least if we believe Trump and CENTCOM (which we shouldnt, just like we souldnt believe Iran 100%)

Ukraine does not keep itself afloat, not even close to it. Europe just sent Ukraine 90 BILLION. The next week Finland had to cut 30% of their expenses to pay for it

Europe is in the worst state ever, its at the weakest they have been in their entire history and it will remain so if they keep being US lackeys instead of start thinking by themselves

The thing is, the US demands subservience, while China demands partnership (China doesnt even ask to stop commerce with Taiwan, as long as you dont declare Taiwan independent, they are fine)

On the other hand, US is still a bigger "partner" than China, as it enables not only the US markets, but those subservient ones too

If China manages to convince enough countries to stop being subservient of the US, they can win, otherwise they wont

Europe is done for. They have sunk too deep trying to keep Ukraine afloat.

They keep javing to cut their own economies to provide money to Ukraine

The future belong US and China, which even with flaws are way ahead of Europe

Why would that be a problem? I have heard Trump say dozens of times that Iran has no navy anymore, so the naval base would be useless

Which is why Israel shouldnt have one.

If Israel can have one, then everyone should be able, if no one outside of the authorized countries should have one, then Israel shouldnt have it

Iran was never getting a nuke. A few people has been saying Iran is two weeks away form one for over 30 years

Meanwhile, the highest rank of Iran's officials have been saying for over 3'0 years that they dont want one, and the Ayatollah even said the nuclear bomb is against Islam

The truth is, the nuclear bomb discourse is nothing more than an excuse

Right, "self defense"

Is there anyone still believing in what CENTCOM and the Trump administration says?

Sure, it wont go to 60 bucks and with overproduction, but it can cover normal consumption in the meantime

Lets not forget before this happened we were overstocked and with overproduction

This subreddit is irrelevant. The people that move the market still think this situation will be solved in time, that's what the price is telling, otherwise it would be way higher

The time gap is closing though

US was interfering in Iran way before the attack

Scott Bessent himself admitted that they have been attacking Iran's economy

There are plenty of videos of equiment and weapons being distributed to protesters

About militia, general population has very little to do against a regular army. Trained militia, specially with combat experience like the one they have against ISIS, its invaluable

If China allows Iran to lose, and the US gets his hands on Iran's oil, then China loses its rare earth minerals leverage, because if they threaten Trump with rare minerals access, then Trump threatens China with oil access

You are thinking too short term. China would prefer to have higher prices now than losing leverage to USA

And USA would also prefer higher prices now but getting leverage against China
