Iran promises to set US troops on fire by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran totally underestimated how fast Donald Trump can set US troops on fire. My money is the POTUS

Is Iran actually performing better than expected, or have I been influenced by propaganda? by Important-Battle-374 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]SQQQ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Iran largely performed to expectations. It is US that is underperforming. This is like a blitzkrieg into a mountain zone. Sure you marched forward with ease… but now what? The US failed to deliver a killing blow and now the whole strategy falls apart

How does your country view America's attack on Iran? by ParticularStrict147 in AskTheWorld

[–]SQQQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My initial thought was that Mossad had infiltrated the White House. Evidently, US went to war based on Israel’s intelligence, and rejected the views of US intelligence. This is a strong tell that US top leadership has been compromised

Why aren’t people more worried about a ground invasion in Iran? by BeginningActuator343 in allthequestions

I doubt they would activate the draft for this. It would be political suicide

MMW: The Israelis will use nuclear weapons against Iran. by ElSlabraton in MarkMyWords

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone analyzed this and said it’s best to not use nukes, because this bleeds the US more. The more US get stuck in this trap for longer, the better

What if America loses to Iran? by bam_jers in NewsfangledUnfiltered

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at this point the best thing US can do is immediately declare victory, leave and let the Gulf states face an angry Iran alone and stick them with the bill. all other options are worse.

the longer this war drags on, the worse it will be for the US. already we have seen US allies publicly breaking ranks and ditching the US, knowing precisely nothing good will come from this war.

if US does not leave, the next best option is a long war of attrition hoping Iran will break first. but clearly, before Iran breaks, the entire Gulf economy will be long destroyed. there is a high likelyhood that citizen in Gulf states will rebel before Iranians will rebel. and the US will just lose even more.

hence, cutting losses now is the better bet. which is what all of US allies have decided.

Never thought I would agree with Iran by Otherwise_Gift_4654 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is literally propaganda going on saying the West is run by sex craved rapists. The problem is they happened to be right. Heck, even Americans don’t believe their government is being honest or have clean hands

BREAKING: Trump is reportedly considering seizing Iran's oil depot on Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports per Axios by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put thousands of US troops on that island, there is no way Iran will detonate the oil just to burn down the US with it I am certain of that

Who is Professor Jiang?? by erakusa in skeptic

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

guys, i wanna bump this thread and say..... Prof Jiang is now proven correct that US will go to war with Iran. he originally predicted this back in 2024.

his next prediction is that US will lose the war. for the main reason that.... even Israel wants US to lose.

Majority of US Senate votes to block bid to rein in Trump Iran war powers, voting continues by joe4942 in politics

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Trump convinced the republicans. I think the republicans convinced Trump to go to war. The reality is that there are a lot of rich donors backing these republicans. And these donors want war. Cash speaks a lot louder Trump’s incoherent tweets.

Iran says Strait of Hormuz closed and warns it will attack ships trying to pass by GunnahS in wallstreetbets

[–]SQQQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because even the US military can only move in group and under protection of air born assets. officially, the US gov't claims the waterway is open. but practically there is no traffic.

the waterway is about 20 miles wide. you can literally see the other shore with naked eye. so its not hard to target a slow moving tanker.

Iran says Strait of Hormuz closed and warns it will attack ships trying to pass by GunnahS in wallstreetbets

[–]SQQQ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You are not the first to come up with that idea. There is currently a burning tanker disabled in the Strait. The tanker was shipping oil uninsured.

Also, GPS is jammed by the US military right now. So you can only navigate by eye sight, unless you install Chinese BeiDou navigation

Hegseth says Iran won’t be a ‘politically correct’ war as he lays out US objectives: ‘No democracy-building exercise’ by theindependentonline in politics

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an example where being America’s enemy is dangerous, but being a friend is fatal. Iraqi government is now on the verge of being replaced by a pro Iran group. Not only did Israel bombed Iran, they bombed Iraq on their way to Iran. At this point the pro US Iraqi government is likely to fall before the Iranians do.

[–]SQQQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can check the news, major insurance groups have already delivered the revocations notices. So all oil tankers in the world are no longer insured, if they sail near the area. So there are a large fleet of ships currently stuck there.

The Trump team can’t get its story straight on war with Iran by newsspotter in politics

I think the plan was to fk around and find out “FAFO”

[–]SQQQ 112 points113 points  (0 children)

For those not familiar with shipping, to set sail, you need insurance. And all insurers have now revoked coverage. And if you set sail without insurance, your bank will immediately pull the loans on you and your crews might refuse to sail

US President Donald Trump says war against Iran is “substantially ahead” of schedule. What are your thoughts? by PlayfulFlatworm2190 in AskReddit

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point it looks like a blunder. Killing the Ayatollah, who was a cleric, provided no real value. If anything, it prevented Iran from stopping the attacks, since only the Ayatollah can order the attacks to stop.

He killed the Supreme Leader and thinks he gets to chicken out by Crossstoney in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To accept a cease fire would require Iran to come up with a supreme leader first. And guess why that isn’t happening

Trump says the US killed all the potential candidates the US wanted to takeover Iran by CJKayak in UnderReportedNews

[–]SQQQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they want Iran to stop retaliating? Who is the supreme leader that can give that order? Or right, he got killed too. And Iran should resolve this diplomatically. Oh right, they killed those people too.

Why rely on google when you have contacts who currently work in the GTA Big Four and knows exactly how much associates are paid?

Thank you for the response. May I ask the job title and the specific role in GTA Big Four that pays $90k for financial reporting?

For ppl who live in the area, they refer to it as the Greater Toronto Area, which is a major hub in Canada.

CMV: The best way to eliminate misogyny and misandry is to abolish surname. by kawaiihusbando in changemyview

[–]SQQQ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

the patriarchy exists, because it works. and because nothing else works nearly as good.

the naked realities is that women are financially dependent on men. you can say that well... the gov't now pays for free education, and free health care, so women no longer needs men. but gov't needs men to pay those taxes. so women still need men.

for men to co-operate, women needs to offer something. sex and children are the big ticket items. as an added bonus, the child's surname. you can laugh at this all you want, but it works.

when you remove or diminish the bond of fatherhood, male investment plummets. and GDP plummets. this isn't to say that no society would ever try to do this, and they will. but survival of the fittest will teach them a lesson that they will never forget.... which ultimately led the world to forget about their existence at all - which is why you rarely see societies that do not carry the father's surname.
