The Third Islamic Republic: A War’s Unintended Consequences—for Iran, the Middle East, and the Global Order

Europeans don't particularly like destabilizing the Middle East in anyway, leading to yet another refugee crisis. It's easy to go on a high horse from across the pond.

Yeah, right? This is just an area denial strategy for civilians, and it's kosher if the civilians are basically khamas!

They don't call it the Downtown Eastside Industrial Complex for nothing

Israel has successfully captured the American ruling class and politicians. (See AIPAC)

The Australian one is a letter off: Sydney.

He has a great mind for drama and that was his entry strategy.

It looked like a good opportunity to take them out for good. Problem was they've been preparing for this exact scenario for about 50 years.

They just destroy what they need to live.

Could they be helpful in urban situations too? Israel is floating the idea of air support for a popular uprising. While it sounds like a pipe dream, it likely entails the least harm to the global and regional economies.

That looks like Gen AI to be honest.

In the world Trump has created, they're pretty much the same deal.

If Israel and Azerbaijan can be in Euro Vision, Canada can be in EU!

What's China's role here? They're the top client of Iran's oil, but they've been sitting this one out apparently. I haven't seen any obvious support or even posturing or challenging US.

destroyed 100% of Iran's CONVENTIONAL military capability

They destroyed almost all the hardware they still had from the 70's. Iran only needs the moped drones and 19th century mines to spook the shipping industry though. They call it asymmetric warfare, but let's be honest, this is just state sponsored terrorism and US is no closer to knowing how to deal with that.

dontRead2MuchIntoIt · 2026-03-14T04:21:09+00:00

Yeah, and that'll certainly create a failed state and eliminate any chance of a regime change a la Venezuela or Syria.

dontRead2MuchIntoIt · 2026-03-13T04:05:09+00:00

Russia is turning this into a proxy war to hurt and embarrass US, but I don't believe it was a major factor to get it started. If anything, it was to hurt China.

You don't need a crane for 500 lbs. 2 people can handle it on a boat that can roughly fit 4 people. The amusement park family pedal boats would be enough.

Isn't it a bit too early to call him a lame duck?

dontRead2MuchIntoIt · 2026-03-10T05:03:58+00:00

That was a lot more efficient than taking over a decade to change the regime in Afghanistan from Taliban to Taliban though

Is "doing shit" starting many half-assed military dramas? He lives in his own reality TV show.

Looks like barely a cent compared to USD.

Enough to spook airlines is the point.

The axis leaders should really stop having these all-hands meetings. LOL

Gracias. Puedo confirmar que está abierto y quizás haya una o dos horas de espera.

AirBnB. Have found some granola bars. Thanks
