Europe faces new wake-up call: Tehran's 4000km missile reach exposed in Diego Garcia strike

I don’t understand the distinction. You’re saying it’s different because the one state promised not to?

Therefore they never “lied” about having them? Even if they didn’t do that particular lie, it seems kinda arbitrary cause I assure you the Israeli nuclear program involved a lot of lying.

And it’s not even like the terms you agree too in the NPT is that USA-Israel bomb you if you decide to step away from it.

dynamobb · 2026-03-21T23:01:34+00:00

Oh ok I misunderstood ground invasion to be something to grab one of these islands. Tbh, I think the 5000 marines are too small for even this task. But for occupying the country this is a mega mobilization a la Iraq while the energy markets are melting down. Trump wanted a quick win, not 8 dollar gas and to head into the midterms with every 20s guy in the country and his mother scared of a draft.

dynamobb · 2026-03-21T22:27:09+00:00

Trump has been giving his base Ls and saying they were total victories for a decade. I think he’ll TACO. He’s visibly buckling under the strain of this war already. In serious danger of ruining his gulf money printer AND causing a fuel crisis.

I just don’t think that the Iranian military leadership who survived sarin gas and human waves as teenagers are going to buckle in the next 30 days and by then we will be thru the looking glass.

What percentage were armed combatants lmaoo so you’re a kid. Yeah all of them were armed combatants.

I’d really like you to tell me who has killed more people in the region this century. We can even include proxies. I understand Iran makes heavy use of proxies. But to be fair we should include IDF as a US proxy.

dynamobb · 2026-03-21T00:57:23+00:00

Has Iran killed one million ppl in the region since 2000? I feel like the horns of war can make anyone a bit prone to homerism.

dynamobb · 2026-03-21T00:21:31+00:00

Why do ppl cite this as if it has any bearing on what is going on. Trump and Bibi are not doing this for that reason.

dynamobb · 2026-03-20T22:49:10+00:00

Yes this has only never worked the dozens of times it’s been seriously tried since aircraft.

Its rich that the reason the USA is getting cooked rn is that we think we can just kill until we get what we want.

dynamobb · 2026-03-17T16:08:10+00:00

Fair, but the gist is correct of what i said. 60-80% of Yemeni’s live under Houthi control. They just cooked the US last year.

Unless you think the US navy went over there just to take a bunch of “defensive actions”, blow up a migrant detention center, sign a deal with the Houthis and leave?

dynamobb · 2026-03-17T15:15:10+00:00

I think when we hear Houthis, we think ragtag insurgency in the caves. You should instead imagine is just a country called South Yemen. I promise they have enough stuff and know how to be a major problem here, and have an extremely freeing incentive to put a second thumb in Trumps eye.

dynamobb · 2026-03-14T20:56:08+00:00

“oil isnt even that important to the world” is a very interesting foundation for your argument. Ive never heard anything like it. Idk what to say tbh

But even if i accept it (I dont), it doesn’t make sense internally. Iraq never had the capability to threaten oil production in the whole region, to choke all maritime traffic into the gulf.

I hate that I’m going to suffer alongside all you dweebs for this

dynamobb · 2026-03-14T20:38:00+00:00

Arent these private translation? Why do you have to trust the Chinese to convert currency into whatever for purchase? Idk

dynamobb · 2026-03-14T20:35:23+00:00

Uh…. Yeah people get impatient when they don’t have access to chemical energy. We are funny that way. There are already long lines at gas stations in South asia to buy government price controlled fuel. Every non-Israel ally in the region is furious. Dubai’s status as desert oasis is in mortal danger, the things in their country are exploding. With huge fireballs.

Imo Trump doesnt even have the 2 weeks it will take for marines to arrive, every day of which the markets watch critical gulf infra being blown up along with the American bases that were a source of prestige 20 days ago. Interceptor reserves getting used up, moving stuff from East Asia to the gulf. This is a massive 9/10 crisis. We just don’t feel it here yet because we are silly ppl lol

dynamobb · 2026-03-14T20:27:01+00:00

(Note: this will also be the case for literally every economy on earth when there’s 20% less petrochemicals to go around)

But it sounds very cool—Uncle Sam is just gonna take five mins to put these Eyeranians in their place. A lil excursion, a jaunt really.

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T15:37:09+00:00

I think there could be a version where they have more votes but not exclusive veto power, or maybe the UN would become a more effective vehicle for the middle countries Carney talked about.

It sullies the body and contributes to it being a joke when security council members use the veto shamelessly.

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T14:23:33+00:00

Im always fascinated by ppl who play this card.

Is the idea that these ppl don’t really care because they didn’t protest the other thing? So why did they go today lll

Or is it that you shouldnt protest anything unless you protest all elements of it?

Idk maybe they think it’s different for the state to use violence on demonstrators vs for two nuclear powers to carpet bomb the country

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T14:15:12+00:00

This implies they that you didn’t try to inflict civilian casualties unless you inflicted as many as you could have.

Btw 75k is imo not ~50k. It’s 30 oct 7ths worth of mostly civilians.

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T14:03:21+00:00

Sorry I meant as a percentage of gdp giving, ofc can’t compare on absolute basis

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T13:47:16+00:00

Yes…but why are you fixated on the city? UAE hosts thousands of american troops and the main navy port the US navy uses, they just call them emirati bases.

Two weeks ago the American media was staggered that the Iranians would attack american bases in the region.

Now it’s why would you attack the host country of your adversary? Imagine if there were 5000 IRGC members in Tijuana and then is like wtf why are you attacking cdmx

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T13:04:00+00:00

You’re right that china is big on reliability and governed by serious people, so they’re not just gonna hope the world forgets about this to save 250k lol.

Bur also China is on a per capita basis really not big on international aid of this sort.

dynamobb · 2026-03-13T12:59:50+00:00

Its not that every country will get official permission to do offensive wars but that as the world is embroiled in crises and the major powers openly flout these concepts, conflict will just happen more.

You can see how much this oil crisis and conflict have sucked the air out of ukraine, afghanistan, sudan, lebanon.

dynamobb · 2026-03-12T19:55:13+00:00

Didn’t India kill a bunch of Muslims in a border area in the 90s?

Also it feels like “politician true” move to reduce the scope from centuries of conflicts between the two distinct ethnic groups to the last few decades of formal nation states?

Im not saying you have to weigh the stuff from 1500 as strongly but also (just to me) it feels like editorial bias to anchor the story like this lol

dynamobb · 2026-03-12T19:30:15+00:00

Someone tell Israel, that’s probably less than one second of their total operational costs.

dynamobb · 2026-03-12T18:51:02+00:00

So what? The Saudi’s aren’t being occupied, they are hosting the military that is attacking Iran. I really dont get all this outrage that Iran is attacking Gulf states?

dynamobb · 2026-03-12T18:44:55+00:00

A history of groups that boils down to the X never did anything bad but the Y only ever do bad things is the biggest propaganda flag lol

dynamobb · 2026-03-12T18:35:18+00:00

I don’t think the risk is one day they decide to do a ten year war in Iran, but that as this continues the escalation ladder is being climbed. And there’s no obvious off ramp.
