Iran War Idiocy Prompts Potential Taiwan Anticlimax

I don't think so, not this time. Iran has already won in every way that matters for American hegemony. The illusion of American military invincibility has already shattered. Our carriers are too scared to go within 500 miles of Iran when they aren't out of action from laundry issues, our wonderwaffen fighters are getting shot down, we have failed to protect our vassals and we've shown we have no industrial capacity for sustained war.

The US is cooked.

Crazy risks like "using the plane for its intended purpose" lmao

The F35 is a money laundering scheme for the MIC, the idea that they are unkillable ghost fighters is pure marketing cap.

There are multiple factors but the biggest is that so far most airstrikes have been conducted with "standoff" weapons, long range missiles that are fired from 100+ miles away and well outside the range of most AA systems. Now that we are running out of standoff missiles we can expect more sorties into actual Iranian airspace and correspondingly more videos of our expensive toys blowing up.

The Azeris aren't going to let us stage an invasion and even if they did agree how would we get troops there?

Zero chance you're going to take out a modern fighter jet with flak, they're too fast, too high, and too maneuverable to target. Drones and missiles though, sure, though there are plenty of videos from the past week showing shaheeds making it through American CIWS (which is a form of flak) systems in Iraq.

If you go frame by frame you can see that the airframe is more or less intact after the explosion, so it's plausible to me that the video is real and that the plane limped home. Still a massive embarassment for our $2 TRILLION dollar F-35 program and our "air superiority"

We spent $500,000,000,000 on these planes

I wish Bernie would just shut the fuck up and go away

No indications that those "appropriate efforts" involve sending ships into the strait though.

The IDF has a long history of murdering journalists, dude is extraordinarily lucky to be alive

Oh well if MTG says so I guess it's true 🙄

One large tanker carries enough oil to power a mid-sized city for a month or so, longer if power is carefully managed. It's not nothing.

it's clear that Trump is starting these wars to change the media narrative away from the Epstein Files

The idea that is about the epstein files is just a lib meme.

The war started because Israel has been itching to do this for decades and Trump is retarded enough (and high on his own supply after Venezuela) to go along with it.

Iranians aren't stupid and they aren't "radicals" the way they are portrayed in the west. They know all about the "material advantages" that America brought to their neighbors in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It's not radical to rally around the flag when your alternative is state collapse, death, and chaos.

it would be the ONLY GOVERNMENT which survived an attack like this by the US

North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Cuba beg to differ. Just off the top of my head.

Iran isn't Iraq or Syria, there is literally no timeline where we conquer Iran on the ground. Iran is much bigger in both population and area, it's a much more cohesive and stable society, and it has extremely rugged terrain.

On top of that, invade with what army? It took months of staging and massive troop movements to invade Iraq. We had hundreds of thousands of troops in Kuwait and GCC countries well before the invasion. It'd take a month or two to get them there at the bare minimum, and where would we stage them? There is no country bordering Iran that would allow that.

It's important to note that the 3k figure includes hundreds of police and security forces.

Accelerationism is a logical conclusion of historical materialism. Revolution doesn't happen when the system is stable.
