7·1 day agoI can’t imagine that Trump actually understands the concept.
They’ve been preparing for this for years, and estimates are they produce hundreds of missiles a month, and their drone production is distributed which makes it hard to take out. Once the US runs through their interceptor stocks, then Iran can start really going to town.
that describes the US fairly accurately as a country right now
I imagine there is a limit to how much propaganda people can swallow, especially when their standard of living continues to decline.
Oh I’m not taking anything he says seriously, I just think it’s funny that he’s now in a panic realizing things might not turn out as the neocons wanted
China’s already done plenty, including sending weapons and providing intelligence support. Short of starting WW3, I don’t see what else China can do here.
To be fair, they haven’t fought a country that could meaningfully strike back since WW2.
Seems like the war is gonna last as long as Iran decides it’s gonna last.
Watching a raging alcoholic TV host conduct a major war was truly incredible.
exactly, there’s this delusion that the US can control the escalation here, but now they’ve taken on a country that can fight back
yeah it’s pretty messed up

I’d argue the whole mystique billionaires have been building up kind of fell away as soon as people like Musk got unfiltered access to social media. All of a sudden you can see these are just regular people who got supremely lucky.

I’ll be honest, Carlson saving the world from WW3 was not on my bingo card.
Basically, I think that’s how I’m reading it too. Trying to disrupt China’s oil imports almost certainly appears to be part of the plan, but naturally it only forces both China and Russia to cooperate more creating a nightmare scenario for the US. And of course, the countries that get hurt the most are US vassals in Europe, Japan, and occupied Korea. All of them were hugely dependent on oil and LNG shipments going through the Strait of Hormuz, which are now cut off. China will be fine, US aligned countries, not so much.
