It's noticeable how they say that "Iran is very dangerous" and "Iran is weak, already defeated by our strength" at the same time. Very orwellian and I believe that scholars in fascism have noted that this is one of the common tactics they use.

I listened to General Caine's claims and he said that the US, like Russia in Ukraine, didn't even achieve air supremacy yet in Iran and can only fly in safe zones not covered by Iranian Anti-aircraft batteries. The US only has some local air superiority in various areas. The US strategy is just to stay as far away as possible to minimize casualties. The Iranians on the other hand want the US forces to land and fight them hand to hand with their numerical superiority on the ground.

Due to the lack of SEAD, the US is forced to use fiendishly expensive long range precision guided munitions (missiles, HIMARS rockets, operational level drones etc). Pretty soon, if not already the US has used as much Precision guided munitions as the 2003 Iraq war and twice as much as what was given to Ukraine by US-NATO in the first 2 years of the Ukraine war.

This unnecessary war already significantly weakened the US military- many years of PGM production has been used up in the first 2 weeks+.

China is doing what it always does: testing the West’s reaction with pressure and military exercises rather than immediately escalating.

If the US had 15% of its energy sources threatened it would immediately start military action lol compared to China who always tries to blend into the wallpaper.

Given the available open-source evidence it appears that the US already lost the war and doesn't have means to win it without a total collapse of the Iranian state/military.

Another theory that is floating about among YT geopolitics influencers is that the war's main target is not Iran but it's mainly a CIA-Pentagon operation to exert more control over global oil trade. The US after all have been encircling Iran since around 2000.

It is unknown which faction was more influential in making Trump start the war? Israel/Christian Zionists/APIAC or the US military/MIC/CIA. It seems like in the public, blaming the Jews is the stronger reason than blaming our armed forces and the continuation of agenda of our intelligence apparatus.

Thank you.

The vulnerability of the global economy is such that a single $50-10,000 drone can threaten the global oil price- such a low entry barrier with huge results.

"QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi says Iran’s attacks have damaged facilities that produce ⁠17 percent of the company’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and it will take ‌three to five years to repair them.

State-owned QatarEnergy may have to declare force majeure on long-term contracts for up to five years for LNG supplies bound for Italy, Belgium, South ⁠Korea and China because of the damage, ⁠al-Kaabi said.

“I mean these are long-term contracts that we have to declare force majeure. We already declared, but that was a shorter term. Now it’s whatever the period is,” he said.

The damaged infrastructure cost about $26bn to build, al-Kaabi said."

A significant amount of the world's natural gas supplies might be impacted in these recent attacks. If true, a problem that won't be easily fixed. We might see huge price increases for at least a few years. This is of course just one of the potentially disastrous consequences of this idiotic war.
