From Regime Change to “Final Blow to make them accept our conditions”. These people are hopeless.
The latter is the only ground operation that ever made sense in this extremely stupid war.

Not exactly surprising if anyone knows anything about the Islamic Republic and the Iran vs Iraq war (how it was fought).
Where is the Master of Bluff?
Has he forgotten how it works?
Seems daft to me but what do I know?
How would you extract these ground forces parachuted into sensitive security zones?
The man has set something in motion that he is completely unable to control. For the first time in my life, I almost (but just almost) pity Donald Trump. He is completely lost. He desperatly wants to end the war today, but is completely unable to.
His every loud mouthed braggard word kicks him in the mouth. Iran listens to his every word, his every claim of victory, and logically concludes that they will not give it to him in a way that he can spin it as such, unless they are forced. And he does not want to force them. He has just now, discovered that his power is limited, he cannot force them to do anything any longer. Do do that, he actually must make them surrender, and then he would need to invade. But he is never going to invade and Iran knows it. So here we are.
It’s super high risk, no doubt about that.
But to end the war without getting hold of the HEU would be completely criminally insane from a security political and geopolitical point of view, as Iran will be revanchist, more radical and certainly get those bombs asap.
Not my problem that the retards (americans) started the war. I am just pointing out that if they don’t get the HEU, all of this will be for fucking less than nothing.
The bigger problem on a world stage is China is watching and learning.
The USA are showing they have no stomach and even rely on Europe and African states to cushion the aftermath.
I have the feeling China is feeling much more confident now.
Yes, much could be written about a State stupid enough to start a war, but panics after a few days because of… markets, but I should not… ![]()
… except high oil and gas prices which might benefit someone. Then again it might cause renewables to become highly attractive.
I so hope the consequences of this absurd war is that the even the idiots on the US right wing, look to renewables for strategic reasons (because they don’t care about the environment). Then it would be at least some positive. But I fear not (though I hear much such talk from US academics). But as we see, Americans “needs” super cheap petrol. So I don’t know. It’s all depressing when it comes to Climate Change these days.
Anyway, so far, the only ones benefiting from this war is China and Russia (though Ukraine is working extremely hard lately to make sure that Russia’s windfall regarding the very high current oil prices for its war economy, will be far from as high as Ru hopes, though unfortunately, much was loaded in tankers long ago and they unload it now to prices far higher than what they calculated when the ships left port)
I note that it is technically a hit, just not a good enough hit to down it (Iran claimed it downed it, but they claim lots of nonsense in their military propaganda).
Americans are now essentially “stealing” what we have bought for Ukraine
Essentially almost all the ballstic missiles aimed at Israel are wasted. No military logic to the long range ballistic missile strikes.
I honestly find myself wondering if the Downfall memes have started yet.
… and Israel. Free to practice their scorched earth policy in southern Lebanon. There’s also their designs on Jordan and Syria which will become evident once Lebanon is dealt with.
I feel they would like a pause once they have got to their initial objectives in Lebanon to consolidate.
As it stands they are happy for the war to continue for a while longer.
Hard to know when Israel will actively seek a respite. If one doesn’t come they can just carry on their regional Zionist plans though they would prefer pauses for consolidation reasons.
I was watching Aljajira last night, they reported Iran hitting a F35, a F15, a F16, and a F18 so far in this war.
Yes, sorry. When I wrote it I had Israel as well in my mind, but for some reason it didn’t appear in the text. Agree of course that this is Sparta’s strategic interest (I note that most experts thinks it would be wiser for Israel to be like Athens, as we all know what happened to Sparta in the end). They are clearly the major driving force behind the war (or at least the war in this form and way, as lots of countries have wanted to curb iranian regional agression, ballistic missile and of course nuclear program since forever).
Some of them have been hit (F-35 was seriously damaged, pretty sure i posted it days ago), but the problem is that hitting them is not the same as shooting them down and many of Iran’s claims are only light damage to the aircrafts.
But in the case of the F-35, it is reportedly so damaged that it might never fly again. But pilot managed to land it at expiditionary base and survived.
A reminder that we are still waiting for the Ansar Allah activation, which I have written about previously.
On paper sure, in practice… Eagle Claw comes to mind. Unless they are planning to use Kurds or other local militia(?) with embedded SF elements. Still, the logistics alone would be nightmarish, let alone everything else.
