They messed up the cavalry charge timing hence the shitshow(new Mossad chief was convinced this would work whilst he predecessor was against it.).

30,000 is literal atrocity propaganda that worked well on soft headed westerners to prep the ground for war.

First hit by US was a school full of girls, targets chosen by Israelis who are now hitting water supplies, now economic and energy infrastructure.

The Great Satan indeed.


War had 27% support in the US. It wasn't planned. Strategy was poor. They thought a decapitation woud be the answer. They didn't plan for a long war.
They underestimated the Iranians. They didn't anticipate the straits of hormuz or inflation. They can't deal with asymmetric warfare. They have no decent options now.

The Iranians are shooting the lights out

First off Iran ain't knocking no one's lights out...

The place is a basket case and has been for many years.

The current government is bad, the new government if it ever happens will be controlled by its paymasters (US, Israel) so it's not right either.

People are dying and there is nothing positive about any of it.

Anyone supporting that government in currently needs to detach themselves away from their hate of US and Israel as they ain't a standard that you'd settle for
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Israel has no air defence. The
Iranians knocked out the radars

They are lobbing in cluster bombs and doing huge damage.

In geopolitical terms this is the equivalent of Fermanagh winning the Ulster Championship.

I think Iran's aim is to stymie world economics by blocking the Strait of Hormuz and then helped by the Houthsi' in Yemen blocking off The Red Sea.

They suffer...so will everybody else.

A good tactic.

4% inflation expectedin UK and up north.

Another argument against the Union.

I fear we'll be getting similar.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

It'll be all over Europe.

Australia cutting duty on fuels now. Asian countries rationing fuel while other countries are switching power off early every vening.

Israel and Trump have a lot to answer for.

All of the domestic political theatre was designed to keep the plebs at each others throats was by design. They knew how unpopular this war would be PLUS the damage it would do economically.

Jewish supremacists are entirely to blame for this. Trump surrounded himself with them by choice, he is not being blackmailed IMHO this is just what he always was[In 1988 he spoke of seizing Kharg island for example].

Post Oct 7th he was nailed on.

Mark Levin, frothing at the mouth talking about seizing uranium is an obvious lie to justify boots on the ground. Jews of course wont be joining in with infantry efforts as confirmed by Israel. Iran will slaughter US troops and this will give Levin more fodder.

How much more humiliation can Americans endure?

Europe needs to expel US troops at this stage. They are Israeli proxies.


seafoid

If troops go in they'll capture Kharg and do something for the cameras declare victory and leave.

They won't be able to hold it.
Most of the info coming out of the White House is bollocks.

There is a difference between thinking this war is illegal, illconceved, strategically and politically inept and rudderless and supporting the Ayotollahs.

The simple reality is they profoundly underestimated the resilience of Iran militarily and politically and are stunned that the Iranians are doing exactly what they said they would do. Iran isn't winning, but it isn't losing either.

Not sure why people think Iran is doing well in this conflict? It is being systematically pulverised. Iran has got a lot of low hanging fruit in terms of it's resistance strategy - economic pressure, the choke point of Hormuz is an open goal and a plentiful supply of cheap drones that it can launch from anywhere, they've certainly a huge nuisance value, but to characterise as much more  than that is balls imo.
