War with Iran

That pipeline would supply about 3 million barrels a day and would be vulnerable to attacks from Iran and the Houthi's.

About 20-30 million barrels a day goes through the strait with 85% of it supplying Japan India South Korea and China. What happens with that?
We’ll see how it works out through the other routes but the Houthis might target that. Feck knows really.
 
Trump is about to send 2000+ marines to occupy kharg island (which was just bombed).

The exact scenario the Iranians gave been preparing for for decades.

The exact scenario Trump has been planning for for minutes. At best.
Boots on the ground, exactly what's needed to properly sink the US into the shit.
It's all crazy stuff SigY.

Looking at it from an Israeli perspective I understand what they're doing. Yet antisemitic attacks will undoubtedly follow.

For peace the Iranian regime has to go, full stop. That will cost a lot of American soldiers lives if they go boots on the ground.

Lifting sanctions on Russia leaves Ukraine vulnerable now too.

United are playing tomorrow though 😁


The Iranian regime doesn't have to go for peace, Trump & Israel could just back down entirely. Which isn't going to happen, obvs.

This is an unlimited war for Iran and a limited war for the USA*.

Iran is the country that basically franchised suicide and car bombings. I suspect a ground assault on a nation of 90 million that are one of the world's leading producers of cheap military drones is going to be a "fuck around and find out" moment.

The slaughter of normal iranians for protesting was horrific, I would expect an awful lot more than that would die if there is a ground invasion.


*In a limited war, there is no existential threat. In an unlimited or total war, there is. It's a lot harder to beat a foe if you're engaged in a limited war and they're in an unlimited war, as Russia found out.
 
That will cost a lot of American soldiers lives if they go boots on the ground.
“We think they should put a president in or the head of the country that’s going to be able to do something peacefully for a change. They’ve been doing this for 47 years, killing people for 47 years. Whether it’s the barracks or even the SS Cole where they were involved, very strongly, they always denied it,” Trump said. “But they were very strongly involved and all of the people that died through the roadside bombs died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms. A face that’s been so badly damaged.”
