    “So… we’re running out of interceptor missiles… but… we’re sure they’ll run out of shaheds any day now!”

    Like one side here has prepared and planned extensively to fight this war, with great awareness of what the opponent can do and built a strategy to work with in the constraints of what they can do to best exploit the vulnerabilities of their opponent. The other side just did a line of coke and smashed their forehead in to a big red button that says “fuck this shit up”.

      I absolutely think that we (US) will be fucking decimated in this war and it will further hasten the collapse, maybe even see our soil be invaded as a result

        We won’t. Everyone says that every time we go to war in the ME, and we always waffle stomp them. ME armies are vastly overrated and no one outside of Israel has logistics worth a damn. The real problem is after the Iranian military is defeated, what do we do then? No real goals and competent exit strategy means we’re creating a new Isis or Taliban with the power vacuum.

      You should read old unclassified intelligence reports. I’m sure you’ll change your mind.

    If only there was someone who would sometime about it. Someone who people gave power to be a voice for them. If only. Maybe next time
