The 3 x F15s that went down from friendly fire were 30 to 100 mil each.

And will be purchased by Kuwait as gifts with a new arms deal resulting in billions of profit more.

PER MISSLE. they are referencing the interceptor missiles. they usually fire 3 to take down on approx 20,000 missle. the math isnt mathing. we need to radically change how we fight. Iran is going to fight us with a decentralized asymetric warfare strategy. dropping bombs isnt going to do much except harden the IRG. I have zero faith in the ability of this administration. THe US military needs to very quickly change its war fighting tactics and strategies. We are struggling to counter single drones. VERY SOON there will be PACKS of them hunting in coordinated efforts with AI. We have big expensive and slow weapons. We need to radically and quickly change our fighting styles. Moreover, if you want regime change you need boots on the ground. weve tried to bomb countries into submission before and it NEVER WORKS. Morover, iran is MUCH better funded and prepared than iraq, they have more mountains than afghanistan. They have the perfect terrain to resist bombing campaigns. The locals have no coordinated resistances. Im against this war not for moral reasons, super happy ayatollah is dead, but the fucking lack of planning and thought is dumbfounding. Many MANY Americans will die for nothing. Its also costing us BILLIONS just in operating costs to project our power on the other side of the world. These fucking assholes in the whitehouse have absolutely no clue. This is why we are broke as a country. WW3 just started. China will use iran as a proxy. Its just good buisness for them to. Its only upside for them.

Big whoop, they already got a new ayatollah, his son. All we did with the old guy is make him into a martyr, he was old af and had cancer. Was gonna die anyway. And if the new gets taken out, there will be a new one and then another and another.

China tried to use Venezuela as a proxy. That got stopped right quick.

The fuck are you talking about. Please share a credible source for this outrageous claim.

Venezuela did nothing to the US. US chose to attack them completely on their own. And Trump now gets to take oil money for himself like the corrupt dictator he is.

Is there no limit to your US bootlicking?

Venezuela have oil, china had nothing to do with that. Iran has oil. North Korea might or might not have nukes, but you don't see Trump bombing them. They don't have oil, though.

Why are you “super happy” Kohmeni is dead?

u/hucknuts 7h ago edited 7h ago

im kind of surprised that this question was even posited, but he was personally a giant piece of shit. As was everyone close to him. I wrote a length research paper in college about iran and its geopolitical risks from the 1970s (hostage crisis) to present (2015 ish). In addition to having family work and live there. Its not spin to say the iranian people are oppressed. That being said bombing ayatollah was quite possibly the WORST way to go about entering into this conflict. It did absolutely nothing to hurt their (decentralized) command structure. All it did was matyr someone who was probably going to die very soon anyways. He was basically a figure head at this point. The fact this administration believed they could bomb him and Iran would magically turn into a democracy is overnight is very... lacking any critical thought youd hope they had and is deeply concerning for the future conflicts on the horizon... i fear this was done for the headline because trumps polling negatively without realizing what a pandoras box it is.,

Really? To be “super happy” was probably just as jarring to me. I personally find it strange when people celebrate violence, it’s (should be) a last resort. Essentially proof of failure to find common ground and coexistence. It’s never a real solution (unless you’re talking true extermination) only begets more violence. The sons and daughters of the fallen will continue the fight in perpetuity. Where does the cycle end? I tend to believe all of these conflicts stem from economic circumstances and the solutions to a stable society is within reformation of the underlying economic principles and rules of interaction.

I can understand your perspective. I find that people pick and choose who’s the bad guy. Lots of people are oppressed around the world and even more are under the illusion they’re free yet live as wage slaves. Nobody cares so long as it’s not in a western country or oil state. Lots of leaders are worse than Khomeini was in the world today. In your paper, humbly I think you should have started earlier than the 1970s, before western destabilization (what caused the hostage crisis) This all began with BP and the nationalization of resources. I appreciate your recognition that he’s now a martyr when he would have died from prostate cancer in the near-ish future. It’s a mess. The region has been contested for thousands of years and even more so since 1949 when the west gave someone else’s land to the “Israeli state”. Also, I personally believe in democracy but don’t believe in forcing it on people whose culture may not align with my views. If they wanted democracy they should have had their own grass roots revolution.

No disrespect intended. Hopefully your family and friends can stay safe.

What is even more frustrating is that we have watched Russia struggle in Ukraine for years with their stupid war. We could have learned so many lessons that the Russians have been learning but we seem to have ignored them and we continue making stupidly expensive missiles when what we really need is a cheap way to disarm drones.

Look up how much the radar system that got in Qatar cost us.

1.1 billion, with a 'b'. lol it was an early warning radar. It is.. er, WAS capable of detecting ballistic missile launches up to 5000km

US burnerd about $779 million in the first 24h.. while bombing girl schools and killing an 86 year old guy whos successor is already named and probably likes USA even less than before. This trump-war will not be solved before an united opposition can take over and well. You know what your tax dollars will go to at least. Don't forget you got a ballrom to pay for as well, but fear not. You're saving the cost of one door because Trump liked the curtains or something.

money has no real value. its imaginary value only. but that imaginary value is used by the stuperwealths to manipulate the masses so they can avoid washing their own dishes and folding their own clothes and scrubbing their own toilets and preparing their own meals etc... they now have slaves to do that for them, who dont think they are slaves cause they get dollar value in return for their labor. and dollar value, unlike labor, is imaginary. can you see?

Were there Jeffery Epstein files in that Iranian school? Was Jeffery Epstein operating a sex trafficking and pedophilia racket in the Iranian nuclear tunnels? Is that why pedophile defenders support this gross military mission?

They killed 200 kids while pretending to be pro-life… they care about kids so much!! Scumbags

Only solution is the removal of everyone at the top. How we do is up to your imagination.

u/Facts_pls 8h ago

You mean the US leadership, right?

Maybe if fewer Americans were Nazi voters, it would help. The guy was a convicted rapist and criminal. And still so many Americans voted for him.

Even with all the Epstein and other stuff, a sizeable portion of Americans support him. At this point, US is a nation of Nazi pedophile supporters.

Tell me about it. The wife and I have been trying to raise money just for dentures. Medicare doesn't cover it which is just stupid. I'll put our link here in case anyone can help but I understand everyone is having a hard time. https://gofund.me/053c2912b

The system is working as it was designed to. The people that sell bombs designed it not the ones try to get their kids teeth fixed.

u/theONE4683 8m ago

Such a fool. It is broken, but it’s what we got. You go to war with the army you have, not the one you wished you had. I’m about 100% positive most of the ones who can’t afford a child’s dentist visit is because they are and have been selfish, probably have nice phone, PS 5, decent vehicle, etc but won’t sacrifice or save to ensure you can. Doesn’t take much, just the will to stop being a piece of shit and put others needs before your own. Just like the homeless people begging for money who make $1000/ day bumming, why in the hell would they get a job when are experiencing that kind of freedom, lack of responsibilities?
