@MrCherr39485759@AiofTikTok@libsoftiktok@SecofWar I mean this is how he always talks lol. In extremes and absolutes. If you are brain dead to the point where you can’t understand that, at this point I don’t know what to tell you lmao.
@FurkanGozukara The craziest part about their capabilities is that they operate literally on the sea floor and never emerge. It’s also completely unmanned now thanks to the U.S
The US military is terrified of this. Iran's fleet of Ghadir-class stealth mini submarines sit completely silent on the shallow floor of the Persian Gulf. They are almost impossible to detect by sonar and can launch devastating surprise torpedo ambushes on US aircraft carriers.
@alanapar01@dugger14678@Osint613 I’m aware it’s a defensive alliance. They don’t meet any of the quotas and each year they become weaker. China would be a much more useful ally and it would be more important for trade.
@CastlesAddict@dugger14678@Osint613 See, even that framing belies your ignorance... NATO is a defensive alliance that includes the US - the only time it any country has ever called on the other allies using Article 5 was when the US did it...
@alanapar01@dugger14678@Osint613 There is only 3 countries that can independently manage a large scale war. Russia, China, and the U.S. NATO has been nothing more than an ankle weight for a while now.
@CastlesAddict@dugger14678@Osint613 Because that is how you build coalitions... yeah, they created chaos and since they did it alone they need to undue the chaos alone too. Welcome to the real world.
@alanapar01@dugger14678@Osint613 I literally said that’s fine if they don’t want to join the invasion 😂 I understand that’s the consequence of not building up first. I said protecting THEIR OWN shipping is up to them lmao. I also don’t see them as being useful allies for a coalition lol.
@alanapar01@dugger14678@Osint613 Why would they make a case and allow Iran to prepare for this lmao. Because they didn’t they were able to quickly kill leadership create chaos and destroy much of military infrastructure and naval assets. If you know you are going to war just do it.
@CastlesAddict@dugger14678@Osint613 Except they only are doing anything because the US and Israel attacked... It is indeed the US who lit this on fire - which would have been fine if only they at least tried to make the case for it first... Seriously, the US broke this they own fixing it.
@CastlesAddict@nobonbonx1@Tomato00603055@RealJohnGaltFla@ArmchairW They’ve been ramping up the bombing. There is no indication their military infrastructure is getting destroyed, and their leaders have been getting assassinated for 15 years lol not saying it’s a good thing but they clearly have a bigger plan
I hear about Larijani getting assassinated, and then I look into the news and find out that he wasn't in some bunker under a mountain or secret safehouse, he was staying at one of his kids' houses.
Guy wasn't even trying to hide. Some very Islamic fatalism right there.
@whore_norm@nobonbonx1@Tomato00603055@RealJohnGaltFla@ArmchairW Despite ramping it up it still is not where it was at in the beginning. So yes plenty of it has been destroyed including most of their navy. And they haven’t been getting killed like this. Whether or not they succeed in surviving is different.
@LegareSimon@Nostre_damus That’s not the key asset. And I don’t really see how Iran could change that tbh. This war is pushing the gulf states towards America not away. So really it could end up strengthening it.
@CastlesAddict@Nostre_damus That's only Iran. The US has other problems too.
Their key asset for the hegemony is the petrodollar, but even that Iran is challenging.
@ClearReason@LeadingReport They don’t need a navy bud, they had your navy terrified of their anti-ship missiles and submarines so much that your loser president is begging other countries like EU, NATO and even China to help him open the straits. Sorry bud, Iran controls these waters. It’s closed.
@LegareSimon@Nostre_damus Britain failed because they didn’t have the logistics to handle their large empire (not gonna be a problem in the modern era) The US would still be spending less than Russia as share of their GDP, and France was helping the US.
@alanapar01@dugger14678@Osint613 Well it’s the terror regime Iran that is “setting your house on fire” for the allies. The US hasn’t struck any tankers lol.
@dugger14678@Osint613 They started the war without support... Are you really this fucking dense? If Trump had bothered to even try to make the case for a coalition before acting maybe you could tsk tsk them for not joining in, but he didn't.
@vicdamonesports@DovySimuMMA@pound4poundshow Also the total salary cap is about 9 billion for the NFL or about 40% of their revenue not including benefits, and the 500 mil PBP that doesn’t count against the cap. So even on the example you decided to shift to you are still wrong lmao.
Do you commonly say incorrect things with so much confidence?
But anyway, the NFL got over 23 million and paid the Owners 13.8b. The NFL kept the other portion
Then the league sets the salary cap at 279m which went to the players on each team, and the owners pocketed the remaining 152m
🤔Henry Cejudo thinks UFC has pay issues because foreign fighters are happy to make ‘$100k’
“A lot of these foreign fighters, that have never been paid, that have fought on the street for free. They’re happy with a 100k bonus”
