Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.

Iran has fired 365 missiles at Israel since start of war, 285 reached Israel, 270 were intercepted. That's 90% interception rate, according to IDF. Estimates Iran still has 1,000 missiles. IDF has fired 10K munitions on Iran. MIlitary officials believe regime won't collapse.




The attack on Iran may be the most well justified military action since WWII



Americans haven’t forgotten how, even as hundreds of U.S. soldiers were dying in Vietnam, and the outcome was already clear, General William Westmoreland was flown home to reassure everyone that the war was going well — that the U.S. was “winning.”




Lmfao I know I’m not supposed to laugh, but Americans have been living life on easy mode for 100 years now while asleep at the wheel. They voted for “lesser of two evils” for decades, they won’t change till their lives get much worse.



Khamenei didn't "gave up and resigned himself to martyrdom in his own home". He was retarded, or more accurately, all the top officials who was in the room with him were also retarded and also died, including the literal IRGC chief, who also died.



HOW TO END THE IRAN WAR, by Edward Luttwak (@ELuttwak) Since October 2023, Iran has launched more than 1,000 ballistic missiles against Israel — and many more against its Gulf Arab neighbours. It has also launched thousands of drones, sending more than 1,500 towards the United Arab Emirates alone. How did the Islamic Republic accumulate such vast inventories of expensive weapons? And expensive they are: drones would only be cheap, as the media keeps claiming, if their number were not so large, while ballistic missiles are necessarily expensive because of their size. Iranian Shahab-3 missiles weigh 16 tonnes, while Korramshahrs come in at 25. Just as with any other feat of accumulation, this too is the result of disciplined persistence. In the regime’s case, that meant allocating Iran's limited foreign-currency earnings to what really mattered: not waterworks against desertification, not gas pipelines to bring cheap gas to the cities, not desalination plants to overcome water shortages even in Tehran, but rather the production of very large numbers of long-range missiles to attack Israel and other countries. This enormous industrial effort has been underway for years, yet it was greatly accelerated by the transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran by the Obama administration. Officially, this was merely an overdue refund for cancelled military orders dating back to the time of the Shah. But the payment's first instalment — $400 million in stacked banknotes — was sent on 17 January, 2016. This just happened to coincide with the release of several Americans from Iranian captivity, and the coming into effect of Obama’s grand diplomatic achievement: the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
