DATING TIP: she does not want you to ask her about her interests and hobbies and feelings. She wants you to explain the implications of the current Iranian conflict. She wants to told about geopolitics. She wants a man that is monitoring the situation.

@mb_ghalibaf You are more afraid of kids and teenagers than this war! Your only power is terror! If you are so worried about women and children being killed, then pack your shit and surrender to the Iranian people! But you’re not worried about women and children are you?

@cirnosad CENTCOM told me Shaheds keep eating his KC-135s so I asked how many KC-135s he has and he said he just goes to NORTHCOM and gets a new KC-135 afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding KC-135s to Shaheds and then INDOPACOM started crying.

The nation that is blockading Cuba is telling us that blockading the Strait of Hormuz is morally wrong. 🤔

it sickens me to my stomach and angers me and scares me that the West has been labeling "Arabs" as terrorists for all these years when all the while the real psychos and sickos and terrorists have always been right here in the West walking among us and ruling over us ....

Hey @benshapiro. Today is day 2 of me asking. Since you are now eligible to serve in the military with the age cap raised, will you be enlisting to fight for Israel?

Zionism is incompatible with human civilization because Zionists cannot understand the idea that goyim can have property rights. Whether it's Gazan land or American money & soldiers, the goyim must hand it over whenever Zionists want it.

Opinion: The only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of “another people” is to remove “the other people” from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself. jpost.com/opinion/articl…

A major problem for America is that Americans refuse to believe, conceptually, that defeat can happen. And if it does happen, they assume it must be due purely to boneheaded or cowardly politicians, or a weak-willed public. This unwillingness to accept that some wars simply cannot be won runs deep in the American collective psyche. It allows various political factions to constantly “fall back” to the same excuse whenever their foreign misadventures go wrong. The refrain always becomes: “Well, we didn’t really COMMIT!” or “We didn’t go ALL IN!” The assumption is that any obvious loss was merely the result of a lack of will, not a lack of ability to achieve the stated goal. This mindset is partly the result of America’s relatively young and “childish” national character. As a society with a short history, America has a short memory. For much of its early existence, as the sole great power in the Western Hemisphere, the United States largely avoided the kind of complicated, protracted conflicts that require deft diplomacy and realistic negotiation. Most older, more mature civilizations understand that the world must be shared, because the cost of demanding total victory on every issue is extremely high and rarely worth it. Only Children demand to get their way all the time every time. From its founding in 1776 (and even during the earlier colonial period), America experienced a series of decisive victories in which the United States was able to dictate terms completely: the Mexican-American War, the various wars with Native American tribes, the Spanish-American War, and the Civil War all ended in absolute American victory, with the U.S. getting essentially everything it demanded. World War I was at least a clear military victory, though the U.S. did not get everything it wanted. World War II was a total victory, and America largely achieved its objectives, especially against Japan. It was only after 1945, as America became deeply involved in conflicts and meddling across Africa and Eurasia, that the U.S. began encountering intractable situations that required genuine diplomatic skill and the ability to negotiate. This is when the familiar “cope” emerged: “We totally could have won, but we never do because… well, just BECAUSE!” This narrative persists largely because American politicians struggle to explain why the various foreign adventures keep turning into expensive disasters, complete with blow-back, uncertain outcomes, and so many loose ends that they can hardly be called worthwhile. Americans have never truly learned how to negotiate earnestly or how to live alongside powers they cannot simply boss around and dictate to. To many Americans, every adversary is just another Native American tribe, someone you can engage in bad-faith negotiations with, betray later, or ultimately overpower and impose your will upon. Diplomacy from America more looks like the sort of stalling and leverage jockeying from a cop; with no intention of honoring any deal. I suppose America COULD in theory conquer Iran, it might need somewhere over a million man army, the absolute commitment of the entire US population, acceptance of a draft, stomach for potentially absurd losses in a difficult invasion and occupation of a highly mountainous country twice the size of Texas and in the age of drone warfare this will be absurdly expensive in blood and treasure. Every mountain pass and valley will be paid for in blood as the Russo-Ukraine war shows, turtle strategy is in again with drones. But to what ends would we do this? To reopen a Strait? One that was open before we elected to attack Iran? To make Iranians like us and stop saying they don't like us? To make its leaders put their forehead on that Wall in Jerusalem? Plus the time it would take to assemble the million man army to take on Iran, the world economy can't wait that long while the Hormuz is death gripped by Persian rage. You are talking three to six months until you have the manpower, a year until that manpower is fairly well trained and then the question of where to stage this army for an invasion is another matter, point is this is fantasy land. Real fact is, there was never a point to this war, never an achievable political goal, never one that bombs could achieve or cheeky spy ops, this required actual diplomacy and it will require deft diplomacy to get us out of this disaster because the costs of trying to "Subjugate Iran" are simply absurd and beyond the ability of America to pay.

Hey Christine, I can answer that. Dominating Iran would be a cakewalk. A few thousand casualties on our side vs. hundreds of thousands on theirs. Not turning it into Afghanistan is also easy. All it requires is our military leaders accepting those high casualty numbers. That’s how we won two world wars. Now before you get upset, know this: I’m not talking about war crimes. I am only talking about accepting a very high number of enemy combatant casualties along with an unfortunate but necessary number of civilians caught in the crossfire. That’s all we need. And high casualty numbers are not a war crime. Death and destruction are allowed under the Geneva Conventions. Just not certain types of death and destruction, like chemical weapons. But winning this way is not going to happen, Christiane, because moving enough tanks and artillery to do that requires a massive sealift operation, and I don’t see any massive cargo ships getting loaded. So yes, the military types are right. We absolutely, positively can dominate Iran. The problem is no politician has removed the handcuffs from our military (called ROEs, Rules of Engagement) since General MacArthur was fired by President Truman for explaining to him exactly what I’m explaining to you right now. Massive sealift of heavy bombs and Army munitions PLUS an order to put as many warheads on enemy foreheads as possible. Dead men do not fight back. Taliban using children as shields and ROEs that only let us kill them at certain times in certain specific situations with a preponderance of evidence… they do shoot back. I don’t see Trump doing that, fighting a traditional war with ROEs that allow us to kill huge numbers of IRGC. But I also don’t see him sending large numbers of boots inland with crazy restrictive ROEs either. The end is likely going to be Option C. What is Option C? I don’t know. Option C is classified.

Israel in Kenya
Israel in Kenya@IsraelinKenya·
A 4,000 km radius from Tehran stretches deep into Africa, reaching across the Horn and into East Africa. To put this into perspective: 🇪🇹 Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) is about 3,200 km from Tehran 🇸🇴 Mogadishu (Somalia) is about 3,700–3,800 km away 🇸🇸 Juba (South Sudan) sits just under 4,000 km 🇰🇪 Nairobi (Kenya) is just beyond that range at around 4,300–4,400 km What this means is that within a 4,000 km reach, most of the Horn of Africa and parts of East Africa fall squarely within range, with countries like Kenya sitting just at the edge of that radius. This is not a distant geography. It is within the same regional neighborhood, from the Middle East into Africa’s eastern corridor.

All Africans agree that war is bad and support Iran’s right to defend itself except for a few deputy Israelis from Nigeria. When this war is over, we need to re-educate these few Nigerian brothers of ours because as a continent that has seen the worst of injustices, we must always stand on the right side of history!
