Hey @jdvance, do you fancy a visit to Moscow? Please? 👉🏼👈🏼







🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇶 44 days in… and the damage vs Iraq 2003 is on a completely different scale. Back then, 5 weeks in, Iraq was already done. 139 U.S. troops killed, Saddam gone, no spillover, oil steady, trade untouched, and a 40+ country coalition fully behind it. Now look at Iran. 13 U.S. troops killed, 520+ wounded… but the damage is everywhere. Bases hit across 7 countries, 500+ missiles fired, aircraft destroyed, key bases damaged, and Iran still standing. Civilian impact isn’t locked to one country either. Iraq saw ~7,400 deaths early on in one place. Here it’s 5,000+ across multiple countries, including heavy losses in Iran and Lebanon. And then comes the real hit. Iraq barely moved the global system. Here, oil jumped from $72 to $130+, ~20% supply disrupted, 600+ ships stuck, airspace closing, prices rising everywhere from fuel to food. Even alliances tell the story. Iraq had a full coalition, 40+ countries, NATO backing, allies on the ground. This time it’s mostly U.S. and Israel, with NATO allies stepping back, major countries refusing to get involved, and others offering only limited support at best. So at the same point in time, Iraq was already decided. Here, nothing is decided… but the damage is already global.
