@SophistGent @DougAMacgregor Bro, this was anything but short. You wrote a novel.

Well - It’s now are never…. Despite all of the bluster and empty rhetoric from the US and Israel, the reality is unequivocal: even with the military resilience Iran demonstrated during the Ramadan War/40-Day War, this is the most vulnerable Iran will be going forward. During Operation True Promise IV, Iran demonstrated not just retaliation, but sustained endurance under high-intensity attack. Even after weeks of strikes targeting its missile and drone infrastructure, it has continued to launch coordinated barrages and impose real costs on operational and strategic targets. US and Israeli planners acknowledge that the central challenge—neutralizing Iran’s capabilities before they are employed—has already proven far more difficult than expected. The reason is structural. Iran’s system is built for endurance, not fragility: dispersed launchers, hardened facilities, redundant command structures, and a doctrine centered on second-strike capability. Even under sustained bombardment, it retains the ability to generate meaningful attacks while imposing a prolonged, resource-intensive defensive burden on its adversaries. At the same time, Iran is scaling in the most difficult domain to counter—volume. Its expansion in drone production reflects a saturation strategy designed to overwhelm air defenses through interceptor exhaustion, producing an increasingly unfavorable cost exchange for the US and Israel. This is the core reality: if Iran is not decisively degraded now, under conditions of significant attrition, the strategic window does not widen—it closes. Going forward, Iran is not static. It is adapting in real time—refining targeting, improving survivability, and advancing swarm tactics under combat conditions. External inputs from Russia and China do not create these capabilities, but they accelerate and reinforce them in navigation resilience, electronic warfare resistance, and production capacity. The trajectory is already clear: a force that can sustain retaliation under pressure today will be significantly harder to contain, degrade, or deter once further hardened by combat experience and external integration. In short, if current operations fail to achieve decisive effects against Iran’s missile and drone ecosystem, there is no credible basis to assume that a more advanced version of that system will be easier to defeat later.

BREAKING: Gigantic continuous U.S. airlift currently taking place in the Middle East.

@MarioNawfal The war is far from over.

I know the war is over, but I’m still curious, who the hell convinced Trump to do this???

@stayfreeCanada2 False, you imbecile.

The spirit of the average Canadian who STILL lives in Canada is utterly, utterly broken.

@CarterByrd13 @jezscacuzz "American Exceptionalism" lol. You are advocating for a province of a sovereign nation to join your failing nation, with an incompetent leader, disappearing middle class, hordes of homeless people, and a mounting debt of over $40 TRILLION! Bro, wtf are you even talking about?

@capitalkintsugi @jezscacuzz Yes, please come to my mentions to tell me how much you don’t care.

Alberta is gonna have a hell of a college football program when they join the United States.

@CarterByrd13 @jezscacuzz Nobody gives a fuck what you area big fan of.

@jezscacuzz Big fan of Alberta🫡

@jezscacuzz @CarterByrd13 How obedient of you. You are a good boy.

@CarterByrd13 We will definitely make a great state!🇺🇸🫡🦅🇺🇸

Banger.

@KevinCastley @elonmusk That maybe true, while at the same time, I see a lot of Chinese people driving Teslas ;)

@elonmusk That’s cool and all, but Communist China is literally rolling out flying cars

@Gregg06041989 @jacksonhinklle Wasn't the essence of Marx's argument the phenomenon that capitalism runs out of runway, because it's predicated on achieving infinite gains from finite resources? It is flawed from the start, but it wobbles along until it collapses under its own weight.

@jacksonhinklle Xi keeps saying this while running a hybrid system that thrives on capitalist tools under authoritarian oversight. If Marxism was such a flawless 'tool,' why did China need market reforms to escape Mao-era disasters?

🇨🇳 Xi Jinping said Marxism is the 'guiding theory' of China. "It is the formidable theoretical tool which we use to understand the world, grasp its underlying patterns, search for its truth, and effect change."

@Chiefs275 @D162Michele Bro was on one of these ships and lived to tell the tale.

@D162Michele Obviously China has been shipping illegal oil for a decade The shadow fleet has been docked. FAFO

The US has reached a whole new level of delusion. China doesn’t give a flying f@ck about your sanctions!!

@jacksonhinklle I think that is a drastic oversimplification of facts China is proof that Chinese brand of CCP controlled capitalism works!

🇨🇳 China is PROOF that COMMUNISM WORKS!

@Taco_Spamfilter @KevinCastley That sounds real nice, and only possible if the economy does not completely collapse.

@KevinCastley If you like skyscrapers and tons of light, it's gotta be wonderful. However I like my lawn, privacy, direct ocean frontage, being a quarter mile from the road with a 2 story garage blocking sound and view from and of the road. I like quiet, birds, even anoles.

China built more skyscrapers than the rest of the world combined But the media wants you to think China is on the verge of collapse Who’s buying their narrative still?

@KevinCastley Nooooooo-body!

@jpnexpert @KevinCastley Great point! There is also a cultural element. Chinese way of thinking, influenced by Confucianism is very different from the Western, dualistic way of thinking. Western leaders waste a lot of energy, moving in opposition of one another, while China is moving forward, focused.

Success depends entirely on who is managing the central planning. China’s model is exceptionally difficult to replicate elsewhere; in most places, arrogant 'loud mouths' tend to seize key positions, leading to systemic corruption at every level. Vietnam is the only other nation attempting a similar path, though they also struggle significantly with corruption.

If central planning is a failure, Why does Beijing, China look like this? Libs destroyed unironically.

@invis4yo So that the rich can get richer, and the poor, well the poor will be assimilated into the system... What system? One that will make 1984 look like child's play.

Serious question: why would a United States president actively destroy his own country? We can all see it.

@TheKwah @jacksonhinklle Bro is so mad that China is advancing fast. It's just the way it is my bro. Don't get mad.

@jacksonhinklle Try looking outside the city. Oh wait you wouldn't get that democrat payout then. Disgusting loser

🇨🇳 If Communism doesn't work, then why is China so advanced?

@jacksonhinklle State controlled capitalism on a tight leash. The CPP deliberates and deliberates more, applying cooperation as the basis of their decision making process. American, adverserial approach of two party system watses a lot of energy in the tug-of-war of the two party system.

@NidhinRajJacob @BowesChay lol

@BowesChay it's not his claim as it was clearly documented in the Epstein report where Jeffery Epstein is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Professor Jiang claims that Bitcoin is a CIA operation

@BowesChay He is a Chinese operative for sure ;)

@7TheWizardofOz7 @BowesChay He is very creative in his thought patterns, but that creativity is a double edge sword - he can figure tease out interesting nuggets using "game theory", but other claims are wild af speculations. It was not difficult to predict that Trump will get re-elected.

@BowesChay I’ve stopped listening to this fool. I think he’s a CIA operation
