you ever look to see how much of the Gulf states and Israel's potable water comes from desalinization plants (70%-90%)

Israel will have no qualm attacking these (and O&G) with Shaheed clones to pin the blame on Iran. They could probably even fire them from Iran using operatives based there.

same with food imports (which ironically a lot of it comes from Iran)

no worries though! War is OVER

Insane. They really can't reign him in at all.

I get that he normally just says insane shit all the time, but you think some generals or someone could explain how this doesn't help.

Like saying he will only accept unconditional surrender from Iran. Pretty much guaranteeing they will never give up. Iran lost ~200,000 people fighting Iraq, where they took 8 years of fighting to come to terms where no one gained anything.

It's total insanity to think they would ever surrender to just air power.

Now he's telling allies to buzz off because the war is already won?

If Trump was leading Rome, he would have met Caligula's end by now.

That's what happened the first time he was in office so the 2nd time he fired everyone who might attempt to reign him in - and if he gets 'bad' advice from someone he instantly fired them.

I've got a bad feeling about this one. Too much stupid on all sides to take a step back.

I'm figuring another week or two of Iran not surrendering, Trump will get frustrated, declare victory and pull out, and go back to picking on easy targets like Cuba. Leaving much more hardline people in charge of Iran bent one goal only: Revenge.

That last best hope for the Middle East was the Obama Nuclear deal that was working... and Trump tore up...

What could go wrong from toppling the legitimate government with no replacement to slot in, and weapons of various sorts left lying around the country held by people no longer receiving their salaries... It's too bad we don't have any recent examples from the real world.

Afghanistan is somewhat of a 50 year old example.

If Iran doesn’t have a leader, who exactly will be offering any kind of surrender?

I believe the hope is that certain military factions will begin to switch sides. I don't see anything changing unless it comes from within. Lots of people in Iran want regime change but they aren't armed and can't do anything other than protest and die.

Israelis fucking know that with Irans O&G taken out that, Iran will destroy the gulfs O&G in retaliation and collapse the US and world economies. Now it makes sense why Trumps actions vs Venezuela occurred when it did, as an alternate to the gulfs oil, though not sure it would be enough. Israel without a doubt is the most evil nation the world has known since the Nazis.

Here's an article from South China Morning Post detailing some of the issues the American interceptors are having with the Iranian hypersonic missiles


Terminal-phase defence systems, by contrast, are designed to intercept incoming weapons during the final stage of flight. Also known as “in-atmosphere” defence systems, they include the widely deployed THAAD, Patriot and the Aegis SM-2 and SM-6 interceptors.

THAAD has been deployed at US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as in South Korea and Israel. Its interceptor missiles travel at around Mach 9 and are equipped with two propulsion systems – one for maneuvering and one for attitude control – to enable direct-impact interception.

“The system operates at altitudes between 40km and 150km. When hypersonic missiles glide at lower altitudes, they become difficult to intercept, and at higher altitudes, they are vulnerable to decoy interference,” the team said.

For threats below 40km, defence responsibilities fall to systems such as the Patriot PAC-3 MSE, as well as ship-based Aegis SM-2 and SM-6 interceptors. Each interceptor typically protects a radius of several tens of kilometres, making it suitable for defending high-value assets like military bases and airports.

However, because interception occurs in the terminal phase, the system’s reaction time is extremely limited, making it difficult to counter highly maneuverable targets.
