LordAdam16:
the flaw in their gEnIuS plan is that interceptors are finite and iran's missile cities are impervious to anything in israel's arsenal

even the us does not have enough conventional bunker busters to take out all iran's missile cities

ultimately, they have been checkmated but are yet to accept the unpalatable reality

the us should let them start another unwinnable war then slow roll delivery of interceptors while they get pummeled
do this a few more times and they'll learn to accept that iran is beyond their paygrade

oafs that have struggled to degrade hez missile arsenal after more than 2 years of persistent bombing and barely no replies
right on their border
they're thinking they'll go to iran that is 75 times bigger than israel and 150 times bigger than lebanon to do what?
in how much time?

-Lord
The interceptors being finite is just part of the drawback.

No single US/Israeli interceptors are capable of stopping hypersonic missiles. This is the sole reasons they're so afraid of Iran's missile program.

Imagine a situation where Iran first fire a salvo of hypersonics in a first and second wave attacks. While they're not in large quantity as the rest, their immense speed means Israel would waste hundreds of interceptors missiles in a bid to stop a handful of hypersonics.

As the interceptors falls wastefully to the ground and the hypersonics record their hits, a third, fourth, and fifth salvo involving much slower but equally devastating and larger salvo of ballistic and cruise missiles is then released. The enemy can only watch haplessly as the majority of them finds their way to their targets because they now face little or no resistance.

If you take proper note of the last three days in the 12-D war, this scenario played out, forcing the US to rushed in a ceasefire with their kneels on the ground. The IDF practically had no way of stopping the incoming missiles, as targets upon targets were being hit all over Israel.

Here is the real deal.

Inside infiltration/sabotage and nukes aside, there is no way the IDF can stand face to face with Tehran in a shooting match and come out the top dog. No way.

That is why they're now worried sick about Iranian missile program.

eiya, they've set trump up
he deserves it

for those who need a crash course on us military units
SOCs, Rangers and 101 Airborne are the tip of the spear of any ground war the us chooses to fight
next up are the marines before regular troops

if they're telling him they need rangers to topple maduro
then the Pentagon is very very antsy
they're pushing all their chips in so no one blames them if it goes tits up
and if it goes tits up, trump, vance, rubio, miller. noem are done
the pentagon is not leaving any room for blame shifting when the congressional inquiries start

-Lord
Somehow, I feel sorry for Trump.

How he cannot see that he's been setup for a disaster is beyond me.

Any US ground operations in the Caribbean/Americas will trigger negative reactions and a terrible ripple effect back home.

It would be a guerrilla war and the US knows it already, hence the deployment of those different units and segment you mentioned. They're preparing the ground for it.

But the question is, how long and recent have the US fought a guerrilla war? How many has it won?

Trump is sleep walking into a big trap. Not only will state actors like Russia and Iran leverage the moment to take their own pound of flesh by arming the opposition, many other criminal groups and paramilitary bodies in and around the region would be glad to bounce on the opportunity to head on to Venezuela and "kill the Yankees."

It would be too late before Trump and his team realize how hated they're to the rest of the continent.

israel has concluded preparations to start a war with hezbollah and the iraqi paramilitaries as early as next month
it is concerned that iran would intervene as a backstop as they did when nasrallah was assassinated
after the 12d defeat, it knows it cannot take on iran so it needs the us to keep iran busy

when they used emissaries including putin to inform iran that they had no interest in a confrontation
it was to get iran to commit to sitting on the sidelines while they fight the militias in lebanon and iraq
iran gave them the middle finger

so we will get a regional war
iran/hez/iraq/yemen on one side and us/israel/gulf id**ts/kurds on the other
usreal do not necessarily want a rematch with iran but they know/fear what they're about to start with axis paramilitaries will elicit a reaction from iran
the open question is the status of turkey and the azeris
a lot has changed since the fall of assad and the 12d war
they will do attache by force.
if they sense the resistance axis has the upper hand, they will leak operational plans to tehran
but if it is the other way around, they will offer some type of support through NATO, Azerbaijan, or Jolani
but from their recent signals, they're hoping for at worse a stalemate but they'd prefer a resistance axis victory
they need israel and the us to be weaker in the region to be taken seriously

on how the war will proceed
i think israel is hoping to wipe out the higher echelons of the paramilitias (in lebanon and iraq) within two weeks and try to get an even more favorable ceasefire like they got with hez or ideally a capitulation
the uncertainty in their calculus is how bad the damage from the iranian strikes will be
especially since it will be compounded by iraqi and lebanese projectiles fired on a use it or lose it basis

i think they are also apprehensive about how venezuela will go and that is why they want to get the americans to commit to their war asap
because if venezuela turns into a vietnam with axis projectiles slamming into the us mainland, they are royally f*cked
trump's presidency will be in a casket
and iran, hez, and the houthis will use the opportunity to pulverize the dot on a map to the cheers of everyone around the planet

-Lord
I still maintain that Israel is in no position right now to start a fresh large scale attack on Iran. The calculus is against them succeeding in all ramifications.

But, knowing Netanyahoo for who he is, anything can happen.

The man will be meeting Trump on December 29, and the news coming from.NBC is that Netanyahoo wants the US to join him on a strike on Iran, the excuse this time around is, not the nuclear program but Iran's missile capabilities.

We shall soon see what the outcome would be. Whether Trump would use that occasion to call his madness and give him the middle finger or acquiesce to his demands like the slaves most American leaders have always been to Israel.

Colombia is the world's leading producer of cocaine, accounting for a dominant share of global production. Recent estimates from sources citing the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) place Colombia's share at approximately 60% to 70% of the world's total cocaine supply.
Caribbean Route: This route is also significant, especially for the U.S. East Coast market. Cocaine moves from Colombia, often transiting through Venezuela, to islands such as the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Haiti. From there, smaller vessels take the drugs to the U.S. mainland, particularly Florida.


Why would you let Cartel of the Suns whose head is Maduro bring weapons of death to your country.
My friend, stop being melodramatic and ignorant at the same time.

The United States is a drug destination heaven today because the CIA also sided and abetted the drug market across the Americas. Go and do your research.

Are you the one that appointed Maduro as the head of the Suns Cartel?

For you to even believe that nonsense shows you would believe anything so long it's from the US.

Just as they designated Saddam as a terrorist with weapons of mass destruction.

That Sector 7 falls on its own without any impact from planes during the 9/11.

Whether the official designation or narrative makes sense or not isn't your problem. Is the truth so long the US says so.


Let me remind you of this conscious fact: you're deliberately siding with a daylight robber, killer, and terrorist.

One day, when the blood of those innocent fishermen being slaughtered will reach the cosmic for justice, folks like you would be remembered for also taking a side with the murderer.

Explain.
The term "Odessa Corridor" refers to the vital maritime shipping route in the Black Sea that allows Ukraine (and it's allies )to export its grain and goods to (and receive heavy-duty armaments from) the world.

The "opening" of the corridor means Russia has now effectively put in place the capabilities dictate what goes out or comes in to Ukraine. This means, Russia can now effectively landlocked Ukraine without even physically taking over the land.

This de facto maritime control marks a fundamental turning point in the ongoing conflict--creatIng a precarious condition not just for Ukraine's economic lifeline, but also for NATO whose southeastern flank strategic drive is being dismantled by a crafty, surgical and precise Russian war machine.

There is a reason US war planners and policy formulators are in a hurry to wrap up the Ukrainian theatre quickly. They know it's a failed project.

But the elites across Europe have sworn to die to their own delusional reality.

Is this ignorance or deliberate assertion to provoke unwarranted argument?

What does Maduro being good or not good to his people has to do with US unilateral bullying and shameless attempt to steal Venezuela mineral resources?.

You're witnessing open terrorism and state piracy in international politics where one powerful state is blockading another less powerful state simply because it does not like its leader and openly says the oil in that country belongs to it. Yet, folks like you wants to justify US act of terror and bullying.

Well, the world order has since moved from that viewpoint. People everywhere now sees the US for what we have always known it to be: a thief, terrorist, and bloodsucking demon that thrives on the destruction and plundering of other nations that don't align with its diabolic, hegemonic interest.

when the pacific war happens, they will seize china's trillions of dollars and seize ships carrying oil to china

sometimes you hear supposed industry experts speak and you just know the mf is an empty suit

china is the de facto leader in drone tech
they have a billion people
imagine what a billion people + infinite drones will do to any opponent

this mf should return his certificate

-Lord
I don't blame him.

They so much believe the human wave propaganda the west sold to them about China during the Korean war.

You mentioned one billion people. That's too far reach.

Imagine China dedicating one million people to drone offensive mission. That is, one drone per each drone operator. That is one million drones on the move at once.

Nowhere would be safe for any aircraft carrier strike groups.

By the time they succeed and have depleted their ammos in taking out the first few thousands in the first wave, even the clouds in the skies would feel sorry for the enemies as the other waves pours in in their hundreds of thousands.

It would be too late by the time they realize that their classification of China's military as a primitive fighting force based on human waves is self delusion.

Today, China's military advancement is heavily reliant on force multipliers, and this is evident in the deployment of technologies and strategies that amplify their conventional strength, shifting radically from mere platform upgrades to whole system modernization driven by AI, cyber tech, quantum tech, and advanced missiles, vying for qualitative superiority, especially with AI-driven data fusion, hypersonic missiles (like DF-17), and a massive naval expansion (world's largest by ship count) to challenge U.S. dominance.

Integrating these elements for decisive, cost-effective capabilities is what makes China the great power it is today. .

The new embargo would clearly prove if the term or association "Axis" exists or it's merely a political fantasy.
Interesting days ahead ✌️
You're so right.

But, I detest nations like Venezuela that chose to be reactive rather than proactive.

In a world governed by realpolitiks, and segmented into spheres of great powers competing for global and geopolitical relevance and dominance, there are no rooms for weakness and indifference.

It is either you pitch tent with the devil or stay right with God.

The hegemonic animosity that the Hugo Chavez era faced should have been a wake up call for the likes of Maduro.

When you have huge levels of mineral resources and living in close proximity to the world most dangerous, thief and terrorist nation ruled by greedy bankers, a diabolic MIC and their hawkish contractors and lobbyists, you should be ready for whatever.

That means, either you're "armed to the teeth" or at least, under the security and economic umbrella of other great powers.

Sadly, Maduro's Venezuela is neither in BRICS nor in the SCO.

Unlike Iran and the Houthis, Venezuela is neither armed nor capable of inflicting immense pain on the hegemon that's now blazingly lurking in its backyard.

The same hegemon that ran away from the Red Sea and begged for a cease fire with Iran. Blowback is the only language it understands.

And after the desperate attempt to overthrow him in 2019, one would have thought that Maduro have learnt his lessons and prepared Venezuela for worst days like this. But what do we have?

Stupid cries of "aggression and oppression" that only falls on deaf ears. While the blood suckers and thieves in Washington salivate in unbearable sadistic apprehension of billions ill-gotten wealth flowing to their accounts. They knew this one is going to be an easy ride, so to say.

The hounds driving the hegemon are not even trying to mask their intent anymore. They now openly say the oil in Venezuela belongs to them.

Like we knew from the onset. It was never drugs. It's the oil. The curse of the Yankee political class and bankers.

Like I have said times without number: if God will not burn America with nuclear fire, he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

But I trust he will.

Coming back....

The blockade will tighten gradually once the US perceives that neither the axis nor Venezuela are willing to escalate.

Recently, a Russian cargo ship was blocked by a US naval ship from berthing at a port in Venezuela. The Russians made their grievance known to the US. And I'm sure there would be no second time.

If there is, and the Russians did not act in kind, then Maduro should just kiss his government goodbye. Russia is Venezuela's best bet to countering any US threatened or enforced embargo.

China will never sail any of its naval assets from the Pacific to the western hemisphere to bolster Venezuela in any form. But Russia and Iran can easily intercept and seize US economic ships in open waters under flimsy excuses.

Another great way Venezuela can escape the noose is if the neighbouring nations unite and rally around it against the US. Knowing Trump for who he is, the humiliation go make am chicken out quickly.

But as far as Venezuela goes, anything can happen.
