I think it's giving it too much credit for WW2 and the Cold War.
But I don't only think it doesn't work, I think it has the opposite effects.

People will fight for what they want, propping up a government doesn't do that.
Look at Iraq and Afghanistan.
What we can do is show those people a different way to live and allow them to choose it.

Look at 9/11. Do you really think Bin Laden attacked the US because of our "freedoms"?
No, it was because of US intervention in the Middle East.
It's odd that Americans feel that we are the only ones who want self determination.
How do you show the mullah of Iran how to live?

You understand missiles or blast radius in general.

Just calling a missile "hypersonic" doesn’t mean it has a large blast radius, rather, it’s the warhead that determines that. Some may not even have a war head. China claimed to have hypersonic missile with nuclear war head. That said, the missile itself is not large enough to cause significant damage solely through kinetic energy.

The real danger of missiles like this comes from the shrapnel that flies in all directions as a result of the blast. Debris from the earth as well as materials from the missile itself. This shrapnel is what can cause damage to windows, cars and buildings far away from the blast area. If people are not in the line of sight of the blast, they will almost always remain safe.
I just missed out a sentence in there, whilst trying to avoid the bot......"packed with a decent warhead" IBut you understand that I cannot be simply talking about Hypersonic Missiles without a warhead.



The mention of hypersonic missiles was very specific. And the specificity was in the awareness of what Israel/US air-defence CANNOT guard against.

Since 2023, I have realized that I am a neoconservative when it comes fo foreign policy. I am very pro-West and I welcome criticisms of the West because of my liberal values however, I don't think the West should sit down and let the bad guys win.

I don't like the Iranian regime, I want a regime change. I hate Trump, MAGA, Netanyahu etc but I rather dine with them (God forbid) than with Iranian Mullahs and it's terroristic proxies across the globe.

I support calling out the hypocrisy of the West because they are big time hypocrites but I will tolerate that hypocrisy over a tyrannical, theocratic, authoritarian and radical Islamist regime holding onto power anywhere in the World and causing harm against Muslim women and women in general.

Thank you.
Hm.

This is an interesting submission.

in a productive process, if a factor of production continues to increase, while holding all other production factors constant, at some point a further incremental unit of input will return a lower amount of output - LDR

By design, hypersonic missiles that do not follow a parabolic trajectory are designed to be light. You cannot just throw in a massive warhead in it.

Just 2 years ago several women in the same Iran were killed for not obeying the mandatory Hijab law

If you find out that you are defending a regime that does this to its own citizen for belonging to a different faith Bahai faith, you have to start questioning yourself

Imagine the govt who does this to its own citizens now get nuclear weapon

Do not kid yourself, if the Christian nationalists are allowed Supreme power in the US, they will do this exact same thing to every demography they disagree with, including you.

But you are currently siding with them to achieve said power, and they already have nuclear weapons.

So you are defending a place where women are being killed for not being of a particular faith and attacking a place where this is not the practice

That is where you are currently

In Israel the cabinet has Moslems Jews sitting together . In the country of Israel any religion, gender sexual orientation is allowed to live freely, that is the place you condemn while you defend the place where you get killed for not covering your head as a woman

I already responded to Ibime on this same topic earlier today.

You will find in this instance that the hate for Iran trumps the needs to be democratic, until the need to be democratic actually affects us.

What Ibime has displayed to us here is the exact reason Trump won the elections. Just like the Hispanics voted to hurt other people (until it came full circle on them), the likes of Ibime are saying Trump is allowed to hurt other people, and I don't care if he's undemocratic about it.

You see A40 say, "I am anti-war but......"


You are either anti-war or you are not. If there's a but, it means your principles never got limit-tested.


The grand problem is with handing more power to the maniac (Trump) we are allowing to fight our "fights". This maniac does not understand boundaries of power. Whilst today it is the Arabians, tomorrow it will be the blacks. Then we would suddenly want him to be democratic.
Keep yarning Opaks

Did Biden ask Congress for approval before striking Yemen?

Congress approval is for declaration of war. This is a strike. There have been hundreds of strikes by USA without Congress approval over the decades

You want loud mouth congress to be debating strike on nuclear site so the enemy can be following and lose element of surprise

Either you agree with how a democracy runs or you don't.
You seem to prefer autocratic dictatorial rule where one man makes his decision to go to war on vibes.

In a democracy we don't sacrifice the rule of law, debate and the Constitution for expediency.

Try not be jumping in other people's conversations uninvited. It's a feminine trait

Please point me to your outrage over Congressional approval when Biden struck Yemen

Congress has powers to declare war, not to approve every strike

You think if soldiers spot an enemy or opportunity somewhere, they will be waiting to put a call through for Congress to debate the matter for 2 weeks while the enemy slips away?

But you are making the exact point for me. I don't care about Biden or Obama, Bush, or Trump. I care about warmongering in general. Either there is a democratic process that we all agree to, and we stick by it, no matter the issues on ground, or we don't.

The problem is, whilst we are in agreement that we don't, let's be in unison that we then cannot call other climes "undemocratic", to a point where we think we need to bomb them for being undemocratic. .

What you are having outrage about is BAU. You only have outrage now because you support the Iranians

Clinton didn't need Congress approval to strike Sudan and Afghanistan in 1998 etc etc. You can name hundreds of strikes over decades

Congress approval is for declaration of war. No war has been declared. Get your facts right.

Same applies to Osama

All things considered it is a miracle the signal compromised secdef did not accidentally leak it. Or maybe he did and the Iranians were expecting the attack

And I am declaring to you that I had the same outrage, just not the platform to publicly present it.

What instead you are saying is that you didn't then, and you don't now. Because the people being bombed are not your favourite kind anyway.... why do we care?

You are either principled about the freedoms you enjoy or you are not. Same applies for the democratic processes you relentlessly criticize the others for not having. You don't "choose" when to apply it.

When you start to allow things slide, is when nasty history gets condemned to repeat itself.
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
Iranian parliament votes to close the Strait of Hormuz. 20-30% of the world oil transits through . They were threatening high energy prices .
Let them dare
The oil rich cc countries may hate Israel but they love their oil, they may be happy with diminished supply and a price hike but this is only for short term.

Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Oman .

In any case they are able to ship oil because America keeps the shipping lanes safe .

The Ayatollah as usual is above parliament, he will give go ahead. He says no, and it remains a No ..

(Mossad tricked through telelphone calls 20 Iranian Generals to a meeting at a bunker. None of them bothered to confirm because they dare not question or doubt the Ayatollah. They all met ,and IDF blew up the bunker)

A little sensitive there huh? I won't go down your path of misogyny.
Go rest. You're too old to be sounding like Bemeruca.

Might want to go over the US Constitution or the War Powers Act before speaking on things you have no clue.
As to the example, Yes, that's the point of both.
It gives the President leeway for quick retaliatory strikes under imminent circumstances yet forces him to seek Congressional Approval for things that may take us to war that aren't imminent.
Bombing Iran's Nuclear facilities because they may make Nuclear weapons one day when our own Intelligence Agencies say they don't want Nuclear weapons is not an imminent threat.
I'm sure you'll start arguing what imminent means next.
And the deliberation is the point as it is necessary to allow time for the case to be tested if we are to commit young men to die.
But ey, it's easier when soldiers can respawn in those video games you play.

Just admit you just like dictatorships with leaders that align to your views or go back to talking about soyboys.
Because this fact based reasoning thing isn't your strong suit.

Well, what you chose to be insults, soyboy and "women traits" show a predilection towards misogyny.
A soyboy is not a real man right?
And only real men want to fight wars.
Here we have a women who is most definitely not a man flying a B-2 bomber dropping bombs on people.
So by your analysis she must have got her job by DEI because she's not a real man and only real men can do real man things like flying planes.

MAGA is an ideology predicated on things like spoken misogyny and dictatorial/autocratic beliefs. Things you have been trumpeting in your recent posts.
Might of as well don the red cap.
