eventually, one of those false starts will be a real start and anyone caught napping will be shredded

the us cannot be asking iran to give up nuclear enrichment, give up missiles, give up its proxies, not launch satellites, stop selling oil to china
and claim they don't want war
when they are done using negotiation as cover to build up forces
they should start the war

i said late last year that iran's odds are 50:50
now i'm like, f*ck the odds, war it is

how can a pdf wake up one morning and say persia cannot launch satellites
what are they smoking?
persia should give up its missiles
for what?
after imposing sanctions on them, you're telling them not to sell to their biggest buyer that ignored the sanctions

whether they want war or not
they must bleed
they've gone too far

Gerrard59:
The bold is important to note because, should Iran refuse, hopefully so, to concede to those demands from the US, would the US stand by doing nothing? It means one party wants a conflict, and conflict means war. The same people who criticised JD Vance for his speech gave a standing ovation to Rubio, and we think these guys are playing when it comes to causing conflicts in any part of the world, so they achieve their desires?

na this thing dey make many of our countries dey so unaware:
- "no they cannot do any harm, they are our friends"
- "America loves us and is here for good"

meanwhile these people have it made crystal clear and continue doing so in a social media age where information is easily accessible, regardless of location. A major reason I like the Trump administration is that you will not feign ignorance because they have stated what they want and how they view each region of the world.

China's a big country. It's got a billion-something people, the second largest economy in the world. They have nuclear weapons.

It's not good for anybody to rely on one country or one economy for 90% of anything, especially things like critical supply chains. This is a reality.

We want to diversify supply chains around the world. We've spoken clearly about it.

LordAdam16:
the us needs its vietnam moment in iran

the us does not make concessions until after there is incontrovertible evidence that force would not work
they adopt this path because they believe they can extricate themselves from any quagmire at any time

in vietnam, one day they decided their fatalities wasn't worth their stated objectives and they winded down
they didn't stay a day longer
they left and never turned back going on 40+ years
today they trade with vietnam to the tune of billions of dollars

in iraq, they gave up and let the shias rule and be vassals to iran
in afghanistan, they gave up and let the talibans return

look at ukraine
they were never going to let russia seek to reset the eurasian security architecture without bloodshed confirming force would not work
and now that they have confirmed force will not work
they've pawned off the responsibilities to europe, europe buys the weapons from them to send to ukraine
and they're trying to secure a detente with russia

it'll be the same thing with china
they'll never accept china as the pacific top dog until there is a war that proves force wouldn't work to cripple china
taiwan, south korea, japan, philippines, australia
something will give, millions will d** and then they'll accept some sort of detente

---

so this is iran's moment
this was inevitable

there would always be a grand culmination

the curious thing is that they did not want a total war
they were content with economic war, color revolutions, and the odd week-long campaign
but iran flipped the script on them
they were hoping the insurgency would weaken the regime
the terrorists will seize nodes of power
then they will come in and have a shock and awe/no fly zone campaign
after which the government will be unable to retaliate and be unable to stop the terrorists from gaining the upper hand as in libya

this is the riskier path
but they'll still commit to it
because the worst that'll happen is that they lose thousands and then sign a jcpoa+
but they do not want to give iran a jcpoa+ until it is absolutely clear that using force will not work

---

let's be realistic
the taliban had a grueling war
the insurgency in iraq was laborious
the vietnam war was very bloody

but if you want to get to the other side
you have to enter the tunnel
you have to smash through their fancy gizmos and their undeserved cloak of superiority
if even the russians are finding that out with their large nuke arsenal
the persians must prepare themselves for the eventuality
there is no shortcut

iran needs this war to secure lasting peace
no one is talking about invading afghanistan or vietnam anymore
afghanistan is still fundamentalist and vietnam is still communist
for once, they don't care enough about human rights and democracy to send their "geologists" and "liberty missionaries"

---

i wish there was a way for iran to avoid this
but there isn't
especially not when the genocidal c*nts are involved
