There is a massive censorship in social media platforms and Israel. They are blocking accounts posting videos and calling it Ai generated. This won’t change anything.

To the western 🤡🤡, y’all seem to have forgotten the objectives of this war. This is basically a peer to peer conflict, one side has ballistic missiles and the other long range missiles from fighter jets. Y’all should celebrate destruction of underground warehouses, production facilities and command and control.

If both sides keep exchanging fire for a year, the chosen land will be destroyed. There are no B 2 or fighter jets over Iran, they have internet and videos of impact sites are available daily.

There are no cell phone videos of bombers or jets. The USA or Israel can release the cockpit video over Tehran or keep quiet.

Day 1: this war will last a couple of days
Day 2: it will take us 2 weeks
Day 3: actually 4
Day 4: 8 weeks and we're done
Day 5: we need more intelligence people for 100 days

So much for 1 trillion dollar defence budget

⚡Australia's PM says military assets have been deployed to the Middle East 'as part of contingency planning'

Australia, Canada, France, even UK has granted US full access to Diego Garcia and can still enter the fray. You can see my problem with the axis. Why is China or Russia not sending ships or deploying assets for "contingency planning" too.

FoolishBoy419:
If Iran with all its weaknesses can make USA abandon all their bases and move their carriers farther and farther away from Iranian borders, what exactly do they aim to achieve with the bases they have near China and Russia? Anyone?

The only thing I can think of is nuclear weapons but then, ICBMs and Submarines are good enough. The bases seem unnecessary.

If you investigate the military contractors and contracts involved with the military bases, you’ll see it’s nothing but a massive corruption of the likes we’ve never seen. A lot of the 1 trillion budget goes into maintaining military bases.

⚡The Iran war is pushing Europe toward a new energy crisis.

Gas prices in Europe have jumped about 53% in just a few days, driven by disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian strikes affecting Qatar’s LNG production.

Competition for LNG is intensifying as Asian buyers outbid Europe, even causing tankers originally headed for Europe to reroute to Asia.

At the same time, EU gas storage is under 30% full, far below the normal ~45% for this time of year, raising concerns about refilling supplies before next winter.

If the conflict continues, energy costs, inflation, and economic pressure could rise across Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, which rely heavily on LNG imports.

⚡Ukrainians are being deported en masse from Poland. According to Ukrainian media, 91 Ukrainians received forced-return decisions in a single night.

The cited reasons for these mass deportations include overstaying the permitted period of stay, illegal employment, posing a security threat, and outstanding criminal warrants.

⚡Trump administration is scrambling to manage the fallout of the Iran war.

The Pentagon is requesting additional intelligence officers for at least 100 days, suggesting the war could last far longer than the initially suggested four-week timeline.

Officials say planning was limited.

A State Department source said “too few people were read in on the war plans,” which slowed evacuation preparations and travel alerts for Americans in the region.

Critics say the response looked improvised, with one former U.S. diplomat calling it “a completely ad hoc operation… like they woke up on Saturday and decided to start a war.”

I want China and Russia to covertly support iran to prolong this war as along as possible.
Supply Iran with necessary equipment needed, intels and contractors/retired personnel just like what they are doing in Ukraine.
They have made the Ukraine war very painful and long for russia. It has cost russia so many men, money and time.
It is now time to pay back.
The west are holding Ukraine's hand to deal with russia, blowing up russia's frigates in crimea while laughing at it.
Now, Iran is blowing up their won war ships too but i don't want them to cut a deal to stop.
Because if they stop, they will come back in the next 6 months again after they have re-strategized, restock and learn from their last mistakes to prepare better.
Then you start hear statements like ''Iran can not have nuclear weapons",
Iran must close down all ballistic missiles factory blah blah blah and start organizing another peace deal or meeting again.
Just like the way Russia thought starting and closing the Ukraine war deal will be swift and like 1 week which has turned to 3 years running,
The Iran war should be a pain in the ass for US that should keep dragging for years to drain them too.

⚡According to a release from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), 2 Russian Tu-142 bombers were detected and tracked while operating inside the Alaskan and Canadian air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

The U.S. and Canada launched U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter aircraft, 2 F-22 fighter aircraft, 4 KC-135 tankers, one E-3 AWACS, 2 Canadian CF-18 fighter aircraft, and one CC-150 tanker to positively identify, monitor, and intercept the Russian aircraft in the American and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones.

The censorship is crazy. The secretary of war says they are carpet bombing, how do we know it’s not glide bombs from the border.

Propaganda and censorship don’t win wars. The telegraph is saying the energy markets will force Trump to end it. Why can’t these people accept reality, the ceasefire depends on Iran, only Iran can end it, Trump already tried.
