I mean it might just sink all on its own given the state of British navy.

the whole context here are the insane payouts for the execs

probably cause it’s not actually sea worthy either

I mean it’s not much help preventing Russian attacks in Ukraine, so I don’t see why it would all of a sudden help here.

Exactly, whenever this ends, it’s going to be a massive humiliation for the US. And I expect the countries in the Gulf will be thinking about finding new patrons at this point.

Iran has been systematically destroying US assets across the region, even mainstream western media is openly reporting on this. These assets took decades to build and cost trillions. They cannot be replaced. The US likely doesn’t even have the skills or the industry that produced a lot of them now.

Ted Postol, who is an MIT Professor and a former Pentagon advisor, just gave a lengthy interview on the problem with interceptions that I can highly recommend https://youtu.be/gbQI_IYz6uM

The economics of the war simply don’t work for the US here. Iran is using cheap drones that cost thousands, and the US has to use multiple interceptors for each that cost millions https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/middle-east-crisis-irans-20k-drones-take-on-defences-of-us-worth-4-million/articleshow/129000886.cms

The logistics for the US are terrible here as well as they have to ship weapons from across the ocean. Iranians are fighting on their home turf. Iran is a huge country, and it has large industry. The US cannot bomb it into submission. You just have to look at Ukraine to see why that’s impossible. Russia has been bombing it for 4 years now, and it’s still there.

Iran is three times the size. On the other hand, US has fairly limited assets, and Iran absolutely can bomb them into oblivion. And every time the US loses a radar, a weapons depot, or a warehouse, their future logistics get progressively worse. And these problems accumulate.

Finally, everybody in the region sees this as a war between Iran and US/Israel. After over a year of genocide in Gaza, the sympathies are not with Israel. US backed regimes will have a very hard time going forward if they continue participating on the side of the Epstein coalition. In fact, there was already an uprising in Bahrain, and there will only be more going forward.

or sent to a concentration camp

I’ve heard about this kind of shit, but never seen it myself.

Watches the US getting demolished by Iran in West Asia, starts braying about Russia losing allies. 🤣

Going along with the biggest dumbass in the room isn’t really a smart move in my book.

I love how Micron never misses an opportunity to make it publicly known that he’s an imbecile.

If Iran is defeated it will be a complete disaster for the people there. Just look at Libya or Syria as examples. That’s what the people are facing. This is an existential war against extermination for them.

yeah most companies don’t even bother with the courtesy email anymore

Exactly, he was just a manager for one rape island that we know of. He was a product of a system that’s still humming along right now.

The way that normally works is that the US will isolate a country that can’t fight back and then commit war crimes there for decades because it’s a good profit vehicle for the military industry. They control the level of escalation, and they’re able to turn heat up when they want or to cool things down when they need to.

The difference with Iran is that it’s not isolated, and it’s able to fight back in a meaningful way. The US does not have escalatory dominance in this conflict. And that’s a whole new development for the burger reich.

Yeah, I imagine a lot of traders assumed the US would actually follow through on providing insurance or escorting ships. Now they’re starting to realize that’s not going to happen, and there’s an understanding building of just how severe the impact on the countries dependent on Gulf exports is going to be. So, panic is growing rapidly.

oh absolutely, it’s a war crime plain and simple
