Summer was already very interesting for the Iranians with daily 2hr+ blackouts and water shortages.
Now, they claim that part of the reason for the power shortages is the fact that the IRGC runs massive shitcoin farms; so it'd be interesting to see how/if this affects the IRGC's economy as well, although they seem to be doing fine as they are extorting the ships that want to pass through the strait.
I will tl;dr:
Last summer was very interesting, this summer was already shaping up to be fascinating with the central bank failing and water supplies being even worse than before. IRGC runs massive cryptofarms near their Hydro stations, and also exports a lot of power to neighbors - while their cities have blackouts.
Its all about grift and the IRGC gives no fucks because they believe (and very well might be correct) that the population is so cucked and caged that they will never rise up to threaten them. So they might as well continue to bleed them dry in cartoonish ways.
Iran would have enough water for its population, but that would mean cutting water to argiculture and industry, and very likely needing to relocation population from the dryest areas. Minus the IRGC being so dysfunctional as to be unable to deliver water (non-zero percent chance) there won't be any true water riots, just farmers mad about their completely failed dustbowl farms.
The funniest part is Hamas and Hezbollah don't have a history of attacking the US, but you know who does? Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and it's affiliates. But ISIS and al-Qaeda are funded and financed by our Gulf State "Allies", so the media just mushes them all together under one "Middle East terrorist" label in the hopes that the average American will just assume Iran must be where those "crazy ISIS fuckers" come from, and so why wouldn't we just carpet bomb the place?
hey retard. Iran backs more than Hamas and Hezbollah. Do you think Iraqis are headed to Iran because they believe its a good vacation destination or something? No, its because they are funded and armed by Iran, and have been trying to kill US citizens and service members for nearly the past 25 years.
Also lets not forget the shit Iranian supported orgs get upto in Lebanon and Syria. While you say they "don't have a history of attacking the US, but history say otherwise and you are just being
willfully retarded.
I would advise you to go into a VFW and say that shit, that Iran never attacked the US. Post the results.
That is a lot of "Man, the US should not mess with Iran. It really weakens the US when we assist them in engaging in Strategic Martyrdom." for someone who claims to give a fuck about the US.
Post hands.
Mossad is so deeply embedded that I can't even tell if they're lying at this point.
If they arrested 10 random people, simple probably says they got at least one Mossad asset.
Ukraine, of all places, throwing their hat in to back us up still surprises me.
Like don't get me wrong, it's a pleasant surprise and I appreciate the blue and golds stepping up, but I would've never guessed it in a million years.
As
@Silence of the Troons points out, even if you ignore the attempts to suck up to America and gulf-state funding, its in their interests to fuck up Iran to stop the flow of weapons, ammo, and components from Iran to Russia, and it costs them very little to do so.
I saw reports that UAE, Qatar, and KSA have already been placing orders for Ukrainian anti-drone systems.
Point of order, Ukrainian (and Georgian) involvement with Iraq was different. In other cases, it was seen as rehearsal for NATO applications; being able to provably show they had deployed in support of, and integrated with, a NATO military would go a longway to having their application received positively.
In Georgia's case, the mission was in earnest. They sadly took too long to apply, got invaded by Russia in 2008, and now the government is pro-Russia so that project is dead.
In Ukraine's case, at the time the government was a Russia puppet but they wanted access to the EU economy and money (which they could grift) it would bring. Having an active NATO application, even if they never joined NATO, would help with the EU membership application.
If someone is an American in this thread, no matter if love or hate Trump, why would any want the US to lose this conflict? Losing would signal that we can no longer defend the waterways and might call the confidence of the Dollar into question. Losing a war like this is different from Afghanistan because losing that didn't ultimately threaten our commitments, this is a different kettle of fish.
They would happily see parts of the country burn so long as it meant being able to "pwn Trump"
The leftists are more than willing to destroy America to get their way. See: mass immigration, government shutdowns, trying to cause economic collapse by attacking consumer confidence, etc. It's practically their whole platform.
exactly this.
not trying to attack you for posting this but i really wonder where these ~OSINT~ twitter people supposedly get this info
do they just pull it out of their ass, 'trust me bro' style?
tl;dr: People with knowledge have seen some shit and like to share the burden. I know a good number of things that I am definitely not supposed to know from when I got sand on my boots, and the only thing learning these items cost me was asking "Hey man how's it going?" to people and listening while they talked.
But a lot of the sourcing, especially since they won't attribute to who told them, is "source: just trust me bro".
You can also infer things from other information. For example, even though the fuel hauler doesn't know anything himself, if he is making a trip every day instead of every week, that's a clear sign some shit is about to go down.
or extreme tl;dr: They're all waiters at the E-4 Mafia's social club.
With all due respect to Hatemonger, is attacking Iran going to stop TERRORISM in the Middle East, especially considering the attacks against US forces in the region were at an all-time low?
No but yes.
Nothing except the total elimination of all human life in the middle east, and anyone any who was born in those territories, will stop terrorism.
However, Iran is the #1 sponsor of mideast terror groups, providing them arms, money, and training. Removing Iran's ability to do this will greatly increase stability in the mideast.
Iranian is also the mideast's #1 illegal drug distributor via its proxies.
