Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

US miscalculated by listening to Netanyahu 40 year old powerpoint for some reason.

Killing Ayatolahs and grade school girls was an intentional act to galvanize Iranian unity behind IRGC to fight longer and privilege to spend more on weapons industry. This was best scenario for US oil industry to hike prices as Trump says "the more we fuck up world, the more money we make"

Problem: Iran has power to control global economy, and strike through Israel defenses, and fuck over GCC US colonies that have historically bribed the US, and Trump specifically, to protect them. All US bases in region are destroyed.

The US has not only failed to protect its non-Israeli allies, it has cannibalized missile defense systems from Asia to better protect Israel. It is utterly incapable of having any influence on critical global shipping channel that is the Straits of Hormuz next to Iran.

Bahrain opened its demonic zionazi pig fucker fuck face to UN to condemn Iran but not axis of evil for their problems. Zionazi axis agreed with them, but they got proper fucked 3 hours later.

TO HAPPEN NEXT:

US needs a denuclearized Iran to give Trump a "declaration of victory". Only path is to buy Iran's enriched uranium for $10M per kg, or about $6B for current estimated stockpiles, and so effectively pay reparations to Iran as their current maximalist demands include. Lifiting sanctions/embargoes is necessarily part of the deal.

GCC stop being zionazi stooges, because Israel has demonstrated that their destruction is more important to US than the US protection they were bribing for. US won't even pretend to GAF about them and offer to pay for reconstructing infrastructure or their bases. GCC joins BRICS and allies with Iran. Israel gets less ambitious about Greater Israel, and worries about little Israel.

The hard question is how does Israel and its US puppet rulership handle Israel's failure, and collapse of US power illusion? Zionazi DNC funding increases, and DNC wins mid terms, and US focuses on preserving little Israel, while keeping us educated on Holocaust and anti-Semitism, is a meh outcome to lay low for the next offensive on humanity.

All US bases in the region are destroyed?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. verified by satellite, though not a giant crater. Rather key building heavily damaged and radars unusable. Radars is special equipment through US contractors, but rest of base can be repaired with local labour. Still, colonies view of the bases is that it makes them a target without any protection use/value at all. If US still had good relations with GCC, there would be a congressional bill or emergency budget allocation dedicated to their reconstruction already.

GCC is not just key to world economy. It is key to US financialization bubble/success, and the ones Trump was boasting will be paying for MAGA. Among pure direct bribes to Trump, a $400M plane, $500M for a crypto scam, and funding Zionazi Elison's takeover of TikTok, Paramount/WB. Their betrayal is so extreme, that they are certain to shift alliance to China/BRICS who will outbid the US for GCC friendship.
