Looks like this Just-in-Time war machine had some considerable risks. Back to the jira board.

Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.

They get a trillion dollars a year. What the fuck do you mean they're still just in time?! What do they do with the money?!
They can't pass an audit
If it were me I wouldn't have done that.
critical support to the MIC grifters pocketing the money instead of delivering materiel
Seems theyre just talking about advanced munitions and ballistics, no? This is why the capitalists won't win. They know a conventional war is deeply unprofitable and would be incredibly unpopular. Theyre in it to make a quick buck. Iran, however, is fighting for its very existence. And we've seen numerous times throughout history what the resolve of a people who have nowhere to go and nothing to lose can do.

Correct. They aren't talking about small arms ammunition. I heard a figure that the US might be down to like half the total supply of THAAD interceptors after the "Twelve Day War". The missiles take ~3 years to manufacturer from order to completion. It's all the fancy (but profitable) wunderweapons the US military uses that are good for shock and awe, but not great at fighting a war.

That's exactly what I was trying to say, thank you. The west just thinks "big boom = win"
All major powers seem to have their doctrine based on first strike capability and defense. Big expensive equipment that can hopefully neutralize the opposition of the bat, as well as trying to defend against said decapitation strike. Meanwhile smaller actors plan for attritional wars since those expensive toys are all spent after 2 months of conflict.
I am just wondering here what Israel or the US even have to offer in terms of peace when the munitions run out. What would prevent Iran from continuing to hammer Israel and US assets until the entire Epstein Coalition project to control west asia is over? How many months before Israel stops functioning as a nation state? If the US were to unilaterally withdrawal from west Asia they are cooked wither way
Assuming the US and Israel really REALLY wanted to stop this war and Iran is on course for a strategic victory, I think a peace deal looks 1st and foremost, lifting sanctions on Iran, creating a new JCPOA without snapbacks and very possibly a zionist retreat from Gaza while allowing full international support to go in.
But neither the US not Israel can be trusted to stick by any agreements. Iran is limited only by its own capacity to diminish the imperialist influence over the region directly. Agreeing to an early, "no more sanctions okay ceasefire" is likely to be followed up with (1) continued bombing by the US/Israel and (2) reintroducing sanctions within months.
Yes, but still, Iran will always try to play the UN charter card.

Let's hope they strike pissrael hard and sink some boats. An aircraft carrier would be wonderful. Also those yanki bases across UAE, Bahrein, Qatar, Jordan, etc... Make it riskier to host them. 
Iirc Iran claimed they hit a statesian carrier but I don't know if that's true yet, I was just passively listening to some news.
They hit a US navy support ship, sadly no carrier
Damn, that's all? 😢
Iran on the other hand has enough missiles to drag this out for months iirc.
It will be the hell of fun and shame if the USA resigns in this war because of this reason.
if the USA resigns in this war
The troops ran with their tail tucked between their legs from the houthis and still framed it as not losing, even though they achieved their objectives and we failed at ours; even libs were like "we could've killed them all but we're too nice" 
They still frame Vietnam as a win because they killed more civilians than the Vietnamese killed US troops.
At this point I'm convinced that they unironically believe that the side who slaughter the most peoples is winning harder.
They can just get some spare munitions from europe
oh
God I want to be in the cartoon ass timeline where America runs out of Ammunition and Iran somehow blows up the white house.



Didn't they play Victoria 2? You're supposed to stockpile munitions before you go to war.
Remember when Russia invaded Ukraine and everyone talked about how Putin overestimated their readiness because he was surrounded by yes-men?

Yeah, it is turning out to be a meat grinder for both as I understand it. But it's also depleted muntins of the US and it's allies. My understanding is that Russia relies on more conventional and cost effective equipment and munitions. I could be off base, but I think if those conditions were true then it could result in a fat L for the Axis of Epstein.
Getting margin called in the middle of a war
In the beginning of a war 
lol Epstein coalition is so cooked.
The exact same thing happened to :nato-cool: in Libya
