Alamkiir:


Let me ask you a question.
Do you actually think that the US will attack Iran if today Russian and Chinese president come out to say; " look, you cannot attack Iran, we will not let anyone attack Iran, we will back Iran no matter what" trust me they won't. but Russia coming out to say " we will talk to Iran, we will settle this blah blah blah is just chicken to me. After all the help Iran renders to the Russians during the initial stages of the SMO, when they couldn't get a single help from anybody, not even china

The US will still attack.

The US is not scared of fighting a proxy war against Russia or China.
It is currently fighting a proxy war against Russia where its contractors in Ukraine are firing projectiles at Russian energy and military installations deep within Russia.
It fought a proxy war twice with China. In Korea and Vietnam.

In fact, the US relishes the opportunity to Ukrainize Iran.
You cannot just say you'll back Iran, blah blah blah.
Talk is cheap.
You'll have to put up the hundreds of billions for the war effort.

A war, by the way, that is completely avoidable.
That is the rub.

Iran is a decades old project for the US.
They spent $1T in Afghanistan. They'll easily put up $2T to cripple Iran.
Russia and China will be on the other side of that equation and will have to pick the pieces--from reconstruction to whatever political nightmare results because we all know how it'll start, we do not know how it'll end.

I have to repeat this vital fact; this war was completely avoidable.
We all know China has NK's back, but without the nuke the US will be sabre rattling to this day.
They stopped. Do you think Xi does not like the peace and quiet in the Korean peninsular as against the alternative where he'll have to sock away billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of Chinese lives to defend NK if it did not acquire a nuke.

At a minimum, Iran has successfully burned a hole in the Russian and Chinese treasury because of its stubbornness.
A proxy war is all but assured.
Russian and Chinese operators will be deployed in Iran.
Some will die as they'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But that's the cost of having an ally that's turned st*pidity into an Olympic sport.

Disabuse yourself of the notion that this war was somehow avoidable after Iran decided not to acquire nukes.
Sternly-worded letters and frown emojis from Beijing and Moscow are not a substitute for a nuke.
The mullahs opted to play this dangerous game and they've dragged the entire axis into a quagmire of their own making.
We're in the FO stage and I hope the dead generals were worth it.

Here's the supremely annoying part.
Ideally, the moment B-2s are in the air, Iran should publicly use the impending attack as a casus belli to put together a nuclear bomb.
No one here can bet $1 that Iran will do that.
No one here can reassure that Iran will commit to getting a nuke after the first wave of attack.
That's the level of ret**dation we're collectively making excuses for.

Be that as it may, the Axis as presently constituted is stuck with each other. Faults and all.
No one is hanging Iran out to dry.
All of the recent sanctions levied by the US against Iran are being ignored by Russia and China.
The rest of the PS+1 (the Europeans) threatened to impose new sanctions because of Iran's recent enrichment surge.
Russia and China told them to pound sand and they suspended those plans for now.
The trio have met twice in 30 days over this nuclear issue. They'll continue meeting to coordinate a diplomatic response and when the time comes a military response to the US and Israel's adventurism.
The Houthis are still downing US drones and firing missiles after 3 weeks of bombardment. Hezbollah held back Israel. 75% of Hamas tunnels are intact after 1.5 years of indiscriminate bombing.
Iran will be fine. Calma!
But the needless death and destruction that's to come is entirely the fault of Khamenei. He owns this mess.

In fact, in one of his recent public appearances, Khamenei said there'd be no war. That Trump is saber-rattling.
So I'm in hurry to rake Putin and Xi over the coals, when the guy who's about to get a black eye does not think his assailant will make good on threats.

Japan hold around $1T US bonds and China $800b US bonds.

Imagine a big sell off from this two
USD will depreciate and financial crisis will hit their banks.

You know Bond selloffs can spook equity markets, triggering volatility. Banks and institutions holding Treasuries could suffer losses. Huge losses

Wise trump crashed the market, his friends buy low, he pauses the tariffs so market goes back up and he brags because no other president had a one day gain like him nobody know stocks like him lol

he transferred 7 Trilion to the rich in one day.

What a genius.

Say something smart pls, you were saying the us economy will crash ba ?

Bigots always have a way of making themselves look stupid. Christian, or let me say historically christian countries are the ones causing chaos all over the world today.

⚡Trump:

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PATIENTLY WAIT IT OUT. TRUMP WILL ALWAYS FOLD... STEWPID HUMAN...

Ghostagain:
What brought "people from third world countries" into the discussion?
What is the obsession with "people from third world countries" ?

Tucker is as usual showing how racist he is.
He's obsessed with "great replacement theory".

Even Libyans and Tunisians have now developed their own "great replacement" theories about blacks. I don't understand what we've done to the world.

WTF

23jerryking:
You guys don't even believe your own selves anymore. At the start of this whole drama, it was "Russia is taking on Ukraine and entire NATO independently". Now that something is not going your way the narrative has changed to "After all the help Iran rendered Russia". Coming from supposed brilliant people's camp😂. I dey tell una, war analysis is not for everybody. You guys should at least cultivate the culture of staying true to the right and accurate information. You deny obvious facts when it doesn't suit your narratives but come right back to it when it appears you need it in order to win another cheap argument. The other time it was two of your own arguing with each other as concerning whether N. Korea have soldiers in Russia or not.
Are you not tired 😫? It seems you might soon commit suicide if Russia and China do not challenge the US over this Iran whatever. You seem to care more about Iran than even the very Iranians.

I have read this twice and I still don't understand what you are saying.
