any type of military operation require bases in central Asia especially in Turkmenistan. then it would be very easy for PLAAF to participate.
China has very deep strategic interests in central Asia. a big military base serve the purpose very well. hope government think about it.
I think PLA already has a base in Kyrgyzstan, established after the 2016 Chinese embassy bombing.
That is true. Israel and US military facilities neighbouring Iran will bear the blunt of any Iranian retaliation. Thus, there is little downside to the US itself aside from potential military casualities and destroyed equipment. US CBGs will likely launch attacks from the Omani coast, outside the effective range of most Iranian missiles. Even if US runs out of munition, it can always take a break, restock, and repeat. The length of the war only depend on the will of the Israeli leadership and society.
Yemenis successfully targetted a tanker near the mainland Indian coast, some 2000km away.
It looks like US deliberately wants some of it's assets to be hit.
That actually figures into my calculus — I don’t actually think that Trump knows what the win condition is either. The lack of a clear objective may prove detrimental.
Trump's win condition is simple: don't be labeled an incestuous child molester.
Obviously it is within Israel’s interest to remove the last thorn from the Middle East. They’ve completely exposed themselves after Oct. 7th and there is no guarantee of continued American support when the boomers and Gen X die off. To ensure a safe future they have to completely cuckify the Middle East and North Africa.
I suspect the prognosis to be much darker than simply cuckifying the middleast. Instead, the Arab regions around Israel will be depopulated completely (as they say in Farsi,
niist o nabood, lit. extinction/complete annihilation). Gaza was just a testing ground, it seems.
Watch the Saudis suddenly become a threat as well if Iran collapses, the Kurds, the Qataris. The key aspect of countries built on supremacists ideas is that you always need an enemy, an "eternal struggle" in which to rally people in order to maintain some semblance of cohesion.
I spoke to some local Kurds about the situation in Iraq and they said it's about to get bad. Didn't elaborate. Then recently, I spoke to a Chinese contractor in Iraq and he said the same thing but elaborated a bit with the Kurds in the north who are going to do some shit.
Kurd is a major problem in Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and Iran, and Israel regularly regards them as "our friends".
If the zionist virus is not stopped, there are dark days ahead for humanity. We can look at the zionist regime as of now as the american 13 colonies moment. What happened after that? Genocide, ethic cleansing, extermination of the indigenous populations and a whole continent taken over. We have seen that the zionists have absolutely no remorse to follow the same path, in fact their demented ideology drives them to do just that. And after they finish exterminating the palestinians and take their land, and then if they continue with this "greater israel" lebensraum plan with an order of magnitude higher attrocities against the unfortunate local populations, what makes one think they will stop at THAT? What makes one think they will not continue to relentlessly expand into Africa, Asia and Europe?
A zionist empire is probably the darkest nightmare we can all be confronted with, nevermind the current infiltration of US and large portions of western societies and not only as of now by said zionist cartel. Like i said another time, we have to give it to them that they are relentess and ruthless in pursuing their demented ideology, but they are not invincible nor unstoppable. But if no one rises to stop them, yesterday it was Palestine, today it is Iran and tomorrow it might be us. I shudder just thinking of such a future.
Some years ago, there was an article in an Israeli newspaper which claimed that the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and Pakistan are actually Israelites. The epilogue concluded with "one day, we will bring Israel to them".
