2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

Hopefully, those THAADs dont return back to Korea.

That's the thing. The only way to stop caring if there is 1 or 2 THAAD located in Sissy South, is when PRC start to act serious in these extremely dangerous times and understands that a 43,5 Trillion GDP PPP economy should also have the largest military budget in the world - BY FAR. Nothing should come close, not even U.S.

Then, it would finally be irrelevant if there are 2 THAAD batteries south of DMZ, or what kind of "upgrade" DPP-extremists in Taipei receive from the Imperial Trump regime.

There aren't going to be Revolutions in the Gulf States tbf. As much as incompetent their monarchies are, much of their lower class being constituted of indentured workers that have almost no rights and being rendered powerless for even basic things by their authorities.

That is actually perfect revolutionary material/ 5th column. Abused people also fight a lot harder than people who never had to do anything with their lives.

But the problem is that the US and Israeli strikes has pretty much depleted Iran's conventional military assets (fighter jet, naval ships, anti-air batteries). Leaving them now would be a golden opportunity for Iran to quickly buy Russian and Chinese equipment to re-arm.

we have zero reasons to conclude anything around believing iran lost all its conventional military assets. the IRIAF was flying outside iran in the second day, or at least it claims. there were the migs shooting down drones today. and the american drone abuse shows they may not be flying that much above iran, aside from b-2s, and the tankers being flown too..

The Saudis are helping Bahrain put down any potential unrest.
If the oil production gets destroyed, things will be rough for everyone.

IRIAF jets are strike targets in Iraq literally right now.

To be fair though, that they actually have that option says a lot. Just how it says a lot that they have to fall back on this option right now. It's certainly an advantage when you can easily and comparatively rapidly redistribute your assets on a global scale. But the fact that they have to do this now, despite several weeks of build up, as well as having had the luxury of choosing when they start the war, shows how badly they miscalculated. They thought Iran would simply fold because their head of state and a couple other officials were killed. That Iran has build their entire doctrine around such a possibility must've occured to them, but they thought this would be enough anyway.

I'm imagining Iranian version of Gordan Chang whispering sweet nothing to the neocons and they actually bought it

Good that their planes are operating unlike what some westerners claim that they destroyed their entire airforce

I guess a preemptive strike to prevent us/israel supplying the Kurds

Suddenly it became good to kill protesters if they are the ones doing it.
