You got this Saudi Analyst saying they will get Pakistan to go to war with Iran. China will be breathing down Pakistan Neck.

Yeah that's not happening. There is no way China is going to let Pakistan take all its Chinese weapons and training and attack Iran with it. And considering Pakistan's Islamic hatred for Israel (which has entertained attacking Pakistan), they will find a way out of this themselves even without China.
Iran is losing personnel, command, and military equipment at a much faster rate than the US and allies are.
Israel is much smaller and can take much less pain. The US didn't want this; they are worried because this war was supposed to put China in a worse position but it ended up putting the US in a worse position. Iran is large, can take a lot of damage, and this is the end all be all of all conflicts it is on its plate. Iran is the only country here that can suffer enormous damage and is completely determined and invested in the fight.
It is also burning through its existing stockpile of ballistic missiles that I doubt are being replaced.
You doubt this but they say that they are and their strikes are increasing both in number and missile capability.
That, coupled with the expected takeover of Kharg Island, would essentially nullify Iran's remaining trump cards and economic lifeline. Once that happens, Iran would be faced with a renewed wave of domestic unrest in addition to a crumbling ability to respond to US/Israeli strikes.
If the US could actually do that at an acceptable cost, they'd do it before asking for negotiations. Instead, American generals are telling Trump that it will be horrendous taking Kharg and then they will suffer attacks and losses every day trying to defend it.
If the Iranian regime's primary endgame is to survive this confrontation, a deal with the US would be the only way to guarantee that, even if only for a temporary while.
Once you are attacked during negotiations, it should be clear that negotiations will guarantee death while fighting will give you a chance. Never negotiating again while inflicting unacceptable costs on the US is the only way to win and survive and open up the space to finally build the nuke that will guarantee long term peace.
To clarify, this is just a proposal for potential peace deals, not an indication that peace talks have begun or been scheduled. Iran, to my knowledge, has not entertained this.
Yeah, because of what I said above. Only you think someone who was bombed during negotiations should go back to negotiating.
It's not an "assumption" that Iran has been losing its military commanders left, right, and center, or that there have been numerous CENTCOM videos and statements documenting the destruction of Iranian naval, air, and logistical assets.
Apparantly, killing their leaders makes them stronger and fight better.
We get it; the current situation isn't to your liking.
Who is "we?" I just see everyone laughing at you. What we get is that the situation is not in line with your imagination, but looking at Iran finally fight with the water to their backs, it's very much to our liking. I thought Trump was militarily trained and Sun Tzu was mandatory reading at West Point. Doesn't he know to always leave a desperate foe with a way out?
Being military degraded and still able to fire off potshots against regional targets aren't mutually exclusive. A common theme of Reddit and SDF is that observers - perhaps understandably - fixate on and rally around the rare instance of Iranian missiles hitting Israeli cities or US bases while passively accepting the much more significant strikes on Iran's infrastructure and military.
Rare instances where Iranian missiles hit Israeli targets? It's so rare it happens multiple times every night.
Considering that Iran has fired hundreds, if not thousands, of ballistic missiles since the beginning of the conflict and had - on paper - a sizeable military and industrial capacity prior to the war, the fact that there have been relatively few accounts of successful retaliatory strikes is a pretty clear indication that the US and allies have been effectively "curbstomping" the Iranian military while suffering disproportionately few casualties themselves, no?
No not at all. The US and Iran have been stiking a lot of Iranian civilians while the increase in Iran's strike tempo shows that Iran was well-prepared to ensure the survivability of its military, not necessarily its leaders, but definitely the operability of its military in general.

And the US tried to get the Middle East to go terrorist on China because they were developing renewables taking away money they would be making on selling oil… And Americans don’t think they’re evil…?
US earning is in refining business. i dont think US crude can make that much money.
it should be noted. Every country (China exception) that have followed this renewable energy have practically deindustrialized. industries need chemicals and plastics. I have seen pics of storms destroying solar panels and wind farms.
data center better near Nuclear power and this Vostok energy project diesel/floating nuclear/battery still backup for Wind farm.

Russia has begun developing Arctic-grade wind turbines that can operate in extremely low temperatures, icy conditions, and hurricane-force winds.

Amidst this picture, which is humiliating for all Asians to see, I noticed something unusual. She's holding her purse while dancing. Typically, when women are guarded and insecure, they instinctively take their purses with them at all times. When they are comfortable and feel like they are in a safe environment, they leave their purses when it is inconvenient to carry them... and I would say dancing is a very inconvenient time to hold a purse. Is she really happy to be Trump's Asian whore or is she forcing herself to behave this way because she thinks it will prevent him from economically and politically attacking Japan again?
Japan's current ruling elites and government are a bunch of western judeo christian boot licking redtards. Same can be said about South Korea.

This is how you know Israelis are a fake nation; any nation that claims to have a long and storied history would know full well the sacred inviolability of messengers and negotiators because once you start murdering negotiators, no-one will want to deal with you. The problem trump has now where no one will speak to his team or negotiate with them is precisely the same issue kings and tribal chiefs had to deal with when they killed enemy messengers.

And Americans don’t think they’re evil…?

Forrest Gump is not evil

He may be stupid, but he is not evil.

That is America.

Mostly everybody is confused about the world at large.

You know what? I am drinking again. It is Saturday. Just drink more.

Then do not really know what I am posting about.

Saw this video, and I believe it was Prof. Yanis Varoufakis, he was doing an interview, being the guest on a podcast, and at the very last part of the interview, they talked about Russia and China, and the host asked, "Are you not concerned about Western values? Which state poses the greatest threat to Western values?"

Something like that.

What Prof. Varoufakis said was very straight to the point, and there was no doubt in his mind about that.

He said the state that is the greatest threat to Western values was Israel.

Because it was doing two things that were completely against Western values, that the West spent a lot of time, treasure, and effort over the last few decades to eradicate.

ONE was apartheid.
TWO was genocide.

Yet Israel was doing both. What could be more antithetical to Western values that those two things.

Prof. Varoufakis continued by saying, that whatever we may think of Iran or Russia or China, they are not doing those two things.

Guess the prof was saying since this being made a mockery of, then this is a threat to Western values because it is being undermined. That is what I thought he meant.

Those are powerful words. Because it speaks the truth.

To sidetrack a little, Chinese values do not change, except maybe Mao got some people to believe in the concept of serve the people, otherwise Chinese values have not changed since eternity.

But Western values are different, in that it is a process to try to improve it. Over the centuries and decades. Well that is kind of shot to shit when we look at the Middle East today.

Prof. Varoufakis had a very powerful point here. The host was taken aback, but there was no rebuttal to this.

What brings this to mind, is that I am drinking, and that I read an article during dinner time, by a famous right wing Canadian. He talked about briefly that Guardian article saying that a deal was possible with the British security advisor present at those negotiations before the United States did the sneak attack on Iran. What this Conrad Black said was that you cannot trust anything out of that left wing rag.

So that is the right wing's idea to all of this. Just shut up.

That seems to be the reality of Western values today. The left cannot uphold it because it is too weak. The right does not even care and wants people to just shut up.

Without values, does a civilization survive?

That is what Professor Jiang said, he said Western civilization will collapse!

Haha! Haha!

I am going to drink some more before going to sleep.

[rant] :D [/rant]
