Iran: the collapse

Way to go America..... So much winning! Can I get the updated " I did this" sticker for the pumps?

Nate Silver: “According to the AAA, average retail gas prices in the U.S. are now $3.45 per gallon, up about 50 cents from a week ago. However, the problems are likely to worsen significantly as supply chains are disrupted. Traders at Polymarket anticipate that the most likely range for gas prices to land by the end of March is between $4.50 and $5.00. And although there’s a wide range of uncertainty, there’s a 41 percent chance they exceed $5.00 by the end of the month.”

“Americans are used to gas price fluctuations, but it’s not all that common for prices to go quite this vertical in the span of a month.”

 

I mean, even if it was bombed by the U.S., do you think this administration would ever admit to as much?

 

What will it do to the price of eggs?

 

Is it true that Iran/USA are keeping the tankers heading for China un interferred with?
If so, is it a deliberate act to keep China at bay?

 

Who's the terrorist?

Is ICE coming for them now?

 

If he was Russian you would have called him based

 

No, what I’m saying is that the French government concluded that they had been defeated, and continuing to fight would just lead to more pointless French deaths. Japan found itself in the same position in 1945, and surrendered. Neither Britain nor the USSR found themselves in that situation, so they kept fighting on.

 

Why exactly are all the mouthpieces of this administration spouting murderous intent when talking about this conflict?

 

You sure you know your WW2 history? Most historians would disagree with what you wrote

 

Ahh my favorite supremacist with yet another empty post. Zero F given to civilians who aren’t from "the garden" right.

This is fine as long as it's black and brown people's kids being double tapped

 

As explained earlier, avoiding more pointless French deaths was not the reason behind the surrendering. This was a political maneuver (signing an armistice with Germany would allow France to maintain a semblance of sovereignty, and thus enable Pétain to overthrow the Republic), based on a flawed military analysis. Any other option (transfering the government to Algiers, placing the French fleet at the service of the British, continuing the war from North Africa) was immediately dismissed by Pétain and his inner circle.

 

A reprisal 47 years in the making

 

It's being used in a clumsy and ignorant way to rationalize criticizing Iran for not surrendering.

 

True. I'm just correcting a historical error. But that has nothing to do with the subject, indeed.

 

Because they can, encourage to the deafening silence in the wake of the massmurder on Gaza children and women.
Wonder if these images of bloodthirst at the potential cost of the Iranian population are being seen. It would be a major publicity own goal for the Yanks and Israel if the Iranian regime would make them visible.
It's like....you complain about us killing 30,000 of you? This is what your saviours have in mind for you.

 

They were negotiating and were attacked in the middle of them...AGAIN

Surrender to what? Who in their "bloody" right mind would ever trust the US and Israel to honor the terms? It's not Iran that did this - it was the Epstein coalition.

Again, surrender to what when the US promised

• Steal their oil (Worst than Venezuela affair)
• Balkanize the country (Neo-Syria)
• Pick the head of state (they've see that before)

Just naming those - who would ever agree to that? There's no off ramp here because the Epstein duo made sure of it. They want Iran destroyed

 

Because Lindsey Graham is one of Trump's circle of child abusers.

 

Praise the Lord and pass the bombs!

 

Contestants - tell us how long we've been at war with Iran without going over. Rep. Crawford:

There is however a mountain slope this bombing freighttrain will hit.
And that's the point when no surrender is being forced, the stockpile inevitably will reach a red line.
How many casualties did Iran count in the war with Iraq?
That;s a sobering number for those who think this bombing campaign is going to deliver, if ever, within the timeframe of what's left to use is going to force Iran to faulter.

 

To me, the two parts in bold contradict each other. If America won’t deploy ground troops, Iran can’t possibly lose.

Explain to me how Iran can lose if they just refuse to surrender, AND ALSO America doesn’t use ground troops. To me, that scenario is literally impossible.
