Very interesting video by Iranian OSINT Pataramesh analyzing the Iranian strikes on Israel.
He also made a vid on the Israeli strikes on Iran:
The issue is that production is bottlenecked so no amount of extra money can help that in the short term
So, what's everyone's take on the possibility of the US taking on China?
I have a hypothesis that Iran didn't intend to do much damage, and instead focused on maximizing what was it's win condition, to waste as many Israeli interceptors as possible.
I think Iran already has a plan for whenever they would be attacked by the US. And this means it is very likely that they have factored in losses deemed acceptable from being struck first.
When you add in the fact that they are in high alert, it is likely that they will weather it better than they would have otherwise. What I mean is that if it was the US that attacked first on friday, while Iran was asleep, the damage would have been much more severe than what we have today.
In general I agree, however my concern is that this is a materialist analysis of a situation that, at least in the short term, has shown to not align with materialist logic.
It is likely that on one hand, the US will continue to prop up the entity economically even if it would collapse otherwise.
On the other, it is possible that pure racism and genocidal intent will keep the entity alive for longer than it should, like adrenaline would keep someone alive and moving after receiving life threatening wounds.
With all due respect, they are literally sending ballistic missiles every day to Tel Aviv, what are you trying to get at?
I dont think Iran will capitulate
Counterpoint: Line going down is funny
