The real danger here for Iran is that they can't control the response from their proxies.

you know, i'm all about that DTA and DTI, but i'm really struggling to see how iran can respond to this in any meaningful way that doesn't result in their ultimately coming out the worse

does anyone have that rand paper with an analysis of in theater missile supplies and the required force size to maintain enough strike capacity against mobile launchers over the course of months? i think it was something like that.

RaySmuckles posted:this strikes me as a very interesting moment Yeah that's mostly how I'm feeling about this. This is the kind of situation forced escalations are born of, there is a huge amount of incentive for Iran not to back down. Either US hegemony is still peaking or we're about to see real open retaliation against for the first time in a long time.

I promise Bernie isn't going to come out and say Soleimani was actually good.

really queer Christmas posted:Ah good the liberals are here to tell us that war is actually good when you think about it. That's not what I said at all. Soleimani obviously did kill Americans, which is the part Warren and Cheney agreed upon, but doubling down on our mistake by continuing to get in stupid wars in the Middle East won't bring them back or anything, and it'll get more Americans (and far, far more non-Americans) killed, so killing him was stupid, and that's the part Warren and Cheney didn't agree upon, so pretending they're the same is bullshit.

Addamere posted:which is made even more likely by the fact we just killed the guy who was interfacing with their proxies yeah that's correct. that's how Iran could end up in a war here. Other than that, though, I don't think it will happen; I don't believe that they'll pursue a course of action that will lead to war.

Iranian leaders are smart, levelheaded, but their economy has been crippled by the US sanctions and followed by mass protests. They are backed into a corner and have the cause and motivation to launch a widespread retaliatory attack. Seems like a crazy thing to happen, but you know what else is crazy?

They had to spin it somehow, and americans are stupid enough that if you told them we just killed the big bad they'd swallow it
