Glad Johnson went and hid as war broke out. Nothing that happened during the election could have warned us of this tendency. Hopefully not too many people die this time and we stay out of it.

I don't know that you can have a world war with only the US really wanting to fight. Oh and the UK I guess maybe if johnson can come out of hiding long enough, I'm sure we can crash an avro lancaster technically inside the iranian border or something.

Nah we're gonna go with the 'chinook in a couple of light patrol vehicles' plan.quote:Weighing 7-tonnes, the Panther is air transportable and can be underslung beneath a Chinook helicopter. It is armed with a 7.62mm L7 general purpose machine gun, which can be upgraded to a 12.7mm/cal weapon if required, plus an appropriate day or night sighting system. Are boys boots on the ground don't like it up 'em. Maybe hang BoJo from a harness waving a couple of flags for moral support, too.

Trump thought he could pull a ridiculous power move without consequences and got called out, this is exactly what he deserves and I have zero sympathy for him or anyone who picks up a gun in service of the country he leads. This will be awful for Iran but it's nonetheless going to backfire massively on trump, so silver linings

I am less sure it will. If anything a few Americans + a lot of Iranians & Iraqi's will die and a tremendous amount of money will go to the MIC but unless Iran is prepared to escalate to state sponsored assassinations and terrorist attacks in the west or to really gently caress with the strait the most likely outcome is Donald loving trump gets a second term. [E] The people pulling the levers in the states do not give even the smallest fucks about Dubai or anyone else in the region. Though I am legit surprised that this is happening because the Trump's appear to be massively owned by the Saudi's. Saros fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Jan 8, 2020 |

It would be bloody awful but they're not about to roll over like Saddam did, and they don't be beaten with air power alone (which is far from guaranteed). The US could legit get its rear end kicked unless they just nuked them, but if that happened then well we're well and truly through the eye of the needle. - don't the gulf states have a fairly pally relationship with the US, particularly the UAE? - other complicating factors: Israel + its neighbours, the other global powers response (esp China and Russia).

Yeah a lot of the gulf are functionally US client states with the twist they realised a good while ago they could just buy a lot of the US democratic leadership outright with petrobucks. It's one of the reasons this is all so insane. As for a land war in Iran that is definitely not happening. The US is both unprepared for and just not capable of a major land campaign now. I can't even see a major air campaign because it's just nuts. If they try they will lose not insignificant amounts of planes as Iran has both a modern air defence net and is totally prepared to retreat to a pop up style air defence when the US breaks their expensive stuff like their pride and joy s300's. Iran won't win per-se but there isn't really a win condition for the US here either unless they just decide to say gently caress it and eat the casualties inherent in an extended bombing campaign to essentially destroy all the infrastructure necessary for a vaguely modern country to exist. It's reallll dumb all around.

Iran is a completely different story in terms of capability, terrain and willingness to fight than either of those countries. I'm not saying the US couldn't do it (they totally could) but they can't do it from a standing start or without losing a lot of planes and people in the process.

America can lose an endless amount of planes and people because that's not actually bad for them. Every plane that gets blown up is a few million more dollars profit for defense contractors, they'll literally just print the money. Every american has been brainwashed since birth to respond to dead soldiers with a craving for escalated war, seeing the coffins draped in flags makes more white yanks go "hoo-RAH!" and sign up to be the next one. They are all insane.

Almost every Republican senator knows if they ever go against Daddy Trump they instantly lose at least half their votes at the next election, *especially* when brown people blood is in the equation. e: Also this is probably for the best, because Trump is at least easily distracted and only cares about what the telly says. Pence is loving evil and has an agenda and a basic attention span, and would definitely end up killing a lot more people. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Jan 8, 2020 |
