You think that it isn't? Do you know how propaganda works?

Jiang's interviews and blackboarding out scenarios
You do realize that anything can seem likely when people pull you in and you don't question their assumptions.
Lord of the Rings is perfectly logical once you accept the premise.
We have people who have been brainwashed into saying in public that they want kids dicks cut off.

Someone started a thread about Prof. Jiang on the OT earlier this week. As I said in that thread, he can be entertaining and thought-provoking. But take him with a grain of salt.
After that thread, I ended up listening to a couple more of his videos this week and I definitely disagree with some of his analysis-- especially when he starts riffing on how China is not much of a threat (not surprising, though, as I think he's currently living there). He also oversimplifies some ideas like how the asymmetrical advantage of Iran's cheap drones present a challenge... but framing it such that the US cannot defeat them due to this. I disagree. It's absolutely a concern and may result in failure-- if combined with heavy Shia resistance and lack of support here in the US (a huge concern between the media and congress). But to simply assume the decentralized, amorphous nature of these drone threats automatically create an undefeatable force rings a bit more like anti-American propaganda (from a Chinese guy) than it does a battlefield certainty.
Again, I listen to the guy now and again and find him engaging... but I absolutely do not trust him in some regards. Discernment is required.

That is exactly what we are being told. Thousands of deaths on their side, 6 on ours.

You have heard of the Smith-Mundt Act, right? Mockingbird Media?
Who should we listen to for "real truth"?

Not exactly seismic.
Without the corrvid mail-in ballot nonsense, Trump was going to win office in '24. We didn't know that the fraud would be (mostly) prevented, but we knew Trump would win if the fraud was significantly limited.
Also, we didn't start the war. Iran did, decades ago. We just didn't finish it until now.
I'm worried though because we're essentially imploring the Persian people to fight and reclaim their country from the regime, and I'm not seeing videos of them doing so. An army of Kurds joining the ground game is certainly a boon, but the Persian people themselves (actual victims of regime subjugation) are going to have to step it up.

Keep on watching Fox News. Or whomever.
I'm sure they wouldn't lie to you.
You guys
Don't know what y'all are afraid of, but I know this -- between Mockingbird Media and the Smith-Mundt Act restriction assure us all that whatever slop is presented as "news" is exactly what you fear.

The war has been raging for 47 years! This is not a "new" war!
Get with the program, Professor Jiang!

They aren’t doing so because Trump told them to hunker down and to be ready to reclaim your country. The time will come for them to rise up. Then we can measure the people desire for change.

First of all - anyone from Harvard is FOS
Second - in reading your posting over time - you appear to be another out of control screaming liberal so why not just take a few months off and come back in September with a big fat I told you so

Disagree. IOW for avenging the past will never end with that tact. Who owes us blood? Who else do we owe? Frankly, Fauxi and those ilk have a big bill to pay. But I digress ;-)

Of course. That's no biggie a prediction. Iran War WAS.

I thought that encouragement was strange to begin with. If there's an internet black-out we might not "see" much from them.
At that, what assurances do they have of US or other reinforcements or coordinated efforts to help? Moreover, I don't think we can fully or even partially understand the combat dynamics of "fighting back" when they as well as we are blinded.
I clearly recall when we implored the Kurds to fight back against the Iraqis in 2003? Only to hang them out to dry.

That place is very tribal. Who know whether the Kurds would be seen as "liberators".
The problem with "subjugation" -- people get used to it. Collectively. Restrictions of freedom and even enslavement feels "safe" in an odd way. Remember "Stockholm Syndrome".

I would bet our own strategists predicted the strategy the Iranians are following . That is why they are bringing in B52's with guidable gravity bombs.
The percentage of retaliatory strike by Iran continues to drop. And the remaining launch sites are probably in population centers. I would give residents notice to vacate by a certain time and then bomb those areas. The Iranian people were told by Trump to wait for the time and that time is quickly approaching. With the people's help we can throw off the totalitarian butchers. It is now or never the people cannot allow the regime to survive.

Did professor Jiang predict the Iranian despots would massacre over thirty thousand of their own people?

It’s not a new war.
For example, We were striking Irans proxies under Biden.
How were we not in war with Iran if we were doing retaliatory strikes on their proxies?
2 years ago we were fighting Iran.

Stop making common sense observations! "Free Speech"?? Constitutional HERESY!! Opinions against the grain? PROPAGANDA!!
As you no doubt note, Trump is allowing another 500,000 students into US universities. Ooof.
