re: Official US/Israel vs Iran war thread
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 4/30/26 at 10:24 pm to wfallstiger
It's one thing to not believe Iran was doing these things in the first place, and now will be fanatical. I think that's wrong, but at least that logical.
But right now we have a huge group of people opposing action against Iran who agree that:
1) Iran helped kill a bunch of Israelis on 10/7
2) Agree Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon
3) Agree Iran has used proxies across the middle east to kill people
4) Agree Iran was pursuing a ballistic missile defense deterrent to protect #2
5 Agree that Iran supplies drones to Russia to kill Ukrainians
6) Agree that Iran leads a society that treats people, especially women like shite
7) Agree that Iran killed approximately 20-40,000 people 3 months ago
And those same people will then say, with a straight face, that this was will make them "more fanatical." :lol: what?
That's like saying don't stop the cannibal, if you don't catch him he's gonna get even crazier and start wearing people like a skin suit next!
They will also say that we should have taken a different non-war route, completely ignoring that's exactly what the US did for decades before.
That's why it's the worst argument.

My fear is this: the head of the snake remains and it will be more fueled and fanatical than before -
Let's just accept the narrative for second.
What's more fanatical than a country that is attempting to get nukes, has proxies all over the Middle East murdering people, launches rockets willy nilly at its neighbors, and killed 10s of thousands of people just 3 months ago?
What do mean MORE fanatical than that? You see how that logic breaks down eventually? What's enough? 50,000? 200,000? 6 million?
The argument they can be more fanatical after this is probably the worst argument made against this operation.

The strongly implied message in Bessent's post is that any deal will require a handover of power as well as the nuclear issues.
I'm not sure the administration has been super clear on that specific issue.
I imagine some of this is because they would take a Venezuela type situation. Someone who is "part of the regime" but "acts right."

As a LIFELONG Millwall fan since since August 30, 2025 who had to watch them fall to Wrexham and who owns a Millwall hat, I will be up at 6:30am Saturday to cheer on the Lions.
No one likes us!
We don't care!
We are Millwall
Super Millwall

re: Most Dangerous Cities - hhhmmm
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 4/27/26 at 10:28 am to DarthRebel
This list has so many inaccuracies and obvious missing cities it can't be taken seriously.
Some of these cities would make the list for sure, like Port Moresby, but this order is way out of whack and there are glaring inclusions and omissions.

Sorry metro is 55% white.
Black population of Atlanta proper went from 67% to 47% since 1990. The metro is even less.

But if we are expending that high of a percentage of our staple munitions in a limited two month air campaign, we aren’t ready for anything whatsoever.
I don't know if you can extrapolate that. Frankly, we don't know much of anything from our position, but it's plausible we used a ton of them because we could. Iran can't stop us from hitting targets, so we're shooting them faster than we would against a peer.
If I'm playing basketball against a 3rd grader I'm gonna take 1,000 shots. If I'm playing against a NBA player I might get one... probably not :lol:
It doesn't benefit the US to NOT fire off at a high rate. I don't even know how you define "limited," we've hit thousands of targets.

I'm not going to pretend to know what the right number is or I know anything about military production and logistics, but it seems to me we're never going to store enough munitions for a "prolonged peer action" because it's a monumental waste of money.
We're not going to carry WWII levels of inventory in the off chance we might need it. It's too costly and wasteful as technology develops while maintaining old inventory. If such a situation were to arise, I imagine the plan is to leverage our domestic production capabilities and speed up manufacturing timelines as needed.
Similarly, we wouldn't have the bodies for a peer fight either, and would draft soldiers.
