Though the nationals they had in tehran have been evacuated now
And they are turbo hawks. they just want the strait opened though.
I think itās pretty much over. The US can apparently use b52s which means thereās no air defense whatsoever ā we have air dominance.
I would bet against Iran having any capability to launch serious ballistic missile mass anymore, but thereās going to be shahed attacks on hotels, bases, whatever forever.
Like when you think Islamic terrorism you probably think of 2000s era roadside IEDs, suicide bombers, but itās 2020 and with Iran in the mix Islamic terrorism was going to be a loitering munition blowing up a school because Iran pumped out 1000 shaheds per day.
What? Speak english
Remember when Jones was like āwhen you guys think war you think itās still like military force and bombs. No itās computers. Everything is computer stupid.ā
Now here we are, doing that same old war, and Jones feels the need to show up to the forum where everyone hates him to try and flex his special foreign policy knowledge.
Go find a better audience for your moldbug rotted brain.

No, Iām going to pop in here every few months to post what I like and think is interesting like Iāve done for a literal decade. Everything Iāve said is completely anodyne and youāre just a child with some need to bully me.
Remember when I used to do this kind of stuff? Oh yeah ā when the website was better and didnāt have bitter freaks pushing petty personal feuds?
Canāt imagine those few years ago where I would waste a day posting nonsense about the Ukraine war with gasp Osiris.
If I was to make a satire Jones account, that is what it would post. Incredible.
Just disappointed that even Jones would go neocon.
The real power of always multi accounting and sharing is you can't dig up their damn posts.
I was against bombing Iran in 2025 during the 12 day war.
Why?
I can make up reasons in hindsight, but from what I remember:
-
Israel had attacked Iran out of nowhere.
-
Iran had in return showered the place with mass ballistics.
These do not look like the terms you want to enter a war on; thatās the basic thesis.
forget that I misread your post
It began when Israel bombed military and nuclear facilities in Iran in a surprise attack,[43][44] assassinating prominent military leaders, nuclear scientists,[45] and politicians,[46][47][48] killing civilians,[24] and damaging or destroying air defenses.[49] Iran retaliated with over 550 ballistic missiles and over 1,000 suicide drones,[50][51][52] hitting civilian population centers,[53][54] one hospital[55][56] and at least twelve military, energy, and government sites. The United States intercepted Iranian attacks, and bombed three Iranian nuclear sites on 22 June.
So this time is different because?
Different force structure is assembled. Trump admin has passed some legislation, has enacted and created elements of their domestic policies; it would be abysmal to enter into a foreign war 6 months into your term that takes all of your attention.
I was convinced by reading some Obama era stafferās comments on ycombinator in the last few months.
I think this is even worse timing. Same thing with Biden. Look like Israel's bitch and enough voters sit out to lose an election.
